Went on a Saturday afternoon and got a 6 pack of their macarons. They were best I've had in Austin!…read moreThey were fresh, flakey, light and busting with flavor! I got the Rose, grapefruit, lavender, Earl Gary, Orange Heaven and lemon. Each macaron I could vividly taste the flavor they were going for. They were all good, but my favorite were the grapefruit and lemon. The macarons felt a bit too sweet and are pricey, hence removing one star. There is plenty of street parking in the neighborhood near by and the ambience is very small cute place. Girl at the front was kind. Definitely check this place out for macarons! Will be back for their pastries!

Smells of croissant, chocolate, muffins, macarons, & more encompass your very being. The flavor smells wafted over me like a brilliantly executed perfume.

Half off baked goods after 4 p.m.--talk about a sweet treat!

I really didn't want to like these donuts, because who needs a $9 donut, right? But I have to…read moreadmit, they far exceeded my expectations. Just to be clear, I AM somewhat of a subject matter expert. I have eaten all manner of fried dough creations from coast to coast, including Hawaii, and I have a lot to say on the topic. My favorite is still Cider Belly in Albany, NY, but I digress. The PB&J donut here is one of the best things I have ever eaten. I dragged it out for 3 days. Even semi-stale, and reheated in the microwave, it was still delicious. I put a scoop of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream on it which definitely helped. I also ordered a Heavenly Hash (one of my favorite ice cream flavors BTW) and a Naughty and Nice because I am all about the classics. They were both outstanding. No leftovers. I bought these donuts in lieu of birthday cake this year which may become my new tradition. Honestly, I think these are my new favorite donuts in Austin now.

Doughnuts made to order out of an airstream, you say?…read more Looks like they used to offer mini versions but that side of the menu is all mask taped over. When we went our choices were $9-$10 donut base desserts. I say base because the toppings cover up the donut visually. Despite that, there's no covering that scrumptious taste and texture. Wowaweea. Yes, you feel your cells expand and pants tighten and it is for sure run club pre and post, but quite worth it. These divine donuts have that cakey interior I love so much. We had the Puddin': cream cheese icing, vanilla pudding, fresh bananas with nilla wafers. According to the menu. Ours didn't have any nilla wafers and the presentation was uneven, hence the four stars. I didn't miss the wafers. The icing and pudding were one goopy topping and the bananas slices were half scattered slices and half banana chunk that I had to separate. Side notes: Gourdough sits on a corner with parking spots that are not free. There's a pay via QR code so you'll need a phone or something to scan that. Boo for digital shackles. Next note- I feel like this is a low key meet up spot. Like the way they tried to make the first train cars on the MTA the singles car? There was a series of singles getting doughnuts and they were a little done up for the occasion. Who knows. With the little IG ready love seats and doughnuts made for sharing, you could walk away with extra sugar.

I've now ordered from Hayley Cakes and Cookies twice, and both experiences were fantastic. Even…read morethough they're based in Austin, they ship nationwide, which makes it really convenient if you're looking for custom cookies for an event or gift. Both times I ordered custom cookies, and the whole process was incredibly smooth. If you've ever ordered decorated cookies before, you know the process can sometimes feel complicated with designs, quantities, timelines, etc., but their team made it super easy from start to finish. What really stood out to me was the customer service. The staff were amazing and incredibly responsive, answering all of my questions and making sure everything was clear before placing the order. They made the entire experience feel effortless, which I really appreciated. And of course, the cookies themselves were beautifully decorated. The designs were clean, detailed, and exactly what I was hoping for. They're the kind of cookies that look almost too pretty to eat -- but once you do, you realize they taste great too. These are perfect for events, gifts, or special occasions, especially if you want something personalized that still feels high-quality and professional. Would I order again? Absolutely. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again for another event or gift

In fact, after 2 or 3 days in the fridge, the leftovers were frankly so dry we threw them away. A few weeks before that, I had bought her a cake for her birthday at Chez Zee and boy they know how to make a moist cake (but overly sweet). Other than that, the place is immaculate and the service is good.

My kids are prolific frosting eaters. They never really eat the cake- and they're big fans. We get the minis and they enjoy looking in the case and picking their own. I did take one star off because my kids and friends kid were being typical toddlers. They were in a silly post-swim class mood and were giggling and dancing around as we ordered. The staff seemed overwhelmed and I started to feel rushed. I had basic requests, "put one vanilla cupcake in a separate bag as it's a gift. Make the rest to go" etc. I was sort of made to feel like we were too much. Kids aren't for everyone- trust me I know they are overstimulating. But this shop is a delight to their little eyes, please don't make them feel unwelcome.
