Quack's 43rd Street Bakery

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 ke

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.

Best kolache I think I’ve ever had. Look at the cheese crisp outer edges!! The danishes are flaky and delicious. The cappuccino was less than ideal as it had that burnt flavor to it. Definitely coming back here.

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.

Just went to quacks for some coffee and a vegan chocolate muffin. Coffee was absolutely delicious. Muffin was great too. I bought the key lime pie for a friend’s birthday from here a little while ago and it was a huge hit. Also, the staff were so friendly. I will be back
