I make handmade jewelry and they made it easy for me to sell a number of items and see the other local handmade art work. The only problem I had was that of any shop and that was from petty theft. Earrings are easy to steal.

This spot has so much to offer! Part gallery, if you are looking for unique artwork from local artists, this is probably the best place in Austin. Part museum, there is a lot of information regarding Austin and the family that owned the bakery. And part visitors center, if you are a tourist and unsure of where to go or what to do, the staff will provide a map and fantastic recommendations to help you enjoy all that downtown Austin has to offer. The people I spoke with were extremely helpful and were more than happy to help! Right by the Capitol building and totally worth the visit!

This place is popular with tourists since it across the street from the State capitol. It supports local artists with handcrafted merchandise and an upstairs art gallery.

Volunteer-staffed and uniquely Texan, the Old Bakery is a hot spot for tourists and jaded Austinites alike. I liked the original artwork donning the ways and the variety of locally created crafts. I liked the recycled paper table top Christmas trees for sale.
