Best cinnamon rolls I've ever had! I didn't think it was possible for a cinnamon roll to taste this good without icing. It was so dense and delicious, the outside was a bit crispy and coated with sugar while the inside was soft and a little doughy, it was amazing. My boyfriend's pastry was good, not my favorite though. It was a cheese pastry with apples, raisins, and nuts in it. read more

Best cinnamon rolls ever--not the usual kind with frosting but flaky with cinnamon and sugar.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Pleasant sunny dining room, nice coffee, agreeable people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lots of mainstream cakes, cookies, etc. Just don't get the ham quiche. Granular texture, overcooked, little flavor. read more

Cutest drink ever? One shot espresso with whipped cream, for here. These are good people. Friendly. Completely engaged and they like their customers. You can be happy alone or meet a friend or many friends here and wile away the hours at one of the many tables in two rooms. Their carrot cake is my fave, but I have no problems with their chocolate chocolate cake. Or their adorable gingerbread men. I have had better croissants. read more

This review is mainly for what I consider the star of Upper Crust bakery... their AMAZING cinnamon rolls (and this is coming from someone who is not even a fan of cinnamon rolls) Honestly my favorite go to item on their menu. It isn't like a traditional cinnamon roll. These a crispy in some areas, soft in others and have many layers of sweet and caramel hints. Simply magnificent. 5/5 Pro tip... order the cinnamon rolls online ahead of time, I've been there a few times when they completely ran out. On my last visit there, I also ventured outside of the cinnamon rolls and tried their sausage rolls and spinach/mushroom quiche. While the sausage rolls were pretty tasty with a substantial sausage on the center, they probably taste even better fresh out of the oven. The quiche in my opinion was bland and didn't have enough salt for my tastes. Overall, Upper Crust Bakery is a must try. Especially their cinnamon rolls, you won't be disappointed! read more

I've been coming here for over 16 plus years! So delicious! A must have when coming into town. Sometimes they sell out of their famous cinnamon rolls, but not today! This place provides so many baked, sweet items that it can be overwhelming for the sweet tooth lover to select just one item. The PB cookie is huge, non crumbly and super yum to my hubbs tum. If you're wanting something sweet, stop here and grab you a box of sweets! Worth every penny, promise you! read more

Simply great food and baked goods with that honest Austin funky jive. Service is prompt. Advice: if you're looking for some of the best bakery items in Austin, get here early. Everybody else knows this and they sell out read more

Great counter service; friendly and lnowledgeable. Both the tuna fish and the avocado sandwiches were delicious. We tried the jalapeñoï cheese croissant and it was surprisingly awesome too. read more

Coming from the Northeast where bakeries and bagels dominate, I guess you could say I'm a stickler for this kind of stuff. Walked with my wife over to Upper Crust and it was worth it! Nice old school bakery vibe that felt like home. Please was buzzing with ample tables to sit down and eat. I got the apple turnover for myself and gluten free chocolate chip peanut butter cookie for my wife and both were really good, especially the soft flakey apple turnover that wasn't overally sweet. read more

I want to come back here to try more of their pastries but so far this is definitely one of my favorite bakeries! I got the cinnamon roll, cheese danish, and red velvet cupcake to try and - let me tell you - their cinnamon rolls are a GAME changer. It was honestly sooo good and I probably will go back tomorrow for another one. Its moist, chewy, but also crunchy on the outside and perfectly balanced with cinnamon - UGH so good. Their cheese danish was also pretty good but just not as good compared to the cinnamon roll. Same with the red velvet cupcake. Both really good but the cinnamon roll was my favorite! Parking here is kinda difficult as its located at a busy intersection, but its worth struggling to park for those cinnamon rolls. If youre in the area, definitely stop by and try some of their pastries! read more

Upper Crust is one of the few remaining old-Austin gems! Consistently great food and service at very reasonable prices. Love Upper Crust!!

Pros: Cute interior and lots of outdoor seating Really great sandwiches with well flavored salads (chicken and egg salad) and great homemade sourdough. Loved the raspberry cookie. Usually the cookie can be dry but their cookie could've stood alone without the jelly and was even better with it! The cheesecake filled chocolate muffin was super moist and flavorful. Cons: Sells out of stuff! We wanted to try the cinnamon rolls but we'll have to try again another day. read more

TLDR: Excellent all-around bakery, though beware of the parking situation! Upper Crust has excellent sandwiches, superb pastry, and friendly service. They do get busy in the mornings but the line moves and there's plenty of seating. Love their croissants and their strawberry/rhubarb tarts, too! Parking is limited and can be hazardous when pulling out if you're right in front of the shop. Be careful, this is a treat worth the risk! This place scores a 4 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either. read more

Amazing raisin challah! Everyone loved it. Not a crumb left after Break-the-fast - delicious

Cakes are delicious. Service is always pleasant. Could use some really good danish and cookies. When ordering ahead, cakes are always ready and waiting for pickup. read more

Pastries, coffee, soups, sandwiches, and salads. Super busy on a Saturday so if you're in a hurry, be sure to order online ahead of time. Also, they have a separate line if you're just ordering drinks! The pastry cases are intimidating but wondrous! Honestly don't think you can go wrong. I was wavering between their banana bread and sour cream coffee cake and the guy taking my order said banana bread without hesitation. It was, brace yourself...moist! Also dense and had that nice hearty BNB flavor. I also got a cup of tortilla soup which was super economical ($3ish) and came with three slices of bread for dipping. The dollop of avocado on top was impressive and I loved the ancho chili purée base for it. Would order again in a heartbeat. *Not that many bfast options, as it were! read more

Post covid they have closed inside for customers, they have a window with a glass separations in between, you place order there and they bring your order out, they have couple of tables out though. There was a elderly person taking order and he had a bit of earring problem, so how much ever loud I was talking, he had a bit of a problem but he was a sweet, and he added couple of items which I dint ask for and charged god it. But as soon they bought out I noticed it. We ordered jalapeño cream cheese croissant, cinnamon rolls and brownie, but he had added elephant ears(2) and charged for it. So instead of elephant ear I asked either crossaint or cinnamon roll and told if there's a difference, I m happy to pay for it, but he was just nodding and gave cream cheese Danish and dry fruits Danish, I m keep on saying, we dint want those but he was not able to hear me properly then I gave up. Cinnamon rolls & jalapeño cream cheese croissant : 5stars Brownie: stars Dry fruits Danish: 1star, it was overly sweet. Cream cheese danish: 0 stars, cream cheese was so sour, had to spit it out, and dint eat it. I love cinnamon sugar rolls( without glaze )and this place does the best, it's cinnamony, not overly sweet, moist, fresh, it's just perfect. My son and husband loved crossaints, Brownie was just little dry but overall pretty good. read more

The cinnamon rolls are absolutely the best! You will not be disappointed. Amazing little bakery.

I'm not a fan of carrot cake or cream cheese frosting but I ordered one from Upper Crust for a birthday and it was DELICIOUS. The frosting itself was light and fluffy. The cake was super fresh. When I think of carrot cake, I think dense - this was opposite. I might be a carrot cake convert! I go to Upper Crust 1-2x week. Love the sourdough bread. Texan croissant is delicious too. A favorite place for coffee and lattes too. Quite a gem! read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but the pastries my husband and I ordered were very "meh". Although, I do feel like they were reasonably priced. Our pastries were initially stale, but tasted better after warming in the microwave. I would avoid the croissants, but definitely go back for the cinnamon roll pastry. read more

If you prefer lighter, Asian style cakes, this place is not for you. I wish I could give this a 5 star review but I can't. For me, the cakes are too sweet. I got a slice of the Italian crème and carrot cake and both tasted dry and overly sweet. The Italian crème cake had good flavor. The carrot cake tasted like a normal carrot cake. Nothing special about it! read more

Not as great as it once was. I was sad to hear they no longer served their original ham and cheese croissants and they don't offer WiFi if you are try to work from the store. Coffee is still good, staff is friendly. I was relieved to see they still had their famous cinnamon rolls. read more

I wanted a cake for an election party and asked my friend, a pastry chef. She said Upper Crust is where she goes for goodies. I ordered an Italian Vanilla Cake. I wanted a fun message and three fun staff brainstormed with me. I'll let you guess what an Austinite put on the cake, but by the end of the night that cake was the only thing that kept us from weeping. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great ambiance and sandwich foods.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Whether passing through or taking up residence, Upper Crust is keeping Austin community grounded for 38+ years. The most beautiful selection of fresh-baked pastries in town (local tip: show early and catch them warm from the oven) and better-than-homemade chicken salad (my favorite comfort food) on your choice of handmade bread. It has all the trappings of your favorite bistro, so grab & go or stay awhile and muse over the surrealist art, chat up the owner for what weird is REALLY about, and meet some of our neighbors. read more

They have good pastries. And I usually get the egg salad sandwich which is pretty decent too. Not sure about much outside of that tho. Get there early! Sells out quick! read more

Great fresh sandwiches and friendly staff. Amazing desserts all made in house. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Busy at lunch but not too loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had a ham sandwich with everything and it was great. My wife loved her chicken salad. Save room for a piece of cake or take home some of the specialty cookies. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Friendly atmosphere[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and cinnamon roll was amazing. My husband loved chocolate cookie.

I placed an order online and within 15 minutes my food and coffee were ready. Curbside pickup was super easy, too. I ordered a chai latte with soy milk, which came out just the way I like it, not too sweet. The cookies were good and chewy. The ham and cheese croissant was good, though not enough ham in my opinion. The blueberry muffin was good, too. Overall a great neighborhood bakery that has very reasonable prices. Give it a try! read more

This place is a good bakery with decent seating. It's a good place to chat or read, but not work since there are not many outlets and there's no WiFi. The workers were friendly and parking was convenient. I probably won't be back unless I'm grabbing a box of baked goods, like their cinnamon rolls. read more

Yummm. We were told to try the cinnamon buns. We did, and they were unbelievably delicious in both flavor and texture. We also got spinach quiche which was good, it was nice and eggy. The staff was really nice, patient, and welcoming, even with a line of people forming. They had both indoor and outdoor seating and it was spacious and clean. What a treat! And really good prices too. read more
