About this business

When this restaurant was forced to move from its previous location, the surrounding neighborhood got a petition together to keep the bakery. In their new location at Hancock Drive, the small, family-owned bakery and coffee shop has a new clientèle that is becoming increasingly loyal everyday. From the cinnamon rolls to scones, Russell's Bakery offers fresh and sumptuous eats. The Breve is especially tasty and sure to give you the wake-up call you need on your way to work. With its eclectic selection of tables and chai... read more

Need a special cake DON'T go to Russell's So my wife's grandmothers 80th birthday is this Saturday, and we wanted to celebrate by presenting her with a beautiful lady-bug themed cake. So the week prior we went to Russell's, and placed our order with the apathetic female clerk at the counter. We should have known by her attitude and lack of any customer service skills that things were not going to go according to plan. But assuming that this was a professional bakery we went on our way with the promise that our cake could be ... read more

this place is the best! I can't say enough good things about Russell's! They focus on desserts, so you won't find lots of different breads in their shop. But, there are enough sweets to keep you busy for a lifetime! My favorites are their Coconut Cream Pie and German Chocolate Cake. Their breakfast menu is also amazing - they have some of the best scones in Austin. I don't drink coffee, but have heard that their coffee is very good as well. PROS: amazing food!!! CONS:

Very Dry Birthday Cake! I am normally just bragging all the time about the lucious desserts, sandwiches, and tortilla soup here. I have never ever been dissappointed before. I picked up a very amanteur decorated baseball cake for my son's Birthday yesterday. It looked yummy on the outside, but was very dry vanilla cake with lots lemon trying to cover up the dryness. $50.00 small round cake I could of done way better by going to Randall's on Balcones Drive!

Terrible Customer Service experience-wrong cake I searched everywhere in Austin for a bakery that specialized in German chocolate cakes and decided to try out Russells. I ordered my cake for my boyfriend's 40th birthday party 1 week in advance and when I went to go pick it up 4 hours before the party they had the wrong order. This was one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had. Have you ever been to a place where they #1 do not take any responsibility #2 act like you are inconveniencing them and they just ... read more

Bad experience? There's a good reason. Unfortunately, the owner treats his employees with absolutely no respect. There is a very high turnover rate because he is impossible to work for. I lasted for a whopping two weeks and quit after he managed to make 4 girls (including myself) cry in a single day. The training is very disorganized, and when an employee can't meet his expectations he explains everything that the employee is doing wrong, but fails to explain how to do things correctly and meet his expectations. I have worke... read more

Cinnamon rolls are great. They are also huge so bring your appetite.

The cafe au lait was divine. BestI have had outside New Orleans Napoleon Cafe. Carrots, raisins, and bran in a muffin together are a perfect combination. Excellent bacon and egg taco! 10/10 will come again.
