Austin Bakery Swedish Hill Opens New Bakery and Deli in Westlake | Eater Austin

"Opened at 3663 Bee Caves Road, Suite 4A on Monday, November 25, this West Lake Hills bakery — owned by parent company McGuire Moorman Lambert — serves a menu similar to its older sibling. Baked goods include sweet and savory croissants (almond, ham‑gruyère), danishes, cookies (chocolate chunk–sea salt, ginger molasses), cakes (pistachio‑cranberry), and bread. The morning breakfast menu features granola bowls, breakfast tacos and sandwiches, and chia pudding breakfast bowls; the late-morning-into-afternoon lunch menu includes sandwiches like the tuna melt with cheddar cheese, smoked turkey, the chicken salad pesto crunch, and the pastrami Reuben, plus various rotisserie chicken options. The all-day menu offers bagels with schmears and lox; avocado toasts; deli-style salads such as curried chickpeas, pulled rotisserie chicken salad, roasted meats, and egg salad; and soups. Drinks include coffee and espresso drinks, hot teas, juices, beer, and wine. The location took over what had been a spot for French bistro Blue Dahlia (which closed in April, leaving its sole remaining location in San Marcos) and is aesthetically similar to the other bakery with blue-and-white motifs, a service counter, and a patio. Hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily; takeout orders can be placed in person (online ordering will be available later); and there are indoor and outdoor dine-in options. The brand’s next focus is expanding onto South First by taking over a former Foxtrot location (expected early 2025); the original bakery is currently operating out of a temporary space on West Sixth while McGuire Moorman Lambert redevelops the block into a mixed-use project called Sixth & Blanco, with the revamped and relocated bakery slated to open in 2027. There is also another location of the brand in the Aspen Art Museum in Colorado. The bakery was originally called Sweetish Hill Bakery when it operated from the 1970s into 2018, at which point McGuire Moorman bought the business and renamed it." - Nadia Chaudhury
