Upper Crust bakery is one of those places where you walk in and the smell of sweet goodness knocks you over. This Austin favorite has all of the cookies, cakes and pastries that you’d expect in a European-style bakery, along with fresh-made sandwiches made with bread baked that morning.

On my last trip, I had a chicken salad sandwich on white bread. There were plenty of large chicken chunks, and the vegetables were fresh.

I recommend Upper Crust for its sweets, sandwiches and atmosphere. But, be sure to get there early on Sunday because they close at 1.
