Parking : small and can be packed during busy hour Ambience - small seatings are- around 4 table Croissant: the chocolate is surprisingly not sweet at all Regular croissant is at $5 Speciality croissants are $7.5-$8. I wanted to try more croissant for sure, wasnt too impressed with the chocolate croissant .
Overall: 3.9/5 [dine in] Super nice and friendly staff. The seating is limited but they do have wifi available. Knafe Croissant ($8): I came specifically for this since I have never seen it offered anywhere else. It's pretty, has a strong rose flavor, and has house made cheese inside. I thought the cheese was a bit bland and not soft enough to add much to the croissant. The exterior was also a bit hard which made it difficult to cut through. Pistachio Cherry Croissant ($8): This was the second pastry I had my eye on and I'm so glad I decided to get it! The croissant was better than the knafe croissant in every way. Flaky, tasty, and filled with a really nice pistachio cream. I did not really taste the cherry but the red color made it look beautiful. Definitely recommend this one.
One of the most delicious treats I've had in Austin. Thank you so much to the bakers at Matok. We had the ham/cheese roll, Knafe, multiple croissants and sourdough bread. Never before have I seen a family demolish bread like this. The Knafe was fantastic. Tasted like I was eating a delicate flower. The croissant was crunchy on the surface, but soft inside. What a wonderful eating experience. The staff was friendly and engaged. I really enjoyed being inside, it felt like a family. My only constructive comment is there was a dog inside and I really don't see any reason why a dog should be inside at a bakery. Any review has mentioned dogs inside also. I love dogs, but don't want them inside a restaurant I'm eating at.
My husband surprised me with some croissant-based pastries from Matok on his way home from work, and they were delightful! My favorite was the cherry pistachio croissant. There was another one that was a cream-filled rum cake wrapped in croissant or phyllo dough which I thought would be my favorite, but the cake and pastry together tasted kind of heavy. The third may have been Pain Suisse, and it hit the spot but didn't match the cherry pistachio one. he also mentioned a cookie he wished he got but we'd have to go back for it sometime! Sometime we're out doing fun things before 3:00 because apparently that's when they close.
Found this by accident and let me tell you it was amazing! Came to Austin from Robinson and I have not had anything close to this before. It's not only beautiful to look at but the flavors were just so amazing. Definitely recommend for someone to come try this place. The service was also very good as the young ladies at the counter were very knowledgeable and friendly!
Matok is a small bakery tucked away on south Lamar. First, the actual food. I ordered what they had available. A cherry pistachio croissant and a cardamom vanilla filled bread. In regard, to the cherry pistachio croissant, the layers and cream on the inside were delicious! I absolutely loved the filling and it was not too sweet or underwhelming, and the layers were croissant perfection. I have the same comment toward the cardamom vanilla filled bread. I must say this spot does a great job balancing flavor with savory. As for the service, the staff was aware and had a well thought out approach to running low on their goodies. I went in the middle of the day so I did not get a wide selection, as they had run out. Even so, the staff still informed us when the next round of bread was coming. They took orders prior and wrote each name down along with our requests. They set aside these orders and promptly called the respective individuals when the bread was ready. All that said, one thing I think they should be mindful of are the other guests (respectfully). I wanted to stay and try the bread in-person, but there was actually someone with two non service dogs that were in the restaurant. I love dogs, but if a customer has two dogs barking at one another and fighting in a vicinity that sells food, I think the establishment should request that the individual remove their dogs. Moreover, a person could be allergic and for such a tiny spot this scenario was not ideal. These were two large dogs fighting, barking (I stayed for about 15 minutes) no one said anything. I know this violates a health code so I really hope this establishment is more aware for future customers.
I am so happy for the folks of Matok. Operating out of their home garage until opening on South Lamar must be such an incredible feeling and it shows in the delicate art of their pastries. Get. One. Of. Everything. Trust me. The cherry pistachio croissant is almost difficult to eat -- so beautifully done and tastes outrageously good. The knafe is also wonderful. But the star of the show (at least for me) is their five seed sourdough loaf. Do not miss it. So soft and nutty and to die for (no pics of it because it's too good and doesn't last long enough for photos). Parking is available but minimal so come early. Or try to catch them when their midday bake is available.
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!
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.
I enjoyed everything I tried during my first visit to Matok. Warning that the parking lot is kind of small, so it might be hard to find a spot during busy times on the weekend. The workers who helped me were very nice, and there are a few places to sit inside. I tried the egg sandwich, the cherry pistachio croissant, the babason, and knafe. My favorite was the babason. The filling inside is delicious. The croissant was flakey, buttery, and the cherry pistachio was a great combination. The only item I'd skip next time is the egg sandwich because I found it slightly bland. The worker told me there was some mustard in it but I could not taste any. Not sure if they forgot it or she was mistaken. Otherwise, everything else was great, and I look forward to trying more of their pastries.
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.
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.

What once required online-only advance orders is now available most days of the week in their walk-in cafe & wholesale (although online ordering still required for some specialty items & holidays). From their website: MATOK, n./adj./adv - sweetness, like sugar/honey; also to describe a sweet person or action. From apprenticeship in NYC to opening BADOLINA with the DORIS GROUP in Houston, MICHAL is the singular genius producing Austin's most beautiful pastries - BET. Also incredible cookies, desserts, breads, cakes, granola (+ vegan & GF!). HOLY MOLY I'm dying over this PECAN PRALINE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE! It's 1/2" thick with slightly crisped edges, barely baked, ooey gooey dark chocolate chips, and a creamy, candied center of buttery pralines & TX pecans. If you have room for 2 (or choose to share - I dare!) the HALVA CHOCOLATE CHIP has many of the same perfected attributes + slightly fruity & crunchy, slightly nutty sesame crunch. All pairs well and ends well with GREATER GOODS coffee, no sugar added! read more

Wow! I'm soooo impressed by the deliciousness and uniqueness of all the treats. If you like pistachios, this is the place for you! We ordered pistachio and cherry croissant and it was amazing!!! A few days later, I placed an online order for the pistachio mousse cake and was blown away by how beautiful it turned out. One of the best tasting cakes I've ever had! This will be my go to spot for any future bday cakes! read more

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. read more
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! read more

It's more visually appealing than it tasted!! After looking at social media people raving about this place, and looking at the pictures, my expectation was too high. Last Sunday me n two other friends drove to this place in the afternoon, everything was out, other than few cherry pistachio croissants, but already there were few people in line for them, so couldn't get anything. Today was in the area for brunch with the family stopped by around 11:30ish, they had only few cherry pistachios croissants, couple of scones, one or two challah and GF orange cake. Got two cherry pistachios croissants, it's $16 + tax + tip. Croissants were good but nothing special than what you get in any coffee shop or Whole Foods, when you just taste croissants part. You could see cherry layer, but you don't taste cherry in the layers, but you taste cherry with the pistachio cream inside, as they had added couple of them with pistachio cream. So overall for the price and how fast they get sold out, and how far away it is for me, I don't think so I'll go back just to go to the bakery, but if I'm in the area will stop by to try other stuff may be. read more
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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

A family member recommended this bakery and patisserie so decided to try it. Was certainly not disappointed. The taste is as wonderful as the presentation and the look. Very artistic with premium ingredients which would appeal to most tastes. I plan on trying other items for sure. Their ordering system is very seamless and the pick up is very convenient. It doesn't hurt that they are 10 minutes away from me read more

I ordered the pistachio-cherry croissant and the almond cream croissant cake (which I gifted). The pistachio-cherry croissant has a green pistachio cream filling, it's not too sweet, it's perfect! There's a few savory sweet bites as you work through the flaky croissant. I'm so happy I got to try them before the new location opens up. The owner is so sweet. You can tell these were made with love; the presentation is simple, but elegant. Looking forward to the new shop opening!! read more
