Excellent food, service and atmosphere. The location is ideal for Lakeway residents. It is my favorite restaurant!!
After the long wait, I was hyped for some EXCELLENT food based on all the previous reviews but I was really disappointed when the migas was only okay (pretty flavorless tbh) and my server was so busy I never had the opportunity to grab a second coffee and enjoy my meal and the cafe. I’ll try again and order something different and hope for a better all around experience.
Awesome service!! Super food !!
We love this place and come here at least once a week, sometimes more. The food is great whether you order breakfast or lunch. The creamy jalapeño soup is excellent and so are the chicken tortilla and creamy enchilada soups. All of their food is high quality and the owners and waitresses are friendly. It is often rather busy and sometimes the wait staff is overwhelmed so only come here if you are patient and not in a hurry. Most people who eat here are locals. This is a great neighborhood breakfast/lunch restaurant in Lakeway. It is always very homey and cozy.
Great food in a hometown atmosphere
Local hole in the wall with awesome food and friendly staff. My favorite place for breakfast.
Love the menu. Always fresh and pretty consistent in quality.
Nice local spot. Great breakfasts.
Mediocre breakfast restaurant with average food. No WiFi. And God help you if you want a custom coffee. Mostly retiree clientele. Lakeway desperately needs a new breakfast restaurant.
Delicious food and quick service, a rustic quality to the atmosphere. Will definitely return. Sooo good.
Been here 2 days in a row. Great service from Cici and Ally both days. Very good food and even better service.
Really great breakfast spot when the weather is nice. It's super close to our house so any time we can sneak it in we try to visit.
We love Cafe Lago. It's good everytime.
Amazing service and food! I was visiting Lakeway for work and Cafe Lago was just across the road from us. I am SO glad we found this little gem. The employees are so happy and kind and the food is delicious! I envy anyone who lives near this restaurant.
Just went by to order food to go because they were busy. Met with rudeness. When a place is under pressure, it is not the time to treat guests that have never been there before like trash. My husband said what he would like to eat eggs grits and sausage. We were told with frustration “Read the menu” . This lady had long black hair with her cap. She was a jerk and we left. Not going to tolerate that!
One of my all time favorites. It’s such a hidden little gem I almost don’t like giving away my secrets. Great breakfast and lunch- breakfast tacos, pastries, jalapeño Turkey melt, and their soups are just a few of my faves. Great coffee and daily lunch specials. Family owned and operated. Love love love cafe lago!
Really good omelettes! Great service, really good prices.nwould definitely go back!
Classic spot for great greasy spoon type food.
Looking for a new breakfast place, hoping to find a "regular" place, we came upon Café Lago. It's small and although they have an outdoor patio, this day was quite chilly and we wanted to dine inside... and so did everyone else. All the tables were full, but there was no one else waiting for a table at that time. There doesn't seem to be any sign up sheet/list, so stay near by and keep an eye out for people leaving their table. The staff are certainly busy but just seemed odd that no one would talk to you until you are at a table. We didn't wait long for our table and once seated, we were immediately greeted and our drink orders were taken. The staff are very friendly and personable. It was our first time so we were just looking over the menu and deciding between breakfast or lunch. So, we decided on one of each. I had the "Jake's Eggs" and my friend had a turkey sandwich. We also had a slice of the French Toast. And to drink I had the iced tea. For starters, the tea is freshly brewed. You really have to appreciate a place that will brew their tea instead of using instant. We didn't have to wait very long before the food came out. The plates were full and the food was fresh and hot. For starters, the French Toast is made from raisin Texas toast and it looks like something you would see on the menu. The pictures always look better than the food, but this looked amazing! And looks were deceiving; I realize French Toast can seem pretty basic, but you don't want to pass this up even if it's just to share a slice or two with someone. The Jake's Eggs is just scrambled eggs with a lot added in. It's probably really good if you are very hungry but not if you want something light. I had the hash browns and tortilla. It's a decent egg meal but not something I would order regularly. The sandwich was kind of plain. The turkey was fresh and came with corn chips. So, overall it's a nice place but not a place I would pick as a "regular". They are very nic
One of the best breakfast selections in Lakeway. Staff was great
