Oh, and in case you were wondering, Dripping Springs brunch isn’t just reserved for Sundays; these special restaurants offer Saturday brunches as well!
Crepe Crazy, 3103 S Lamar Boulevard in Austin
When you sit back and really think about it, crepes are actually the perfect food. Filled with your favorite ingredients, they can be sweet (think about that Nutella and banana crepe you ate on the streets of Paris), they can be savory (add some chicken, mushrooms, and cheese and you have a French version of a burrito), or they can be both pleasing all your taste buds with a mixture of granny smith apples, brie, honey, and walnuts! Crepe Crazy may not have a specific brunch menu, but their menu filled with everything crepe lends itself to brunch-like occasions, and you don’t have to wait until the weekend to enjoy your favorite meal for brunch in Dripping Springs!

Tillies, 3509 Creek Road in Dripping Springs
Our choices for the number two and number one spots were actually the most difficult spaces to fill, not because there weren’t enough good options but because there were too many incredible ones!

Tillies’ brunches are held on Saturday and Sundays from 10 AM until 2 PM and offer menus filled with incredible dishes that will make you fall in love.

We were just as surprised as you to discover that such a thing existed but the combination of Dripping Springs gin, Triple Sec, and orange marmalade soon convinced us that breakfast martinis are a beverage we could get definitely get used to!
