Our Story

Two Austrians on a Mission

Little Austria was started by Berni and Helene, two Austrians from Carinthia who couldn't find authentic strudel in the U.S. — so they started baking it themselves. From a shared kitchen with a mixer, an apple peeler and a rolling pin, they've grown into an award-winning bakery, still hand-stretching every sheet of dough paper-thin and filling it with locally sourced ingredients. No artificial extras, no corn syrup, no palm oil — and the apple strudels are 100% plant based.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I reheat my strudel?
Pre-heat your oven to 350℉ and warm the strudel on a baking sheet for about 15 minutes. Shipped frozen strudels: bake from frozen, 20–25 min at 375℉ (convection) — never thaw first.
Can I freeze strudel?
Yes — strudel keeps up to 6 months in the freezer (shipped strudels up to 9 months).
Do you have vegan options?
Most of our apple strudels are 100% plant based — look for the V mark when choosing your flavor.
Do you cater?
We do! Order 48 hours in advance and select your desired pickup time at checkout. Pickup at our Sterling bakery or any farmers market we attend.
Where do you ship?
We ship nationwide with Goldbelly. Strudels arrive frozen with dry ice, ready for you to bake and enjoy at home.
Are your strudels gluten-free?
Unfortunately no — the hand-stretched dough depends on gluten for its paper-thin elasticity. Our strudels are made in a facility that also processes nuts, dairy, soy and eggs.
