He didn't get there until 10:30am so it's understandable that the variety was low, but he said there wasn't much that resembled the online photos. First, the texture of the donuts is strange (OK), but then we were hit with the smell and taste of rancid oil. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​We took a single bite of each kind ​​he brought home and they were ALL rancid. Preparing food with rancid oil is a health hazard. ​​We want to support our local community businesses, but they have to provide a decent product. ​​​​We're so disappointed.

Scam Alert! BEWARE: I went to pay for my items and it didn't add up correctly. I asked about it…read morewhen looking at the receipt and there was an extra charge for "differential pay."

This business in Taylor is an extension of the one in Hutto. They have a nice little storefront…read morelocated directly on main street. There's barely enough room for 6 to 10 people to stand around inside the ordering area. It is primarily a "to go"establishment. We got there around 3 o'clock in the afternoon so several of their baked goods were already out of stock. Their cupcakes and cookies are unbelievably fantastic. You can call in and have them make cakes to go or just grab some cupcakes while you're there. Their strawberry cupcake was dense and rich and quite literally the best I've ever had. The quality of their cakes definitely exceed anything you would ever find at a major store front. They might be a little pricey but the quality lives up to the price. This little bake shop is definitely a great asset to Main Street.

Also the different textures are appealing as well - soft sweet bread converging with crunchy walnuts. It is so good! Upper Crust Bakery is my "go to" bakery when I am hosting a party that has associated dessert. My favorite cakes at Upper Crust is the Chocolate Italian Cream and the Gato Marissa cakes. They also have an assortment of cookies, pastries, muffins and other sweet treats. It is not unusual to find a line to get to your heavenly pastries and coffee, however, the line goes rather quickly. Many customers are at the bakery only for pickup...revolving pickup counter. Others linger in the bakery enjoying their bakery treats. They also serve soup, sandwiches and quiche as well.

I had just read on Reddit a couple days prior that this was recommended as an alternative to another Austin bakery. When I walked in I was surprised to find many older individuals sitting and chatting, so I thought there might be some kind of event. But it's probably just the demographics of the neighborhood! Based on the decor I can tell they're not trying to be a "trendy" bakery and remain true to their identity as a neighborhood business. They still had a good number of pastries available but I did get the last strawberry danish of the day (pictured). I also got the almond croissant. Their pre-made bread loaves all looked appetizing as well. I thought both pastries had good texture but could have used more filling/flavoring.

A must stop if you are traveling between Houston and Austin on Hwy 71. I'm usually a Bucees guy,…read morebut this place specializes in something that the beaver doesn't. Kolaches! Arguably one of the greatest foods ever invented. Atleast in my world. How can you go wrong with bread filled with sweet or savory fillings? Hruska's is about halfway between Houston and Austin and a perfect rest stop to fill up on gas, use the clean facilities, grab a snack or indulge in their amazing baked goods. They are steeped in history and have been around for decades passing along the family recipes. It's obviously improved structurally over the years from a country store and looks like a modern gas station now. It's always pretty busy every time I have stopped in, but they are a well oiled machine and keep the masses moving with excellent customer service. They have all your gas station essentials like snacks and beverages. What sets them apart is their bakery. Here, they label their kolaches as the traditional fruit filled variety. I like them, but they are never my first choice. I love the ones with meat inside. Here, they label these as pigs in a blanket. They have a large variety of both. I usually go for a regular sausage and cheese, but over here, they sell a delicious pan sausage kind. On top of all their sweet and savory baked goods, they also sell burgers on the grill. Their burgers have made it to the Texas Monthly Top 50 burger spots. I have yet to try it. Overall, this is an always stop place for me. I highly recommend stopping here to stretch your legs and enjoy a delicious pastry while you're at it. I will definitely be back.
