Biscuits round out the best meals, with their flaky, fluffy interiors and crisp exteriors, and Austin’s offerings are particularly strong. The baked good can work as a side slathered with butter, jam, or honey; doused with gravy; split into two for sandwiches; and just as well on its very own. Among the best biscuits found in Austin are the no-longer-secret ones from Southern restaurant Olamaie, gravy-drenched renditions at Biscuits + Groovy trailer, fried chicken sandwiches at Bird Bird Biscuit, brisket-jelly (yes) combinations at Briscuits, and more.

For other baked goods, scope out Austin’s best bakeries, breakfast sandwiches, kolaches, and toasts.
