A neighborhood French-Vietnamese café and bakery in South Austin, with sunny dining rooms and a shady garden patio.
The banh mi on a house-baked baguette and a steaming bowl of pho are the essentials; open with a croissant or a tropical macaron from the bakery case, and add a boozy punch or a Vietnamese coffee.
It takes reservations and welcomes walk-ins, but the sunny rooms and garden patio fill on weekend mornings, so book ahead or go early. You can put your name down and wander the neighborhood while you wait.
A migas taco and a walk by the water cost a few dollars and beat a two-hour brunch line on a beautiful morning, and it's about as Austin as it gets.
