Upper Crust Bakery

"The best elephant ear and cinnamon roll in the whole Austin area. We don't mind driving half an hour to enjoy this treat. The texture and the buttery flavor is.….. Omg.… the best!!!!! Thumbs up to this place"

"My favorite Austin bakery and soup and sandwich fare! Great staff and delicious food. I especially love the Italian stew, sourdough bread, Italian Cream Cake, Coconut Cream pie… actually everything. Great coffee! I do miss their bran muffins which they discontinued during Covid. Bring them back please!"

"The Upper Crust Bakery is a treasure trove of delectables! 4:00 pm was too late in the day to get the cinnamon rolls. The choices were cakes and pies, oh what wonderful choices! The Pecan Pie, Lemon Buttermilk Pound Cake, and Italian Cream Cake were the first three to get eaten. Unfortunately, the mind was not thinking about taking a close up picture. Enjoying the moist tender cakes and the gooey, chewy pie amidst a few "ooohs," and "ahhhs" was all that happened, imagine that! I do have a picture of the rich, decadent Chocolate Italian Cream Cake. A definite winner for any chocolate lover to try."

"Great place to grab a great treat. You pay a little more than you would expect, but you’re also getting quality and atmosphere. If you’re looking for a quiet place to get some work done, this is your spot, also, as well as having a nice conversation with a friend."

"A true Austin gem, Upper Crust Bakery is an icon in the bakery-sandwich-soup arena. Family members have been going to Upper Crust for decades and introduced me to the establishment when I moved to Austin 15 years ago. A "go to" place for a super delicious sandwich/soup combo for lunch, a mainstay for ordering fantastic cakes for family celebration occasions, and a great place to stop of a slice of delicious cake or pie with a cup of coffee. This stop featured a "spider-themed" cake (red velvet cake) for a birthday party, as well as my customary slice of Italian Cream Cake. Sampled the Italian Cream cake last evening, deelish as always! Birthday party is later today, so no intel on the red velvet cake as of the time of writing. No doubt it will be a solid 10/10, as always! Great Central Austin location. Staff is always friendly and helpful! Parking can be tricky in the small lot next to the building, you can turn north into the back parking lot off of 45th Street, just be aware it can be tight traveling back there ... two-way traffic (so says the sign), but if there are cars parked back there, it's one car through at a time, whichever way you're going. Highly recommend UCB! PS... RE: the pic of the eating area, it was closing time when we stopped by to pick up the cake, that's why the place looks empty, it's usually packed!"
