A new all-day cafe, Citizens, will bring the “bold flavors” and casual vibe of an Australian-style cafe to Austin this spring.
“There’s something a little magical about Aussie cafe culture—it’s laid-back, vibrant and full of unexpected flavor,” co-owner Andrew Geisel said in a statement.
The setup
The new location on Burnet Road marks the brand’s first location in Austin and also showcases the company’s new all-day concept, which includes dinner service for the first time.
The breakfast and lunch menu feature all the “brekkie” essentials, including eggs, pancakes, biscuits and hash browns.
Drawing inspiration from the “lively gastropubs” of its Australian roots, the evening menu will offer produce-forward dishes. Highlights include vodka sauce chicken parmesan, classic fish and chips with Aussie-style chicken salt, short rib ragu pappardelle and house-made tiramisu.
Co-owner Justin Giuffrida said it’s a spot where guests can start their day with avocado toast and end it with an espresso martini under a disco ball.
