Bread Winners Cafe Celebrate 30 Years in Business in Dallas | Eater Dallas

"Celebrating its 30th anniversary as a Dallas brunch institution, this Uptown eatery occupies a century-old, characterful building whose haphazard charm keeps regulars coming back. Weekends are competitive for patio tables as diners flock for mimosas and classic plates like eggs Benedict, waffles and the particularly popular chicken and waffles. Founded and run for nearly three decades by Jim and Cindy Hughes until a 2022 sale to Josh Bock, the operation now emphasizes longtime staff and bakers as the core of its appeal—something the current COO says explains more about its longevity than the menu alone. Recent changes include technology upgrades, an expanded slate of “healthy” options and the removal of complimentary bread (patrons often still add a pastry plate for $1.75), while anniversary promotions and plans to expand beyond Dallas into Allen and Southlake signal growth; the overall vibe blends upscale dining with a casual, friendly atmosphere across multiple locations." - Courtney E.
