The Clarksville district has just gotten a little sweeter. SusieCakes, a beloved neighborhood bakery known for its nostalgic, scratch-made treats, has opened its second Austin location at 1111 West 6th Street. This marks SusieCakes’ second Austin location, following the success of their first shop in the West Wood neighborhood at 3267 Bee Caves Rd.

Founded in 2006 by Susan “Susie” Sarich, SusieCakes has become a go-to for those craving a taste of classic American desserts. With locations across California, Texas, and Tennessee, the bakery has built a reputation for offering homemade sweets made fresh daily using only ingredients one would find in a 1950s pantry. The menu takes inspiration from Sarich’s grandmothers, whose timeless recipes help evoke a sense of nostalgia and comfort.

“We are delighted to open our second Austin location and especially pleased to have found such an ideal close-in downtown home in the Clarksville Historic District,” said Sarich. “SusieCakes is all about family, neighbors, simplicity and connection, and Clarksville emanates those values.”

Enjoy seasonal flavors and timeless treats

In keeping with its tradition of seasonally inspired treats, the bakery will be offering fall-themed items like Pumpkin Latte Cupcakes, alongside Austin-centric favorites like UT Longhorn Cakes, available throughout the football season.

SusieCakes’ reputation for high-quality, homemade confections extends beyond just cupcakes. The bakery also serves a variety of cookies, bars, and decadent frosted layer cakes, including Southern Red Velvet, Six-Layer Old-Fashioned Chocolate, and Vanilla Celebration. These treats are crafted without artificial ingredients, staying true to the “from scratch” promise that has made the brand a favorite for those seeking a slice of home-baked goodness.

SusieCakes will be open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., offering free parking beside the building and additional street parking nearby. Customers can also place orders online for their signature sweets or custom cakes.

With its second Austin location, SusieCakes continues its mission to bring people together over timeless desserts that remind them of simpler, sweeter times. For more information or to place an order, visit SusieCakes.com.
