The Village Baking

Very cute ambiance! The pastries are good. NOT the place to go for coffee. They serve an 8oz macchiato...? The cappuccino is 12oz and the espresso drinks always taste kinda watery. The last few times I ordered coffee it was like-warm. Overall I love this place because it's very cute and the staff is always friendly, I just don't recommend for coffee.

I do want to try it all. I am so close! A new item for me is the zucchini pecan muffin. A few bites in and the sugar hit me. Too sweet for me. Pity I cannot finish the $5+ item. I tried the chocolate cake. Cake was tasty and moist. Frosting was not overly sweet. Generous amount of frosting! Of the two employees I interacted with, both had smiles and were friendly!

The comforting aroma of fresh breads and pastries mixed with the smell of freshly brewed coffee is what welcomes you as you enter. I knew everything was going to be delicious by the smell of things. I had a couple of hours to blow before an appointment so this was my first stop. I had a vanilla latte and a maple pecan loaf. The loaf was perfect....not really sweet, really light and the pecans! I bought a croissant and a kouign Amman to share and the consumers were blown away by the taste. Next time I'm in Dallas, I will make this place my first stop again. The food was fantastic, the service was awesome and the parking was free!

We stopped by on a Sunday morning to get some pastries with friends. There was no line when we came in and the girls working were very sweet to us. The vibe is like a French bakery and the decor is beautiful. I loved every detail. I ordered the raspberry Kouign Amman and my boyfriend got the chocolate almond croissant. They offered to warm up our pasties so we got them warm. I was impressed by the quality of my kouign amman, it was so delicious and soft on the inside while the outside was chewy and crispy.

Not very familiar with this area but it's located among many other shops on the street.Parking is available in the front but limited. Might suggest the nearby garage but gotta walk a bit. Cute little bakery offering many French style baking such as croissants and baguettes, but also sandwiches and pastries. Unfortunately, we arrived a tad late in the day which left us limited in choices. But it's okay! Still picked the last almond chocolate croissant and a croissant.Staff friendly and offered us to heat both up. And that's my preference in tasting them. Accompanied with a cold Mexican coke, that helped so much in cooling down from the outside 100° ! I ordered the chocolate croissant because chocolate. Found the croissant a bit on the denser side. Inside is cute and bathroom (1 only) is at the back of the place. Inside also offered a couple of small tables to enjoy, otherwise there is a few seatings outside as well. Easy spot to stay and enjoy some French style bakeries!

07/05/2024 Friday 9:25am. Think this is their newest location. The staff is super helpful and friendly. It was nice to sit outside and it was a fairly quiet street. The pastries themselves were not as good as the other locations. Kind of bummed about that. It was a better location as it wasn't far off the freeway. I will give them another try soon.

Came to this location on a Saturday morning and it was crazy busy understandably. There were no free seats indoor or outdoor so my wife and I got our order to go.We got the bacon cheddar Jalapeño croissant, ham and cheese croissant, chocolate croissant, and one other Blueberry pastry. The croissants were amazing!! So airy and flakey and had a great flavor with the fillings. The chocolate croissant was perfectly sweet, and the bacon cheddar Jalapeño croissant was nicely savory. I feel like I could eat 10 in a sitting.

MOLD IN CAKE POP. I purchased a special, themed Valentine's Day Cake Pop this morning (Friday, February 14, 2025) as a gift for my valentine. After she bit into it, WE FOUND LARGE SPOTS OF MOLD ALL AROUND THE CAKE WITHIN THE ICING. We are both disgusted and upset; this mold also ruined a great Valentine's Day gift (and it was like $5 which is like so much for a cake pop anyways). I have spent a lot of money at this (overpriced) bakery over the last few years, and this is just no way to repay a loyal customer.

Hmm not the same as several years ago . I've already left a review about the way they changed up the croissants. ( went from the absolute best in Dallas. Buttery dense and chewy to over-proofed lightweight and run of the mill) but I kept coming back for the other pastries This morning I got two laminated brioche two kouign amanns a baguette and a jamón beurre. The sandwich was stale and tough to eat. And not on a baguette but some very thick sub roll. The kouign amanns were squished flat about 1/2 the height as usual and no clue what happened to the laminated brioche. Puffed up and tasted rubbery. Maybe bc it's New Year's Eve?? Have not tried the kouign amanns but hopefully they are delicious as always (even if condensed and flat). Curious about what is going on. Did they get sold to a corporate owner. Fyi still wonderful tasting baguettes. In the past I have not minded paying their prices but my last couple of trips has me rethink whether to make a special trip. They get 3 stars for having a nice selection of pastries. BUT down from 5++ stars years ago before they expanded.ps my wife ate one of the laminated brioche pastries and pronounced it as good as ever so perhaps i was unfairly put off by the visual gaps. Also I tried the Kouign Amann and it was delicious as usual, even if a bit dense. This pastry (and the baguettes) are the reason I'll continue to stop by when I'm in the knox street area. so back to a four star. I must have been in a grumpy mood :)

Village has dropped in quality over the past 3 years. Once, a real artisanal bakery has become kind of a "corporate" mass baker that is mailing it in on both quality and especially service. Stale, cold baked goods served first thing in morning coupled with obnoxious, disinterested service is now the experience at Village. Dried out croissants, crumbling, barely edible muffins and uninspired(stale too) Paris ham sandwich are now sadly expected at Village. Overpriced and a big disappointment.
