    The flavor of the knafe was on point however the knafe itself was stale as well as the pastry shell, no light crisp crunch effect that knafe should have. The savory options: zaatar and labneh was very dry and the ham and cheese croissant straight up had a chunk of not melted yellow cheese and luncheon meat. A little underwhelming compared to other area bakeries. Staff was pleasant, clean store, limited seating.

    This place was pretty good although prices were a little high for the quantity. Each pastry was around $8-$9. I enjoyed all of them but they weren't necessarily that unique to cost that much. They were all aesthetically pleasing though. I liked the texture of the croissant and how crispy it was. The pistachio croissant was great. Not too sweet. The ham and cheese pastry was decent, but nothing memorable. My friend got a few other items and one of the pies were refreshing (I forgot what was in it, maybe pear?). The space and small and cozy. Staff were very sweet and friendly.

    Shout out to the pastry chef, Matok is truly a gem and we are better for it. I tried their cherry pistachio croissants, knafe an chocolate sourdough cookie. Cherry pistachios croissant is my fav out of all 3. It's nutty, tangy, creamy and crispy all in one bite. Knafe has hint of floral note from rose water and orange blossom syrup. It's unique and fun to try. Chocolate sourdough cookie resembles more of a biscuit than cookie, still enjoyable but not if you're craving crumbling cookie texture.

    At long last, this sweetheart Matok has found a home on South Lamar where we can find the most exquisite Parisian pastries refined by 2 decades of Michal's apprenticeship and relentless attention to perfection. Atmosphere is buzzing just like they deserve, and the staff is excited to make recommendations. They are works of art as much as they are delightful to enjoy, a sweet retreat as far away as next door, taking my palate overseas and back home again. Although closed on Monday/Tuesday, I was able to enjoy a limited Pear Tart over the weekend - firm, but delicate crust with a dense but crumbly marzipan center set with razor-sliced orchard fresh pears. We should all be so lucky, every once in a while...

    Stopped by here a few days after they opened and they were already sold out of the pistachio croissant! Oh well, next time. I did really enjoy the game and cheese croissant, and the other pastry pictured in my review. The flakiness is perfect, I can only imagine how the more typical croissants taste! My only qualm is the price! Service was friendly and quick when I got there around 730am on a weekend. There is some seating inside though it's fairly small. Absolutely would drive out of my way if looking for quality baked treats!

    The hype is real. We finally have a proper bakery in Austin. We ordered the assorted box (chocolate, ham and cheese, pistachio and cherry) and they were all soo good. The sweet croissants were not too sweet and it didnt taste heavy at all. Usually when i have a croissant i feel gross afterwards lol. The lightness of their baked goods reminded me of the pastries i had in Paris. The individual chocolate dessert was also a real treat. Pro tip: order a day or two ahead for pick up! When we walked in to the store to pick up our order there were a lot of people hanging around waiting for their next batch of pastries to come out because they were sold out at the time. Will definitely be ordering from here again!!

    Omg I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! Parking is very very tight so beware! When we walked in, there was a 15 minute wait for one of the pastries and we didn't mind the wait. We ordered our coffees to sip on & sat outside! Food: I had a vanilla latte, which was delicious. ~ There was a sample of the baguette! OMG THIS WAS SO FREAKING GOOD. PERFECT. You didn't need butter or anything with it. It was so crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside without feeling dry. ~ The chocolate chip strawberry scone was delicious. It reminded me of London's scones with how luscious it tasted. ~ My family tried the cherry pistachio croissant & they said it was one of the best pastries in Austin. Service: SO friendly!!! The worker in the front was so friendly and fun. She was also a big fan of the pastries and hyped them up so well. Ambiance: Very cute and very small! Not lots of seating either.

    Overdue review! Really impressed with the quality of the pastries. Each one was better than the last, but my personal favorite was the croissant (cherry with pistachio filling). Did not eat them all at once and they all kept their quality very well! Ordered online and pickup at their house, instructions were easy to follow and was able to pick up a little earlier than my designated window for pickup. Highly recommended if you're looking for unique and tasty pastries!

    Wow! These pastries are beautiful and delicious! I learned at my mid afternoon stop last week that I should get there much earlier in the day. Last week, my only choices were between plain croissants and a loaf of bread. The plain croissant was so good, but I still wanted to try the sweet treats. This week, I got there earlier and had my choice of several beautiful pastries (although some were sold out). Check it out, but go in the morning!

    The pastries here are absolutely stunning, visually, they're 10/10! Ranking them from favorite to least: the cherry pistachio was the clear winner, followed by the chocolate, and lastly the one with Kanafeh. Overall, they're definitely probably best enjoyed warm and when heated, for sure they're incredible. Shoutout to the seller for great service! I arrived 45 minutes earlier than my pickup time and he still accommodated me. I only waited about 15 more minutes. Really appreciated that level of flexibility. I drove all the way from Georgetown to South Austin after seeing this viral croissant on TikTok, worth the trip for the experience alone. The pastries are gorgeous. Taste-wise, I'd rate the cherry pistachio a 7/10, the chocolate a 6/10, and the Kanafeh a 5/10. Service was great though super accommodating, so overall I'd give 4 out of 5 stars. Reserve ahead of time and buy through online.

    Pistachio Crème Croissant, Ham and Cheese and Knafeh Cheese. Pastry PERFECTION. WOW!!

    RUN, don't walk, to this AMAZING Bakery!! Perfectly perfect, reasonable price point for high end baked goods. LOVE this place!!

    This might be the fastest I've ever written a review, but I had to get it down before I forgot. The hype is absolutely real. I wasn't sure I'd like the cherry and pistachio croissant, but after one bite in the car, I immediately went back for more. Please support this business. Would hate to see another awesome business in Austin go. Hands down, the best croissants in Austin!

    These were works of art - cherry pistachio and classic croissants, ham and cheese pastry, and knafe.

    Amazing all around - great, unique yet familiar flavors and textures, and all looked like works of art. Staff was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the products. I'll be back!

    Selection of sweet and savory pastries!

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.

I love the green soft chairs, the tables, and the chef statue greeting you as you pull in front of the building. He's right there in the window. The bistro honestly takes your breath away. I love it! So in the last two weeks, I've been back exactly four times. My first introduction was the Croissant Scramble with chicken and veggies inside, with the Arnold Palmer. My friend got the Croissant Scramble with brisket. The presentation of the croissants when brought to the table blew me away. It was wrapped up in the cutest paper with the ends twisted. The topic of conversation was how good the croissants were. Before we left, we ordered some delicious cookies. The chocolate chips were yummy. So I went the following day and grabbed some pastries! One in particular was the Pecan Bar. The following week, another friend and I stopped in for the Chicken Pesto Omelet. I like that the fire-roasted bell peppers and onions are cooked, if that's the right word. But l have to tell you, the Mexican Hot Chocolate drink brings on the flavor, as does the ice-cold Mocha. Of course, we got the Pecan Bar for dessert. So yes, I went back yesterday for the Almond Croissant. I know, I know!

I placed a custom birthday cake order about a…read moremonth in advance for my partner's birthday dinner, with pickup scheduled the same day as the celebration. When I arrived, I was told the cake wasn't ready and was asked if I could come back the next morning--which obviously didn't work given the timing of the event. As a substitute, they offered me a pre-made cake from their display case and assured me it was chocolate like I originally ordered, just with a chocolate mousse filling. They refunded me $15 to account for the difference, and I felt pressured to accept since I needed something for the dinner that night. Unfortunately, the situation got worse from there. When we cut into the cake, it turned out to be confetti--not chocolate. Then, when we tried to eat it, it was clearly stale, dry, and inedible. No one touched it after the first bites. It completely missed the mark for what was supposed to be a special moment. What's especially frustrating is that I ordered from them last year for the same occasion, and everything went perfectly--that's why I trusted them again. This time, however, it was a complete letdown from start to finish. When I called the next day to request a refund, I asked to speak with a manager but was told that wasn't possible. Instead, I was told I would only be offered a partial refund because I accepted the replacement cake. I understand that mistakes happen, but the lack of accountability and quality here was really disappointing--especially for something as important as a birthday celebration.

It's attached to a hotel and it definitely had the feel of 'room service fancy' when it came to the entrees. The waygu beef burger was a perfectly uniform bland patty in a sea of lukewarm fries with two sad slices of roma. The waygu steak wasn't bad, but again, room service fancy feel. The Green Goddess salad looked pretty good but expect to pay extra to add a protein. I did like the ambiance. The waitstaff was helpful and informative. The kitchen and bar took a while, even with just a few tables occupied. When we called to reserve a table, they let me know they couldn't split checks and gratted parties over 6, which I expected but appreciated they communicated it. The website was hard to navigate for me and the Happy Hour available under Caroline isn't actually offered anywhere but upstairs. If you have accessibility issues, note that there aren't any restrooms on the first floor. Be prepared to walk a maze through the restaurant, through the coffee shop and either up 4 switchbacks of stairs to the 2nd floor or to ride the elevator on the hotel side to find one. Overall, if you're planning a trip here, I would check out Caroline Upstairs and hit up the upper deck patio for drinks and appetizers and skip downstairs restaurant. Unless you like lukewarm fries with no seasoning! Then, this is your place

Definitely one of those places that keeps you thinking about the cookie long after you leave. Everything else in the bakery also looks amazing, but the cookies are absolutely the star of the show. One important thing to note for first-time visitors: be very careful with parking. The lot next door apparently boots cars almost immediately if they see you park there and walk toward the bakery. It's not the bakery's fault, but it's definitely something customers should be aware of before visiting. Parking headache aside, this place is 100% worth the trip.

They were gooey in the middle, perfectly crisp on the outside, and rich without being eye-squinting sweet. The chocolate chip cookies had welcoming textures and flavors. In addition, my server was kind and patient as I made my selection. You could taste the quality of ingredients, and each mouthful was progressively delicious. Definitely try Thoroughbread cookies for yourself. You're in for a treat.

It had the chewy mochi texture however I didn't get enough of the rich ube flavor. It had somewhat of a bitter aftertaste and the Oreo overpowered the ube. I drank the ube milk tea the next day and it was creamy, smooth, and not overly sweet. I really enjoyed the flavor profile of the beverage and would order it again. Overall, enjoyed my selections and will be back to try more dessert options and flavors from one of the most unique Asian dessert spots in Austin!
