My friend and I drove to Austin for brunch and absolutely loved the ambiance. The restaurant felt very welcoming, and we were seated right away by the window, which made the experience even better.
Our server was very friendly, offered helpful feedback on our selections, and gave great recommendations. We started with drinks—an OJ mimosa and coffee/matcha. It took a little while to receive our drinks, and our coffee and matcha arrived after our appetizer was served.
For our appetizer, we ordered the Burrata plate. It was paired beautifully, and everything on the platter complemented the delicious, creamy burrata perfectly.
There was a short wait before placing our main orders, but once we did, the food came out pretty quickly. We ordered the Huevos Rancheros and the Sweet Corn Cake Benedict. Both dishes were flavorful and well-balanced.
Overall, it was a great brunch experience. I would definitely recommend this spot and look forward to coming back again.

Everything about Caroline was absolutely perfect! ✨ This is a cozy, intimate spot that delivers an impressive dining experience with outstanding food and service. The space is small but thoughtfully designed, creating a welcoming and polished atmosphere.
Downstairs features a well-organized restaurant with a formal yet comfortable vibe ️, while upstairs offers a fun, energetic party-style ambiance —great for different moods in one location.
The food truly tasted like a 5-star experience, both in flavor and presentation. Every dish arrived beautifully plated and full of bold, well-balanced flavors . Highlights included the spicy deviled eggs ️, roasted street corn, and the oven-baked chicken wings, which were perfectly cooked. The crab and artichoke dip was rich and comforting.
For mains, the chicken schnitzel was crispy and flavorful, the wild mushroom bolognese was earthy and satisfying , and the green chili chicken enchiladas had just the right amount of heat. The standout was the lobster bucatini , which was creamy, indulgent, and absolutely delicious.
Tried Goey butter cake(taste is good but little over baked- got stuck around the cup) and Tres leches ice cream(decent but not exceptional)
Service was attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the visit .
Pros:
✔️ Exceptional food quality
✔️ Beautiful presentation
✔️ Great service
✔️ Fun upstairs vibe with a refined downstairs dining area
Cons:
➖ Bit pricy, Limited space, so reservations are recommended
Highly recommend Caroline for a memorable dining experience in Austin!

Loved our visit to Caroline! Aaron was an awesome server—super friendly and on top of everything. I had the biscuits and gravy and the Mexican coffee, and both were so good. The biscuits and gravy were comforting and flavorful, and that Mexican coffee was the perfect treat to go with it. Great food, great service, and a really nice vibe. Would definitely come back!

So so good! I was in town for a few days staying at the CitizenM a block up for a work trip. We normally try new things but we ate at Caroline’s twice on our trip. Delicious food! We didn’t need reservations when we went during the week but they’re recommend. There’s also a bar up stairs. I got a appetizer, entree and soda for $50 including a soda and tip. Great spot.

Our server was really nice and she gave good suggestions.
I had avocado toast with an egg and it was good.
The biscuits and gravy came out luke warm and was not very good.
The chicken enchiladas was dry and I wouldn’t order again.
Okay atmosphere. At the bottom of a hotel so not the local feel I enjoy.

I wish I could remember what our waiter’s name was because he was just awesome!!! we had such a delightful evening at Caroline’s and the food was amazing! I had the green chili chicken enchiladas, which had just the right amount of heat and cilantro. Also, the chicken was done to perfection, which can be a gamble with chicken enchiladas, where the chicken ends up dry or rubbery. I wish I would’ve gotten a picture to share of our dessert which was the chocolate bread pudding because it was just to die for!

The food was great. We started with the burrata and it was amazing. We got the chicken schnitzel which was really good. The bistro steak sandwich was phenomenal—tender, juicy, and super filling. We ended with a tres leches that was the perfect dessert. Our server Aron was awesome

The food is fresh and delicious! Aaron was very attentive and friendly. For our first time in Austin this was a refreshing brunch experience. I recommend the Texas Mocha it’s a spicy chocolatey kick to a cold brew.

We had Christmas brunch at Caroline’s today, and it was truly such a special experience. From the moment we walked in, the entire place felt festive, welcoming, and full of holiday spirit. The food and drinks were absolutely perfect—delicious mimosas and eggs Benedict done just right—but what truly made our morning unforgettable was the service.
Our server, Memory, was phenomenal. She was so warm, friendly, and genuinely kind, and she made us feel cared for from start to finish. Her energy and attentiveness added so much joy to our Christmas morning and honestly elevated the entire experience.
We were also incredibly impressed with the manager and the whole staff who chose to sacrifice their Christmas morning so people like us could have a place to gather, relax, and feel festive. That generosity did not go unnoticed.
Everything—from the atmosphere to the food to the impeccable service—was amazing, but Memory’s outstanding service is what truly stood out and made this experience so memorable. We’re so grateful and will absolutely be back.
