Capital City Bakery

I did not realize that this was a vegan bakery (we just were walking by) so my taste wouldn’t really count here but I personally was not a fan. When we walked in there were only a few cupcakes left since it was the end of the day/weekend. They did look good though. The biggest problem I had was how filthy the place looked. The decor was cute (of course) but the floors and tables were all DIRTY. The place was welcoming enough. We had to wipe down the table, but sitting there looking at the super dirty floor was not appetizing.

I'm visiting from Los Angeles and my son took me to this bakery. He hadn't been before but heard great things about it. I had the peanut butter brownie and blackberry mocha iced coffee. As rich as the brownie looks, it wasn't too sweet AT ALL and it was rather delicious. The drink was different but good. My son had the carrot cake muffin and he loved it. I would definitely return as they had some other really delicious eats that I want to try. I would also recommend this bakery to others.

When looking for a bakery that provided vegan cupcakes for our wedding, we sent a couple emails out to different companies. Capital City Bakery is the only one that would actually respond to us, and I'm so glad they did! We had a small vegan carrot cake and vegan funfetti cupcakes and they were delicious! We had compliments all night about them. I highly recommend their services not only because they tasted amazing, but also for their prompt and consistent communication always keeping their customers in the loop.

okay, so my beef has nothing to do with the product - some of the best vegan baked goods you could ever want are indeed here. HOWEVER. this business has only been open “by appointment only” for /months/ now, and the only mention of this is a hand-written sign they have taped to the door and one little line in their instagram bio. no posts were made to communicate these changes to their customer base, and google does not reflect these changes. their brick and mortar is NOT open to the public anymore. you can only order via their site or by phone, but those yield issues of their own. the site will list every item as unavailable, or there will be some other site-related issue preventing you from ordering, or they won’t answer their phones. I honestly don’t know how they’ve managed to stay afloat at this point. I really love this business and want to support it, but it’s become increasingly harder to do so. as constructive criticism for ownership - please be more communicative if you want to maintain what’s left of your customer base.

My fiance and I found this place randomly looking for a birthday cake... my fiance ended up surprising me for my birthday with the vegan cupcakes and it's been a tradition ever since we moved here! We love to offer the cupcakes to our friends and family for the first time and not let them know that they're vegan. These are the best desserts I've ever had. Vegan Poptarts... sounds too good to be true right? Nope, it's real life and they taste JUST like regular Poptarts. Come support this incredible local Austin business. Everything I've had here, has been amazing. Pay attention to their Instagram each week to see what special flavors they are offering that week!
