It's no secret that I love bread and this bakery is going to easily become my go to. How I failed to come here for so long is beyond a mystery to me. ThoroughBread has large huking loaves of artisan bread, especially sourdough that has great aeration, chew and that dark mahogany crust that is a signature of good bread. But besides just the carbs, they also got killer cookies. They are reminiscent of the Levain style of cookies (i.e. hulking fist size cookies) that are not too sweet, have some slight doughiness to them and a potent crisp edge. My favorite is the pb&j and that's coming from someone who does not like peanut butter (unless in large quantities) generally speaking, but even I have to admit it was really good. Strong peanut butter flavor that you don't normally find in peanut butter cookies filled with jelly that brings the childhood throwback memories that isn't too sweet. The banana nutella is also good - it has the taste of chocolate banana bread honestly with the texture of a cookie. Oh and if you come early in the morning, they also sell discounted day old cookies that can easily be revitalized in the microwave for a few seconds. #steal Lastly, if you're in the mood for a hearty breakfast/brunch, I would definitely recommend the burridoughs. It's basically a thin pastry kolache with some cheese crust and stuffed to the brim. You know how most kolaches are mostly dough and a little filling? Flip that here - it's stuffed with eggs and if you're coming on a weekend, Terry Black's brisket. Ya, a little salsa to pair with that and you're in for a treat. It's definitely a hefty breakfast but it's the perfect way to start your morning. It's also pretty affordable as it doesn't cost any more than say, two breakfast tacos elsewhere (or two or three small kolaches). read more

Tiny neighborhood place with maybe four free spots in the lot. Tables outside to eat. Burridough and assorted cookies were tasty, but the avocado in the burridough threw me off. Not bad but maybe next time I'll just get a kolache. read more

Awesome sourdough, great cookies and coffee. This is a really cool little local shop with a friendly staff and good vibes. Reminds me of the "real" Austin I grew up in. Make sure to check it out if you're in the neighborhood. It's a really neat little local business. read more

Omg. Chocolate chip cookie fresh out of the oven? Yes please. Soft t-shirts? Yup. We'll be back. Credit card only.

Best cookie EVVVVAAA! Not sure which ones we had, BUT, they were AMAZING! Our friend who lives close by packed us some for the trip back to CA. (she knows how hubby loves sweets). Can't wait to try the other goodies! Honestly, we have lots of great bakeries in the Bay Area, though I have to admit, this beats all of them, so far. Can't wait to return to try all the other baked goods! I don't even like to eat lots of sweet stuff, but these are irresistable! read more

I've had their wonderful bread and yummy cookies before at an event . Definitely some of the best bread and cookies In Austin! Today we went to their store to have a brisket and a ham Burridoughs. So delicious! Can't wait to try the avocado one! read more

ThoroughBread - Brisket and Ham Burridoughs - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

The absolute best cookies in Austin! When ever I'm in the area I make it a priority to stop by and grab some cookies.

Excellent bread. Incredible cookies. Delicious breakfast "burridoughs." Friendly service.

This charming little establishment is seriously impressive! Upon entering, you are greeted with a smile, a genuine interaction, and the smell of fresh baked bread. The loaves and boules are beautiful and the cookies are huge and inviting. The coffee selection is simple, but carefully and thoughtfully selected. I purchased three cookies (banana Nutella, PB&J, and chocolate chip) and a white sourdough to go. Each one of the cookies was perfect and offered something to suit individual tastes. The dough is moist, buttery, and not too sweet as to accommodate the sweeter fillings, which I can really appreciate. The banana Nutella is creative and the most popular since, well....it's stuffed with Nutella! While insanely delicious, I'm a sucker for a classic chocolate chip so that was actually my favorite. Let's just say that if you're a fan of chocolate the chocolate to dough ratio will not disappoint. I was skeptical of the PB&J because authentic PB can go so wrong in a cookie and often require a sickening level of sweetness, but ThoroughBread has managed to limit the sweetness to the fresh jam that you'll find sitting atop PB nestled within the center of the cookie. Perfect. Now the sourdough. I've been on a quest to find AUTHENTIC sourdough and I'm glad to say I have finally found it. The texture, the air pockets, the chewiness, the natural sour taste, the crust, and the sheen were all spot on. Upon first glance, you may think that everything on the menu is expensive, but once you realize that they use quality ingredients, make everything from scratch, and make huge and hefty products you'll realize A) it's worth every penny B) you're paying for quality C)you're supporting local businesses. We're lucky to have this gem in the neighborhood! read more

this is a wonderful local business. i recommend it every chance i get, always a fantastic stop in the neighborhood for delicious fresh & hearty bread read more

I bought a white loaf here and let me just tell you it was the most delicious bread I've ever tasted. I also bought an egg and avocado "burridough" which was phenomenal and a giant cookie (which has yet to be consumed). Staff who served me was very kind and helpful. Will def be back for more. read more

The cookies, the coffee, the burridoughs and fresh breads... I honestly dream about that rye sourdough from time to time. Super friendly staff. Fast service. Couldn't recommend ThoroughBread enough! read more

I was finally able to come here at around 3 pm on a Saturday. Sadly, they close early on weekends, hence the finally. Anyways, I got the banana nutella cookie. At first, it seemed a bit plain to me and just tasted like banana. However, after a few bites in, I started to see the Nutella oozing out *drool*. It tastes exactly like how you'd expect-- banana and nutella. I liked the fact that the cookie itself wasn't too sugary or sweet, it felt more natural. I could see myself coming back if I were in the area, maybe just to try other flavors. read more

We were really happy, like many, to have a new spot open in the neighborhood. My husband and I, plus our dog, walked over one morning recently to check out the burridoughs. They are good in concept but seriously lacking in flavor. We both got the avocado, egg, and cheese since we do not eat ham which was in the other options. I'm not sure if they needed more salt or what, but they basically had no flavor until we added the salsa they provided. We were fortunate that there was a bread available and took home a sourdough. The sourdough was fantastic and stayed fresh for a few days which is about how long it took to use it all. The brewed coffee was good, but note they do not have espresso-based coffee drinks. We'll be back I am sure and I'll try a burridough again so see if they have improved. read more

Went in to browse and most of the bread had been sold for the day, but the very nice lady at the counter said they would have a cinnamon raisin loaf ready in 15. So I ordered that and 3 different types of cookies, the banana nutella, the chocolate chip pecan and the peanut butter and jelly. All of them were amazing and the bread was so delicious. Easily the best cinnamon raisin loaf I have ever had. Very friendly service and great sweets. Can't recommend enough. read more

It's nice to have a sweet new restaurant/bakery right in the neighborhood. I've loved the hot cookies I've gotten as well as the really tasty burridoughs, which are like a cross between a breakfast taco and a kolache made with a delicious crispy crust. I haven't tried any of their loaves of bread yet, but will soon. Nice people, adorable cafe. read more

The best cookies in Austin! I haven't tried any of their other baked goodies, but the cookies are amazing. I've tried the PB&J and the Banana Nutella and both are awesome. They're both not too sweet which is great and the gooey filling inside is a nice surprise. The filling:cookie ratio is just right. The edges are nice and crispy and the middle is still soft and moist. The PB&J isn't too peanut buttery which I like because the jelly isn't overpowered and that's what makes it really unique. The banana in the Banana Nutella also isn't too strong which is also good because the more Nutella the better in my opinion! The other bread they have looks good so I'd love to try it sometime, but if you're looking for a great cookie as a treat or a little gift, this place won't disappoint. read more

Well I'll say I'm biased a little because I work next door at Kaleido Properties - but Ryan has created a neighborhood sensation that will certainly continue to grow. The bread is the best in town, the cookies are absolutely incredible, and the burridoughs are one of the more inventive breakfast items I've seen in a long time. Don't take my word for it tho - come try for yourself! And if all this isn't good enough: Thoroughbread is a non tipping establishment and they keep a tip jar and donate it each month to a different local non-profit! December is AustinBatCave.org! read more

Dang, I've been reading about this place so decided to swing by. They only had white loaves for sale because all others on shelf were pre ordered. I bought the white loaf for $7 and it was still warm. Omg. Had to start eating in the car. It's so light with just the right chew and the crust is lightly crusty. This is a perfectly baked fresh loaf. Next time I'll order ahead so I can get one of their sourdough loaves. The cookies are really good as well. Nicely done guys! read more

Best. Cookies. Around. The PBJ cookie is a must eat. I didn't get their sourdough bread this go around but I'll be back for a loaf before long. The customer service was fantastic. I was also told they have breakfast sandwiches with brisket on Saturday and Sunday. A must visit!! read more

ThoroughBread - Cookies and front desk - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

ThoroughBread is making the BEST cookie I think I ever had! Let's talk about the the peanut butter and jelly cookie! First all their cookies are big and this one is a peanut butter flavored cookie with jelly in the middle. I think there is a bit of creamy peanut butter too. It is the most perfect cookie in every way! The other cookies they offer are all delicious too. The banana Nutella cookie is a banana flavored cookie (reminds of banana bread) with creamy chocolate hazelnut in the middle and it hits the spot. The traditional chocolate chip with or without pecans is nothing to pass up that's for sure! They also off sourdough breads, traditional bread loafs and burridoughs. You can order online or call it in. When you arrive they will bring to your car or set it outside for you. Super easy! I'm looking forward to trying their breads soon. If you are looking for some of the best cookies you've ever had go here! read more

To be honest, thorough bread may be the death to me. Every time I go I special order 4 of their peanut butter cookies stuffed with Nutella and eat all of them in 2 days. The bread itself is delicious. I'm not the biggest fan of olives so I can't say much for their olive loafs but their plain white loafs are fantastic. Sweet and perfectly moist. Pricing at thorough bread is fair with cookies being 4 dollars each (they're HUGE) and loafs is bread being 9-10 dollars I believe. Overall, I think thorough bread is one of the best bakeries in Austin and I'm sure the fact they always sell out early proves that. I highly recommend thorough bread to tourists and locals alike! read more

ThoroughBread has quickly become my favorite bread bakery in Austin. My personal favorite is the olive sourdough, but all their sourdough boules are wonderful. I grew up in Paris, and their bread would compete with the best bakeries there -- it's really that good. Breads sold out almost every day. Make sure to order in advance, and you'll get fresh, out the oven, yummy bread by 2pm. read more

This small family-run bakery has a huge heart and is a wonderful part of the Zilker community. Their warm giant cookies are SO good. Their breads and burridoughs are also tasty. They do a great job with COVID safety too. read more

these filled cookies are super good fresh, but conveniently enough they reheat great too! it's a big bonus the banana foster (nutella filled) is a favorite of course, but the PB&J is tasty too. The savory baked goods are great as well, though since they're a bit bigger it's hard to try them all in one sitting like you can do with the cookies. definitely recommend! read more

The best cookies I have ever had!!! The bread is so crispy on the outside and so soft and delish on the inside. Did not disappoint. read more

ThoroughBread - The BEST peanut butter and jelly cookie I have ever eaten!!! - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

My newest obsession!! The bread is INCREDIBLE. We tried the rye sourdough, which I highly recommend. Super fresh, excellent crust, we will probably eat the whole loaf in 2 days.. It's just too good! The cookies are some of the best I have ever had. They have that amazing homemade taste, and are totally unique. I have never had cookies like this anywhere. Make sure you try the peanut butter and jelly and banana nutella cookies. They are to die for!! read more

I've been trying to get cookies from here for 3 days and finally made it before they closed. The banana Nutella was delicious 8/10 and the PB&J was amazing 9/10 read more

Try the cookies - the best chocolate chip cookies that I've ever had (and that includes Grandma's)! Bought a loaf of the day-old sandwich bread - phenomenal!! The very friendly cashier offered freezing suggestions in case we didn't eat the loaf quick enough - not a problem at all. So glad I found this place! Definitely a stop when I'm in Austin. read more

Tried the Banana Nutella cookie and the pb&j cookie. They were both amazing and we will definitely come back

I've been to ThoroughBread on a few occasions and have tried several of their items. To start, their cookies are killer!! They are absolutely massive and super delicious - I would highly recommend stopping over here for one. On the other hand, their coffee was a disappointment. I only got coffee from here once, so maybe it was an off day, but it tasted burnt. I was really excited to try their burridoughs on another occasion, which are essentially elevated hot pockets. I tried the avocado/egg/cheese one, and re-heating this with the avocado made the avocado taste a little funky, so I'm not sure that I would get that again. However, they are large enough to be a full meal and pretty cheap, so it's a good value! read more

Do yourself a favor and get to this spot as fast as you can. So far we've tried the whole wheat, olive and rye sourdough loaves and it's the best bread in town. The cookies are just incredible. My husband prefers the banana Nutella; I like the chocolate chip (and I don't typically like sweets). The burridoughs are great. Items are usually warm, as they bake there all day long. They are going to outgrow this space quickly because the baked goods are in high demand and it's busy at any given time of day. Ryan, the owner and baker, is super nice. We're so lucky that it's just blocks from our house! read more
