Mrs. Johnson's Bakery

4909 Airport, 452-4750 Daily, 8am-noon

An Austin institution since 1948, Mrs. Johnson's must have passed millions of hot fresh doughnuts out the little drive-in window to generations of early-morning commuters, after-church crowds, and famished students who, er, need to run out for something sweet in the middle of the night. In addition to the classic glazed doughnuts, there are apple fritters, cinnamon rolls and twists, cookies, brownies, and sausage kolaches. You can also pick up your dunk of choice, cold milk or hot coffee. Currently, Mrs. Johnson's is open only 'til noon every day.
