Delicious sourdough bread, my wife's favorite. The first adventure when we moved to Austin was to Thoroughbred, well worth the trip.

After trying this place I'm not surprised in the slightest that they have a 5 star rating (a rare feat). Holy cow their bread was good. The white sour was perfect for roasting with butter, making paninis, and even morning French toast. Then there's the cookies, which themselves could be confused with loaves of bread they're so huge. I had the chocolate chip and the pbj. Crisp on the outside, gooey inside, amazing flavor. We also tried a burridough, which was certainly a clever name and delicious breakfast, though not as out of the park compared to the cookies. The cookies are a MUST. Oh and to boot the staff were so friendly and helpful both on the phone and in person. Tip: order ahead online so you know they'll have your favorites in stock for you. read more

Banana Nutella cookie $4 - our favorite cookie even though both were super good. Thicc cookie w/ so much Nutella inside. You can taste the banana, it's like banana bread yum! Cookie was fresh and crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside. Pb&j cookie $4 - so good! Lots of filling. Cookie was as big as my hand! Avo egg & cheese burridough $6.50 - pretty big, very good. Reminded me of cheesy garlic bread on the outside. Salsa made it even better. Small parking lot for a few cars, but we were the only ones at 10am on a Thursday. There's a small lot next door at the laundromat, so it should be OK to park there since you're in and out quickly. Nowhere to sit inside, but there are a couple of picnic benches outside where we ate. read more

Got cookie cravings? Then run, don't walk to Thoroughbread! This bakery and cookie master closes on the early side at 2pm, so get your cookies while you can. During a weekend getaway to Austin, I almost missed out on Throughbread and am so glad that I didn't. I almost missed out because I was so full of all of the other delicious food that Austin had to offer but let me tell you that it's totally worth it to save room for Thoroughbread. Full disclosure, didn't have room for the bread so this only relates to their ginger cookie. For my ginger cookie fans out there, Throughbread sees and hears you! Their gingerbread cookie has actual perfectly sized chunks of caramelized ginger. It's ginger spicy with that nice contrast to the sweet almost nutty tasting cookie base and satisfies all of your ginger cookie dreams! read more

Delightful bakery! We stopped by after a visit to Umlauf Sculpture garden, and just wow! It's a small space, with a couple of tables, and a variety of baked goods from sourdough breads to incredible cookies. We tried the peanut butter and jam cookie as well as the banana Nutella. Both were stuffed cookies, and both were INCREDIBLE. Pro-Tips: - limited coffee choices (but you're really coming here for the baked goods). - try (and share) any of the stuffed cookies - small space with a lot of character read more

Life changing cookies. Delicious savory goodies. Absolute perfection. We had the chocolate pecan, chocolate chip, banana Nutella & peanut butter chocolate cookies. All were fabulous! Substantial, ooey gooey with a lovely exterior crisp. The burridoughs were so so yummy!! Cannot wait to go back. Would eat here every single day if I could. read more

Their PB & J cookies were nice. The day old brioche loaf was great for desserts! I had the ham, egg, and cheese pastry as well but did not love it as much. read more

"Hole in the wall" without the normally amazing attribute of being great. The white sourdough pretty much tasted like white bread. It was dense and just good and for $10, I expected better. I specifically ventured out for bread, but saw this bakery had other items so I picked up a scone (blueberry, lemon, rosemary), a German chocolate chip cookie and what passes as a kolache. The rosemary in the scone was overpowering and the scone was too sweet--not a balanced treat...no one at home took more than a bite. The German chocolate chip is a great concept, but again the coconut in the cookie is overpowering--pretty much all you taste. No one finished the cookie--which is unheard of at our house. The kolachi type food item was ok. We definitely won't be back. I also got a coffee and it was not good. A bakery should have great coffee. Service was great! read more

Just went to this adorable little bakery for the first time today. The aroma of bread/cookies when you walk in the door was INTOXICATING! I got a loaf of rye sour dough and I believe it's the best bread I've ever eaten!!!! It's amazing. I definitely foresee picking up a loaf being part of my weekend routine. I am blown away!!!! read more

The Bottom Line: ThoroughBread was an absolute surprise find while during errands in Zilker. Here you can find carbs re-imagined in delicious ways. I was doing laundry at the laundromat next door, while waiting for the cycle to finish I walked around and noticed the storefront and walked in for a snack. The storefront was tiny but the smells were huge. The scents of freshly baked bread hit me like wall. I snagged the last of their Burridoughs™ they had baked for the day and it was the best fake burrito I've ever had. The PB&J cookie took me back to my childhood with a well done peanut butter cookie filled with sweet jelly. Here's a tip: If you ever find yourself on Bluebonnet Ln to do laundry, come hungry, skip the convenience store and head right to ThoroughBread for enough carbs to put you in a coma while the clothes dry. read more

I dragged my boyfriend here this AM for "coffee", but it was really for a breakfast cookie if I'm being honest with myself. On the coffee note, they do offer drip coffee and cold brew (drip was good!), but no fancy lattes/espresso - just to level set. The food: -burridough (avo/egg): 7/10, pretty tasty -cookie (pb Nutella): 8.5/10, loved it -cookie (chocolate chip): 7.5/10, above average My boyfriend got the burridough, and kept laughing about the name because he's a loser. There was much more filling than I had anticipated, which was surprising and tasty. The COOKIES. I wanted to see if these lived up to the hype - and they sure did. It's worth noting that I heated them up in the oven for 10min, which (I assume) greatly improved my experience as they were warm and gooey. The banana Nutella had much more banana flavor vs what I thought would come through - which I loved. The chocolate chip was good, but nothing too special about it. I will say it was much more dough-y vs a levain type, chip-heavy cookie which I actually prefer. As others have noted, you can also buy day old cookies for $2. I wanted the full experience, but may capitalize on the in the future. I'll definitely be back to try the PBJ one! read more

Best Cookies I've ever had! We ordered the Banana Nutella and the Chocolate Chip. So crispy on the edges and gooey on the inside. All it needed in my opinion was a sprinkle of salt on top. Otherwise it was amazing! read more

The bakery is tucked inside the Barton Hills neighborhood and really has a neighborly feel. Small space, so there was a sign outside that said mentioned one group at a time indoors (COVID protocols). I ordered a Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookie, two Burridoughs (avocado, egg, cheese), and a Coffee. I love coffee, but don't regularly drink it since it triggers my acid reflux coughs (a big no-no in the COVID era). The cookie was great, however, in all respects. A thicker mound shape, rather than the thin cookies you're used to seeing, but it really lends to getting the crisp on the outside, but the soft doughiness on the inside - 10/10 would recommend. The Burridough is also great as well, and they brand it as a mix between a breakfast taco and a kolache - I'd say it resembles a kolache more so. Don't make the same mistake I did and decline salsa with it, the inside was packed with eggs so salsa of some form makes a big difference. I had salsa at home so I made up for it, and it was still delicious anyhow. I only ended up eating one and saving the other for later. A note that this Burridough is definitely more filling than either a kolache or a breakfast taco. In the end, I'd say ThoroughBread is going to be one of my new top recommendation options! read more

ThoroughBread - Two Avocado/Egg/Cheese Burridoughs, Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookie, and a Coffee - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

The friendly self-taught baker Ryan definitely earned a cult following almost instantaneously with the opening of this artisan bread shop. His loaves and sourdoughs are consistently sold out early in the day. I arrived at noon, and the only thing they had left were cookies. For bread, it would be good to order it a day in advance or to arrive early. I've seen sourdoughs in other places, and I've seen loaves in other places. But I've rarely, if ever, seen a whole wheat sourdough. And there are special offerings which you may need to check on Facebook for details (or call). A lot of the breads are around $7, reasonable comparing to supermarket competition. So I came, no bread - but $4 cookies, which I wasn't going to get until someone mentioned pecan chocolate chip and that it was warm. So I caved in - and these cookies are two-thumbs thick! Crusty on the outside and oozy in the middle - definitely rich and good. For the cookie monsters in Austin, this would be a great find. read more

ThoroughBread - Bread cheese - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Big (amazing) things come in small packages. Thoroughbred is a magical unicorn of mouthwatering goodness.

I live in the neighborhood and commonly walk by this place. They are ALWAYS closed. I swear they took off most of the summer and start of the fall this year. I don't know how this place stays in business, tbh. Even when they are open, their hours are super limited. Can't say I am a fan of the cookies either. They are all a bit too sweet. Overboard is a word that comes to mind. Their giant croissant/bread filled kolaches are good, but they never make enough. read more

This is the best little bakery! They are the friendliest -- Jamie at the counter is so kind. I haven't had their breads yet (YET!) but this is a MUST go for their cookies. My favorite was the Nutella banana one & the plain chocolate chip. They're every bit of delicious. I also tried the avocado and egg burridough & loved it. Next time I'm going to try the brisket one. read more

Yum! Had 3 of their cookies. The banana filled with Nutella was my favorite. Great banana flavor. The peanut butter filled with jam was a PB&J throwback. I enjoyed the pecan chocolate chip one that wasn't filled too. Each of them was crispy on the outside and plenty gooey on the inside. I also tried their sourdough and enjoyed it. read more

I haven't been in Austin long but this is already ranking as one of my favorite bakeries. They offer a selection of breads, cookies, and burridoughs. I ordered the sourdough, banana nutella, pbj, and chocolate pecan cookies, and the brisket burridoughs. Sourdough - this bread makes my heart happy, absolutely amazing, when I picked it up my whole car smelled like fresh bread Cookies - My fav was the PBJ the flavors balanced really well, banana/nutella was waaayyy more banany than I thought but also good, the chocolate pecan was alright but I didn't fall in love with it as much as the other 2 Burridoughs - love the concept of these but think there was too nuch egg to brisket ratio, I almost needed some grilled onions in there or something to combat all the eggs. This comes with salsa. I enjoyed it but just wish the flavors were more balanced Overall enjoyed and would definitely go again! read more

Absolutely excellent Cookies, and the service was impressive! I'll be stopping by again regularly

This neighborhood bakery has the most delicious breads, cookies, and burridoughs. If you are a fan of fresh breads, be sure to check them out. My favorite is the whole wheat sourdough, but the white and rye are delicious, too. They do make traditional white and wheat, but i just can't get past the sourdough. The loaves are really large (for a single lady), but it takes French toast to a new level and whatever's left makes bread crumbs that i store in the freezer. Sorry, back yard birds, I'm not sharing! read more

One of the best bakeries around. Their loaf bread is fantastic and so are the burridoughs (think of giant kolaches) - get the brisket and avocado ones. But by far they are best known for their heavenly cookies. Best cookies hands down. They are humongous, soft, and just divine. The pbj and Nutella banana are out of this world. read more

Move over easy tiger there's a new bakery in town. I live in 78704 and many of my clients have told me that I should check this place out considering I am a total snob about the bread I eat. I walked in, saw these chunky, puffy, yummy cookies, and the most beautiful artisan bread on the shelves. I decided to purchase some of the sourdough rye, which I've never seen before, and I am hooked. It tastes like bread you get in Europe. Not to dence, but still hearty, not dry at all. Let me repeat, not dry at all. Toasted it was some cheese and an egg on top, I have a new favorite dinner. This bread is epic. I can tell they put their heart and soul into it. read more

A cute bakery offering breads, cookies, and a few other things. I placed my order online for pick up and got the rye and white sourdough loaves and a chocolate chip pecan cookie. All were delicious. I will definitely be back as I was looking for good sourdough in Austin! read more

Omg! If you're in the South Lamar area this is the place to get the most delicious cookies!!! I keep going back for the chocolate pecan cookie which is rich and has the perfect amount of chocolate chip/pecan ratio for me! Yum! We also tried the burridough which was incredibly tasty and filling. Haven't tried anything else but these are definite must haves and everything else looks great as well! read more

ThoroughBread - Chocolate chip pecan cookie - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

You know it's true love when it's just as good the second time around. We came here again on Sunday morning with one of our brothers in tow. He's also a bit of a snob, and was completely blown away by this place. We didn't mess around this time and ordered ALL of the cookies available as well as two of the burridoughs--because we wanted to give them a second chance. We're glad we did because they were much better this time around and the ham/cheese is better than the brisket one. Cookies were still as fall-to-your-knees-heavens-are-opening-up-angels-are-singing SPECTACULAR as last time! The banana-nutella cookie and the strawberry-chocolate were MIND-BLOWING. WHAT KIND OF PASTRY SORCERY IS HAPPENING HERE? Cold brews tasted a bit off but were fine. We bought our brother a loaf of bread to bring back to Houston and one of us got a t-shirt she's so in love with this place. Service was still slow, but a bit friendlier this time around. Only thing is: you need to get some plastic or disposable knives. The awesome bad ass baker lady let us borrow one from the back, but given the size of these cookies, it might just be nice to have some available for customers. Anyway, PLEASE GOD NEVER CHANGE. DO NOT LET THEM DESTROY YOU, THOROUGHBREAD. YOU ARE PERFECT!!! God, this place is so amazing. We will be so heartbroken if they go the way of Easy Tiger or somewhere else that has been utterly ruined by corporate greed. This is really one of our favorite places in Austin. We love you!! read more

The absolute best cookies in Austin! I always grab a cookie when I'm in Royal Blue. Cookies: PB & J - 5/5 Banana Nutella - 5/5 Chocolate Chip - 4/5 Strawberry Chocolate - 5/5 All of their cookies are amazing! They even have a pumpkin cookie during the fall that is phenomenal. Sooo fresh and tasty! I always buy extra for friends and family, everyone raves about how good they are! read more

This is precisely what an Austin bakery should be--a great atmosphere and better-baked goods. Please don't bother with the cookies; they're all mine! The brioche bread is outstanding, too. Every time I visit, I have to resist the urge to buy everything. read more

Amazing bakery with delicious cookies, bread loafs, and more! Be sure to get there early for the best selection.

Firstly, I love that this is a family affair! It's a small but mighty operation pumping out loaves of bread AND swoon-worthy cookies. Bread: My olive loaf cost $9, which is hefty, but so is the loaf. And, to top it off, they had a few day old loaves that weren't sellable (but definitely edible), so they threw in one of those, so technically, I got two loaves for $9. I'm not a sourdough girl, but their sourdough had my eyes popping out of my head at a recent event, so definitely try a piece of that before naysaying it if you're a fellow sourno, like me. I'm loving the olive bread. It's great as a stand alone with just a little butter or spread of some kind (leftover chipotle pecan pesto from Bouldin Creek Cafe, let's say), but also a great base for my egg sandwiches in the morning. Cookies: Ooooooooh child. Their most notable one is the banana Nutella and if you like either of those things, you'll be head over banana peels for that. A surprise one for me was the PB&J. I think most peanut butter cookies fall short, but this actually had PB in it (it wasn't just the cookie dough) so when you pulled it apart, it was a medley of PB&J, much like a sandwich can be. These are the same look, girth, and dough-y interior as some other local faves like Henbit and Teddy V's vs the pan banged/flat cookies like at Sour Duck. Their tip jar is donated to a different charity every week or month, so when you are tipping them because of their warmth and friendliness, you're really giving back to a nonprofit that is near and dear to them. read more

Bread that costs more than $10 you'd expect it to be day fresh. Disappointing. Also their rye has caraway seeds in it which is quite a dominant flavor but not one I am a fan of. read more

Great cookies! So big and tasty....and fresh!!!!!! Get it while it's hot and bite into it, pronto! We have tried everything except for the Valentine strawberry choco chip cookie. Despite how far this is from our house, when my husband gets the craving... we haul ass to get cookies!!!! Downside: parking could suck depending on the time so take that into consideration. These cookies are worth it! read more

Oh, the smells! You walk into this adorable, little shop to a cloud of buttery, nutty, bready scents. I wish I could get an eau de parfum scented like ThoroughBread. I ordered one mini chocolate pecan cookie, one PB&J cookie, and one black coffee. Everything was delightfully warmed and the cookies, gooey. I look forward to trying their bread next time! read more

The chocolate chip pecan cookies are what dreams are made of. They are big, and fluffy, and kind of soft. Proportions of chocolate chip/pecan/cookie are perfect. I ate 2 of them the other day (that's a lot of cookie y'all)... and I've been wanting to get more ever since. read more

Tiny neighborhood place with maybe four free spots in the lot. Tables outside to eat. Burridough and assorted cookies were tasty, but the avocado in the burridough threw me off. Not bad but maybe next time I'll just get a kolache. read more

It's no secret that I love bread and this bakery is going to easily become my go to. How I failed to come here for so long is beyond a mystery to me. ThoroughBread has large huking loaves of artisan bread, especially sourdough that has great aeration, chew and that dark mahogany crust that is a signature of good bread. But besides just the carbs, they also got killer cookies. They are reminiscent of the Levain style of cookies (i.e. hulking fist size cookies) that are not too sweet, have some slight doughiness to them and a potent crisp edge. My favorite is the pb&j and that's coming from someone who does not like peanut butter (unless in large quantities) generally speaking, but even I have to admit it was really good. Strong peanut butter flavor that you don't normally find in peanut butter cookies filled with jelly that brings the childhood throwback memories that isn't too sweet. The banana nutella is also good - it has the taste of chocolate banana bread honestly with the texture of a cookie. Oh and if you come early in the morning, they also sell discounted day old cookies that can easily be revitalized in the microwave for a few seconds. #steal Lastly, if you're in the mood for a hearty breakfast/brunch, I would definitely recommend the burridoughs. It's basically a thin pastry kolache with some cheese crust and stuffed to the brim. You know how most kolaches are mostly dough and a little filling? Flip that here - it's stuffed with eggs and if you're coming on a weekend, Terry Black's brisket. Ya, a little salsa to pair with that and you're in for a treat. It's definitely a hefty breakfast but it's the perfect way to start your morning. It's also pretty affordable as it doesn't cost any more than say, two breakfast tacos elsewhere (or two or three small kolaches). read more
