South Congress Cafe

Cafe · Austin, TX

About

The crowd is a relaxed mix of gay and straight locals, especially during the popular weekend brunch. South Congress Cafe serves up breakfast and American classics in the Warehouse District, with a Bloody Mary made with local Tito's Vodka infused with lemons, onions, garlic, and peppers. Yelp data suggests the venue may be permanently closed, so it's smart to confirm before heading over.

If you're exploring the area, Magnolia Cafe South is a nearby option for late-night comfort food. This cafe's laid-back vibe reminded one visitor of northern Seattle suburbs like Wallingford. Weekday brunch lets you skip the rush, but hours extend until 10 or 11pm depending on the day.

“Great place”

The food and service were excellent. It was my first visit.

“Nice spot, crazy busy on a Monday.”

A lengthy walk but absolutely worthwhile, this is a fantastic place. My meal and drink were excellent, and the dishes I saw being served to others looked stunning. The service was solid, and my short time in that area reminded me of neighborhoods north of Seattle, like Wallingford, which I enjoyed.
