Village Baking

I was in town for work and stopped by with a friend and was blown away. We shared the vegetable quiche and a cinnamon sugar brioche roll. Beyond delicious! The staff was friendly and outgoing. Highly recommend!

What a perfect little gem! Stayed at The Melrose and didn't want a big breakfast so we dropped in. We had quiche Lorraine and it was perfect. It was a rich wonderful egg pie. Great coffee as well. The young lady working the counter was very kind and nice. It's a cute little bistro motif with plenty of seating inside and outside. Great spot!

After a long flight, i definitely needed some breakfast and was craving a croissant and I found this cute place! I have some others on my list to go to but this one is very close to the airport so it's a good stop by.This would be a good place to catch up with friends or study for a bit. The bathrooms were clean and it was too busy (even if it was Friday morning). I'll definitely be back for some more tasty treats!

Village Baking off Oak Lawn is a one of several locations around Dallas. This is a good thing because their baked goods are excellent, and this is a very convenient location for people who live in the area.My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return)Atmosphere - While the location is convenient, the parking is not. Good luck finding a parking spot - because there are only 4 spots. Inside is a warm, cozy bakery with a few tables for patrons. Village Baking's best feature will be the baked goods sitting behind the glass. The only problem is choosing what you want to eat. 1/2 Star (no parking)Service - The staff is great and patient. The staff will help you make some selections, choose the appropriate packaging, and will even craft you a great cup of coffee. Nothing but good vibes here. 1 Star.Food - Every item is good, from the flaky croissants or the many cakes. But I go to Village Baking for Kouign-amann and laminated brioche. The Kouign-amann combines sweet, salty, sticky, buttery, crispy, flaky, and tender elements. It has a hint of caramel. Try this: carefully break into its flaky center, take a bite, then chase it with black coffee. Repeat until there is none left. The laminated brioche also has multiple layers of butter which results in a flaky and layered texture. When you sink your teeth into the buttery brioche it unravels in delicate, flaky layers with every bite. Also goes well with black coffee. 2 Stars.Will I Return? - Only if I'm in the area. The good news is Village Bakery has multiple locations throughout Dallas and the pastries are all excellent. The bad news is the Oak Lawn location isn't as accessible as other location. I'll only be back if I have no other options. 1/2 Stars.

This is a small, quaint and cute coffee shop I stumbled upon. It's was a hot day so I was craving something cold and even though this is a coffee shop, the iced tea was not bad. The server suggested their personal drink which was iced tea sweetened with lavender and honey. I loved it! I'm also a very avid tea drinker. Location 9/10, service 10/10, iced tea 8.5/10.Additionally I had the chicken salad Sandwich which tasted yummy. The croissant was warm, light and flaky and the salad itself was flavorful with nice chunks of chicken. Food 7.5/10

I love a good bakery and this place is . So many different croissants and pastries to choose from. This is a great place to come study or just get a quick bite, just be aware that parking is limited. The one thing I must mention is that they had music playing and it took me back to my childhood. They were playing redone versions of Pokémon songs from the original games and I absolutely loved it! It was the in-game music, but coffee shop versions to relax to. Subtle detail, but greatly appreciated from a gaming nerd like me lol.

Delicious pastries and quick service. They heat it up for you as well.The almond croissant was a bit too sweet for me but the chocolate kouign amann was perfect. Would recommend if you were nearby.

The place is very beautifulGood coffee, the barista is an expertGood attentionBut the croissants weren't fresh

I picked up a chocolate croissant for my Valentine- her breakfast favorite. While the staff was efficient, the croissant was a MAJOR bummer. WHERE IS THE CHOCOLATE??? I won't be back.

I hate to write such a bad review because every worker I've encountered at a Village Baking Co. has been very friendly and helpful; I want to stress that this review is not a reflection on them. When I first tried VBC's pastries at the Bishop Arts location, I found them to be bit stale and disappointing. I didn't want to judge them based on that experience alone because I went there later in the day and most of their reviews are so positive. I decided to order their buche de Noel (yule log) for Christmas. When I went to pick it up on Christmas Eve at the bakehouse location on Woodall, I was a little surprised at how small it was for the price that I paid ($56 with tax). It measured approximately 9.25 inches. But hey...quality over quantity. If it's delicious, I don't mind paying that price. When I took my first bite on Christmas Day, I suddenly became grateful that it was so small. Have you ever had something so sweet that it creates a numbing sensation on your tongue? Like your tongue's taste buds can't process that much sweetness at once so it temporarily freezes? I'm not exaggerating when I say this cake was inedibly sweet. I'm a person who likes dessert to be on the sweeter side, but this was too much even for me. I told my family I got the coffee flavor, and my mom asked me if they gave me the wrong one because she couldn't taste the coffee. Well, I couldn't either because all I could taste was sugar. The texture did nothing to mitigate the situation. The sponge cake was paradoxically both extremely dry AND too wet (you can see what I'm talking about in my picture). I suspect the baker brushed a little too much simple syrup on the cake to moisten it up.My family and I could only eat a couple bites of our slices. I'm at a loss about what to do with the rest of the cake. I hate wasting food (and especially a cake that costs $56), but we honestly can't bring ourselves to eat another slice. Maybe this was a quality control issue and a one-off problem, but when you're charging that much for a cake, you can't make such a rookie baking mistake. Alternatively, if this is how they intended their cake to taste, then I find that even more disappointing. I would have been better off buying the $9.99 Tom Thumb yule log. Even if it was equally as bad as this cake, at least the financial hit wouldn't be as painful.I've had some bad yule logs, but nothing quite so inedible as this one.
