ROUND ROCK. Regionally famous, this bakery/doughnut shop's bright yellow doughnuts are known to produce sighs of bliss from adoring fans. Through changes in ownership and other travails, the doughnuts have endured, drawing crowds from open to close every day.

GEORGETOWN. Monument Café may be a 30 minute drive north of town, but if you crave a hearty breakfast, it's more than worth the travel time. At first glance the menu appears to be populated with nothing but standards. That's true, but the freshness of the ingredients, the generous portions, and the kitchen's expertise elevate the Monument well above average. You can order anything with confidence, from chicken-fried steak to migas to waffles. At other times of the day you'll find great meat-and-three meals with options that include fried chicken, Texas chili, salads, and homemade pies.

Mother's Cafe & Garden

Avg. Entrée: $$1 - $15
Reservations: Available
Dress: CC: Casual
Outdoor Dining: None

NORTH AUSTIN. Having reopened in October 2007 following a devastating fire, Mother's is getting back on its feet again, although without the charming enclosed garden room (new plans are in the works!). Even so, the food remains top-quality, much of it organic and all of it vegetarian or vegan. The most popular dishes are mushroom stroganoff, spinach lasagna, and fully-loaded bueno burgers. As you might expect, salads are excellent – the house cashew-tamari dressing knocks them into the stratosphere. The menu also includes sandwiches, pastas, and several Tex-Mex options. There are even vegan desserts!

NORTH AUSTIN. A beacon in the night, Mrs. Johnson's has been providing Austin night owls and early risers with hot fresh doughnuts for over 50 years. Plain glazed rings are the top sellers, but you'll also find several filled varieties, cake doughnuts, apple fritters, cinnamon rolls, and kolaches (rolls stuffed with sausage or cheese). Plus, there's always plenty of hot coffee. Hot doughnuts roll off the conveyors at 9pm, 10pm, 2am, 3am, and 5am, so time your visits accordingly.

NORTH AUSTIN. Without doubt Austin's best 24-hour eats. Star Seeds is quirky and cheerful, with a bevy of regulars who have been loyal since the place opened in the mid-1980s, but one visit is usually all it takes for newbies to become die-hard fans. You can get breakfast any time, and it's awesome: steak and eggs, migas, breakfast burritos and tacos, biscuits and gravy, pancakes, omelettes, and the "A Baum" (English muffin topped with sausage, scrambled eggs and queso). Sandwiches, burgers and a handful of comfort food classics round out the menu.

Starlite

407 Colorado St, Austin, TX 78701 · 512-374-9012

Avg. Entrée: $$$16 - $30
Reservations: Required
Dress: BCBC: Business Casual
Outdoor Dining: None

WAREHOUSE DISTRICT. Starlite's lounge-y ambience manages to be simultaneously retro and modern, a fashionable mix of design styles that perfectly sets the stage for the contemporary American cuisine the restaurant has become known for. Sunday brunch is the ideal time to get acquainted with what Starlite has to offer: try a traditional American breakfast of eggs and sausage or steak, or go global with the Bangkok breakfast of Thai crab cakes, rice, Asian herb salad and a poached egg. Starlite's perfect brunch cocktails include mimosas, wasabi or dirty bloody marys, mojitos and bellinis. If you visit for dinner, the fried green tomato salad is stellar; tupelo honey barbecued quail and pan roasted duck breast with rhubarb and pomegranate glaze are unique and wonderful.
