"This is the Austin area outpost of Bakery Lorraine, the popular French-inspired bakery and cafe with a few locations in San Antonio. And much like its 90-mile-south counterparts, it’s a great spot to kickstart the day with some house-made pastries and coffee. Grab a twice-baked almond croissant if you’re on the go, or sit down for a full menu of breakfast and lunch entrees. We like the croissant sandwiches and quiche lorraine, but there’s also an excellent BLT made with crispy pancetta between a few thick slices of house sourdough. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
