Comadre Panaderia

We first fell in love with Comadre Panaderia when it opened as a weekend pop-up with online pre-orders that would always sell out. Now, instead of battling everybody with a working internet connection, all we have to do is walk through a bright yellow door in East Austin to find a tiny room filled with modern pan-Latinx baked goods. The menu changes from week to week, but there are usually a handful of vegan and gluten-free options, savory sourdough croissants, and corn-based cookies and donuts. Get a couple of heirloom masa sugar cookies—they’re sweet, crumbly, and almost buttery despite being vegan—then fill the rest of your box up with a few twice-baked conchas and corn flour alfajores.
