Counter Cafe - Austin, TX



Yeah.



What you're thinking is correct.  And I'm not going to ruin it with words.



Summary:

Atmosphere:  old school skinny diner, countercentric, good for breakfast or lunch, good for the solo traveler, good for hangovers, not good for more than four

Food:  breakfast and lunch, upscale diner food with fresh ingredients, excellent

Dog Friendly:  yes, but limited space, just two outdoor tables and probably not dog friendly on a hot day, as one is on the blacktop and one on concrete with very limited shade

When to Go:  after a good night of drinking, late morning on Saturday or Sunday, and grab a beer while you wait for your table

Crowd:  diverse, students, neighborhood people, all age ranges, all socioeconomic levels (yeah, that's right, socioeconomic, ok though, not the homeless)

What to Order for the First Timer:  Breakfast:  Sausage and Blueberry Pancakes.  Lunch:  Counter Burger and Counter Fries.
