Where are the best bakeries in Dallas?
Going to culinary school in Texas means instantly gaining exposure to some of the best restaurants and chefs in the country. While there’s obviously a ton to be said for this benefit, it’s also worth noting that it can be too easy to focus strictly on barbecue. As a Texan mainstay, barbecue is a local favorite, with enthusiasts dominating the local cuisine scene. While there’s ample reason to get excited about a perfect brisket or rack of ribs, Texans aren’t exactly lacking when it comes to dessert foods, either. If you’re looking to satisfy a sweet-tooth craving while in Texas or are just hoping to find the perfect place to pick up treats on special occasions, take a look at this list of the best bakeries in Dallas.
Unrefined
This particular bakery is not exactly a well-kept secret in Texas. In fact, if you live in the Dallas area, you very well may have already been to one of Unrefined’s three locations. Run by Ann Hoyt and Taylor Nicholson, Unrefined has been baking bread, cakes and other sweet treats in the Dallas area for quite some time now and has built up a host of loyal clients. The bakery, according to D Magazine, has a strong focus on catering to individuals with allergies and food intolerances, producing soy-free, gluten-free and dairy-free breads. Further, the establishment uses no artificial ingredients as a point of pride, hence the name.
The Village Baking Co.
Another favorite among residents of Dallas is the Village Baking Co, which USA Today reports is located in the Park Cities neighborhood of the city. While the bakery has become predominantly known for providing the area with fresh breads, the establishment also caters to the sweet tooth in everyone. Try a range of croissants featuring chocolate toppings.
Bread Winners Cafe & Bakery
Unlike other bakeries in Dallas, Bread Winners is open as a full-service restaurant, three meals a day. With that in mind, this is the perfect place to come in for a meal and then pick up some sweet treats for you and your family on your way out. Located at 5560 West Lovers Lane, this bakery has become a favorite of tourists and locals alike and is definitely worth checking out if you get some free time while in Dallas.
