Quacks 43rd Street Bakery, Austin, Texas

Quack’s 43rd Street Bakery is the present incarnation of Captain Quackenbush’s Intergalactic Dessert Company and Espresso Café which opened for business on the Drag, across the street from the University of Texas at Austin, back in 1983. Over the years, the long name was truncated by patrons and consequently it was formally shortened it to Quack’s. Known locally for roasting their own coffee, and for their desserts.
