Dallas has grown a serious artisan bakery scene, spread across the neighborhoods rather than concentrated downtown. Village Baking Co., founded in 2004 and now running several outposts including its Greenville Ave and Bishop Arts locations, turns out some of the finest almond croissants and sourdough in the city. Oak Cliff Bread mills and ferments local Texas grain into naturally leavened loaves, and Empire Baking Co. has been Dallas's longest-running craft bakery since 1992, with shops on McKinney Ave and West Lovers Lane.
