It's infuriating that I can't just walk into a bakery and get these treats on demand! I was…read moreunfortunate enough to try their incredible vegan chocolate cupcakes at an event, and now I'm hopelessly hooked. It was stunningly rich, moist, and flavorful, not just a pure injection of sugar straight to the brain. As surprised as I was to find any vegan option to begin with, I'm even more shocked at how masterfully baked it was; definitely not a token offering. They also have gluten-free options, too! For the sake of my wallet and my waist, maybe it's a good thing I can't just pick one up on a whim.

Bright colors are vibrantly displayed throughout the bake shop. The shop sells cakes, cupcakes, pastries and cookies. All the goods sold were prominently displayed and equally eye-catching. I bought gluten free everything and double chocolate cookies. Interestingly, the gluten free cookie tasted like any other everything cookie with unique textures and flavoring. Both types of cookies were delightful to eat. Alex, my server, was very friendly with a great sense of humor and shared some history regarding the bake shop including a second location that has since closed.

The interior is just as impressive, with a warm and welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. I ordered a large sugar-free vanilla iced matcha latte with almond milk, and it was absolutely delicious. Not only was the flavor spot-on, but the size was impressive too. Out of all the coffee shops I've visited in Austin, this place truly stands out when it comes to generous drink sizes. Their selection of sweet and savory treats is excellent, and I was especially happy to see several gluten-free options available. In addition to my latte, I tried the vegetarian egg bites, and they were fantastic--fresh, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. If you're looking for a great place to grab a drink, a snack, or just relax for a bit, this spot is definitely worth a visit. Everything from the atmosphere to the food and drinks exceeded my expectations. I'll absolutely be back, and I highly recommend giving it a try. You won't be disappointed!

3 stars for the design, but 5 stars for the flavor!…read more The first 2 photos was the inspiration pictures I sent over, as I was hoping to have the cake recreated as closely as possible for a wedding photoshoot. The third and fourth photos is the cake I received. My husband picked it up for me, otherwise I likely would have asked if the lettering could be changed before leaving. Unfortunately, the overall design missed the mark for me. The color was much more yellow than I had requested (ivory or natural white) and I really didn't care for the font used for the lettering, especially compared to the inspiration photo. That being said, the cake itself was INSANELY good! The flavor and texture were absolutely delicious, and because of that, I would definitely order from Hayley Cakes again. Next time, I'll just be a little more specific about the design details. Overall, while the appearance wasn't what I had envisioned, the cake tasted amazing!

In fact, after 2 or 3 days in the fridge, the leftovers were frankly so dry we threw them away. A few weeks before that, I had bought her a cake for her birthday at Chez Zee and boy they know how to make a moist cake (but overly sweet). Other than that, the place is immaculate and the service is good.

I've driven by this place 100's of times and today I to finally decided to stop by and try it! The parking lot was empty but it was 3:00pm on a Thursday so it made sense. I went to the front of building and was let in by whom I assume is the owner! She was very nice and after telling me what cupcakes they still had I I ended up ordering a tiramisu Cupcake! Man I was not disappointed! It was a bit cold probably taken out of a fridge to make sure the Icing but that didn't deter me. I took my first bite and Wow! The cupcake was truly airy and fluffy with a great soft consistency. The frosting was delicious not overly sweet and did not leave a buttery texture in my mouth. The center of the cupcake had an exquisite coffee taste (tiramisu go figure lol) that didn't overpower the cupcake but definitely amplified the rest of the cupcake. I of course devoured before I even left the parking lot. All in all was one of the best Cupcakes I've ever had!

I didn't sample the bakery food this time, although everything looked tempting. I opted for iced tea, and they absolutely got it right. A generous glass of excellent tea, which is surprisingly hard to find at coffee shops these days. The folks behind the counter were genuinely friendly, service was quick, and the whole place had that wonderfully eclectic, slightly funky South Austin character. Nothing fancy or pretentious, just a comfortable neighborhood hangout with plenty of personality. You can tell Captain Quack's has earned its place in the hearts of the locals. Great atmosphere, good people, and a little Austin weirdness in all the right ways. I'll be back, and next time I'm trying something from that bakery case.

Great place to meet for coffeee with a friend…read more They have room for small groups, large groups, etc. It used to be three separate businesses, but the former Strange Brew coffee shop combined all three into one huge space. There is also an expansive outdoor sitting area so you can enjoy the sunshine, in addition to the tables in front. Service is excellent, on par with their other locations. And the desserts are really amazing. I recommend trying their decorated sugar cookies. They have specials every day where you can get one style for $1(?). Also the pies and cakes and lemon bars and etc. should all be tasted. I do wish they had better breakfast and lunch options when it comes to savory food. And also one of the rooms is super dark. Maybe build in some extra windows? There is plenty of parking. You can order your cakes to go and bring one to your next dinner party, as it's a full bakery in addition to a coffee shop.
