Swedish Hill

$$ | West Austin

This longtime Clarksville institution (formerly known as Sweetish Hill, established 1975) got a major facelift in 2019, and the bougie bakery came back in full force with updated interiors, more inside seating, and an expanded all-day café menu. The surrounding Sixth and Blanco development, a major mixed-use retail and restaurant endeavor set to open in late 2026, has forced this expanded version of the café to temporarily operate on a slightly scaled-down version ("Little Swedish") during the ongoing construction. But patrons can still expect an all-day menu of delicious homemade pastry, bread, and bagel selections, house-made coffee and breakfast buns, a deli case of hot and cold bites, and fresh salads and special entrées.
