“ Quick birthday treat for a friend and a cranberry walnut bread slice for me. I must have come at a good time as there were no lines. The cashier rang me up pretty quickly and I was on my way. However, before I left a cute little girl engaged me a conversation that only a one year could do. Children are so wonderful. I love that so much brings them joy. As adults, we should embrace the small things in life that brings joy and happiness. ”
“ Wanted to try something new today and choose the strawberry pastry. Will recommend it for sure! I particularly enjoyed that the strawberry tasted fresh and crisp. The cream cheese ratio is perfect, this is definitely an item I look forward to ordering again. ”
“ Ordered the 6" red velvet cake for a birthday at our office. It was delicious. Everyone enjoyed it. ”
“ I stand corrected! I do not see a way to edit reviews or respond to owners. Well well well... no wonder Upper Crust has NOT succumbed to mediocrity often due to being bought by a bigger company. They are under the same ownership! Woo hoo! ”
“ 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! ”
“ Wonderful bakery with top quality items. Love the carrot cake and everything else I've ordered. Service is super quick and uber friendly. Highly recommended. ”
“ Food 5 stars!! The quiche was fresh! The cinnamon roll was flaky and amazing. The cream cheese croissants was so good and the coffee yum! I took some home to enjoy later. I can't wait! Service 4 stars. Employees barely smiled, they did the job and the line moved quickly. Nothing to complain about just not extra friendly. It was pretty busy too. ”
“ One of my favorite bakeries! The cakes are amazing and the service is great. This bakery is always busy and the parking lot gets full quickly! They have a delicious assortment of baked goods with indoor seating consisting of round cafe tables and chairs. Outdoor picnic table seating is also available. This is my go to bakery for special occasions! ”
“ Much of my 20's were spent at Uppercrust Bakery, as I went to UT and then worked in the area. It's such a sweet, chill, local gem! My favorite & most sentimental part of Uppercrust is getting a giant cinnamon roll and cup of coffee (both of which are SO good here), and sitting for a couple hours with my bestie out on their patio. Now I bring my kids when we are back in Austin for a visit, because Uppercrust has become THEIR sentimental place too. Other menu items worthy of a mention: their cheese soup and tuna salad. Absolutely delicious. Go early on weekends if you want to get a cinnamon roll. They're famous for these, and they sell out. Also note that they are closed on Sundays! ”
“ Wednesday 7/24/2024 & Thursday 7/25/2024 I was in Austin last year and missed out going here but now I'm back to officially try this bakery. On the first day, I was too late (came around 2 pm) to get cinnamon rolls as they were all sold out so I ended up getting a carrot cake slice $3.98. On the second day, I arrived significantly earlier than the previous day and got the cinnamon roll $3.25, Apple turnover $3.85, and apple pie slice $4.95. - The carrot cake was the best item I had and tasted better with each bite. - The cinnamon roll was good and soft but tasted significantly better when warmed up. Also the rolls are covered in cinnamon sugar rather than icing. - The apple turnover was a huge MISS: there was a lacking of apple filling and the bread texture was somewhat burnt. - The apple pie was alright but I did not expect it to be very cold when I got it but after warming it up it was a bit better. Overall, it's a decent bakery but the main items I'd recommend would of course be the carrot cake and the cinnamon roll. ”
