Zucchini Kill will close its outpost at Tweedy's Bar, located at 2908 Fruth St., on November 1, 2026. The vegan bakery is clearing out inventory ahead of the move as it searches for a new, larger space in Austin.

Why it matters

The closure is driven by evolving property coding and regulation requirements. Fans of the bakery can still find operations at the North Loop location at 701 E. 53rd St., which has recently expanded its daily hours.

The bakery is closing its Tweedy's Bar location, with an final sale and pumpkin painting event scheduled for October 31. The North Loop storefront remains open daily starting at 10 am.
