Joann’s is attached to the iconic Austin Motel serving up Tex-Mex influenced dishes! This location was previously known as “Snackbar” - the motel’s longtime restaurant! In 2018, the space was turned into what it is today - a chic Austin diner with brunch favorites, healthy options, cocktails, outdoor seating and downtown energy!

THE MENU

Classic American diner meets California forward fares meets Tex-Mex favorites! The menu encompasses each of these beautifully with dishes like French toast soaked in vanilla bean and topped with fresh-diced mango and berries. Other breakfast staples like pancakes, egg, hash browns, bacon and sausage! As well as, huevos rancheros, pozole and, of course, breakfast tacos. 

For lunch or dinner, dive into their salads, soaps or sandwiches (patty melt or turkey club). You can’t go wrong with the fajitas, taco plates, or enchiladas! Be sure to start with the signature hash brown nachos or something fresh like the gulf red snapper ceviche! For drinks, there’s a rotating selection of fresh-squeezed juices, coffee and a full bar, including an impressive collection of mezcals and tequilas.
 

THE SPACE

The countertops, teal stools and booths, textiles, and wooden accents scream 70s and we just love it! Outside things are a bit more airy and light representing the West Coast side of things! The vintage feel ties in perfectly with the motel and the iconic red branding ties it all together. Enjoy a cozy meal inside or take things up a notch outside surrounded by the hustle and bustle of SoCo! 

If you haven’t been to Joann’s yet, it’s a must on your Austin tour-de-cafe! Sunny days are ahead and this is the spot to be!
