Absolutely great experience for a Sunday brunch. Austin local and have wanted to visit Paperboy for a few years but was afraid it was going to be overhyped online. That was NOT the case. We had reservations for 4 ppl and they were running a bit behind. After a 15-20min wait they apologized and brought us some coffees. Once seated, service was great, food was spot on and all four dishes were fully enjoyed. And the staff brought us a comp starter for the wait (the French toast with mascarpone, which was OUT OF THIS WORLD) which was not necessary for a short wait but was absolutely appreciated and a pro move. Would I return? 100%

Excellent small breakfast venue. Charlie was a great server. She made a great experience. Everyone was smiling and happy. Great patio and inside venue.

Always a crowd pleaser whether going in to pick up a few pastries to enjoying lunch with friends it’s a go to spot that always leaves everyone wanting more. I’ve been enjoying Epicerie since they opened and Sarah has kept everything evolving since day one when it was primarily a market that served foot. Fast forward 10+ years and it’s a delightful restaurant with amazing service. Keep up the great job team!
