Cake and Spoon

First trip to Austin and found this delicious little gem while paying omage to Franklins BBQ where I got a sharing of the best pecan pie that has possibly ever existed. Maybe it was just the best accompaniment after the most delicate brisket ever but I just had to taste more of these pies before we left.. without waiting the 2 hours in line ofc.Well we tracked the pies down to the SFC downtown farmers market on Saturday morning where not only were the fresh pies warm, but Melissa's golden personality as well! It's safe to say that one visit will make you a regular. I know that I will be coming back just to get my fix.

A farmers market stand with so many indulgent looking baked goods. You know it's going to be a tough morning when you have to choose between pie and cake! But thankfully, whatever you choose, it will be great.Key Lime Pie: It's a good pie when you can't decide whether you like the crust or the filling more! The crust was one of those graham cracker crumble crusts. Instead of random clumps, it was uniform coarse granules and a nice buttery taste. Thick too! The filling was so creamy with nice tangy bursts of lime. Didn't have any of that funky curd aftertaste, which is a great achievement.Chocolate Pie: Looked like it might be a soft pudding pie, but the chocolate was more like a thicker ganache texture. Very rich! Had to eat it in two sittings. The buttery crust and whipped cream are essential to cut the chocolate intensity.Texas Pecan Pie: A very generous amount of fresh pecans on top. Lightly toasted so not to taste raw but also not overdone. Tons of goopy brown sugar filling underneath the pecans to give an intense sweet burst to the nuts and to the dough. And wow, that pie crust was firm and buttery and delicious, a real great pairing to the rest of the pie and I'm not normally one to care about crust.Buttermilk Pie: Essentially like a custard pie, where the custard is very buttery and very flowing. The runny pie filling was great against the familiar firm buttery crust. Not as intense as the other pies, but it works.

Mom's birthday and she doesn't like cake. What does she want? Pecan pie. I don't have a good recipe for pecan pie. So I Yelped and found this place. Praise Goddess!This pecan pie transported us. It was worth its weight in gold. It was the best pecan pie I have ever had. Granted... I haven't tasted every pecan pie. My cousin, an Austin native, had multiple pecan trees on her property. We made pecan pies together. But THIS pecan pie was in a league all by itself. It made my generous mother hoard the leftovers and hide them behind the condiments in the fridge. I never got to have a second piece!

I have had their specialties at joints like Franklins BBQ and these are special bakery items. Made with care, rich and delicious that you can't go wrong with any of these items. Short but sweet review.

Let me start of by saying that I never considered myself a PECAN lover, let alone one of pies. Now, I am no connoisseur, but, i'll be damned (excuse the french) if this isn't the BEST Pie. My brother picked a few pies along with our order from Frankline BBQ ( a moment of silence). I am a life long fan. So much so, that I have inquired about shipping these to NY for my wedding next year. Hopefully my guests don't see this. Each person will get one to take home! I spoke with Melissa on the phone. Such a sweet lady :). Unfortunately, they do not offer shipping :( hopefully ya'll have a loving relative who is kind enough to ship and or fly these to your destination. Another reason for me to love visiting Austin - Hugs

For someone who is super picky of dessert I have to say, if I see their product I will buy! The best pies and scones I have this side of the pond.Pies, not overly sweet and the perfect bite. The taste is right on even for picky key lime eater. My favorite is the banana bourbon, pecan pies and key limes. The flavor is right on and not artificial, unbelievably good. I typically can get this at Franklins BBQ or at the farmers market.Scones, what they are well known for at the farmers market. I am skeptical of scones outside of the UK because that's where I had the best and in the states they make it so hard that I have a hard time trusting. However cakes and spoons scones are very moist and the flavor comes thru so well. I am impressed! My mother in law had it and loved it also, however they don't ship pies but would special order for pickup. I can't wait for the next party to have these goodies. Very delicious and worth the trip to farmers market or franklin bbq. Heard they have a co-op that you can trivia it for tasting, that would be interesting!!

Pies here are amazing. No physical location, though it is at the Saturday farmers market and Franklin's BBQ. The pecan pie was the best I've ever had. Not too sweet yet just perfect with a buttery crumbly crust. I ate it gleefully over the course of three days, not sharing a crumb. I'd love to try the banana bourbon which I heard was also really amazing.

Cake & Spoon makes great scones, pastries, cakes, tarts - you name it! Everything I've tried from Cake & Spoon has been delicious. Their orange and chocolate scone is one of the best scones I've ever had - crumbly as scones should be, but more moist than any other scone I've had.I've never had anything like their Spanish Almond Cake which is really moist and brings out the best of almonds.

Tried the apple pie and chocolate orange scone, that I picked up from the Lakeline Farmer's Market. The scone had impressive giant chunks of chocolate. I couldn't taste the orange though and the scone overall was pretty basic. The apple pie however was excellent! Delicious flaky crust and perfect texture and sweetness on the apples. I ate it heated up with vanilla ice cream and it was one of the best apple pies I've had!

Terrible pies and they don't open when they say there open.My husband and I called to order 220 pastries for our wedding. We came down there twice.Closed.
