Walton's is a great bakery, florist, deli, lunch/brunch spot on west Sixth Street. It is part of the burgeoning Sandra Bullock eatery empire in Austin (Bess Bistro is another). I've found it to be quite a tasty addition.
The space is an old-style renovated shop replete with exposed brick walls and white wash. It has been decorated in a shabby chic meets a french bohemian way with little rickety wood and iron table and chairs. There are a ton of flowers, as its a florist, both decorating th
e shop and in the large refrigerated compartments. Generally the arrangements look great, if a little expensive. There are actually two dining rooms - the one in the front that contains the deli cases and espresso machines and a side one that you can access back by the floral shop section.
As the byline says - this place specializes in "Perishable, Cherishable, Fetishable". They have amazing baked goods here. I know folks who make pilgrimages for their blueberry muffins, and I personally like their scones (which are huge). In addition to breakfast items they have fantastic desserts ranging from sweet potato whoopie pies (tastes like a pumpkin muffin with cream cheese frosting) to delicate fruit tarts. I plan on ordering some of their cupcakes for my next birthday invite.
They also have a great sandwich and salad selection. They have prepared salads in their deli case covering the basics - potato salad, pasta salad, fruit salad, etc. They also have lovely composed salads - I recommend the local, it has fresh goat cheese, pecans, tomatoes, jalapenos and spring mix all dressed up in a pomegranate vinaigrette. Delectable! My husband, Stephen, always orders the SpicyBird, a lovely combination of grilled chicken with sun dried tomatoes, avocado, jalapenos and provolone on country white. They bake all of their bread in house and it is really good. (I hear they source the bread for some other local eateries...) All in all, for the level of quality that you get, the prices aren't that steep - the sandwiches max out at $8.50, the salads at $8.
I would recommend Walton's for your next light lunch or breakfast or the next time you have a sweet tooth that must be satisfied. Check it out! ☆☆☆
