Magnolia Cafe South
American · Sunday Brunch · Austin, TX
About
Since 1994, Magnolia Cafe South has been serving late-night comfort food under the famous excuse that they "lost their keys." The kitchen hums 24 hours a day, so you can get breakfast tacos at any hour. The vibe is low-key and welcoming, a mix of students, night owls, and hungover brunchers.
Sunday brunch is the busiest time, but the queue moves fast. The no-frills interior keeps the focus on the food: hearty omelets, giant pancakes, and milkshakes. For a post-meal stroll, Bouldin Creek Coffeehouse is just a short walk away for another round of caffeine.
Features
