First up is a dedicated brunch restaurant called Forthright that we adore for its bright, elegant vibe and their spacious outdoor patio where we love to enjoy our meal.

My favorite thing to order here at Forthright is their unbelievably delicious fried chicken and waffles along with a mimosa, of course.

You can find them off of Red River Street and East 3rd Street on the outskirts of Downtown Austin, right across the street from the Austin Convention Center.

What we love most about this place, besides all of the craft cocktails, moonshine, and texas brews, is that they also have an amazing selection of sweets like dark chocolate cheesecake and a banana cream pudding that’s simply divine.


Taverna Austin (Downtown) | The Baci Room

258 W 2nd St, Austin, TX 78701
Phone: (512) 477-1001

Taverna Austin is a great brunch destination that you can visit in Downtown Austin, in between the Market District and the Waller Creek District, that has exceptionally tasty brunch food and mimosas.

We think Taverna shines the brightest for its food, but the drink deals are also amazing at this charming Italian restaurant.

Check out EastSide Tavern off of East Cesar Chavez Street and Comal Street near East Austin where you can find $14 bottomless mimosas every Saturday and Sunday.


Knomad Bar

1213 Corona Dr, Austin, TX 78723
Phone: (512) 628-4288

Knomad Bar is a fantastic place to go for brunch in Austin because of its convenient location just outside of the Windsor Park neighborhood.

Do you often get sad when brunch is over because the fun is ending? Well, that’s not a problem here at Knomad Bar!

When brunch ends, more fun begins, usually with live music or trivia nights!

They have the cheapest bottomless mimosa option out of any other place we’ve come across at only $11.50 for what they call a “Mimosa Onslaught” which sounds intense.


Banger’s Sausage House & Beer Garden

Banger’s Sausage House and Beer Garden is an enthralling place where you can get the most delicious sausage in all of Austin and experience their fantastic brunch menu, as well.

Phone: (512) 628-4466
Visit Website

Next up, you’re going to want to visit this place called Takoba off of East 7th Street and Onion Street where they serve some of the most amazing brunch in Austin, in our opinion.

There is no bottomless option here at Takoba, unfortunately, but they do offer some of the most affordable mimosas that we could find in Austin, so it only felt right to include them on our list.

Mimosas by the glass are only $2.50 and a whole carafe is only going to run you $8, so we think Takoba is probably one of Austin’s best brunch spots for when you’re on a budget.


Josephine House

Phone: (512) 477-5584

Josephine House is next on our list and you can find them over in Clarksville just southwest of the Pease District Park where they offer some amazing brunch deals on drinks and food.

This is an upscale New American restaurant with a brunch menu to match, including delicacies such as lemon ricotta pancakes and grapefruit Palomas that we simply couldn’t get enough of while we were there.


CRU Food & Wine Bar (2nd Street – Austin)

238 W 2nd St Unit 13, Austin, TX 78701
Phone: (512) 472-9463
Visit Website

CRU Food and Wine bar is located off of 2nd Street in Downtown Austin where you can get some incredible brunch food and drinks to make your weekend utterly delightful.

I highly recommend trying their blood peach bellini, but they also offer an amazing mimosa that they craft with fresh grove stand orange juice and Ruffino prosecco, or you can try the bellini Cipriani made with white peach purée.

Swift’s Attic is another fantastic Austin brunch spot with great drink deals during brunch and also phenomenal happy hour specials.

You can find Swift’s Attic off of Congress Avenue right across the street from the Texas Toy Museum and just north of the JW Marriott Austin.

What we love most about Swift’s Attic is that you have the option to “pimp your mimosa” by adding a flavored shot of either elderflower, peach, or raspberry for a little extra deliciousness.


Better Half Coffee & Cocktails

406 Walsh St, Austin, TX 78703
Phone: (512) 645-0786

Lastly, Better Half Coffee and Cocktails is easily one of our favorite places to get brunch in Austin not only because of how long their brunch period lasts, but because they have the best michelada that we’ve ever had.

Brunch is served here at Better Half Coffee and Cocktails from 8:00 AM until 3:00 PM so there’s no shortage of time to enjoy all of their amazing drink deals and brunch specials like their incredible chicken biscuit.
