The Best Bakeries In Austin

"When you want impossibly cute pastries that also taste good, head to OMG Squee in East Austin. You’ll find mochi donuts that look like little cats or fish-shaped taiyaki filled with ube and black sesame soft serve. The entire menu is gluten-free, and there’s also a full menu of milk and fruit teas, boba, and matcha drinks. We like the classic ube donut here—it’s chewy and not overly sweet—but if cuteness is your primary factor, you’ll want one of the rotating specials that looks like an animal. There’s no indoor seating—it’s mostly just a small counter—but there are a few tables out front if you want to sit and admire your new cats/donuts for a bit.  " - nicolai mccrary
