Best Brunch Spots in Round Rock (From Someone Who's Tried Them All)
If you’re anything like me, brunch isn’t just a meal—it’s a full-on experience. It’s where friendships are deepened over mimosas, where new ideas are born between bites of French toast, and where weekends feel just a little more special.
Luckily, Round Rock has stepped up its brunch game in a big way. Whether you’re looking for cozy comfort food, a chic spot to impress out-of-towners, or just a good ol’ pancake stack with your crew, we’ve got options. And yes, I’ve personally scoped out quite a few (all in the name of research, of course).
Here are my top picks for the best brunch spots in Round Rock—plus a few tips for making the most of your weekend feast.
Vibe: Casual, lively, and dog-friendly (because brunch is better with your pup).
Why I love it: The chicken & waffles are a local favorite, and they offer $2 mimosas that’ll have you ordering a second round. Their patio is perfect for soaking up sunshine on a lazy Sunday.
Vibe: Stylish yet relaxed, with indoor and outdoor seating and live music on weekends.
What to order: Banana bread, French toast, or avocado toast with a craft cocktail on the side. It’s one of my go-to spots when I want a brunch that feels elevated but still approachable.
Vibe: Boutique hotel meets tranquil escape, complete with creekside views.
Why it stands out: This place makes you feel like you're on vacation, even if you’re five minutes from home. Their power bowls, breakfast tacos, and signature drinks are perfect for a “treat yourself” kind of morning.
Vibe: Cozy, charming, and brand new to the Round Rock brunch scene.
Why it’s worth trying: Their made-from-scratch comfort food hits all the right notes—think fluffy biscuits, fresh omelets, and the kind of service that makes you feel right at home.
Vibe: Texas-style comfort with a loyal local following.
What to expect: This place is a classic for a reason. Barbacoa Eggs Benedict, huevos rancheros, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere make it a strong weekend contender. Brunch here feels like a hug.
Vibe: Rustic meets refined, with a Southern twist.
Don’t miss: Their Farmhouse Benedict and, of course, the namesake whiskey cake. Yes—dessert for brunch is 100% acceptable here (and encouraged).
Vibe: Laid-back and kid-friendly, with something for everyone.
Why I recommend it: Their pancakes are legendary, and the menu includes gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options. A great place for families or a no-fuss brunch catch-up with friends.
Cork & Barrel Craft Kitchen & Microbrewery
Vibe: A cool gastropub with Irish-inspired flair.
Why it’s different: Brunch here is hearty, bold, and flavorful. Think breakfast pizza, corned beef hash, and local craft brews to wash it all down.
Bonus Stop: Round Rock Donuts
Not technically brunch, but how could I not include this icon? Their famous glazed donuts are perfect for a grab-and-go sweet treat after a savory brunch—or, honestly, all on their own.
