    Blueberry Scones - very soft
    Matt L.

    The cookies here are distinct in their puck-size form, but the texture is incredibly soft yet still with some structural integrity that holds it together. PBJ COOKIE: Pretty decent. This cookie (as with all their cookies) has the thinnest golden brown, light crisp coat on the outside, giving way to this very soft interior. It errs more on the peanut butter side than the jelly. Would probably not crave it again, since I prefer much more jelly in the center. BLUEBERRY SCONE: Incredibly soft. It does not fall into the traps of a dry cafe scone, so you know that the butter was properly incorporated into this.

    Located next to convenience store with a small parking spot that has only 4 spots shared with other business, this grab and go place has some really delicious bread and cookies. Their cookies are a little more on denser bigger side, kind of like Levain style cookies except with more filling in the middle if you get a stuffed Ollie and not quite the crispy bottom that Levain bakery cookies achieve. I got their classic chocolate chip cookie, which was good and for being such a big cookie filled with chocolate chips I am glad it wasn't overly sweet though you can definitely split one cookie with two people. I also got the Banana Nutella cookie which reminds me if banana bread decided it wanted to make a little sandwich with Nutella in the middle and then shaped in cookie form. It's more of a doughy cookie than chewy or crispy cookie. We also got the chocolate peanut butter cookie and you better love peanut butter because the peanut butter is strong, but delicious. We also got the wheat sourdough loaf and the crust on it is incredible and I loved that they do the fancy markings on top to like one the bread/steam to escape (I should know what it's called but I never got into my sourdough era). Even for being made with wheat four and having blend of seeds, I did not find it too overwhelming and found it delicious to make a grilled cheese and loved that even though it's healthy it didn't taste overly grainy or overly "healthy" if that makes sense. It had a really great crust and interior and some nice little bubbles. I also got the avocado, egg, and cheese burridough which I thought it was ok - I wish there was more filling, I found that the bread to filling ratio was more bread than filling, and wish the filling had more salt/flavor. I am glad it came with mild salsa to dip it in to give it that extra kick/salt it needed. Probably my least favorite out of everything I tried. Parking lot wise they have a very small lot shared with other businesses. Don't park at the convienient store next door. There is also street parking. There is no eating inside, but they do have a small bench outside (unshaded) if you want to enjoy the treats right then and there.

    Avocado, Egg & Cheese

    Service was in and out and they don't play with these pastries/cookies! Both are generous portions and could easily share between two people. The avocado/egg/cheese was very filling. However parking was very difficult. Visited on a Tuesday morning and had to circle around the block three times to find parking.

    Unassuming building but great sourdough bread and solid cookie . If you buy the day old one, you get 1.50 off - Sign me up. You know if they only have like 10 things in the menu, it'll all be good.

    Banana Nutella & Chocolate Covered Strawberry - A person is holding an open cardboard box filled with cookies inside a car. The cookies appear to be chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin varieties. The car's dashboard, steering wheel, and windshield are visible, with some outdoor elements seen through the windshield. The person’s hand and part of their leg are also in the frame.

    some of the best cookies ive had in the city! super gooey in the middle with that crunchy exterior. kinda a drive for us so will be visiting sparingly, keeps it special that way

    Full inside shot!

    So glad I found this place on my search for the best sourdough in Austin. If not number 1, this is certainly in the running! A very unassuming building tucked away in the neighborhoods south of Barton Springs, limited space inside and out, but what this place does they do exceptionally. They have 3 options for Sourdough daily: white, wheat/seeded, and rye. Each of these have their own strength, but my favorite has slowly become the wheat loaf! With 3-4 different seeds folded in for extra texture and heartiness, this loaf slices beautifully and satisfies fully. They also do sweet/savory pastries and baked goods as pictured! While generally not a full service establishment, the staff has always been kind and informative. Definitely stop here and try some killer bread. A new favorite and hidden gem!

    It's as big as my hand - A hand with a gold bracelet holds a large, irregularly shaped chocolate chip cookie with visible chocolate chunks. The cookie appears freshly baked, with a golden-brown color and a slightly cracked surface. The background features a speckled granite countertop, suggesting an indoor kitchen setting.

    Updating my review. Unfortunately they no longer add salt sprinkles upon request but they can warm up the cookie for ya. There's two picnic benches in the front so you can immediately enjoy your cookie and coffee. These are the best choc chip cookies ever. I can not emphasize this enough! Pro tip: Grab a cookie here, a breakfast taco/drink at the Bluebonnet Mart next door, and bring your picnic to Zilker park

    I've been on a chocolate chip cookie binge as of late and I came across *many* people who swore by thoroughbread. I hauled my ass early on a Saturday morning to ensure I could get my hands on one. And upon my first bite, lemme just say I was blown away. This is *the* chocolate chip cookie spot in all of Austin. Also the lady at the cash register was the sweetest (no pun intended) making small talk and running to open the door for me as my hands were full. You'll definitely see me around here more often!

    Chocolate Chip & Pecan - A freshly baked chocolate chip and pecan cookie with a slightly cracked surface is placed on parchment paper inside a box. The cookie appears thick and chewy, with visible chocolate chips and pecans. A colorful sticker with the text 'THOROUGHBREAD' and a pattern of various geometric shapes is positioned beneath the parchment paper, indicating the bakery's branding.

    So this is a very, very, very small bakery. You basically walk in and you're right there at the counter so it's definitely grab and go. That being said, I consider myself a cookie connoisseur and decided to give this place a try. I normally don't like the big style cookies because they taste too cake'y, like a very popular TickTock chain people over rate. This was a very large cookie that actually tasted like a cookie. I was surprised at how they were able to integrate both crispy and soft elements of a regular cookie just larger. I definitely enjoyed it and if I'm ever back in town I'll try some more. Also, NO SALT NEEDED! Not sure how that's become another overated trend too but trust me they're fine as is!

    Have heard all about Uncle Tetsu and was walking when I saw it on the map, so obviously I had to…read morevisit. I believe this may be a smaller Uncle Tetsu and might not have every item but they have most things. They had samples available and for my first visit, I was able to get a good impression of select items! I had the opportunity to sample a piece of their cheesecake biscotti and matcha cheesecake. I asked for a recommendation as a first time and was told I have to try the original to start. Service seemed friendly but felt a little rushed for me to hurry up. Cheesecake Biscotti - from my small slice, I was impressed. It's an airy cookie that's baked to a crispy finish. The exterior is crispy but the inside is fluffy, it's a fun texture that simply feels remarkable. Plus the overall cheesecake flavor is a delightful sweetness. Matcha Cheesecake - I was impressed with the softness. The small sample was so light yet ready to fall from the toothpick at any moment. It was just so delicate. Matcha was present though it's hard to say how strong from a quick sample so I'll reserve on that. Original Cheesecake - now for the real experience, it's no exaggeration to say that this quite literally melts in your mouth. It's almost like the cake simply dissolves, leaving a cheesecake flavor behind. Super fluffy, light, and airy, the cheesecake is delicate and when you eat it, your taste buds light up as if a spotlight is emphasizing the presentation. Fantastic end to any meal as well, especially because it's not heavy at all.

    Why 5 stars? Because apparently I'm a Japanese cheesecake guy now…read more --- --- --- While eating lunch nearby, I Yelped "sweets" and Uncle Tetsu was one of the first places to pop up. Japanese cheesecake, you say? I don't even really know what that is, but I'm intrigued. So I took my intrigued self down the road and popped in here. Upon walking in, there was some treats in the display case that were maybe donut-sized, at most. So I thought, hey, I'll go ahead and order three of these things because I'm a growing boy. The cashier rung me up and I tapped my watch on the Apple Pay thing immediately. But before I even realized what I'd done, I saw her bringing out 3 boxes that were about 3x bigger than the things in the case. it turned out, those were some kind of little tarts, while the cheesecakes are, you guessed it, about 3x bigger than those. So my little post lunch snack just turned into 3 cakes, of which I'd be taking some home to the family. But hey, it turns out, I love Japanese cheesecake, despite my mishap. Pandan was the highlight of the bunch (also grabbed an Oreo and an Ube). Some people might not like the texture, but that was the highight for me. It makes it seem not overwhelmingly sweet, but it also totally hits the spot for that ever-constant sugar craving after I eat. This was a huge win for me, despite getting way more than I came for.
