Found this place several years ago. It offers top quality handcrafted items made by area senior citizens, and a terrfic lunch: soup and sandwich for about $4.25. It's right downtown, and easy to get to. Highly recommended. more

The Old Bakery & Emporium in Austin, TX is a really neat place to shop for something unusual, for yourself or a gift. All the crafts are made by Austin's Senior citizens and they also volunteer their time, to keep the place going. My husband and I both enjoyed our visit there. more
