More information on Thistle Cafe

What started as simply a brunch and lunch spot, with takeout on the side, has branched out to become a viable dinner alternative. The relaxed surroundings during the day are spruced up with white linens at night, signaling a change in menu and attitude. When you visit, you will smell the scrumptious baked goods as soon as you open the door. Menu items include such Austin brunch favorites as migas and breakfast tacos, and more refined fare such as salads and pastas. The tortilla soup has a distinctive flavor, and the chocolate meringue pie is not to be missed. This is a popular spot, so expect to wait during peak times, such as weekends.
