An Iconic Guatemalan Bakery Has Arrived in Uptown | Eater Dallas

"A Guatemalan bakery and sweet shop established in 1974 is making its U.S. debut in Uptown, occupying an expansive space at 3120 McKinney Avenue redesigned by Coeval Studio, which added a living wall of ferns. With nearly 40 locations across Guatemala and El Salvador, the bakery is best known for French breads and pastries — including savory empanadas, palmeritas (palmiers), and flaky pastelitos filled with guava and other fillings — as well as cakes, pies, cookies and a selection of coffee drinks. It also serves breakfast, lunch and dinner cafe-style fare like sandwiches. After a months-long delay, the Dallas outpost opened this week and is now open daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m." - Amy McCarthy
