The Steeping Room
When I’m looking for a light lunch during the week, The Steeping Room’s soup and tea sandwich combo for $7.75 is my go-to! Their Take the B.A.T.E. for Sunday brunch is my favorite too – bacon, arugula, tomato and an over easy egg with basil mayo served open-faced on ciabatta with your choice of fruit or salad.

FoodHeads
FoodHeads has easily become one of my favorite lunch spots. Handcrafted sandwiches & hearty soups like butternut squash with sage and chicken tortilla (my fave).
What to Order: Half sandwich and cup of soup is only $9 during lunchtime. Get the hot pastrami and the daily soup.
Pro Tip: Ask for reduced blackberry balsamic vinaigrette or on-the-side on the veggie sandwiches. It’s way too greasy.

Easy Tiger
I couldn’t do a sandwich round up without including the ultimate bake shop in Austin that supplies the best bread to all the restaurants. Everything at Easy Tiger is really good, but I was surprised by how amazing their turkey sandwich is!
What To Order: The easy lunch is only $9 Monday through Friday – half turkey sandwich with potato salad, and drip coffee.
