Better Half Coffee & Cocktails

"Better Half is an all-day operation with a big patio, tasty cheeseburgers, and cauliflower tots that'll make you reconsider your relationship with potatoes. They also have a great Happy Hour." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion

"This all-day spot close to Downtown has fantastic food, free parking, and a top-notch patio. The daytime menu at the West Fifth Street restaurant ranges from light granola bowls to hearty breakfast choices, like sandwiches stuffed with eggs and hash browns.  Quality coffee is a guarantee, in addition to the cocktails, if that’s how your morning is going. Find a spot in the indoor dining room or bar area, which will have cool music blasting, or take to the giant outdoor area outfitted with pink picnic tables shaded by a huge live oak tree." - Erin Russell

"The Deal: $6 cheeseburgers, $6 sangrias, $3.50 High Life, $4 St. Elmo Kölsch Based on how busy Better Half is during the day, you’ll often wonder if people in Austin even have jobs. Maybe the draw is the nice backyard, or maybe it’s the $6 cheeseburgers during Happy Hour. Also on Tuesdays, bottles of wine are half off." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion

"The Clarksville-adjacent all-day restaurant has a patio and menu that are highly adaptable for any occasion: first date, networking meeting, or post-bike brunch. Try one of the best breakfast sandwiches in town with an iced coffee under the shade of a centuries-old live oak tree, or come late and meet new people over cocktails and burgers and hearty salads on the communal benches, painted a friendly shade of pink. There’s a small indoor area, and Better Half also has its own parking area, which is incredible for a place this close to downtown." - Erin Russell

"This all-day cafe was named Eater Austin’s restaurant of 2018, and still, co-owners Matt and Grady Wright, Matthew Bolick, and the team continue to deliver fantastic service and convivial vibes. The West Fifth space feels appropriately Austin with its large patio, great coffee, and a first-rate lineup of beer and wine. The menu is full of laid-back dishes with lovely touches like breakfast sandwiches layered with hash brown patties or the iconic cauliflower tots. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury, Erin Russell
