Quack's 43rd Street Bakery is Austin's original full-service espresso cafe and from-scratch bakery, operating in the historic Hyde Park neighborhood. The broader parent company, originally founded on "The Drag" under the name Captain Quackenbush's Intergalactic Dessert Co., has been serving the city.
The cakes were so good I was halfway through before deciding to take pictures. The chocolate cake was decadent, dark, delicious, but somehow not overly rich. The perfect Matilda cake. Definitely the best I've had in Austin. The key lime pie was also to-die-for. Super tangy, but gorgeously buttery and rich to balance the acidity. The carrot cake slice was good as well, though not on the same level as the other two for me. The frosting was perfect, and the crumb was moist, but I'm not a fan of the shredded carrot bits that were present. That might just be a personal preference. It was still a solid 8.5/10. The others were just 10/10.

Customer Review
I almost hesitate to tell how great this place is because it is very often hard to park there. But it is well worth ignoring that and dealing with the much better problem of deciding which baked delight to get. A warm and inviting place many locals walk to. The staff make you feel at home and never want to leave. Upper Crust is the epitome of how Austin does decadent baked goods: real ingredients, artistically created with love. Indulge yourself.

I loved the strawberry sweet, it was a nice long pink bread with strawberry cream you would put on bread slices. The strawberry smoothie I got was also quite good, even managed to get a brain freeze from it! My sister also got the sweet Garlic Bread Sticks and seems to enjoy them.
