Kerbey Lane Cafe

We first opened our doors to the Austin community on May 5, 1980, serving made-from-scratch comfort food out of a small 1930's bungalow in Central Austin.

Fresh, Local Flavors from Our Family to Yours
Something Special for Every Appetite
Locally-Owned & Operated Since 1980
All-Day Dining from Breakfast Through Dinner & Beyond

Celebrating 45 Years of Serving the Best People on Earth! For the first few months of business, the original location operated as a restaurant and housed a cozy apartment for our founders, David and Patricia. The beloved original location still stands and thrives today as an Austin landmark. Kerbey Lane Cafe remains 100% family-owned to this day and we continue to stay true to our original values of serving delicious meals that are thoughtfully-sourced, scratch-made, and affordable while welcoming all who come through our doors.
