After dinner at Curra's, we walked over here to try the tiramisu + key lime pie- the key lime has a lovely tartness & the tiramisu is perfectly layered. The outdoor seating offers a view into the bakery's kitchen. Good location, very walkable.

Amazing service even better treats! Their oatmeal raisin cookie, lemon bar and red velvet cupcake were phenomenalll. They didn’t last long enough for us to snap a pic. We also tried their vietnamese coffee and it was delicious. We live in Hyde Park and this was our first time trying Quacks but definitely not our last.

Tried several desserts and had mixed experiences. The key lime pie was excellent!! perfectly balanced between tangy and sweet with a smooth, velvety texture. It was easily the standout and shows what this bakery is capable of.
The coconut cream pie had good flavor, but it was very heavy on whipped cream and light on filling, which made it feel unbalanced. The chocolate pie was unfortunately very disappointing!!.It had almost no chocolate flavor at all and was also overwhelmed by whipped cream, leaving it tasting bland.
The red velvet cake was very good, moist with a great cream cheese filling that really stood out.
Overall, the cream pies seem to need more filling and stronger flavor, with less emphasis on whipped cream. There is a lot of potential here, especially given how good the key lime pie and red velvet cake are, and it would be great to see the cream pies reach that same level.

The cakes were so good I was halfway through before deciding to take pictures. The chocolate cake was decadent, dark, delicious, but somehow not overly rich. The perfect Matilda cake. Definitely the best I've had in Austin. The key lime pie was also to-die-for. Super tangy, but gorgeously buttery and rich to balance the acidity. The carrot cake slice was good as well, though not on the same level as the other two for me. The frosting was perfect, and the crumb was moist, but I'm not a fan of the shredded carrot bits that were present. That might just be a personal preference. It was still a solid 8.5/10. The others were just 10/10.

Man, disappointing to see how some changes take shape.
The old Quacks had heart & vibe. Baristas with character. This place has button pushers with no customer service.
Asked for heavy cream for my coffee, a usual for me, & was first directed to the half & half. Then I clarified request for heavy cream. THEN was told they didn't have any. I looked confused as there's a whole bakery here & asked again. THEN FINALLY (maybe) truthfully told they *do* have it but won't get it or sell me a milk upcharge for it. Too damn bad. I guess I'll stick to Bennu for coffee with service.

The best pumpkin pie you will ever eat in this lifetime.
Delicious pastries! The chocolate cake is a staple for bdays. Some of the pastries are really cute and decorative. Perfect for grabbing a box of goodies for the office because they have options for any diet (ex vegan or gluten free). Parking is easy and staff are patient when you can’t decide which sweet treat you want.

I've been coming here for years and just realized I've never submitted a review. This is one of my favorite neighborhood bakeries. My favs are the chocolate cake, sugar cinnamon roll, ham and cheese croissant and coconut pie for my Granny. Today I went in for the croissant. The flakey butter crust practically melts in your mouth. The cheese and ham combo blend perfectly to create this breakfast treat. The service here is always professional and welcoming. There are several small tables and chairs outside. This particular area reminds me of old Austin. Its lovely to sit outside Quacks and enjoy your snack or beverage on a nice day.
