Every neighborhood needs a bakery, a place where you can pick up a loaf of bread on the way home from work or a cafe where you can take yourself for an afternoon pick-me-up.
Pies, kolaches, cookies, pan dulce and muffins have been on the menu at Austin-area bakeries for decades. The businesses that figured out the right balance of cafe and coffeeshop — from San Francisco Bakery and Cafe in North Austin, La Mexicana in South Austin to the Texas Pie Company in Kyle — have stuck around for a long while.
But then the cupcake craze of the early 2000s came (followed by macaron mania in the early 2010s), bringing in a new wave of specialty bakeries that drew customers who increasingly wanted a little taste of sugar sunshine they could hold in their hand.

Now, sweets lovers can find cake balls, fancy donuts, tiny pies and crazily decorated cakes and cookies all over the region. We have vegan and gluten-free shops, as well as bakeries that focus on whole loaves and baguettes. Austin also has a number of Asian and Middle Eastern bakeries, where you’ll find specialties such as Japanese-style brioche, baklava and red bean bread.
We originally published a version of this guide to Central Texas bakeries in our Austin Food Guide last fall. It's been a wild past few months, though, so we thought everyone could use some carb comfort. We've updated the list with a few new arrivals. Almost all of these have store fronts, and we haven't included the dozens of cottage law-based bakeries that sell directly to customers or at local farmers markets.
