Dream Bakery
Persian sweets are plentiful here, and include everything from the ubiquitous Nan Badomie (almond cookie) to the less common Sagh Aroos (Apple Jam Finger). Dream is equally well-known for cheesecakes, cupcakes, occasion cakes, and Napoleans, as well as cream puffs and tiramisu. They close at 6pm on most evenings, so take these treats home to a sugar-starved crowd.

Easy Tiger
Plenty of outdoor seating along the Barton Creek Greenbelt at this South Austin outpost of the popular Austin bakeshop and beer garden.
