Bunnies, egg hunts + buffets: Where to eat Easter brunch in Austin

Make your Easter Sunday egg-stra special with these local brunch specials and kid-approved activities.

A vibrant brunch spread is set on a sunlit outdoor table, featuring a fresh salad with greens, beets, and grilled cheese, alongside a plate of mini waffles drizzled with caramel sauce and topped with whipped cream. Two hands hold cocktails garnished with dried citrus slices — one in a short glass with a pale yellow drink and the other in a stemmed glass with an orange-hued beverage. A green glass bottle and a matching cup add to the table’s aesthetic, while a cushioned bench with textured fabric provides a cozy background.
