The rolling hills of West Austin and parts beyond are home to many scenic overlooks and rocky crags. The topography is one of the main reasons residents choose to dwell there. The land is primarily devoted to green space and homes, but there are still plenty of places to have a great meal in the morning. Here are 10 west Austin breakfast places worth a drive into the hills.

10. Bruegger’s Bagels

Can you have an authentic New York bagel a time zone away from NYC? Certainly! Head to Bruegger’s Bagels to test their bagel making prowess for yourself. Slather ‘em with cream cheese, or use them to hold together your breakfast sandwich. Either way, enjoy ‘em!
