Desserts are everywhere in Austin, even at Austin farmers markets.
Austin has long been a place where food entrepreneurs take the leap and as a foodie, I revel in it. It means so many delicious things to try! The number of cottage bakeries has also grown in the past few years, so there are plenty of options. Now, when you’re doing your grocery shopping at the farmers market or if you want to go find something sweet and tasty at the market, this list will help.
This post shares 11 dessert options you should try next time you visit a farmers market in Austin.
Algo Dulce
This smooth flan is a personal size dessert, so be sure to get everyone their own! 😉 It comes in three different flavors – traditional, coconut, and coffee. You’ll love the rich flavor, a recipe perfected by the co-founder’s father and shared through this company started by Texas Exes.
Where to Buy: Texas Farmers Market at Lakeline and Mueller, Barton Creek Farmers Market, SFC Downtown Farmers Market. They also sell in several Austin grocery stores and restaurants.

Cake and Spoon
This bakery provides desserts for a well-known restaurant – Franklin Barbecue! I love their cinnamon rolls, and they also have cakes, cookies, and pies. It’s not a dessert but they also make delicious quiches.

Crescent City Flavor
The croissant cinnamon roll is so good! It’s FULL of cinnamon and topped with a thick but not overwhelming glaze. They also serve very sugary pastries, like a cherry croissant, so I’d count them as dessert.

Julie Myrtille Bakery
Yes, Julie Myrtille has a storefront, but if you’re shopping at a farmers market, you’ll be able to pick up some goodies! The menu is long, but some of their dessert items include dessert tarts, madeleines and other cookies, macarons, and more.
Where to Buy: Texas Farmers Market at Lakeline and Mueller, Barton Creek Farmers Market, SFC Downtown Farmers Market. Their storefront is located at 1023 Springdale Rd Building 1D, Austin, TX 78721.

Luv Fats Ice Cream
This small-batch ice cream company uses avocados and coconut milk to make their delicious ice creams. Since the ice cream is small-batch, new and unique flavors are available all the time. Chai and chocolate chip is one of my favorite flavors.
Where to Buy: Texas Farmers Market Mueller. Also sold at Bee Grocery.

The Magical Macaron
It’s in the name – these macarons are magical! Flavors like browned butter vanilla bean and salted caramel are favorites and don’t hesitate to try a special flavor.

Mom and Pops All Natural Frozen Pops
This dessert is especially great on those hot days at the market. These popsicles are made with all-natural and organic ingredients. I recommend strawberry lemonade. They also do chocolate-covered pops!

Murphy Mellows
Marshmallows are an underrated dessert and these are unlike most marshmallows you’ve tasted. They’re not only fluffy and have the perfect amount of sweetness, but they come with fun swirls and tie-dye. Eat them by themselves or try the s’mores in a jar or a s’mores kit.

Scull House Sweets
You’ll recognize this vendor by its colorful display case of hand pies. Blueberry, brown sugar cinnamon, and strawberry are the typical flavors but look out for specials. While you’re at it, grab a slice of cookie cake. 🙂

Sweet Charli Girl Bakery
I finished my cookie-filled cookie (chocolate chip with crushed Oreo) from Sweet Charli Girl Bakery and regretted that I only bought one pack. 😀 You won’t even believe all these treats are gluten-free! I also love that this bakery is named after a rescue pup.

Teddy V. Patisserie
These huge chocolate chip cookies are decadent! Can you believe each cookie has about 125 chocolate chips? The only decision you need to make is with or without walnuts?
Where to Buy: Texas Farmers Market Lakeline and Mueller. You can also get frozen cookies to bake from Central Market.
