Edwyn AMarch 19, 2014The sourdough is as close to San Francisco sourdough you can get here in Austin. In fact the starter is from SF but overtime has developed a unique Austin touch.
I love this place! Best sandwhiches and cookie ever.. John the owner is a super nice guy too, which makes this my favorite place to come when I'm up this way.. We love San Francisco bakery!
Leigh DSeptember 5, 2013They often have Cream of Chicken soup. It is soooo good...it's like "grandma's." I like the California BLT also, but on a crecent roll (the sour dough is too thick and dough-y). Great coffee too!
JazzDecember 1, 2016I came here to get treats for a class party, and the staff was so accommodating and helpful. Plus, the food was delicious!
Andrea TrevinoAugust 2, 2013Grilled eggplant add avocado! Fantastic. All of their baked goods are divine and this is a great place to ear alone or with friends :)
Andrea NicoleJuly 1, 2011Everything a family owned biz should be! I ordered to-go & wasn't even thinking it took long, but he offered a free pastry for the wait. Um, cinnamon roll, yes please. Also, "on sourdough" - do it!
Hama-LycheeJune 9, 2018These guys know their business. Latte is solid. Cream cheese danishes are great.
vegetable sandwich on sourdough- oh my goodness! my favorite lunch in the world.
RaniaMarch 26, 2021Friendly staff. Good selection of lunch options. Wouldn’t recommend the coffee. Epoch is close by
Santa Clara on Wheat or croissant! Yummy!!!Or the Turkey on wheat...marinated carrots are the best! ;-)
Get the egg and sausage sandwich on baguette. You won't regret it!
Best breakfast sandwich in Austin. Get it on a croissant with sausage!
- Kurt WeisenbergerMarch 24, 2010They NOW accept credit/debit cards! March 2010. And the Santa Clara is amazing. Highly recommend it.
George TabaresJuly 11, 2010Phenomenal service, but using your Go Local card here is like putting sunglasses on at night. Not hardly ever going to help ,esp. when you can only use it at when you spend more than $10.
They bake cookies throughout the day, so there's a chance you can get a fresh batch during lunch. Also, this place is no longer cash-only.
Get the cookies. They are the best I have had in years, and I like cookies.
