Don't you love when a place is actually worth the hype? Everything I had here was best in class. The breakfast tacos were cooked to perfection and the homemade tortilla was a stand-out. The pink cake and brown butter lavender concha were GREAT, but the butternut cardamomo panque was exceptional. 10/10. A must-try in my opinion. It was moist with a great texture and flavor. The inside is super small and only meant for ordering, but it was cool getting to see the masters at work preparing the food (don't film or photographer the employees though as there is a sign not to do so). There is a decent amount of seating via small tables and benches behind the restaurant, in front, and along the sides. Customer service was good! One employee was particularly sweet when he checked on us as we ate outside. My friend said that the food was amazing and that he felt grateful. The employee said that makes him very happy and he was glad to hear that. In conclusion, Comadre Pandería is worth the hype!!! read more

Came by on a Saturday morning around 8:40 AM, and there were already people lining up outside. We probably got inside and ordered in around 15 minutes, as they aren't the fastest in getting people food/having the line move. Parking lot is small, but plenty of street parking. They also offer utensils/water outside with mainly bench seating available. Portion sizes are normal sized, but compared to the price, kind of expensive. Empanadas ($7, 7/10) - The filling was good! Stewed meat with tomato based sauce, and paired very well with their breading. - Portion size was moderate. However for the price, it was not that filling, and I wish that it were either a little larger, or a little less expensive - Definitely enjoyed this item, and one of the better empanadas that I've had Overall, a cool spot in the middle of the neighborhood. Good pastries, though on the pricey side. Not sure if would visit again, but the pink walls are a cool fun touch. read more

Comadre Panaderia - Empanadas ($7, 7/10) - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Tasty bakery. And for those that say it's expensive, then you haven't had good bakery items before. The line was long but went fast. The inside has a view of the food and a view of the kitchen and the hard working chefs. Treat yourself and support one of the best run and fair employee paying businesses in Texas. read more

Comadre has been on my list to check out for some time now, and I'm happy we finally stopped by! Got here around 8:30-8:40 am on a Saturday morning and there was a short line already, but nothing too crazy. Would recommend getting here before 9 am if you're looking to grab something specific. Service is a tad slow, but the line moves pretty steadily. In terms of overall space, there's a connected lot with a decent amount of parking spots available which is great. There's also benches/stools outside so you can enjoy your treats while they're fresh. Pink Cake ($7, 4.5/5) - I liked how the "cake" base itself is more hearty (with corn as the main ingredient) - The buttercream is a very pretty pink, which matches the overall aesthetic of Comadre. It's a tad sweet, but works overall. Empanadas ($7 each, 5/5) - Great savory option! The filling consists of stewed chickpeas, poblano chilies, cheddar cheese. - Comes with a side of tomatillo sauce which adds some nice tang. Overall, really enjoyed our experience! I had just recently watched an Austin PBS episode that featured Comadre - would recommend checking the video out as it highlights a lot of the thought/consideration that goes into this business! Excited to come by next time I'm in the area & checking out other items on the menu. read more

For parking, don't try to pull into their parking lot unless you have a clear view of an empty space or you'll get stuck needing to back out on to the street again. Plan to park down the street or around the corner instead. We arrived here at about 10:30 AM on a Saturday and there was already quite a line to get in. Once we were able to buy our selections and try them, we completely understood why this panadería is so popular. Stay aware of the pricing, while well worth every penny, getting everything you want to try will add up. If you want to stay and eat, there is limited seating outside around the backside of the building. I tried the cacao à la Comadre with a shot of espresso to wash down the delicious pan dulce. I'm not sure I would get that again, but this cacao drink had an interesting mix of spices and I'm glad I tried it. They have savory offerings as well, in the form of tacos and empanadas. I had a garbanzo bean and cheese empanada to start, which paired nicely with a tasty and medium spicy green salsa that came with it. I then enjoyed the pink cake that had creamy frosting on a cake with a pleasant cornbread flavor and a texture like a poundcake. I still have a box of pan dulce to enjoy the rest of the week and two puercitos (marranitos) for my mom. See my pictures for more details. read more

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

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

Thank goodness I found this place! Since my trip to Mexico, I've been looking long and hard for good conchas and have been disappointed until this place. Parking is easy with a small lot and plenty of street parking. The vibes are low key and the staff is friendly. Can't go wrong with anything but the sugar cookie and concha were my favorite! I can't wait to come back and try more. read more

Comadre Panaderia - Pink cake, concha, and sugar cookie - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

I had been wanting to go here since I learned about this place and it was worth the months of waiting until coming back down to Austin. This place is a GEM. You can tell there is care for the community and I love it. Pan dulce has always been a staple in my family and to see a place like this where everything is made with such care is special. All the staff members were amazing and the pan dulce itself was unique and outstanding. It was a perfect blend of sweet/savory and high quality ingredients. I'll be dreaming of the conchas and pink cake. There will be a line but parking and areas to wait are abundant while you send a friend to stand in line! Must go! Everything is decorated nicely but it is a small venue once you're inside so plan accordingly. 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

This place has been on my list for over a year and last year I wasn't able to stop by while visiting. About a week ago I listen to the chef/owner on the "she's my cherry pie " podcast and her passion and dedication to honoring her heritage and paying an affordable wage while being passionate about quality is impressive. $7.50 may be steep for a pastry but knowing the quality and effort that she puts into every item while paying affordable wages makes it understandable. Anyway, This time it was a must visit on a quick over night trip. I ended up not making it in till around 1230-1 so most stuff was gone but they had the seasonal strawberry sunflower seed concha which was what I wanted anyway. The Concha had a nice crispy outside with a soft airy inside, the jam wasn't too sweet and there was just enough sunflower to kiss your palate to let you know it was there. I would have loved to try other items but what I did try was top notch. Hope to make it by again for more tasty treats soon. 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

OMPastry...& more. I dig the welcoming and delicious vibe. Like so much. Nice place to relax, have a treat and a nice coffee. Here are a few of my favorite things: Texas Red Cream Soda---OMG!! 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

I got there at lunch time and couldn't get most items I wanted. Go early if you want breakfast tacos. But we did get a cheddar meat empanada, the pink cake that looks like homers doughnut, a concha and a danish. They were all tasty and done well. My favorite was the pink cake. Watch out for limited parking and it's pricey. Spent $30 for four pastries. 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

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

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

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

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.

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 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
