Paperboy South
1401 S Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX
Crema's Take
“Paperboy South is an Austin brunch destination that elevates breakfast to an art form, with rotating seasonal menus that deliver elevated flavors like pulled pork with pecan mole and savory Texas Hash that consistently surprise regulars. The intimate booth-lined dining room (plus bar seating) creates an inviting neighborhood feel, and the notably attentive staff make you feel genuinely welcomed whether you're squeezing in on a Saturday morning or booking a reservation weeks ahead. This is the kind of place where first-timers often become devoted repeat customers, drawn back by the unwavering quality and creativity that keeps the menu feeling fresh.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.
