Edible Austin

🥖✨ JoJo’s Bakery is a family-run, Texas-inspired, European-style bakery tucked into the Cuernavaca community—and it’s been a lifelong dream realized for founder Lily Swartz (Painter), who grew up in the neighborhood. After training at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, and honing her craft in Chicago and Austin at spots like Commodore Perry Estate, South Congress Hotel, La Patisserie, and Bittersweet Pastry Shop, Lily brought her talent back home.

The bakery is named after Lily’s grandmother, Joann—“JoJo”—who believed deeply in sharing love through food. Her legacy lives on through JoJo Bread, a potato sourdough made from a multigenerational starter and now the star of the bakery, showing up as cinnamon rolls, kolaches, and sandwich loaves.

And yes—we ordered their Christmas cookies this season, and they were fantastic. Beautiful, nostalgic, and genuinely delicious—the kind you’re proud to put out for guests (and maybe hide a few for yourself).

JoJo’s Bakery is quickly becoming a go-to for everyday treats and special celebrations alike—and a true community gem.
