Review by Faye Kohler

Counter Cafe is a gem in Austin! 🌟 The cozy, casual atmosphere made it perfect for a relaxed brunch with friends. I ordered the classic buttermilk pancakes, and they were fluffy perfection, paired with rich, aromatic coffee that kept me coming back for more!

Their fast service was impressive, especially considering the usual wait time. We enjoyed some vegetarian options too, which were hearty and flavorful.

Plus, the outdoor seating is a great touch if you want to soak up the sun. Can’t wait to return for their happy hour! 🍳🥂
