July 29, 20196 yr Quackenbush’s Intergalactic Dessert Co & Espresso Café They apparently have another location that still exists. http://www.quacksbakery.com/home Edited July 29, 20196 yr by IDIOTsavant Added link.
July 29, 20196 yr Quackenbush's was on the drag. It's now Quacks in Hyde Park and serves delicious pastries.
July 29, 20196 yr Author Thanks. Settling a bet. I thought it was Quackenbush’s. She thought it was Intergalactic. Clearly I’m right.

Well it was both, but everyone called it Quack's. I was an engineering student and not nearly hip enough to go there, though. They didn't allow me south of 24th street or west of Speedway, for the most part...
July 29, 20196 yr Extra credit if one of y'all can name the movie that it was 'featured' in? Well, shown in 1 or 2 scenes anyway. and nope, it wasn't "Slackers," Top 5 answers are on the board...

In 94-95 the place between Scientology and the co-op that was two stories was Insomnia, I am 100% certain. Later renamed Metro (not sure what year). Quackenbush's was a block over over between the church and Wooten barber shop. Edited July 29, 20196 yr by hornbri

July 29, 20196 yr Yup, it was Insomnia, later Metro. I lived at the Woo my first year at UT (94-95) and spent many late nights there. There was an Eckerd Drugs next door back then. The kid who played Hirschfelder in Dazed and Confused worked there for a while. Edited July 30, 20196 yr by Foggy Notion
