    Cookie cake!

    Five stars very well deserved! The girls at my place of employment LOVE THEM! Every day we come in and when we're done with lunches we always say "you know what I want?!" And the next person will be like "A COOKIE! Let's gooo!" We take there fav kinds and run down the hall! We love these cookies could never get tired of them! The lady is so nice and helpful! Today I placed a last minute order to get a cookie cake for my friend and when I got there she told me that she had already hit capacity for the orders! Oh no I was going to wait either way but she said GIVE ME TWO MINUTES! She got right to work on the cookie cake in front of her and got it done so beautifully even showed me to approve! THANK YOU SO MUCH! It made my friend very happy!

    I called with only 2 day notice for my Sons 21st bday cookie cake. Carol was very pleasant on the phone as we discussed what I was needing. I explained that my son was disabled and that I wanted a wheelchair on the cookie. Carol immediately began to look up pictures and go over ideas with me... and the next day my youngest son brought home the most special cookie cake! There were tears all around. Thank you carol for making our day SO SPECIAL!

    Sure the cookies ARE overpriced. And they want you to buy 5 to get a 6th one free. Nobody needs 5, much less 6! This is supposed to be a bargain? But I have been addicted to those M&M Double Doozie cookies since 1992 when an old ex-gf introduced them to me on a trip home from college. There's something about that white fake processed sugary tasting icing in the middle that I completely CRAVE. I love that stuff! It's an art to eating one of these. When you bite the icing sandwich, the icing can ooze out onto your hand. I try to eat around this evil concoction to make sure I get every bit of the icing that can squish out. The tattooed and pierced employee had an absolute look of misery on his face. So much so, I was actually a little concerned about him. I know it's a crap job, but he was just going through the motions. Surely he could get something else where that tattooed and pierced "look" is an asset (I mean it IS Austin after all) and where he'd find a bit more enthusiasm in what he's doing. Leave that job to the high school kiddies!

    They are amazing cookies. I recently ordered a cake and it was as good as I every remember. They now have colored icing. It is easy to order. If you tell them a time to pick it up, do not expect to get it early. They literally make the cake a hour or two before you told them you would pick it up. I find it odd they do not have prices anywhere on display. The cake was $33. I bit high for a cake when you think about it but everyone loves them. The icing is crack. You can't get enough of it. The girl that took my order was nice the one I dealt with when I picked up not so much. They are working at the mall on a Saturday. I am sure that can't be easy. However, they need try a tad harder to be nice to their customers. The product amazing, customer service ok.

    My request was a girl skiing on a slalom ski! They nailed it!! The cake was a hit at the party!

    RE: Business owner information General Manager…read more Business Manager Jul 17, 2026 Hi Paul, Thank you for your detailed feedback. While we're glad you joined us, I'm sorry to hear your breakfast experience didn't meet expectations. We'll be reviewing your comments with our culinary team to improve consistency. We appreciate you giving us a try and hope to provide a better experience in the future. Warm regards, Wes Brown It's great to receive a response from the business manager regarding our experience at their restaurant, but all four us thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast. We had absolutely no complaints regarding our dining experience. Caroline is affiliated with the Marriott Element and Aloft hotels and that, I believe, where the affiliation ends. I try to avoid hotel eateries but I've had great dining experiences at hotels like the JW Marriott in Austin. We, four, stopped by on a Sunday AM for breakfast and we had a great time. They do have brunch cocktails available and their bloody Mary's were deemed excellent with just the right amount of spice. My bloody Maria was on point and we all got our Sunday Funday started. Breakfast was wonderful. Our eggs arrived cooked perfectly. The pepper bacon and real potato sides were off the charts delicious. They also offer a few TexMex breakfast options and Plus one was raving about her Huevos Rancheros plate. Service was excellent even though they became busy our server was very attentive. Pro tip: Sat and Sun AMs if you arrive early you can easily score a table.

Thus far, I've only had cookies. First time was when said friend gifted me a rather ginormous chocolate chip cookie that melted in my mouth. Couldn't get it in my belly fast enough. Since I've been going on my own I've also had the lemon crinkle cookie as well as the chocolate crinkle and the double chocolate chip. All are enough to put my head in a tizzy state of intoxication from their sugary goodness. I'll have to say the double chocolate chip cookie is my favorite. That is, as I type this. I'm sure during my next visit it'll be another cookie. Perhaps the lemon will move forward in my line of faves. No matter because as I said, it's all delicious goodness. Baked love. Perfectly baked. Yummy. Pure cookie bliss.

The outside is super cute and can definitely be a good photo opportunity. I initially Yelp for ice cream but this spot popped up and I couldn't say no. It was a good spot to check out if you love cookies. Prices are a bit high but would make great gifts or for you to eat. Tips: *Credit card accepted *Small parking lot.

    This bakery seriously might have the best cookies in Austin. Perfect texture, rich flavor, and…read moresomehow always fresh and satisfying every single time. Definitely one of those places that keeps you thinking about the cookie long after you leave. Everything else in the bakery also looks amazing, but the cookies are absolutely the star of the show. One important thing to note for first-time visitors: be very careful with parking. The lot next door apparently boots cars almost immediately if they see you park there and walk toward the bakery. It's not the bakery's fault, but it's definitely something customers should be aware of before visiting. Parking headache aside, this place is 100% worth the trip.

    Thoroughbread bakery is tucked away in a residential area behind South Lamar. I saw a post on…read moresocial media touting ThoroughBread cookies as the best cookies they have ever eaten. Wow, that was a bold claim! I finally got the opportunity to try ThoroughBread cookies and they were quite yummy. These cookies are like no other cookies I have eaten. I got the chocolate chip cookies with pecans. They had the texture of gingerbread cookies and were huge. They were gooey in the middle, perfectly crisp on the outside, and rich without being eye-squinting sweet. The chocolate chip cookies had welcoming textures and flavors. In addition, my server was kind and patient as I made my selection. You could taste the quality of ingredients, and each mouthful was progressively delicious. Definitely try Thoroughbread cookies for yourself. You're in for a treat.

Parking is limited -- only a few narrow spots outside. Okay wow. The ube ice cream here is out-of-this-world. Came here with my hubby and two toddlers and we got one cone to share (the kids just get a little bit). This is usually enough but I felt like I wanted MORE. It was so creamy and flavorful. We kept it simple -- fish cone with nutella and ube soft serve. We had the option of swirling it with a milk tea ice cream but it had a little bit of caffeine so no good. Glad the choice was made for us -- the ube was perfect on its own. Also happy we skipped the toppings since the creaminess really came through. They sell mochi donuts too -- they were pretty good but not as good as the ice cream. Parking is limited but we had no issue snagging a spot at 430pm on a Sunday. Only a few narrow spots outside (no official lot). Full disclosure -- both my daughter and I had tummy aches after eating this ice cream and you know what? I have zero regrets! It was that good.
