What’s on the menu
The mom-and-pop restaurant’s breakfast menu features classic dishes like omelets and skillets, some of which have a Greek twist. Nick’s Greek Skillet is made with gyro meat, grilled onions and peppers, eggs, hash browns and feta cheese.
The business is known for its stuffed french toast featuring cream cheese and strawberries. Diners can enjoy their breakfast alongside a variety of espresso and coffee drinks.
For lunch, the restaurant offers burgers, deli sandwiches, pita sandwiches and wraps. All entrees and sauces are made from scratch by a team of chefs, including owner Nick Arapi.
The background
Nick’s Breakfast & Coffee is one of several restaurant concepts Arapi has launched across the country over his 35-year career. Upon moving to Texas, the restaurant owner and chef said he felt there was a need for more breakfast offerings in the Leander area.
The restaurant has been well received by community members, seeing an almost 50% increase in business since opening in June, Arapi said. The restaurant has garnered many regulars who visit multiple times a week, he said.
“The clientele is very respectful,” Arapi said. “I love my clientele.”
Arapi said he wants Nick’s Breakfast and Coffee to be an approachable environment where diners can feel comfortable and like family.
Stay turned
Looking ahead, Arapi said he wants to open a second Nick’s Breakfast & Coffee location in Liberty Hill by 2026.
