TBBC added a full savory menu along to their menu of ready-made baked goods in April to celebrate the business’ one-year anniversary. “We also have locally produced hot dogs topped with bear cave-made toppings,” Dills said, adding that “bear cave” is a term used to reference house- made items at TBBC. Hours of operation: Mon.-Wed.: closed, Thurs.: 8 a.m.-3 p.m., Fri.-Sat.: 8 a.m.-8 p.m., Sun.: 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
Dills said TBBC started with pop-up mar- kets in Austin. After a while, they found an opportunity to take over a South Austin space, noting that it was then they began stretching their “savory legs” to include Southern comfort food. The couple took their next big step in spring 2023 when they opened the cafe bakery on Main Street.
