My friends and I stopped by at this bakery while we were exploring Austin during my bestie’s bachelorette trip. It is such a cute place to stop by to sit and hang out. It is attached to this amazingly beautiful hotel and has all the beautiful vibes of it. I got a classic croissant which was buttery, flaky, and had a little sweetness on top which we all loved. A little extra salt would have been nice, but otherwise the texture and flavor were amazing. Next time I’ll make sure to get a picture of the pastries before they’re eaten! Such a fun little stop!

Pretty good breakfast options overall. They had a gluten free muffin which was nice. The Driskill breakfast was good but it seemed a little stingy on the scrambled eggs. We were told that some options were recently scaled down because of new ownership. For example, only whole milk (no skim or 2% for lattes). They also didn’t have honey and didn’t allow for regular coffee refills. Music was a bit loud in the cafe also but the decor was nice. Staff was very nice and friendly. If you’re staying in the hotel it’s a quick close option.

The best Huevos Rancheros I have ever had for breakfast. Just the correct amount of spice. The ambience is amazing. Very friendly staff.

Amazing atmosphere. Such a sense of History in the hotel. The cafe has great brunch. I had the ladybird egg white omelette. It was so good. I ordered a to-go one to take home to my son. You have to go in and order at the counter and then you can pick where you want to sit, whether it’s in the cafe itself or out in the lounge area of the hotel or on the patio. It was great fun

A rare 5-star breakfast surprise!
This cafe sets the gold standard for what a hotel dining experience should be. We honestly just walked in not even knowing it was attached to the Driskill Hotel.
The attention to detail is remarkable and the quality is far above the usual ‘vacation breakfast.’
Easily the best culinary discovery of our US trip. If you are in Austin, do not skip this.

This charming and elegant brunch place is well worth a visit! Out of all the breakfast spots we went to on our trip, this was the best by far. We ordered the Texas waffle, huevos rancheros, and club sandwich. The portion sizes are perfect, and the flavors of the rancheros were fresh and amazing. We loved the waffles; they were cooked to perfection, and the vanilla cream paired perfectly. Overall, 1886 Cafe & Bakery is the perfect place to stop for a relaxing yet flavorful breakfast.
The service was also exceptional and would definitely come back soon.

Had the steak and eggs at Cafe 1886 at Austin and it was really good. The steak was cooked just right and full of flavor, and the eggs were done perfectly. Solid food, relaxed atmosphere, and good service. Definitely worth stopping by again.

The Driskill Café is stunning, with high ceilings, beautiful details, and a warm, historic vibe — definitely worth a visit for coffee or a pastry, which looked delicious in the display.
Unfortunately, our breakfast didn’t live up to the setting. My partner had the turkey B.L.T.,which he didn’t enjoy and couldn’t finish — and that says a lot.
My yogurt was alright but too sour because of the amount of lemon juice that was in it.
If the food had been better, this would have been our go-to breakfast spot in Austin. As it was, we didn’t end up coming back during our stay.

1886 Cafe & Bakery is a great place for a sit-down brunch or an easy lunch when you want something a little nicer than a standard café. The baked goods looked amazing, and what we tried was fresh and not overly sweet. The meal itself was well-prepared, nicely plated, and portions felt worth the price. Service was friendly and professional, and the atmosphere has a classic, cozy feel that makes you want to take your time. It can get busy, but the overall experience is consistently solid and worth the stop.
