La 57 - Dallas

The service here was great! They have such pretty pastries and a fairly wide selection. They are located inside the farmer's market food hall. Parking, just like for the rest of the market, is very accessible in the garage less than a block away with the first 2 hours for free so pretty feasible to stop in for pastries and head out. The big downside, and I don't know if it has to do with the timing of when we got our pastries, is that they do not taste like they look! Ours were very stale and we bought them right around noon. Maybe if we had gone earlier in the day it would have been better, but for a ~$10 pastry I expected fresher.

This is in a food hall at the farmers market in downtown Dallas. Inside has ac. This space has a bar of chairs and table. The workers are super nice and gave great recommendations. The goat cheese and bacon is very strong tasting and somewhat sweet so if you prefer more delicate , the almond croissant is a good alternative, it's creamy, nutty, and flaky. The drink is sweet and much to my liking. The parking, however, is a bit difficult. For a secured spot, you do need to park in a paid lot. I parked about a light away for around $14 for the day via QR code . The one closer was $8 am hour. There are free street parking but this can be hard to get.

Kinda disappointed in this place. Everyting looks good, but most of the pastries are kinda soggy and dont have much texture or crunch. From their croissant wheels to their breakfast tacos, theres not much flavor either. For being so popular (and expensive), I was hoping for alot more all around. Visually everything looks great here, but flavors and textures are lacking.

First off, this is a stall insides the Dallas Farmers Market, so parking is hard to find, usually paid, and it is quite crowded in the general Market. However if you are already nearby, or can get over that, I definitely recommend. I got the ham and cheese croissant, almond croissant, and strawberry and cream supreme, which they are seemingly famous for. The supreme was $10+ so I probably wouldn't order unless a special occasion, but it was definitely the standout star. The almond croissant was not quite as almond forward as I typically like so probably wouldn't order again. The croissant itself though had great consistency. I don't appreciate that they don't have prices listed for anything which, when accompanied by a long line with lots of people waiting for you to checkout, discourages people knowing how much they're paying for what. They also don't have a lot of seating, or silverware/napkins out. overall, if this was a standalone store, I would definitely go again. as is, I'll only pop in when i'm already headed to the DFM. 3.5/5

La 57 is inside of the food hall behind the Dallas Farmer's Market. It was a pleasant surprise! The bakery is so cute and the pastries all looked incredible. I picked an almond pain au chocolat, which was the best I've had in a long time, and a brownie, which was so dense and big and full of chocolate chips and yummy. I also got an iced creme brulee latte, which is definitely on the sweeter side but I didn't mind because I have a sweet tooth. Service is prompt and kind. They get busy but they keep it moving!

I'm going to start off by saying this place was a huge disappointment I went here wanting to try the viral croissants. Not to mention it's $10 for one but what's even worse is all that money just to throw it away, it was stale and the flavor wasn't appetizing at all. I went with the Matcha and I absolutely love anything Matcha. This was a huge disappointment and I should've gotten a refund but quite frankly idk if you can. Save your time and money

I've tried this place a few times and I'll say the pastries are pretty decent, the one issue I have is that sometimes the bread will look and taste stale. I've also been a bit deterred from seeing flies land on the bread in the display case since the case doesn't have doors to close the bread in. However, drink wise I've only tried one drink, the maple latte, and it was delicious but I can't speak on other drinks. On the other hand, a great point are the workers who are always very nice while taking orders and handing out the drinks.

There was a constant line on Sunday afternoon for this Farmers Market bakery. Got a brownie (nice sized portion), and almond croissant...Compared to Carte Blanche (closed) and Village Bakery, their almond croissant was not as flaky or crisp, almonds were nice and toasty, but the almond flavor on inside inside tasted like box pudding. Have not tried the brownie yet, but was not impressed with their croissant. Not sure if I'd return. Staff was friendly enough, and line moved pretty quickly.

This stand has such great appeal and potential but their processes need major attention. I've gone twice now and waited 30+ minutes for my order. The pastries seemingly are grab and warm up yet they take so long to come out. With that, my most recent order was cold and chorizo taco was 1/3 full. I asked for a reorder and was assured it was in the works, waited 20 more minutes and finally had to tell them I needed to leave and to cancel. At that point they said they never had my order up for reorder so I waited for nothing anyways. I'd love to see this place make improvements in staff friendliness, attentiveness, and swiftness.
