Paperboy

"This food truck-turned-Central East Austin restaurant is all about that daily brunch game. The menu is classic Austin, offering everything like sweet and savory pastries, brown butter pancakes, migas, and loaded toasts. Drinks round out the meal with coffee, cocktails (including a spicy bloody mary), and juices. Brunch hours are 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday through Sunday. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Paperboy has come a long way from its humble origin as a popular East Side food truck selling breakfast sandwiches, parfaits, and cinnamon toast. Now, they’re a quintessential brunch spot, also on the East Side, but with a dining room and a rooftop patio. Their claim to fame may have been the BEC sandwich, but there’s a strong menu of toasts, hashes, and even steak and eggs for your friend who’s still on a keto diet. There’s also a full cocktail and coffee menu, whether you’re in recovery mode or are still trying to keep the party going from last night." - nicolai mccrary, adele hazan, raphael brion

"This trailer-turned-restaurant is where you go to enjoy a great BEC on a rooftop patio overlooking East 12th Street. Expect to find lots of breakfast and brunch classics on the menu, including lox plates, cinnamon toast, and migas. It gets especially busy during the weekend from 11am-2pm when people like to pair food with mimosas. The solution is simple—show up early when you can enjoy the same menu (and drinks) and be out the door before the sun finishes pre-heating." - nicolai mccrary
