Worth the trip
Golden Hour Cafe & Wine Bar brings all-day drinks and dining to South Austin

Golden Hour Cafe & Wine Bar serves patrons at two key hours of the day: the golden hours. Early morning visitors can stop in for fresh tea or coffee and a breakfast burrito. At 6 p.m., laptops disappear and natural wines are poured by the glass or presented by the bottle with marinated olives or a housemade focaccia slice. 

The background: For owner Barclay Stratton, the goal is to bring customers the highest-caliber ingredients for three meals a day at an everyday price point.

What’s on the menu: Golden Hour offers breakfast classics like homemade yogurt and granola, avocado toast, biscuits and its famous breakfast burrito, made with potato, egg, cheese, chipotle and green onions. 

Learn more: The lunch menu features a Paris ham melt and a chicken Caesar wrap before the kitchen closes to prepare for evening bites. After 3 p.m., the cafe and wine bar serve focaccia by the slice with cheese, crackers and hojicha tea basque cheesecake for dessert.
