“I had the jalapeno cheddar sausage and the spinach feta. These were one of the most delicious things I've had in Austin. They were packed full and very good size for the price. Warm and fresh ingredients flavorful dough. Fast and friendly service. Highly recommend!“
“Between Antonelli's for cheese and this place for gelatto and small sweets (macroons, baklava, stroopwaffle), Duval's 43-45 corridor is a powerhouse of small-scale, high-quality business. The gelato here is comparable or better than the other-best-ice-cream I've had (Bent Spoon @Princeton, NJ), and certainly does the Europe proud. I'm told the proprietor studied gelato in school and it shows.“
“I've been eating pastries, ice cream from this place since they are in downtown. Moving to New location made it even better and I love everything they sell. Definite 5 star experience everytime.Kid-friendliness: There is plenty of open space for kids to play and some kid friendly items like slide.Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible from parking to order and tables.“
“What a gem! The absolute best bahn mi in Austin! Plus they have espresso/coffee drinks now! And they give you a free cup of soup while you wait. Their new renovations also improved the atmosphere in a big way.The owner makes her own bread everyday, in addition to the entire pastry case (don’t leave without a dessert)!!I love going here for business meetings or when I’m meeting up with friends for lunch. Nobody I’ve taken here ever goes there and leaves unimpressed.I love the pork belly bahn mi & her sesame sweet bread. The owner always recognizes me when I come in & memorized my order. :)“
“Cupcakes are amazing! We are having cupprimo cater cupcakes for our wedding! Very friendly environment and the owners are awesome! The coffee is good, and the little quiches they have on the mornings put the cherry on top. We come here at least every weekend, if not every other weekend.“
“Fantastic coffee, sweetest baristas, the food and vibes are immaculate. Love the vinyl DJs there everyday and the back garden space is so cute. I learned that they do so much to work with and support local musicians and music non profits. It’s the cutest little treat shop in Austin with a lot of heart cause they sure do TRY HARD! ☕️✨☕️Are the prices a bit steep? Sure, but it’s reflective of a business trying to make a difficult change in an industry that’s been operating on not paying folks what they are worth for a very long time. Will for sure be coming back here! ???“
“I have always cherished the authentic culinary delights from Phoenicia Bakery & Deli. Among these, the homemade kibbeh has always held a special place in my heart. Its perfect blend of finely ground meat, bulgur, and spices, all lovingly hand-shaped and cooked to perfection, offered not just a meal but an experience that spoke of tradition and quality. Recently, I've noticed the shift to offering frozen kibbeh, and while it serves as a decent substitute, it doesn't quite capture the essence of the fresh version. The frozen kibbeh, though convenient and satisfactory in moments of craving, lacks the freshness, the distinct textures, and the warmth of homemade kibbeh that I've come to love and expect. I understand the challenges and pressures that might lead to such a decision, but I can't help but express how much the homemade kibbeh is missed. It was more than just food; it was a testament to the care, authenticity, and culinary excellence that Phoenicia Bakery & Deli represents. I kindly urge you to consider bringing back the homemade kibbeh. Its return would not only delight many of your patrons but also reaffirm Phoenicia Bakery & Deli's dedication to providing genuine, high-quality cuisine that connects us to culture and tradition in every bite. Thank you for taking the time to consider this request, and I eagerly await the day I can once again savor the unparalleled taste of your homemade kibbeh.“
“1883 Cafe and Bakery offers an unforgettable dining experience with its delectable dishes and cozy ambiance. The migas are a savory delight, while the avocado toast is a modern classic elevated to perfection. Don't miss out on their indulgent dirty chai lattes, a warm hug in a cup. With impeccable service and attention to detail, 1883 Cafe and Bakery sets the standard for excellence.“
“Sweet Charli Girl’s baked goodies are everything!!! When it comes to gluten-free desserts and treats, these are the best, without a doubt! I highly recommend for those who have Celiac disease. Sweet Charli Girl gave my husband (who has Celiac) the ability to enjoy baked goodies again! Thank you to the Sweet Charli Girl crew!“
“I love uppercrust, but ever since they changed the bearclaw recipe, I've been disappointed... it was better before. It was tender and bready and chewy and had a good amount of filling. I think they changed it to the croissant dough, and I love a croissant, but it doesn't work with the bearclaw for me! They had a special and unique thing there that nowhere else had, and now it's always dry, kind of tough, and sometimes the filling is just a log of cream cheese and somehow a log of intact (not melted) chocolate. At this point I'd rather go somewhere else than face the disappointment of my favorite pastry in austin being gone. I've given it so many chances since the recipe change and it's just not what I want! I loved it before!!! Change it back pleeeeaaaasseeeeeee.They have a lot of other great stuff though... their coconut cream pie has a layer of chocolate between the crust and the filling and the whole thing is delicious.“
“Great neighborhood spot for pastries, breakfast, and tacos. The food had that homemade vibe, and the prices were just right. Our table salsa had a pleasant spice and the guacamole was fresh and simple, which is my favorite. The tacos were on homemade fresh flour tortillas which is hard to find in Austin for some reason. Perfect for a casual breakfast or lunch with friends and family.“
“Lovely little corner coffee and bakery shop. Staff was so kind and exuded warmth in such a genuine way. ✨️ The atmosphere is bright and cheery yet cozy with magazines, soduku book, fresh flowers and good music. The bakery goods were all so appetizing to look at it made it difficult to choose what to get. I ordered an Americano with suger free vanilla and a splash of 2% and oh my goodness! The flavor of the coffee was so rich, yet creamy with a hint of bitterness but in the best way. The kind of coffee you sip and enjoy all morning - strong, flavorful and absolutely amazing. I can't wait to return and try the Turkish coffee and to continue supporting this lovely local business.“
“I'm extremely picky about my desserts, having started my career in baking, and especially when it comes to cheesecakes. I'll rarely attempt to order one off a menu at this point, given how many poor examples I've had throughout the years. The Celia Jacobs Cheesecake Experience, however, gives me hope. Why is no one talking about this little trailer camped out at the Thicket Food Park? I had never heard of it before and wouldn't have thought there was a single option, but lo and behold, they offer over 15 different flavors that are 100% plant-based! What's even more mind-blowing is how FANTASTIC they are. I tried the tuxedo (AKA chocolate and vanilla swirl) which far exceeded all expectations. It's creamy and rich, dense but not cloying, sweet but not sugary, served chilled for a refreshing grand finale on a warm spring evening. Flavors vary and now I just want to stop in everyday to try all of them.“
“My fiancé and I came here after dinner because I really wanted a cinnamon roll. After googling 'best cinnamon rolls in Austin,' this place came up, and I am so glad it did. I got the regular plain cinnamon roll with no toppings on it, and it was absolutely amazing. The staff was so friendly to us, and educated us about how all of cinnamon rolls that were being sold there were 100% vegan. It was delicious, and even though it was vegan, I couldn't even taste the difference. I will absolutely be returning here.“
“I finally found a bakery in Austin that has the perfectly crafted, out of this world cakes and pastries. It’s quite a drive from my house but I will even walk to this place for the deliciousnesses. My son’s new favorite and mine too…Plus their cakes feel so light on body and soul…Thanks to the one who bakes these beauties.“
“I got the smallest size red velvet cake for my mom's bday and 10/10! The cakes are moist and not overly sweet and the cream cheese icing is amazing! Everyone at the restaurant we shared the cake with all loved it. We also had delivery and it went off without a hitch- would definitely order from Susie's for our next special occasion!“
“I had heard about this and read about it and had a wonderful meeting here unfortunately did not order any of the croissants that they’re famous for but somebody I was with at a delicious chocolate chip flaky type of donut and I tasted. It was very yummy.“
“Everything is fantastic, but the Rosemary chocolate chip cookies are TO DIE FOR!!Dietary restrictions: The whole thing is both gluten free and vegan. There must be witchcraft involved, because I have never had a softer, more velvety cupcake with frosting that is like a cloud pillow and the flavors are simply perfect!“
“I recently spent 5 days on a girls trip to Austin, a city I had previously only visited once, like 7 years ago. Since that trip, I have viewed Texas with a nearly singular goal of revolution--uh, I mean, trying Texas-style kolaches. So imagine my glee when a kolache and beer establishment presented itself as an option?! We tried to go one afternoon, but kolaches were in seriously limited supply, so we returned the next morning. I had a little bit of the ol' vacation gut, and it was relatively early, so I didn't partake of any beer, but their selection, which featured a variety of Czech style beers, looked really good. If I go back, will definitely try one or three of them. What I did have and enjoy, however, was a delightful oat milk latte as well as some kolaches. Got a veggie sausage & gouda, four cheese (which was split), and a strawberry & cheese, which most resembles the kolaches you find in the Czech Republic. My companions got a jalapeño cheese and a couple of meat options, which I did not try. But lemme tell you: that shit was good! Airy yet indulgent, substantial but not overwhelmingly so. Very good. Service was prompt and friendly, the spot is very cute, and they have great souvenirs to take home and prove to your friends that you had what is, perhaps, one of the best kolache experiences in Texas*. (* As previously stated, I have been to Texas exactly two times, both trips to Austin, so the veracity of this last statement should be taken with a significant chunk of salt.)“
“I ordered a custom birthday cake for my daughter’s 4th birthday and it was incredibly delicious and beautiful! The vanilla filling was so good! Stephanie responded to my emails super quick and provided great feedback about the cake’s size, flavor and decorations. Highly recommend Violette’s Bakehouse.“
“85 degrees has the best taro bun! Their pastries are delicious; however, not being much of a cake lover - My partner surprised me with a variety of sliced cakes which was perfect for me. The tiramisu was fresh, very bold, and would go very well with coffee. The mango cheesecake was refreshing, but not so much my preference and as for the strawberry layered crème, absolutely delicious.What a surprise!85 degrees never disappoints. Every time I am in Austin, this is always a place on my list to drop by before making the drive back home. I can’t wait for your opening in San Antonio!“
“I lived in Paraguay for a number of years and this brought me right back to those days! The empanadas were beautifully made and the chipa! Seriously, the chipa was excellent. If you haven’t tried it then you are missing out! I loved the mate cocido and just how everything here is made with love! The owner is such a hard worker and she really cares about her customers and shop. I came in here with my little girl and the owner was so sweet to her. Support this local business and I promise you won’t be disappointed!“
“Crumbl Cookies are absolutely delicious! Each bite is a perfect balance of chewiness and flavor, and the variety of classic and inventive flavors never fails to satisfy. If you're in search of the perfect sweet indulgence, Crumbl is a must-visit!“
“Ms. Shelly, saw me twice.Number one almost falling coming into her shop and second time getting a four pack of cookies and the SUPER CUTE shirts.You are absolutely the most wonderful soul I’ve met out here!! You are truly amazing down to the service! The cookies are so delicious and they are so beautiful!!!!The raspberry Cheesecake cookie is literally to die for ????Thank you so much!!!!!!!“
“I wish Wolf and Wheat were open more days!!!You NEED to get the buckwheat brownie. I have never had a brownie that good in my entire life. Buckwheat gives it such a pleasant texture. It’s rich; I would be satisfied with half a brownie.The butter brioche cookie was another winner. Hard not to just eat it in two bites.They also have a third cookie that rotates. It was a strawberry chocolate when we stopped by. There’s also ice cream and an option for an ice cream sandwich.Small but mighty menu!“
“Moonlight Bakery is one of Austin's original spots with super delicious baked goods, lady who works behind the counter is super nice as well. This place isn't on the lists of "TOP BAKERIES" in Austin but its a no frills bakery with absolutely killer croissants and kolaches. Been coming here for years when I allow my self a little treat and I always get the chocolate croissant, butter croissant, raisin snail and sausage kolache.“
“The place looks very clean with a plain and simple decor. It got busy after I arrived in the later morning; the staff was friendly and they handled the customer volume very well. The restroom was out of order, so when I needed it, I was S.O.L. (pun intended). I came only for a donut; I bought one and a coffee. The donut was fair, but nothing to write home about. The coffee was not good. They have a few standard bench tables where you can sit down to eat. They also sell some hot foods like kolaches. There are also two large drink coolers with a fairly large selection of beverages, including milk.“
“Absolutely delicious “Burridoughs” and scones! We ate breakfast here twice on our vacation and it was incredible both times. We also got a cookie and it was also very good! One member of our group doesn’t eat red meat and they had an avocado and egg burridough option that he loved! No indoor seating but a couple tables outside, or it’s a great place to grab some food to go. I highly recommend stopping here!“
“I placed an order via text and walked an easy 5 minutes from my office on 6th to Nate’s. The ordering process through text was very easy! I ordered the super brown bag special. This included a Club Sandwhich, Miss Vickie's Chips, Cucumbers Salad, and a Cookie. The Sandwich was so delicious—chicken wasn't dry and the wheat bread was the perfect texture of crunchy + soft. Everything was yummy, but their cucumbers salad was my favorite!Update: Yes, you may post my review on social media + other promotions!Parking: street parkingKid-friendliness: bench tables outside in the patio area“
“We were so happy with Michelle's Patisserie for our wedding cake!!! We are foodies so the cake was really important to us. We tried about 6 different cake shops and Michelle's cake tasted the best BY FAR. Plus, we found it to be a huge bonus that her cake was even priced lower than a lot of the competitors that didn't taste as good. They were very friendly and easy to work with and the cakes looked beautiful! We had so many people come up to us at the wedding and say they ate multiple slices because it was so delicious.“
“Modern yet cozy atmosphere, fantastic drinks top to bottom (kudos to americano and golden milk), and a great selection of food for a coffee shop. Bonus: super thoughtful beer and wine list, and an unusually robust selection of non-alcoholic drinks. This place + Lamar pedestrian bridge + downtown library = chill afternoon“

“I was craving mochi donuts so bad!! Tomas suggested this place so I immediately checked them out. Small local business is a plus! They are currently doing a pop up at Dia's Market on Friday and Saturday. You have the option of pre-ordering your order for pick up. Be sure to check their social media or website to find their location. I ordered the following six flavors to try: strawberry shine, mangonada, ube rainbow, vanilla with crunchy chili oil, birthday cake and classic chocolate. They were soft with a chewy texture...perfect. Flavored beautifully. She provided me the instructions for warming them up for the next day. They were still good the next day. Very fresh and made with quality ingredients. They were all good, but if I had to choose one flavor I really enjoyed the mangonada. Yum! This was definitely a good spot for mochi donuts. Check them out.“
“We had been seeing advertisements for this place so we stopped for a quick late breakfast (10am) but they were sold out of most hot and savory items.We purchased what was available and we wanted to sit and eat but seating was very meager so we ate in the car.We also ordered king cake - kind of pricey - but well made.“
“Best chocolate chip cookies (when warm) in Austin, and really, most anywhere. we have bought the cookie dough twice, most recently earlier today. Very easy to follow instructions and they come out perfect. It is important to let them sit a bit where they will be overly soft. Bought this fudge like cookie/brownie that's also phenomenal (and very dense, in a good way). This place has a variety of cookies, and I believe they also have some hot and cold drinks, but have not tried those yet.Friendly folks at the counter. Inexpensive would not be a word to describe this place, but the cookies are so good, my comment would be "oh well, deliciousness comes at a price sometimes."“
“Brentwood is so cool to host a Community Fridge there outside. Mutual Aid. Give Food. Take Food. Help your community. AwesomeAnd Brentwood is a fantastic coffeehouse with delicious treats and beverages- i did a iced hibiscus with vanilla and it’s amazing!Dietary restrictions: I don’t remember but the treats were specialized. Like keto cookie. Or gluten free bread. I’m not sure what we got but it was delicious.Parking: There is a spot for quick pickup or delivery and depending when you go there is a lot of parking with some difficulty in getting out.“
“Considering driving 200 miles just to visit this place again!Excellent service, smooth & comforting coffee, tasty & filling breakfast tacos and delicious danishes that have the perfect amount of sweetness…..all with an excellent view and atmosphere!“
“We came in trying to cut thru the parking lot and deceided to stop in. It was our first time even though we lived in this neighborhood about 12 years ago. When you walk in it smells like bread. They bake everything everyday and when they are out of something it is out. My daughter wanted to try the morning bread but apparently we took too long and it was snatched up. I ended up getting the Spinach Feta Danish which was good. It was the perfect blend of spinach and danish. I didn't think it would mesh but it did. I also got the Caramel Apple Pie which I eat later. My daughter got the Foliage Sausage Bread which she loved. It was soft enough that it didn't mess with her braces and she said it felt she was in another country. She also got the Vanilla Cream Doughnut which she had immediately after the sausage bread and she loved it. I tried it and it was better than any doughnut I have had. I also got the Honey Lavender Matcha Latte and I will say I have tried matcha at a couple places trying to figure it out. I think I found the one I like. It does pick up bc as soon as we got ours the place started picking up. They have tons of seating inside and outside. They offer free wifi but I had no need for it. They have signs advising to that since it is so fresh to eat same day or within a day. I can honestly say that this would be a hike from S Austin that I am willing to take. We will definitely be back so my daughter can get that morning bread and so I can try more.“
“Quackenbush' Valentines rubber duckies are on display! is in the air! We're here every Saturday for our crochet meet up and we enjoy the hot drinks and yummy pastries! I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for savory pastry options! Maybe one of these daysStaff is always friendly and attentive! I like coming here to check out their seasonal display and pastries“
“We were looking for a good coffee place to go to after a late night. This was exactly what we were looking for. The kolache hit the spot, the donuts were amazing and the cold brew was delicious. Not to mention the people were in good spirits and very kind. We will be going there again ?Parking: We went at about 1230pm on a Monday so it may be more busy at other times“
“Tried for the first time recently, I got a chicken shawarma wrap at the deli counter and it was so so good! Very fresh, light, and tasty. Place is clean and shelves are full of interesting middle eastern/mediterranean imported goods. I will be back soon!“
“The atmosphere is cool. I notice its a neighborhood meeting place for people. Tons of conversations heard and there is a guy singing and playing acoustic guitar. Its cute shop and Danish I had was good. Tons of gluten-free options. The latte I had was good and prices were reasonable.“
“I ordered a salted caramel cheesecake for my family and I to enjoy for Thanksgiving. This was truly one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had! The consistency was thick, it was rich and moist, and it tasted strongly of caramel while not being overpowering. I highly recommend you order a cheesecake from Tyler!“
“I went in looking for Asain pastries and the wonderful woman asked if I liked Banh Mi. " Of course, I do!" it was the simplest but most delicious sandwich I have ever had. I regret not ordering two, because my son took half when I got home.Thank you!“
“These are the best empanadas I’ve ever had. Light, airy crust, the meat is juicy, and filling. I’ve been to Spain and Mexico and these are some of the best. Chef had the best recommendations based on my preferences. Even went back for seconds based on her recommendation. The chimichuri was fresh and popping with flavor“
“I have very strong gluten intolerance, and I love this place for their GF options. They may not be many, at this point in time, but I like them all. It's very hard to find a bakery that does GF options, especially on a top tier pro level.My favorite is the chocolate chip cookies(when you can get them). If you didn't know they're Gluten-Free, you wouldn't be able to tell. The GF Brownies are my second choice, and regular choice. Then when I'm feeling fancy or need a switch, I go for the Almond Cake. The flavor is delicate and lightly sweet, almost honey esque. Looking forward to them adding more GF options. And then if I could also request Lactose-Free addition, that would be choice and I would spend more time here than I already do.This spot is definitely worth it. And I'm happy to support them. ????Dietary restrictions: Gluten-Free Options“

“The brisket kolache & lemon poppy seed muffin were to die for! Made to perfection, amazing flavor, & doesn't sit too heavy. The staff did a good job. It was our first time trying Austin Kolache Shoppe so we weren't sure what to get & the young man behind the counter was patient with us. Highly recommended!“
“10/10!!! Omg where do I start?! Service was top notch! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming! I loved interacting with them and they gave AMAZING recommendations! They paid so much attention to each guest even when it was superrr busy! Everything I had was DELICIOUS. The veggie quiche is LIFE CHANGING. Literally about to order another one and it’s a big chunk! Great portion size! I got a couple of danishes which were hard to choose! They had so many options! I came here specifically in hunt for a good cream cheese danish and they did not disappoint!! I will DEFINITELY be a regular :D“
“they were open after 8 on Christmas Eve and the sign said they were open Christmas morning!! #savedtheday. We needed a few last minute items for Christmas Day with the grandparents and they saved us!! Such nice staff and a great selection of items!“
“I had to try this place & so glad i did.. not only was the baklava so good but the service was great too, they are very welcoming and warm.. makes you feel at ease & made me feel like this is a place i will be returning every chance and/or everytime i get to go to “
