This well-loved Austin institution has earned its reputation with excellent breads, cakes, and pastries. The ham and cheese croissant is a hearty way to start the day. Sweetish Hill keeps it coming through the lunch hour with great sandwiches on fresh bakery bread along with non-standard sides like cilantro potato salad, tabbouleh, and stuffed grape leaves. For dessert, try the plum tart, bee sting, or lemon bar.
