A Visit to Austin’s Ethnic Bakeries: A bite-sized tour of the world without leaving town
What do you do when you mix a traveling jones with a sweet tooth? For those with the time and means, a trip around the world probably sounds pretty good. If that’s not practical, you can do the next best thing – stop by one of the little local bakeries and pick up an ethnic treat to go.
Sweets are a traditional part of celebrations in almost every country in the world. Many, if not most of the favorite ethnic desserts we’re all familiar with are steeped in lesser known traditions and cultural heritage. Many of the bakers that own these local shops brought their experience and talent to Texas from other countries, and the culture of their native land is often reflected through the ambience as well as the food. Other shop owners are descendents of immigrants, and the confections they make are based on old family recipes that have been passed down through the generations. Either way, we get a little taste of the old country with every bite.

“Keeping Austin Weird” - a Proud Legacy
“Keep Austin Weird.” The unofficial slogan of the city has different interpretations to different residents, but most would agree that not being “normal” is one of the things we cherish about Austin. Ironically, what began with a grass roots movement to support the local businesses got trademarked by a marketing company to sell tee shirts and ball caps. In fact, they did such a good job of marketing and profiting from that slogan that other marketing companies in other cities picked it up and pretty soon, it became “Keep (fill in the blank) Weird.” But like cookie-cutter malls and chain restaurants that look exactly the same no matter what part of the country you happen to be in, we’ll let the big companies make a profit here just like anywhere else. To a lot of us, “Keep Austin Weird” isn’t about a tee shirt, it’s a reminder that we live in one of the most unique and original cities in the country, and we never want to lose that.
