Comadre Panadería serves innovative, vibrant Mexican-American pastries made with local, organic ingredients in a cozy East Austin spot.
"Bakery run by Mariela Camacho in Austin, creating unique pastries like pink Texas sheet cakes with heirloom Texas corn flour and prickly pear buttercream." - ByEmily Wilson
"Austin Chronicle’s standalone Best of Austin Restaurants issue was published in late October. Winners included categories like pastry chef for Mariela Camach of Comadre Panadería." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Cake lovers who are willing to go a little left of center will love the offerings at this woman-owned bakery. Try the pistachio guava y canela, vanilla funfetti cake with strawberry grapefruit jam, or carrot maracuya ginger cake. What’s available changes seasonally. Takeout orders can be placed online or in person." - Courtney E. Smith, Britt Hayes
"We first fell in love with Comadre Panaderia when it opened as a weekend pop-up with online pre-orders that would always sell out. Now, instead of battling everybody with a working internet connection, all we have to do is walk through a bright yellow door in East Austin to find a tiny room filled with modern pan-Latinx baked goods. The menu changes from week to week, but there are usually a handful of vegan and gluten-free options, savory sourdough croissants, and corn-based cookies and donuts. Get a couple of heirloom masa sugar cookies—they’re sweet, crumbly, and almost buttery despite being vegan—then fill the rest of your box up with a few twice-baked conchas and corn flour alfajores.
