Dalì-La Rienzo

Awesome place to brunch and have breakfast , I totally recommend the Guacamole omelette with pancakes ! Can't wait to come back and try some other deliciousness :) very casual place , love it!

Humara Kausar

The pancakes are cloud like fluffy - request bananas/choco chips . Orange juice is very fresh and the omelets are hearty. If you don't like avocado , ask them to go easy on them. I love this place!!

Rob Pickett

Everything the kitchen turned out looked great. The omelets were light & fluffy & stuffed with fresh grilled goodness. Pancakes were awesome! The fruit was fresh like the prince of Bel Air!

Antonio Suarez

Best Breakfast in town . Always is a good choice.

Rene Flores

Read the back of the menu and learn about the common thread among The Omelettry, Magnolia Cafe , and Kerbey Lane Cafe - as well as some Austin history.

The Popeye omelette was amazing and hit the spot. I've never had sour cream on an omelette but it was great! The gingerbread pancakes were sweet but a nice change! Cash only !

Randy Case

The buttermilk pancakes are the best. It gets busy around noon on the weekends. Get there early

Larry Bietz

Everything is prepared wonderfully. Good portion, fair prices , and fresh ingredients . Will go again

Policarpo al Fresco

When you can outsmart the crowds, this place is definitely worth checking out. Their delicious omelettes are a must-try!

Amor Tirado

This place was a really good find, but they need to update their address. We had uber take us to the wrong location. Popeye pancakes were delicious!!!

Evan Gainder

Love the new building. Still funky, but new. And of course gingerbread pancakes !!!

bart collet

Authentic style, The Popeye Omelet got me going all day

Elizabeth Hall

Best hole in the wall breakfast and heads up they are moving soon to a new location!

Jackie Mann

My eggs Benedict were amazing, totally worth the half hour wait on a Sunday.

Sam Melnick

The Spanish omelette is loaded with tasty, chunky salsa and the whole wheat pancakes are SO GOOD!

Martin Bebout

I've been eating here for 30 years and it hasn't changed a bit. Tasty food, relaxed atmosphere , and friendly , laid back staff .

Omri Goldshtrom

Family friendly , great coffee , great food, lots of gluten-free options and customization

Ben Thoma

Kid-friendly? You bet! How many restaurants bring out crayons AND toys for the kids?

Pedro Seguel Varas

Very nice Benedict eggs and pancakes

Andee Derby-Aguilera

Be prepared to wait on the weekend but it's worth it..

Glenda McKinney

Good bagels , and I love to order scrambled eggs with cheese and spinach , because the omelettes are too big for me!

John Hume

The new dining room is airy and comfortable . Overall it seems like the move was a step up!

Rachael

Veggie omelette is delish, with a generous portion of avocado at no extra charge(!).

Aneel Nazareth

Buttermilk pancakes are great

Bruce C

Get the gingerbread pancakes , and ADD chocolate chips . If that's too sweet for you, add both pecans and chocolate chips . THAT is some happiness.

Stacy Patton

Gluten-free pancakes and broccoli omelette withe lemon sour cream

Connor

Ham and cheese omelet ! Classic and incredible! Cash only !

Miriam Goldman

The best pancakes , maybe ever. Go gingerbread or go home.

Evan Gainder

Gingerbread pancakes are heaven. They are light and yummy!!!

Candace Little

If you have Celiacs Disease I don't recommend ordering the gluten free pancakes . After a few times of cross contamination I wouldn't eat them again today I was hurling like the Exorcist both ways.

Josh Viveros

Home Fries are legit but the eggs are crap. This place is a little over-hyped.

CJ Romberger

To bypass the wait, consider sitting at the counter. I thought the service at the counter great.

Rick Pearson

Good food, great pancakes , mediocre service, they are proud of their long time tradition of serving bad coffee with 2% milk ( no half and half )

Anh Nguyen

Awesome breakfast ! Completely worth the wait on a weekend morning.

Nadine Charles

BYOB 🙌 and pancakes are amazing!

Cokie Craig

Everything! Yum Yum

America Geenens

The vegetarian omelette was delicious!!

Amanda Bendrey

The wait is long but the food is SO worth it. The pancakes and of course omelets are amazing!

Snoot Comer

Soon to be open for dinner , too!

Christine Newman

Be warned, cash only ! Good food but no kids menu , so pretty pricey for a family compared to other local places. Also no refills on sodas . Long wait unless you get here early.

Jhessika Oliveira

Pancakes 🥞

Evan Gainder

Love the gingerbread pancakes .

Greg Odum

The service is usually stellar, but on this day, the gentleman behind the counter was unnecessarily rude and snippy.

Hama-Lychee

Everytime I am craving for breakfast this place is packed

Tina Brown

The syrup is so good I have to lick the extra off the walls!!!! ;)

Mark Cisneros

Try the Popeyes ' omelet , it's the bomb!!!

Christina

Standard breakfast joint.

Rob Pickett

This little gem is cash only btw...

Sarah

The food is great, but the cash only thing is a pain. If ppl have to pay a fee to use an atm , they're probably going to tip less.

Madalyn Sklar

The buttermilk pecan pancakes are devine!
