We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But did you also know it happens to be one of the most delicious meals of the day as well?

Breakfast establishments are "in" right now, and being that Austin is a hub for all things "in," it's to no one's surprise that the city is packed with places to get your fix of eggs and pancakes.

There are so many restaurants in Austin to choose from, so we've saved you some homework and compiled a list of the best breakfast spots in Austin that will surely satisfy anyone with a hankering for hash browns, craving some coffee, or fancying some french toast. 

Magnolia Cafe South

First opened in 1979, Magnolia cafe proved to be a fun restaurant with a zany staff, a combo that could only work in a city such as Austin. While Magnolia is known for their breakfast, they also serve up some of the best burgers and queso in Austin. The best part about Magnolia is the fact that they're open 24 hours a day, 8 days a week (no, that wasn't a typo).

Snooze

Started by two brothers in Colorado in 2006, Snooze has quickly become an Austinite favorite once the Austin location was opened. Snooze's menu consists of many breakfast fan favorites but with a unique culinary twist.

Don't hit "snooze" and head over to Snooze for a breakfast that tastes great and serves a great cause.
