What people say, in short
Many people recommend Counter Cafe, mostly as a brunch or pancake pick. It is recommended across its two Austin outlets, East 6th Street and near campus; the one near campus is the address listed, and two commenters answering a near-campus request mean it. Two diners back the strawberry pancakes with whipped cream, and two others single out the crab Benedict. One diner calls it really nice but small.
