Downtown Austin, Austin · shop
A hybrid café, bakery, flower shop, and gourmet market where buying a floral arrangement, a charcuterie board, and a plate of shrimp and grits in the same visit somehow feels completely normal. The Golden Egg (a nutmeg cake dipped in butter and cinnamon sugar) has developed a cult following alongside the breakfast sandwiches served on artisan bread. It closes early enough that getting there by lunch starts to feel oddly urgent.
Creamy avocado toast on thick sourdough—the downtown breakfast move before meetings
Buttery layers, dark chocolate—what regulars order without glancing at the board
Fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon on a fresh-baked roll from the in-house kitchen
Nutmeg cake dipped in butter and rolled in cinnamon sugar
Gulf shrimp over smoked cheddar and jalapeño grits
Happy hour runs Thu, Fri, Sat, 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM.
