Forget Boxed Chocolates

Since 2011, Capital City Bakery has been serving cholesterol-free, locally sourced, vegan baked goods and you’ll find every cupcake and pastry needed for all of your Valentine’s Day gifting. From layered rainbow cakes, to cupcakes with sprinkles, nothing beats gifting your sweetheart with a sweet treat from Capital City Bakery.

See a Show Together

Make more memories this Valentine’s Day and instead of binging your favorite Netflix series, explore Austin’s entertainment scene. From comedy and musicals to concerts and plays, there is always something happening in the Capital City for every kind of couple. If you are a couple that loves to laugh, check out who’s taking the stage at Esther’s Follies and prepare for a night of hysterical comedy. But if live music is more your scene, you can’t go wrong with an evening at The Mohawk.
