5 Unique Austin Brunch Spots

Austin is known for its live music and craft cocktails, so it's no wonder the night owls are usually late for breakfast. Enter brunch, and the Twisted Texas Tour Brunch Bus. We've rounded up five brunch spots as weird and wonderful as A-Town itself. Choose your poison!

What's a kolache? It's a Czech-style pastry brought to Central Texas around the 1850s. Klobasniky, the Texas spin on the traditional kolache, are stuffed with meat fillings like breakfast sausage, ham, and even pepperoni. The best spot we've found to enjoy these little gems is Batch Craft Beer + Kolache, where you can grab a cold one right next door.

Austin claims roughly 2,000 food trucks peddling everything from soup to Thai-style ice cream, making them the win for a casual, budget-friendly brunch. Our top local spot is Radio Coffee and Beer, a food, booze, and music venue that feels like a backyard party. In the outdoor area you'll find Veracruz All Natural and its migas poblano taco, Briscuits combining biscuits and barbecue, and Shortwave Diner churning out classic chicken and waffles.

The Twisted Texas Brunch Bus is a rolling brunch party that takes guests to three of Austin's best brunch joints while a live band plays on board. The BYOB bus offers live music, fun Austin trivia, and a crew you'll never forget. All food and adult beverages are included in the ticket price, making it an easy and entertaining choice for weekend brunch.

The folks at Pinthouse Brewery know the best way to face the daylight after a wild Saturday: pizza. They hand-craft their pies with premium ingredients and serve up some of the best craft brews and beermosas to wash it all down. Just make sure you wear your fat pants.

One of the city's fastest-growing brunch traditions is Chinese dim sum, a chaotic-yet-organized way to brunch where food carts roll through the aisles offering everything from soup dumplings to chicken feet. Trendy favorites include Wu Chow and Lin's. Pro tip: these hot spots are getting popular, so plan ahead to beat the wait.
