Counter Cafe runs two Austin locations, one on West 29th Street and one on East 6th Street, both keeping the same familiar diner setting. The kitchen leans on fresh, local, and organic ingredients to put a gourmet twist on down-home diner staples.
The poached eggs, the burger, and rotating soups are the standouts, and the coffee service is reliably good. Regulars describe a cozy, unpretentious atmosphere backed by warm, friendly staff and consistent quality.
Counter Cafe holds a spot on the Eater 38, a marker of its standing among Austin's diners.
