Quack's 43rd Street Bakery • 1983

Austin's first espresso bar started pouring shots in 1983, back when most Texans still thought coffee meant diner drip. Quack's 43rd Street Bakery draws regulars with scratch-made pastries, towering slices of pie, and a laid-back Hyde Park vibe that feels more neighborhood living room than café. The cinnamon rolls alone justify the pilgrimage.
