Kerbey Lane Cafe

I love brunch. I love health food. And I really love hippies. I have always wanted to be one….I just can’t seem to pull it together. But that is neither here nor there. The above being said, I was super excited when a friend mentioned this place in Austin and I googled it. It looked perfect. And by the end of our six day stay (including five mornings), we had eaten at Kerbey Lane three times. The Cafe offers your standard breakfast/brunch fare. Omelets, pancakes, breakfast sandwiches, etc. They also have a lunch and dinner menu that is seasonal and appeared delicious, but alas we didn’t have time to try it.

To make a long story short, I will say that everything the Monger and I ate was really good and satisfying. Omelets and scrambles made with fresh local produce, natural ham and sausage. Last but not least I will mention the pancakes. One day we had the whole-wheat apple pancakes. These were very hearty and really amazing. However, if you are looking for a light summer breakfast I would not suggest them. They are definitely more fall/winter fare (if that even exists in the perpetual summer of Austin). My absolute favorite thing we ate at Kerbey Lane was the peach-pecan pancakes. With chunks of ripe peaches and just enough pecans, they were almost good enough to be dessert, but not sweet enough to make you sick after a few bites. I highly recommend them. Although, Kerbey Lane changes their pancake offerings daily so they may not always be available. Oh well, all the more reason to go every morning and do some culinary investigating.
