Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Was our first visit, and will certainly not be our last. The service was great…our beverages stayed filled and we didn’t have to wait on anything. The unsweetened iced tea tasted fresh brewed - I am particular about “several day old tea” taste. The food was tasty and well presented. We tried the Not-so-common BLT and the Mushroom Risotto. Reasonable wait time on the food preparation. The BLT bacon was good cuts of bacon that were absolutely perfectly cooked. The eggs were just right…cooked enough to not be too messy, but not overcooked so the yolk was like a nice sauce on the bacon. The fries were perfectly crispy and potato-y. The risotto was creamy and a good consistency. It was seasoned well, allowing the mushrooms to be the star of the show. Great location, it’s right in the town square across from the courthouse. Will try it again based on our first experience.

Exceptional! We’re huge fans of Foreign & Domestic in Austin and have been wanting to get here for years. Space is beautiful, lovely views of the courthouse. Food was incredible. Best coconut cream pie I’ve had in my life! Their biscuits include sneaky cheddar cheese not listed on the menu which would be good to know about, but otherwise everything was amazing and we can’t wait to come back!

Cute cafe. Friendly staff. They make as much from scratch as they can. We ordered the popovers - absolutely delicious and their compound butter is awesome. My husband ordered the spaghetti and said it was good. I ordered the tomato soup - wonderful - and the caesar salad with grilled chicken. I would have rated the food a 4 until I went to eat the last bit of chicken as it was pink inside. We talked to them about it, and they were very sweet and gave us a discount. They explained how they cook the chicken, and theoretically, it should have been done so not sure what happened there. We will go there again when we're next time we're going through town.
