Such a lovely cafe! Plenty of taco/burrito/breakfast options and if you don’t like the taco offerings they will happily make you what you want. The tacos had yummy tortillas and super soft scrambled eggs. Perfect coffee and the staff were extremely friendly and chatting up regulars who came in. They even gave me and another customer a free cookie because it was our first time! Prices are also extremely reasonable/cheap and great size taco for the price.

First timer here … I tried Thistle because it was close to my “goto” breakfast place, whose line was too long. I guess it was a blessing in disguise.
The food was available fast; and the tacos were tasty—every ingredient, like it was fresh.
I peaked under the tortilla cover and put some sauce on it, which only enhanced the flavor and didn’t cover it up.
I also appreciate the conversation while taking the order—not too much, but enough to feel like an individual customer. Nice!
I’ll be back to try the rest of the menu!

They have about 10 kinds of breakfast tacos. I tried three on corn tortillas. All of them were very good and the salsa was house made fresh. They make the tacos as you order them.
The person who helped me at the front also offered me a free cookie because I was a first-time customer. He also seemed to know the regulars by name.
They have good, strong dark coffee with refills included.
And there was light aconstruction in the dining room when I was there.
The prices slightly reasonable than other spots I’ve tried downtown.

Delicious!! I enjoyed the Migas breakfast tacos with some of their mild salsa. The veggies were fresh and crisp. The tortillas tender and warm. This little cafe is tucked between two tall buildings with stairs leading to a little courtyard and the Thistle cafe. Such a great find!

This is an absolutely lovely little breakfast and lunch spot perfect for anyone working or just visiting nearby in downtown Austin. I’ve been a number of times now and had many different menu items, and it’s always excellent. Moreover, the staff is always extremely warm as well as professional and diligent.
The burger is great, the wraps are great, the breakfast tacos and migas plate are great, the people and prices are great – in short, it’s great.
+ The food is consistently delicious.
+ The workers/management are consistently friendly.
+ The prices are extremely fair.

Brothah up front was such a homie!
The vibes were immaculate!
They hooked it up on the breakfast burrito!
I hardly ever leave reviews unless I’m blown away. First time in Austin and first place I ate at!
Makes me wanna come back

Quick quality, no nonsense breakfast. It’s quiet too as it’s tucked down below an office building.. I had huevos rancheros and it was solid. If you’re traveling and you just wanna sit by yourself in a quiet place and get a good coffee and something filling this is it highly recommended

Lovely atmosphere here. The waiter was awesome. They answered any and all questions. The food was very affordable. Especially for what you got. I ordered the state burrito and it was very good. Very filling too. It has a self-serve salsa bar and it has a self-serve drink bar in the back. Fast and efficient. And affordable. Highly recommended. Five stars

It’s an interesting route to get to this place – feels a little speakeasy like while trying to find it but well worth the weird journey. Amazing service- made to order burgers and some of the best tortilla soup I’ve ever had! Random food find but what a gem it was!!! Will return. The cookies – so soft and tasty!! Check it out you won’t be disappointed.
