What People Are Saying About Driskill 1886 Cafe & Bakery
Featured Review
Contributor
Contributor
In Short – Inside The Driskill's lobby is a more subtle cafe with 1920s hexagonal-tile floor. Sophisticated details include cherrywood accents, etched glass, art deco-style chandeliers, copper salt-and-pepper shakers and fresh flowers. Baked goods are prominently displayed near the entrance. Choose from the quiet atmosphere inside or a comfortable patio. The menu features pastas and comfort food like meat loaf and burgers with skin-on fries. Organic breads made daily include kalamata olive and Serrano cheddar.
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- The bakery opens at 7am daily for coffee and pastries like the chocolate croissants that contain world-class chocolate in each bite.
- Parking:
- Customers with to-go orders receive complimentary valet parking; enter from Sixth Street.

Great salad
by Csadjadi at Citysearch
My Husband & I ate lunch there yesterday & were not that impressed. I had the mixed green salad with chicken which was good. My Husband had the french dip thinking that the Driskill would have some of the best prime roast beef in the city. Not the case though: ( Maybe this place should stick to being a bakery & not a cafe? Just saying.. you be the judge but we have way better places in Austin for lunch!

Great Cinnamon Roll and Illy coffee
by sculptra at Citysearch
Just wanted to try a new place for a pastry and espresso. The cinnamon roll is actually out of croissant dough-- at least it tastes that way. Yummy! And Illy coffee is always a nice treat. If you are going to dish out a few bucks at the chain across the street... Don't. Just fork out a dollar or two more and get something made in house at the 1886 Bakery!
- Pros: Nice quiet, reserved, and beautiful interior character

Worst Customer Service In Austin!!!!
by ATXSBCO at Citysearch
I used to live over in the Brazos lofts across the street from this place. I loved the food, but I never will go back because of the repeatly rude service. Maybe because I am young and appear to not have " money" the servers where awful. If you eat here take it to go!

Tasty Ceasar Salad--done right; recommend breakfast too
by c_burnet at Citysearch
The ceasar with salmon or chicken is really quite good - kinda perfect. Have enjoyed a tasty egg and pancake breakfast too.
- Pros: quality food in a casual atmosphere downtown

Cold Coffee
by nana_bee at Citysearch
This place is an awesome choice to have a sober hang-out at 6th street. Valet parking at Driskill is reasonable-$10 bucks if you don't want to hassled looking for a parking space.
Cakes are not too spectacular and the coffee is lukewarm. Very disappointing and bizarre!
Customer service is good. That makes up for the coffee's temperature.
- Pros: Cheap Valet Parking, Great Ambience
- Cons: Lukewarm coffee
