Come here for the cinnamon rolls!
I read that Teal House has the best cinnamon rolls in Austin and...they do! Well, I haven't tried that many cinnamon rolls in town, but these are the best cinnamon rolls I've tasted. They are perfectly most, great cinnamon flavor throughout the roll, and the icing is cream cheese based (I think) so it isn't sickly sweet like in store-bought rolls. In short, it was perfection. I'm already trying to figure out when I can get more - they were that good.
The reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is for a couple reasons. The other pastries we got were okay, not great. The blueberry lemon and cherry kolaches had great filling, but the filling was small compared to the pastry breading around it, and that part lacked flavor. I haven't had a kolache before, so maybe I'm just not a kolache fan, but this didn't convert me. I also ordered a chocolate almond croissant, but was given a plain almond croissant instead. Not a big deal, I like almond croissants, but it was a little too oily for my taste. Also, ordering online was easy, but pickup was a bit weird. They tell you to go to the pickup window, but I stood there for awhile and no one came to the window and I felt awkward, so then I went to the ordering window but there was a line, so I ended up waiting longer. The pickup process could be smoother.
None of that deters me from wanting to visit again though. I will definitely be back, I will definitely be ordering more cinnamon rolls, and I will definitely try some other pastries too. No matter where you live in Austin, this place is worth the drive!
