Lopez's Sweet Spot is a family-run bakery tucked into the heart of Austin, Texas, where everything is made from scratch with love and a whole lot of butter. From our famous cinnamon rolls to custom celebration cakes, we're your neighborhood bakery — warm, real, and always worth the trip.
These are the bakes that keep Austin coming back. Get them while they last — some sell out before 9am.
Our best-seller since day one. Made with a pillowy brioche dough, swirled with brown sugar and cinnamon, and finished with cream cheese icing. They sell out by mid-morning — arrive early.
$4.50 eachThree layers of deep, dark chocolate cake with velvety ganache between each tier and a silky buttercream finish. Available whole or by the slice — perfect for any occasion or a quiet Tuesday.
$6.00 / slice · $48 wholeLaminated by hand each morning, our pastry selection rotates daily with seasonal fillings — think raspberry almond, lemon custard, or savory ham and gruyère. No two days are exactly alike.
$3.75 – $5.25I'm Marci Lopez, and I've been running Lopez's Sweet Spot for over ten years. What started as a dream and a dog-eared notebook full of my grandmother's recipes has grown into something I'm incredibly proud of — a real neighborhood bakery in Austin, Texas that people call their own. We're small on purpose. Every single item that comes out of our kitchen is made from scratch, by hand, every day.
Our mission is simple: bake the kind of food that makes people feel taken care of. Whether it's a box of cinnamon rolls for a Monday morning team meeting or a four-tiered custom wedding cake, we put the same care into every single order. We use real butter, real cream, and real ingredients — because shortcuts show up in the taste, and our customers deserve better than that.
Lopez's Sweet Spot is a family business in every sense of the word. My team has been with me for years, and many of them feel like family. We know our regulars by name, we remember their favorites, and we love when new faces become familiar ones. That's the kind of place we are — a little chaotic, always busy, and full of warmth.
Austin has welcomed us with open arms, and we're grateful every morning we open those doors. If you've never visited, come in. If you're a regular, thank you — from the bottom of our flour-dusted hearts. This community is why we do what we do, and we don't take that for granted for a single day.

We're proud of every kind word — here are just a few from the people who make this all worthwhile.
"I stop in at least twice a week before work, and the cinnamon rolls are worth every single minute of the commute detour. I once arrived at 9:30am and they were already sold out — now I pre-order a pack. Marci and her team are the sweetest people you'll ever meet at 7am."

"We ordered a custom cake for our daughter's quinceañera and Marci nailed every detail. Three tiers, pale gold flowers, and the inside was tres leches — our entire family was asking where we got it. She genuinely listened to what we wanted and delivered something more beautiful than we imagined."

"Our office orders the catering box every Friday now — it's become a full-on team ritual. The almond croissants disappear in about four minutes flat. What I love most is that it genuinely tastes homemade, because it is. This isn't a chain. It's the real deal, and Austin is lucky to have it."

🚗 Tip: We're a cozy spot — street parking is available nearby. The earlier you arrive, the better your pastry selection. Cinnamon rolls are gone fast on weekends.
