Josephine House

Cute spot for brunch in Clarksville. Ambiance - restaurant is one of those classic west austin house styles, super cute. We sat outside and despite it being a cold day we were toasty thanks to the heaters. Food - Got their breakfast croissant, tea and split a nutella pastry that was to die for! Our waiter was incredibly friendly and food came out quick. Would like to return to try their dinner menu in the future.

his brunch started beautifully until a torrential downpour came and sogged up our muffins and biscuits. We picked a bad day to sit outside... but their patio vibes were so cute we couldn't resist.I will definitely come back. The burrata & summer melon salad was BEAUTIFUL. It came with heirloom tomatoes, tomatillo vinaigrette, prosciutto, and fried sourdough croutons all surrounding a big ol burrata. MMM BURRATA. This dish was fresh and creamy. yumbo

We celebrated an anniversary here on a Monday in December for steak frites night. The wine is unlimited and you have a choice of a 3 course meal. I chose the soup and I had the chocolate cake. Everything we got was cooked to perfection. My husband is a potato snob and he adored the crispiness of the shoestring fries. I also enjoyed the server who did a good job making recommendations tailored to our liking. The restaurant itself is small so I would definitely make a reservation. Parking is limited as well.

- Vibes: cute/cozy brunch (it's a converted house)- Crowd: can get full at brunch, recommend a reservation- Menu: a bit limited choices- Value for price: 3/5 (expensive and nicely presented but small servings)- Service: 4/5 (a bit slow but friendly)- Parking: tiny lot, street parking My friend and I came for a late lunch around 1pm on a Saturday and were able to get an outdoor table right away. The vibes are adorable for a sweet date or family brunch, with several outdoor tables on the house's front lawn and a couple indoor tables (but it's pretty crowded). We tried some teas first. The Turkish delight was a bit disappointing, $6 and was pretty small/tasted like a standard iced tea. Don't recommend. My friend's chocolate crunch was just a chocolatey flavored hot tea, but it was delicious and around $6 as well. I'd recommend that one, you could share for two as it's in a tea pot. The Nutella roll was light, flaky and delicious but a bit pricey for the size.My friend's shrimp and grits was small (5 shrimp) but they were delicious, flavorful gulf shrimp. I had the steak and eggs, small steak but cooked perfectly and the side potatoes were crunchy and amazing. The harissa sauce was splendid. Overall, if you're willing to shell out for a good aesthetic I'd come here, but you may be prepared to leave a bit hungry since the serving sizes are so small :)

Some places in Austin just stand the test of time. At least from our perspective over the last few years. Clean, beautiful space, with a 5 star staff that works together to make dinner service seamless. Shared a few appetizers (it was hard to choose) so many great choices. I could not help myself and had appetizers for my entree as well. Hubby had the Steak and Frites. Yum. That is all.

I took my best friend to Josephine House for her birthday, and we had such a wonderful time! It was our first time visiting, and we left with nothing but good things to say. The house itself is absolutely stunning--quaint, charming, and intimate. It's a small space, so reservations are a must, especially if you want to ensure a perfect spot.Parking is very tiny, so you'll have to secure a spot on the street. We got seated near the window so we had a great spot for photo ops and people watching while we had our drinks! Our server went above and beyond, making sure my bestie had a memorable birthday. Their kindness and attentiveness really elevated our experience. For brunch, I chose the huevos rancheros, and my friend went with the steak and eggs. Her dish was spot on--the steak cooked to perfection and paired beautifully with the eggs. My huevos rancheros were flavorful, but I did find them a little tricky to eat because of how everything was layered on the tostada.While the experience was lovely, I couldn't help but feel the price point didn't quite match the meal. The portions were fairly small, and for $24, the flavors weren't memorable enough to justify the cost--I didn't even finish my plate. I wish they had somewhat of a traditional breakfast option. The menu is undeniably creative but feels a bit scattered, lacking a clear theme to tie the dishes together. It's hard to tell if the restaurant wants to focus on brunch classics with a modern twist or showcase globally-inspired dishes, as items like Greek yogurt and granola, shrimp and grits, and nuoc mam chicken salad feel like they belong in entirely different concepts. Additionally, the pricing seems inconsistent--some dishes, like a $14 soup or $28 burger, feel steep for the portions and presentation, making it unclear whether this is meant to be casual dining or a high-end experience.I'd suggest the restaurant refine the menu by focusing on a cohesive culinary identity, maybe highlighting a signature style or regional influence. They could also offer distinct sections or categories to help customers better navigate the variety, like a "brunch classics" and "chef's innovations" approach. This would enhance the overall dining experience and make the concept feel more intentional and balanced.Overall, Josephine House delivers on atmosphere and service, but I'd love to see the food live up to its premium pricing to make it a full 5-star spot.

I had brunch and it was delicious. The price is worth the fresh food and creative flavors. They have a patio that's relaxing on a nice warm day. They're very friendly and answer all questions. I highly recommend Josephine House.

Such a cute place! The lemon ricotta pancakes are amazing. One of my fav places to get a chai latte as well. I got the croissant sandwich which was tasty as well. I've only sat the bar area & the staff are super friendly. Would definitely add this place to your list.

Came for weekend brunch and be sure to make a reservation as it will be busy. It's very cute inside and service was very friendly. They don't have any dietary restriction indicators on the menu, but they told me the rice bowl is vegan without the egg. It would be really nice to indicate this on the menu. The rice bowl was tasty but very overpriced at $24. I brought a croissant home for my husband and he did really enjoy it. I don't think I'd rush back but it is a cute spot for brunch!
