Came here around 11am on a Sunday morning after hearing great things about Comadre and yum, we will definitely be back! As soon as we got out of the car in the parking lot, I knew we were in the right place because holy wow the smells coming from the building were crazy delicious. What I bought: Heirloom Masa Sugar Cookie (v)(gf) × 4 $16.00 ($4.00 ea.) Red Berry Concha × 2 $12.00 ($6.00 ea.) Pink Cake (gf) **contains coconut** × 3 $21.00 ($7.00 ea.) Vanilla Concha $6.00 As someone who can't have gluten, I was so so happy that they had gluten free options! The heirloom masa sugar cookie tastes like your grandmas cornbread in cookie form. It's perfectly soft and practically melts in your mouth, slightly savory with just a touch of sweetness, so freaking good. My kids ate the Conchas so fast I couldn't even get a bite in but the kids all said they were super yummy and we have to go back for more. Had a small line when we arrived so we got to watch everyone baking in the kitchen for a few minutes, which was fun to see. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped here on recommendations. Small little shop, with very friendly staff and wonderful service. Had a line outside and had to wait about 10 minutes, but it was worth it. We tried empanadas, twice baked conch, pink cake, and carrot cake. Everything was very delicious. Some of our group liked certain items over the others, but we were happy with it all. We will definitely go back and try more items. read more

Twice baked concha was warm, crispy, and flavorful. Horchata was delicious but really sweet. There was a long line but they were really nice and quick about it. There's music outside and some benches, but it's a small little bakery would recommend grabbing and going to a park. read more

Coffee here was just impeccable! Flavors mend together so well. I had the Cafe Con Leche and it was just incredible. The conchas were also delicious. Any thing with Masa cake is amazing! Workers walk you through the menu cause it's not common items you see throughout most bakeries. Shop is cute and fun but you can't eat inside at all. Can't wait to come back! read more

You should get there early before the line gets too long. The baked goods change very frequently. I recommend following them on Instagram so you can see what they have. If you go too late they have probably sold out of a lot of things. I recommend getting there closer to when they open. There is a little bit of seating outside, but not a lot. The tacos were great. I think they make their own tortillas. read more

Such a gem in Austin! The line was pretty long even at 9AM, it took about 25 min. But completely worth it. The pastries are so creative and fresh and rotate regularly with the mainstays like pink cake and conchas. The empanada was the best I've ever had, as was the concha (which are so dry everywhere else but here they were flaky and perfect). I'd skip the breakfast tacos though as they weren't particularly unique in my opinion. I highly recommend sitting in the patio area. Places like this make me so grateful to live in Austin! read more

Mexican vanilla, citrus, and more. Super refreshing! Moka-Chocolate, espresso, oat milk. Can I get a "heck yeah"? MEXICAN CHOCOLATE CHUNK CONCHA FOR THE WIN!!!!! Masa Sugar Cookie Pink Cake-made with sweet corn and corn flour Sourdough Foccacia I could go on and on... If I want to take a nice gift to someone maybe to a party or work event, I like to get a sample of treats from here. Always a hit. Always. read more

There are bakeries--and then there are sanctuaries where the gods of flour, sugar, and butter surely whisper their secrets. Hidden quietly on the east side, away from the spotlight, lies Comadre Panadería--a place where traditional Mexican sweet bread is elevated into an art form. ¡Ay Dios mío! I must confess: never in my life have I encountered a concha like this. Moist, flavorful, and delicately balanced, it has forever changed my opinion of this classic pastry. You see, I grew up with conchas--dry, crumbly imposters that disintegrated into a sandy mess the moment you picked one up. But here? Here the conchas are revelations. Moist yet airy, flaky yet intact, crowned with a frosting that holds beautifully--adding sweetness without the chaos of crumbs. And I'll say it, unapologetically: lo siento, abuelita, but these are the best conchas I've ever had. Yes, San Antonio. Yes, Rio Grande Valley. You may boast, but until you've tried Comadre's creations, you haven't truly tasted what a concha can be. This was my second visit, and the service is super friendly and each pastry I sampled felt like a new chapter in a story of confectionery excellence. From the first bite to the last, Comadre Panadería doesn't just bake--it enchants. If I risk exposing this hidden gem to the world, I apologize to the proprietor... but magic like this deserves to be celebrated. read more

Love love love the idea! This well known bakery was at the top of my list for this weekends trip to Austin. A few things just feel short. The carrot cake was not giving carrot cake. The coffee was overly spiced in my opinion. I know it was supposed to be but the anis flavor just took over.The highlights were the empanada and powdered sugar cookie. The vibes were very cute. About 5 people can fit in the shop itself at a time so there is a line waiting but they are fairly quick.The price point is average for Austin. But definitely more than a local panaderia. They do use unique ingredients for their flavor profiles. read more

This bakery is so adorable! They have a small parking lot - I went on a weekday, and it was really easy to find a spot. The inside is small and inviting with friendly staff. As someone who mainly eats vegetarian, I love that nothing contains meat here! I ordered the moka, chocolate concha, pink cake, and focaccia. Everything was delicous, but my favorites were the pink cake and focaccia. The pink cake was so moist and the perfect icing to cake ratio. The focaccia had an egg baked into it and was super fresh. You have to order these when you go!! read more

Came at 8:30 on a Friday morning. There were people there, but luckily not a line. It's absolutely tiny and hot inside, so beware. There is outdoor seating. First the coffee- I had an iced coffee and my friend one of their specialty lattes. The coffee was fine- good! But it did not stand out amongst the million of coffee places on the east side and is priced even higher because as their website states, they pay a liveable wage to their employees. But- the pastries. Their menu changes weekly, but there are some standing items. We got a the savory empanada, the pink cake, and a cherry and black sesame donut. The empanada was amazing- spiced and hot and crispy and delicious. 9/10. The pink cake, according to my Mexican boyfriend, was absolutely perfect. 9/10. But the star of the show- that cherry donut was one of the best things I have ever put in my mouth and I dont even like donuts. The tart cherry filling, the soft fluggy cloud like donut consistency, the sweet crunchy cinnamon sugar on the outside- It was like a $6 or $7 donut which is insane but I DONT CARE. I have stalked their menu since that week in August because I will buy 5 the second they are back. Happy to have a place like this nearby, and will absolutely be back to try their new weekly pastries and conchas!!! read more

This is probably my favorite bakery in all of Austin (Rockman is up there too though). The conchas are soft, not crumbly, and come in enticing flavors like berry, hibiscus, and others. I love their pink cake, which is surprisingly almost savory but with sweet notes from the icing. Also love their tacos, which are made on house made tortillas. And their bean and cheese empanadas with a salsa that's to die for (so tangy and fresh, not overly spicy). Basically, you can't go wrong with anything you order. read more

My sister has been going on about this place, so since we were in the neighborhood, we stopped by and hoped they had some roscas left for walk-up sale. They didn't. We arrived and parked in the lot. There was a short line. The bakery is very tiny, so they ask that you queue up outside if there is a line. We walked in as others walked out. We go up to order and they didn't have any roscas. I didn't think I would be in the area so I didn't preorder like a normal human. Honestly, they sounded incredible and I will not fail to preorder next time. So we picked out an assortment: Mexican choco chunk concha, Mexican vanilla concha, prickly pear galleta, pink cake, and Texas winter fresa funfetti cake. I think the Texas winter fresa funfetti cake was my favorite. It was the only one I didn't share. It was so light and whimsical. The cake was fluffy and most with just a hint of icing and delicious layers of strawberry jam. It was will balanced and just the perfect amount of sweetness. I could eat that all day. The pink cake was divine. It practically melts in your mouth. It's topped with prickly pear buttercream which makes me think I need to taste test prickly pears more often. I know I like them, but I can't describe the flavor. The prickly pear galleta was crisp and flavorful. I didn't know if I got the prickly pear flavor, but it was tasty. The conchas were soft and pillowy inside with a great crunch on top. Both yummy and paired perfectly with a little coffee. I definitely think I'll have to stop by again for more goodies. read more

Pastries were so yummy! I went with my vegan friend and they had so many vegan options!

Super cute venue. Parking a bit of a challenge as the lot is very small so street parking may have you walk a few extra steps. Inside they were very kind and informative since this was the first time there. Order two chocolate and one golden then the pink cake. All were delicious! No complaints. For drinks got the horchata, one with espresso added in, and americano and then initially ordered a vanilla cold brew and before we finished ordering (and changing minds) that drink was complimentary since it was already made. Drinks were on point as well. We opted to sit outside in the patio area which would have been perfect except lots of flies. The station for trash and dishes was about 20 feet away and when clearing our table and throwing away the trash we realized this was the source. There is another restaurant kinda connected that we walked through after which had a garden and covered seating. Super super cute!! Would love to go back and experience. read more

I used to wonder why Austin had no elite bakeries....until now. The flakiness of the croissants is unparalleled in the city and can compete with those in larger coastal cities. The bean and cheese empanada was perfectly seasoned. I don't like conchas in general but my wife said it was great. Service was friendly. Interior is small, just to-go; it is cozy and can see the bakers working . Happy to drive past all the classic Austin bakeries and get in line for these pastries...definitely worth the wait!!! read more

This is definitely a gem of a bakery in Austin Texas. They have Mexican inspired, baked goods and drinks. I stopped by recently for their recent weekend special for tacos and Mexican donuts, and it did not disappoint. We ordered one of everything and enjoyed the variety of donuts and tacos. I do recommend going early on weekends. They have a small parking lot but they also have lots of neighborhood street parking that is free. Their bakery is small so frequently there are lines out the door. They also have a patio in the back with sunshades where you can enjoy your goodies. This is the kind of spot I would take out of town visitors for a unique bakery experience. read more

The Pink Cake is amazing. The chocolate concha was also very good. The price is more than comparable bakeries, but they do state they're using higher quality ingredients and paying higher wages to the employees. It's a very small space with no indoor seating so plan to take your treats to go or sit outside in a small patio space. read more

I have been wanting to try this bakery for a long time. I finally grabbed the opportunity today and it was excellent. We tried tacos, a concha, the blueberry corn cake, kougin ama, and horchata with espresso. It was all delicious and unique. I agree with so many other reviews that the conchas were the best I have ever had. Will absolutely be back when we can and recommend! I was there when they opened at 8 and there was a line of about 20 people. It is very small inside so the good news is once you're in the door the wait is basically over. Everyone was also very kind and helpful and it was so impressive that the umbrella was level! read more

Great pastries - my brother in law who is Mexican transports himself to his childhood with these flavors ... all well done

It was a bit tricky to find, but nestled in a quiet neighborhood resides a pink house with a yellow door leading to a small but mighty bakery. More of a grab and go set up inside with a small seating area outside, Comadre is a great stop for coffee, tea and snack. Ordered some conchas, a hostess cake type pastry with passion fruit cream, and a zucchini focaccia. The coffees are made with oat milk and an iced coffee hit the spot. The baked goods were rich in flavor, but not overly sweet which is a nice change from most available baked goods. The hostess cake had an earthy citrus flavor that I hadn't experienced before. Open Thursday to Sunday 8AM to 3PM. read more

I have been meaning to visit this place FOREVER. There are just some things not worth it to me and that's...traffic. So it was a great drizzly morning and I planned to go in the early morning before work. I'm just mad I didn't go sooner because it was sooo goodt (with a t). I'm also on a diet so I'm glad it's not close because I wouldn't be able to help myself. So to be fair I bought way more than I tasted because I am sharing with the work crew. I have had my eye on concha's, pink cake, and the pistachio thumb print cookies and everything is melt in your mouth divine. Can I be honest with you, I have never had a concha I liked. These were airy layers like croissants but not greasy or flaky and the topping was slightly sweet and not floury or dry. Nothing about them is dry, which has been my experience in the past. Honey! And the award for best cake goes to the pink cake. It's the most moist cake, spongy texture and not too sweet so the buttercream can do its thing. Also it's the perfect cake/icing ratio for me. I'm not going through each thing but winner for savory things was the salsa macha focaccia- shit was . Not a ton of parking but I guess my best tip is go during crappy weather LOL, no seriously and when they first open and parking might be easier since it's limited and of course less of a line. They have umbrellas to block some rain and high heat which is considerate of them. read more

Absolutely positively outstanding and innovative Mexican bakery. This is NOT your grandmother's Mexican bakery. If you are looking for the classics - go to Casa Maria's on South First. They have the longest glass case full of Mexican baked goods on the planet ... And it is all wonderful. But this is Nouveau Wacko Mad Genius Mexican baking. You know what? Nouveau Wacko Mad Genius Mexican Baking is just fine by me. * * * A few ground rule before we get to the goodies. Comadre's is in a two-house-stuck-together complex they share with Nixta Taqueria and the 12th Street Kitchen. That is some impressive company. Comadre's does not get a lot of space. They have a baking kitchen they share with the other places. They have a long thin room about the size of 12 shoeboxes stuck end to end where they serve all the goodies. There are like four stools at a counter - and the baking case. The baking case has enough room for maybe eight pastries, four on the top and four on the bottom. If they crowd things, they can fit in Pastries 9 and 10. This means you do NOT want to go when the place is crowded. Crowded means more than three people in the establishment at the same time. Weekends everyone who is not having breakfast at Paperboy is over at either Nixta or Comadre's. The only time you want to be with all those people is if you are running as a political candidate and you want to hand out fliers and shake everybody's hand. Otherwise, come on a weekday and come either just when they open or around lunch time when they are finishing out their day. * * * How is the baking? Pure electrodes to the pleasure center of the brain ! With recipes that are intellectually interesting too ! So College Professor You is breaking down the composition of your dish ... While Four Year Old You is going COOKIE ! COOKIE ! COOKIE ! * * * I did not recognize a single dish among the eight pastries that were in the pastry cabinet my day. Sure - from reading the labels - I knew what everything was. But I had never seen those or eaten those ever before in my life. They were all variations of something familiar - but variations that only a Next Generation Baker would have thought of. * * * I had a Texas Corn in a Cup Croissant. You have had Texas Corn in a Cup at elote trucks. You have never had Texas Corn in a Cup in a pastry. They call the pastry a croissant - but it is really a millefeuille. A magnificent beautifully executed millefeuille. Like a phyllo dough (but not made of phyllo), The pastry is made up of sixty or seventy or eighty different super-thin layers. It has a rich, whole buckwheat-y taste. It is light as a cloud but tastes and feels substantial. I could have eaten that millefeuille all day and all week and been happy even with nothing on it. * * * Now on top of that you put ... Corn. Then Mayonnaise. (MAYONNAISE?) Queso Fresco (Queso Fresco?) Note: No cream cheese like the Cheese Danish that you get at a plain old bakery. On top of all that, you put Red Mexican Tajin powder. (The chili powder that you dump on your Mexican corn out of that stainless steel shaker.) On regular corn in a cup at an elote stand, the mayo cuts the chili powder and the chili powder cuts the mayo. The queso adds a rich but acid quality. Put all this on a magnificent millefeuille. And then add the sweetness you get from the Texas Sweet Corn itself. I went to the Moon. I went to the Stars. I went past the Planet Saturn. On the way back, the Man in the Moon and the Cow Who Jumped Over the Moon all said hello. It was happy happy happy times. * * * Now there were seven other pastries presented in that case. And they swap the offerings out every few weeks or so. So Samuel C. has some unfinished business. Don't expect to see him at Comadre's microbakery on a weekend morning. Life is too short to spend your time waiting in line. * * * But Comadre has just given me a powerful incentive to wake up early on weekday mornings. They are closed Tuesday and Wednesdays. Contrary to what it says here on Yelp, they are actually open on Thursdays. They are also open on Mondays. The term "Blue Monday" has now become obsolete. read more

I really appreciate the quality and passion put into all of these bake goods. I don't know they do it. When you walk in, you can see (and smell) racks and racks of beautiful baked items and you just want one of each. I unfortunately cannot remember the names of my favorite items, but you can't go wrong trying something at least once. Their menu rotates, so you may not find that item you liked from last week. There is a small parking lot so that's a plus. They don't expect tips, but you can if you want to be generous. read more

Having heard from multiple sources that Comadre is their favorite bakery in town, I visited with very high hopes for a frequent stop. I did like that they had vegan pastries for friends like the thumbprint and sugar cookies, but we found the service rather cold and the pastries ok. Our favorite was the bean and cheese empanada. The pink cake was good! I would maybe come back for it if dining at Nixta. I also had high hopes for the matcha and chocolate concha, but they ended up being too salty to finish. read more

The staff were kind and seemed efficient; there was a bit of a line and they brought out shot size glasses of tea. The options are limited. I tried the cornflour alfajor, papa ranchera & cheese empanada, and mesquite pecan polvoron. I liked the empanada (the green sauce was very spicy!). I wasn't a fan of the alfajor or polvoron; they were dry and hard to eat without a drink as well. I also tried a chocolate drink/infusion. I think it was one with the flower flavor. It was ok and I liked it better than the pastries. I don't think this place is alone in this, especially in Austin, but I do think they were too expensive for what they are. The owner has addressed this directly and acknowledged the higher cost. It does price it out of my bracket for regular consumption. And, that's not a them problem that's a me thing. read more
