Latham Bakery

Locations in Canton, Forney, Kaufman, and downtown Garland, Latham Bakery is a cute neighborhood bakery that make all kind of pastries and cakes. Their display is impressive and it'll make your mouth water. They also make custom cakes for any occasion. Not only that, they serve scrumptious cafe lunch like salad, soups, and different types of grilled cheese.However I found the baked goods to be very subpar. I ordered blueberry danish, strawberry shortcake and spinach and goat cheese quiche. Blueberry danish was the best- The filling was very good and not surprisingly too sweet. You can really taste the blueberry! It even has streussel topping. The quiche was very heavy on the pastry, and the pastry bread itself was good. It was PACKED with spinach and you can really taste it. However, it could have used alot more salt or some kind of flavorful sauce as it tasted really bland by itself. No seasoning at all! On to strawberry shortcakes.. first of all it has beautiful presentation. The cake it self was moist and sweet, while the frosting was not very sweet and marshmallowy. But I could taste that it was frost bitten and not fresh. And as someone else in the reviews said, the frosting did taste heavily like Crisco (shortening) which was not pleasant. As a fellow baker, I would rather have them use real butter and cream to make the frosting rather than use crisco just for stability!

Great soup and sandwiches here!A nice variety of fresh pastries. Smiling counter service and clean dining area. They also have a nice rewards program for cash off your next visit. Recommend this downtown Garland lunch spot!

This place is great, the food is amazing but the bakery is off the hook.. the best strawberry cake ever.. a must visit if you're in the area

I've been meaning to check out Latham Bakery for a while. I tried a slice of German chocolate cake and a coffee. The bakery is right off the newly refurbished downtown Garland Square, across from a hemp shop. It's clean and spacious with a lot of cafe table seating. They have a full menu of breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Their customer cake prices are reasonable.The cake I had was deliciously sweet and moist with an almost fudge-like frosting. A bit sweet for breakfast, but I have no regrets.This place would be perfect for working except the Wi-Fi connection was a bit spotty.The barista was friendly and kind. I'll definitely be back!

I'm so happy Latham bakery is in garland! It's a must stop whenever we're in canton. This place has some of the best pastries I've ever had and is quite the cute space. We came in after a day on the square and luckily they still had quite a few pastries left even though it was later, the service is prompt and you order at the counter. We got the pecan sticky bun and the strawberry cheese danish. Both were excellent as expected and even tasted better the next day. I've had their pies and the pound cake on different occasions and they are amazing. I'm so excited this place is here and If you're in the square in garland this place is a must try!

Cute store front in downtown garland. Good lemon cake, jalapeno quiche and blueberry muffin! Would definitely come back!

Met some friends here for dinner. They have a rewards program and give an educator discount. The service was great with friendly, helpful staff. The restaurant is very clean and well maintained. The portions were really good, especially for halves, and they don't skimp on ingredients! Where most places use blue cheese crumbles on their salads that can be dry, the blue cheese on this salad is fresh and creamy. Their poppyseed dressing is not too sweet and the salad itself is very fresh. Granted, there's nothing overly creative about a club sandwich, but fresh ingredients on fresh toasted sourdough bread make it delish and that's all that matters The sweets were taken to go for the boyfriend, so I don't know how good they are but everything looked so good it was difficult to choose! I really wanted one of everything...I don't know who does all that baking, but they must weigh 500 lbs! How could you possibly bake all of that deliciousness and not eat it?

I really like the product here. I've probably been here at least 30 times. They make all our birthday cakes. I love all their goodies, from the coffees to the cookies. The staff is great, always friendly. My only complaint and it's kind of a big complaint is that they never clean their tables. Like I said I've been here dozens of times and have never seen anyone ever cleaning the tables. Very often, including today, I have to sit the cleanest dirty table. The dining room is so cute and you can see the thought that went in, but restaurant 101: wipe off the tables as soon as someone leaves, especially if you are asking for a tip.

Great locationGreat service Amazing selections Everything was fresh abd and delicious

Delicious food and pastries. Customer service is prompt and friendly. I hadn't had German potato salad in a while and the one at Latham is perfectly made. I'll go back for sure.
