Quack's 43rd Street Bakery
411 E. 43rd, 453-3399
Mon-Fri, 6:30am-11pm; Sat-Sun, 8am-11pm
Although Quack's landmark coffee shop on the Drag succumbed to prosperity last year, their Hyde Park hangout does its part to carry on the spirit of Slacker-era Austin. It is a great place to luxuriate over coffee and a muffin while eavesdropping on gossipy conversations about the local music and arts scenes. Reasonably priced sandwiches and rice and beans resonate with the budget-minded, while the Toll House pie resonates with the sweet-tooth crowd.
