Best Pastries in Garland

"Vegetarians are certainly not missing out on pastries and desserts but most of them learn to bake the healthy goodies at home from various online recipes. Here at Dallas, Reverie Bakeshop has the perfect breakfast choices to start your day. They can accommodate vegetarian and vegan diet, and even special diets based on some food intolerances."

"If you consider yourself a dessert connoisseur, Reverie’s menu will delight you. From gluten-free pumpkin cinnamon rolls to gorgeously decorated cheesecakes, this bakeshop has something for everybody. The muffins and cookies are a great option if you’re traveling through Dallas and want to bring someone a gift."

"This Jefferson Boulevard spot offers coffee that’s not cheap but offers a place to have toast with goat cheese or a turkey and brie sandwich while we sip our coffee among local art. We love that the Oak Cliff location is open until 7 or 9 p.m., depending on the night. The East Dallas location also means you get biscuit sandwiches — a total plus if you’re on that side of town."

"Jefferson Blvd and is worth a stop if you find yourself in the neighborhood. Our favorite part about Cultivar – besides the coffee – is the outdoor seating area. It’s a great place to enjoy some coffee and people watch for a few hours."

"The coffee bar offers two locations in both East Dallas and Oak Cliff. What the coffee shop lacks in space, it makes up for in quality. Highly recognized as being one of the best coffee shops in the city, it is worth a visit."

"It's difficult to find– and virtually impossible to park up close– but that hasn't stopped folks from pouring into Andrea Meyer's bijou sweets boutique. And it's easy to see why: the place is a Gallic gold mine of tasty treasures, that include everything from tarts and tea cakes (think citrus madeleines and chocolate almond financiers) to French-style pastries, cookies and scones. You really can't go wrong with anything in the pastry case, but you'd really be missing out if don't try the macarons, they're what the place is best known for."

"A small bakery known for its macarons in West Village, Bisous Bisous Patisserie is a great place to grab a sweet treat. Opened just a few years ago, this Dallas bakery makes some of the best macarons in Dallas, as well as some other French pastries. For macarons, they offer classic flavors like Tahitian vanilla, chocolate, hazelnut, pistachio and raspberry, as well as some more adventurous options such as tiramisu and passionfruit."

"The French-style patisserie has stayed open for single-person pickup since the shelter-in-place order. Which means the regular menu of éclairs and fanciful hazelnut feuilletine and mousseline St. Honoré tarts topped with chocolate-glazed profiteroles. They’ve continued to send out special occasion treats like robin’s egg macarons and seen an increase in small custom cakes, topped with macarons—fit for smaller gatherings."

"Bigdash does ice cream like no other in Dallas — Arab style. The small shop is filled with various Middle Eastern pastries and desserts, the ice cream here is made the old-fashioned way; that is, beaten smooth until dense, rich, and kind of stretchy. Rolled and crusted with pistachios, the rose-infused ice cream offers a unique textural and flavor experience."

"If you guys want to try something a bit different, you can go to Bigdash in Frisco!. They have crepes, ice cream, dessert/trifle cups, and Arabic desserts."

"You can choose from a variety of individually sized salads and sandwiches, or order “platters” if you’d like to stock up for a few days. Also choose from sushi, pizza, quesadillas, soups, and desserts. Specials go online every single day, so check the menu regularly for their latest and greatest."

"Lakewood What you’re getting: Sandwich Cubano, $7.99A classic example of a stellar Cuban sandwich here; homemade pork, grilled ham, provolone cheese, mayo, pickles, mustard, and tomatoes, all served on toasted ciabatta bread. The sandwich comes with roasted potatoes and a whole lotta love, cliché, but true. The restaurant is quaint and clean and feels very low-key, and there are plenty of other sandwiches to tempt you if Cubans aren’t your thing."

"We just discovered Tiki Loco in Deep Ellum and safe to say we are obsessed with their super cute pink tiki decor and their tacos & coffee. They are 100% plant based with GF and non-GF menu options, but we'll save all the details on their nachos and food for another post. For a pink spot with great food then this one is a must!"

"This taco joint puts a tropical twist on your usual nachos and tacos. With flavors like Hawaiian, citrus, and mango, your tastebuds are in for a treat!. Tiki Loco, 2639 Elm St. Suite #100, Dallas, Texas"

"Multiple locationsPlant-based and whole food grab-and-go optionsWeekly meal subscription services make menu planning a pain-free task, and Nature’s Plate does the same with a vegan, whole-food twist. Menus change weekly and customers can order as many or few meals as they need for the following week. A list of featured favorites offers calorie-portioned breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, including crowd-pleasers such as classic lasagna, “cheese” enchiladas, and Texas BBQ, as well as decadent-tasting desserts like fudge brownies."

"This all-vegan shop boasts 75 percent organic ingredients on its menu, including no GMO’s and strictly organic items in “The Dirty Dozen” (vegetables and fruits that have the highest levels of pesticides when grown conventionally.) This take-away shop offers options like the buffalo chickpea salad wrap, and traditional Indian chana masala, along with baked goods and snack plates. Many items are gluten free, and everything is available for convenient pre-ordering. Weekly meal plans start at $35."

"Vegetarian meals on the go can be a bit of a challenge, but this Lake Highlands spot has plenty to offer in that regard. Plant-based breakfasts, lunches and snacks are on offer, all clocking in at less than $10 each."

"Dallas' best kept secret, Zen Sushi is a modest 60-seat charmer in Bishop Arts run by veteran sushi chef Michelle Carpenter. The menu offers more of an nontraditional take Japanese fare with contemporary creations incorporating the elements of Asian and Latin American cuisine. That's not to say you won't find authentic nigiri and sashimi here, but there's also everything from brown-sugar braised carnitas bao buns to coconut panko shrimp alongside a slew of unique vegetarian options like fried tofu pockets and sweet potato tempura rolls."

"The small sushi shop in Bishop Arts features its full menu of sushi, sashimi, and rolls. It’s always been good to vegans and vegetarians, with numerous sushi roll options like avocado and shaved carrot; beet, cilantro, and lime; or the traditional and delicate, salty-floral-fresh combination of ume (pickled plum), shiso leaf, and cucumber. Also look for dishes that feature tofu and inari (sweet fried tofu skin)."

"Zen Sushi in the Bishop Arts is a Dallas based sushi restaurant that was established in 2006, by Michelle Carpenter. For more than a decade, Michelle was serving thoughtfully-crafted sushi employing American influences. Highgrade fish is closely complemented with things which can be infrequent in Japanese food."

"For anyone entering Texas state lines, Torchy’s Tacos is a must-have — as in, within your first 24 hours. Its hip-casual atmosphere and large patio welcomes families of all sizes, but the food is the real highlight. Creative taco selections like fried avocado, beef brisket, and green chile pork put all average tacos to shame."

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. Torchy’s Tacos is a popular taco chain in Texas. The queso and tacos named ‘The Republican’ and ‘The Trailer Park’ are the must-try dishes on their menu."

"I just think the food is fantastic," Ouimet says of the Austin-bred chain that has made its way to D-FW in a big way. The queso at Torchy's was voted GuideLive readers' favorite in D-FW last year."

"Fresh, all-natural ingredients come together to create some amazing gourmet burgers at Chop House Burger. Located off Main Street, this burger joint promises to impress with mouthwatering burgers and decadent shakes. Don't leave without tasting the truffle fries!"
