Unassuming and surprising. I was not sure what to expect from this place but was pleasantly surprised. Staff was super accommodating a friendly. Our server was a combined training and experienced with two people. Didn't bother us. Still the whole staff kicked in to ensure we were taken care of. You don't see this much these days. You can tell this place was aligned and everyone worked well together. Though small, it was quaint and a nice little joint. As I said above, unassuming. Food. Well that was quite good. We started ordering things just because we wanted to try them. Waffles were soooo good. Eggs Benedict, traditional breakfast, biscuits, and all were very good. We'll be back.
Servers were attentive but not very knowledgeable about vegan options on the menu. I ordered the avocado toast with vegan egg and it was good but pricey! The menu states that they have vegan burger patties and eggs upon request.
I was pleasantly greeted and immediately seated. Everything on the menu looked amazing. I went with a Latte and Avocado Toast. It did take a little while for someone to take my order, and after my food came, after I wrote this, finally someone made sure I was ok. The restaurant is small and cozy, there's also an outside patio not too far from the river. It has a modern, clean farmhouse vibe. The soundtrack was mostly Van Morrison and Lou Rawls and similar sounds. The coffee and food was so tasty. I heard they were training when they took the order of the table next to me and it's a Wednesday Morning so they probably aren't on their A-game since it's really not busy. Bet it's a different experience on the weekend.
I got the American breakfast and it was insanely delicious. The bacon was so good and same goes for the sourdough bread and the jelly. For how small the space was, it had a cozy feel. The waiters were kind as well!
Loved this place. Their ambient is nice and the pasta even better. I ordered the pappardele and it was amazing! I will be right right b
Cute brunch spot tucked between The Line Austin and Four Seasons Hotel. Like a typical millennial, I'm a fan of their avocado toast. Forthright takes it up a notch and tops their creamy toast with crunchy pumpkin seeds, colorful watermelon radish, and two perfectly gooey poached eggs. The dressed salad is a nice side. Friendly and attentive service. Excellent A/C but also plenty of outdoor patio seating underneath beautiful trees.
Great little cafe right by a lot of hotels! We checked out this spot the first day of our trip and were pleasantly surprised by the extremely fast service, delish food, and yummy coffee. If I'm ever back in town, I would come back here! Their pop tart flavor changes depending on the day. I got the strawberry one when I was visiting (would recommend!)
Wow! First time coming here and food is delicious! Got the Matcha Latte and Forthright French Toast. The cup is huge and the latte is so warm and creamy. French toast is great! It has the right amount of berries and I devoured the whole plate. They have parking for up to an hour. Great place for breakfast/brunch. I definitely wanna come back again and try more!
