TastyPals Editorial Pick
PS
Priya Sharma
Dining Editor
“Monument Cafe is the kind of Austin restaurant that earns its regulars by never giving them a reason to stop coming. The cafe here reflects its community. Arrive early on weekends or expect a short wait — worth it. Walk-ins are generally fine, though weekend brunch lines move quickly.”
