We recommend going early to be able to get what you want on the menu. They run out of things by lunch. But the atmosphere is like stepping back in time in Texas history. The valet service is wonderful as well in busy downtown Austin.

One of the best chicken biscuit I had in recent times. Perfect ambience to meet friends for brunch.

Really good! A bit of a long wait but for a good reason. Went to Austin on vacation and stumbled across this place walking around downtown. Whenever I go back this place is a must. Food is great and the place is unique and clean.
The 1886 Café & Bakery is a charming, Victorian-style café in Austin's iconic hotel, The Driskill, serving delicious traditional Texas comfort foods that combine time-honored original recipes with contemporary preparation. Dine on dishes such as Helen Corbitt's Cheese Soup, delicate quiche lorraine, or order fresh pastries and cakes from the bakery window.
