What People Are Saying About Driskill 1886 Cafe & Bakery
The Editor
Contributor
Citysearch
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.

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
