Bread Winners Cafe & Bakery

Bread Winners Café & Bakery at NorthPark Mall was a solid stop for lunch while shopping. I couldn’t ignore the massive cinnamon roll when I walked in, and it was even bigger than expected once I started eating it. I also ordered a salad and a chicken sandwich, both of which were good and hit the spot. The service was friendly and quick, which is a plus when you’re in the middle of a mall trip. Overall, it’s a convenient place to eat while you’re at NorthPark, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to choose this location over the McKinney Avenue spot. Given how upscale the mall is, I expected the food quality to be just a bit better.

Had brunch here this past Sunday October 5th. About a 15 minute wait. We were seated and apparently they were backed up. I believe minimal staff. Anyways, we ordered our food and drinks came out. I asked for straws for our table. The Waitress, I didn’t get her name but returned to our table and just threw the straws down on the table and stormed away. I’m not sure what happened because my back was to her but my son was very unpleased and said that was totally uncalled for. She did seem overwhelmed throughout our meal. The food was good and did not take long. I would’ve liked to give a higher rating but this place does have a problem with their waitresses. So my review is fair and honest.

Bread Winners is a great place for food and atmosphere. They have great options for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. Their decor and ambiance has a lot of character and charm. The last time we went, our party had the Sonoma Chicken Sandwich (blackened) with BBQ chips, the California Rollup (grilled chicken wrap) with fries, and the Normandy French Toast. Everything was great! Our server, Cheri, was attentive, friendly, and personable. I look forward to returning to try more options.

Came here thinking that because it was at the NorthPark center it would be a nicer location but there were various issues which caused a less than acceptable experience: - the booth seats were extremely uncomfortable in that you could feel the wooden planks through the cushion so you had to sit a certain way that would be the least uncomfortable, also the table was broken which seemed odd - the main dishes requested were not bad but the side of fruit was old, the orange slices were bitter, the grapes were soft and old, the pineapple looked old and brown, not fresh fruit - while we were still eating our food the server came out with the bill without us asking for it, we went around 10:30am and there was nobody else there so they were trying to get us to leave which was rude Normally don’t leave reviews but this was a bad enough experience to leave one about it. We will not come back to this location again.

I always enjoyed Breadwinners, then something happened where the locations went downhill in terms of freshness and cleanliness (I guess COVID). Anyway, now they charge for the table bread assortment. I used to always get the Southwest wrap. I came in at lunch really wanting the wrap. I asked the server and they rudely said “if it’s not on the menu we don’t have it.” Didn’t give a crap about hearing me out … they gave the ingredients because it’s basically the Sonoma chicken in a wrap instead of bread, so why not help the customer and at least ask if they can do it? Terrible client service.

I heard great things about the coffee, so we came straight here when we got to the mall around 11:30 on 3/18. The coffee was delicious, but so was the food. We got the brunch tots, the warm caramel pecan roll, pigs in a blanket, and the vegetarian Benedict. The pigs were some of the best I’ve ever had, and they paired nicely with the coarse mustard provided. The tots were crisp even under the yummy queso. And the pecan roll was heaven in bread form. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and had a good time!

Visited on January 2nd at 3pm. Food was nothing to gawk at, bland royale Burger not cooked medium like I asked, bland turkey croissant with 2 thin slivers of avacado. Kids turkey club was okay. Fries were not hot and fresh. And most importantly the Mexican hot chocolate was disgusting, who puts Cheyenne pepper as a topper on a milk drink? I told my waitress to remake the drink and take off the pepper and she said "This is how the mexican hot chocolate comes, so if you want me to take the Pepper off then you just want a hot chocolate." Waitress had some lip on her too this is uncalled for and unprofessional, just say okay and take it back. I told her this is not what I was expecting when I ordered the Mexican hot chocolate, as this was not specified in the menu. I got the $4 hot chocolate a few minutes later and it was nasty too. I expected more for $4 then chocolate syrup and warm milk. I expected for her to remove the hot chocolate off my tab but it was still there. FYI for that waitress and Bread winners Cafe, you do not make a drink "Mexican" by adding Cheyenne pepper as a topper. There was nothing Mexican about that hot chocolate, as a mexican myself born and raised in Mexico city how dare you call that abomination Mexican. Traditional Mexican hot chocolate is make with Chocolate Abuelita by Nestle and topped with ground cinnamon Only. If you want reassurance just ask any of the Mexican cooks in the kitchen. For my total tab to be at $93 I was highly disappointed.

The food was good. Some items were not served as expected so we got them exchanged like French toast. Chicken Sandwich was pretty good. Pancakes were good as well.

It was delicious! The ambience was so nice. It was on Easter and everything was wonderful, I highly suggest their cinnamon rolls!

Smoked Salmon Bagel with Fresh Fruit, Latte This brunch place is so cute, located in North Park Mall. Pretty large interior. We had a reservation for our group of 15 on a weekend. The food is great! Such a large variety. This bagel was HEAPED with smoked Salmon and capers, and was phenomenal. The cream cheese thing they made in house was delicious on the bagel. It was so so filling and wonderful. The fresh fruit was fantastic. Great coffee!

Came on a Sunday and we were seated pretty quickly. It wasn't too crowded and I really enjoyed the music and ambiance was chill and relaxed. Now for the food...think it was the location but I've had better at the other locations. Watermelon margarita: 8/10 this was probably the highlight of the entire meal. This was really good! Not too sweet and perfect amount of liquor. Not a fan of tajin but the drink was great. Chicken and waffles: 8/10 cooked fresh, nice size chicken breast and the waffles were decent. Pineapple upside down mimosa: 6/10 not really a fan of the flavors here. It was cute but the flavor was meh. Steak and eggs: 5/10 this dish came out cold. Steak wasn't cooked as it was ordered and neither were the eggs. The potatoes were also cold and overcooked. I enjoyed the toast though.

It is a marvelous experience in a golden palace. Magical experiences will carry you through your meal. I highly recommend.

We came to Bread Winners on a Friday morning. It wasn't too busy and our service was friendly and prompt. I had the biscuits and sausage gravy with two over medium eggs. This was a delicious option for someone who wants a classic savory breakfast.

Second time here - last time we came was about 2-3 years ago & I remember it not being very good compared to other Breadwinner's in the area. No complimentary table bread. Menu & other Yelp reviews state they are charging for it now. Chai Latte - More heavy on the star anise and cardamom side. Nice creamy consistency. Cinnamon roll - Giant! Very dense. Pretty sure it's sourdough based. French Ham Benedict - Split amongst two people & kitchen was nice enough to split it on two plates for us. Brunch potatoes were incredibly salty, underdone, borderline raw, & very disappointing - took two bites & had to stop because of how salty they were. They put an over easy egg on the Benedict instead of a poached egg. The Benedict was also incredibly salty - had to remove the croissant & ham because I could feel my mouth swelling from the salt. Only ended up eating the asparagus & egg. Overall, service was great, but I was very dissatisfied with the food. Brunch potatoes were about the same as last time - soggy. I'm guessing they switched to over easy eggs for the Benedicts because the chef can't make poached eggs properly. I believe in giving second chances for places, but according to this experience, won't be coming back here again. Definitely would not recommend this place.

Bread Winners was a last-minute-decided option after coaching a volleyball game on a Saturday. It was very easy to make a reservation! The staff is so kind and personable. I accidentally made a reservation to the wrong location, but the host staff was able to get me a reservation at their location and seat me and my partner within a few minutes. The food was also SO GOOD! Though it may be common "American Breakfast", it was delicious and cooked to our liking! This place is so yummy, with beautiful lighting and space to enjoy your meal! I marked this location 4.5 stars because of the parking toughness.

I would recommend coming to bread winners for brunch ! I came here today on a Sunday morning around 9:30am and it was pure blissful ! My son and I had a marvelous time. The hostess and waiter were super friendly. The food is fresh and yummy. I got the salmon bagel with a side of fruit. My son got the kids pancakes. I thought everything was well presented and tasteful. This was my first time eating here after hearing wonderful things, and this might be one of my favorite brunch spots now in Dallas. This place is a must from food, to service to ambience it is really fun and good vibes all the way around.

I absolutely loved the outdoor seating area. The greenery iron and bricks makes me feel like I was transported to another part of the country. The service here was decent. Food came out quick for early morning. They gave us some complimentary goods from their bakery which were really good. I had their chicken fried steak and eggs. The gravy and jalapeño jam on the nice crispy fried steak tasted amazing all together. Their breakfast potatoes were also delicious. I enjoyed mixing everything with the eggs. They were a perfect harmony together. I tasted my boyfriends kobe burger and it was on the average side. Very pricey for something that doesn't taste as good as something from fast food. Fries are decent. I recommend this place for the outside ambiance and good food. :)

This is a nice spot in the mall that we've visited for years for weekend brunch. Kid-friendly. Convenient. Nice service. Good comfort food. Never had a problem with it. Unfortunately, they've gotten "creative" the last few months with their billing, and it was obnoxious enough on the last visit that I felt compelled to post this. Tip culture has gotten out of hand. I've always been happy to tip 20% for at least passable service. But in the attached photo of our bill, you'll see that they've automatically included gratuity for a party of 5 (at 20% of the pre-tax total), which is fair, if not a little aggressive (industry standard for this seems to be a party of 6 or larger). Fine. Cool. No problem. What's bad is what comes next....they add lines entitled "Suggested Tip" (gratuity by another name) , which is a blatant attempt to trick the customer into not realizing that it has already been included. Normally when restaurants do this, they call it "additional tip" or "additional gratuity" to signal to the customer that the tip has already been factored in. Worse, these suggestions **start** at 20%! And they go up to 32%! Why not go crazy and go up to 387%? The most bizarre/egregious thing about it is that, in making these calculations, they include not only the tax (because I love tipping on what I pay the government) BUT ALSO THE TIP. Have you ever heard of tipping on the tip? What they're actually suggesting is that, calculated out, you tip 61% on the cost of the meal. This lunacy needs to stop.

Food was so good we went twice in a weekend. They serve brunch all day which was a big plus for me. Our server was fantastic. I wish I remembered her name but she was very knowledgeable of the menu and was able to make great suggestions. Make sure you get a cinnamon roll. They are HUGE!!

Desert to go review only. I used to regularly stop here and get a piece of sumpin to go. Then I broke the habit. Today everything looked so fabulous I decided to go for it. You should too... Just Go!

Service: 7/10 Food: 9/10 Coffee: 6/10 We came to bread winners since its one of the only sit down restaurants on that side of the mall. We went to the bar since tables were a bit of a wait. The bartender took a good 10 minutes to acknowledge us when we sat not far from where he was working. He was busy doing dishes and it wasn't the best feeling as a customer to be ignored. Later on another person started checking on us, so the service was a little better. Food was the saving grace. Fried chicken and waffles tasted quite good. The chicken had good flavor, but my friend said the waffle was dry. Mt tuna salad and grilled veggies were well made. Coffee tasted quite flavorless. Either the machine needed to be cleaned or they need to use better beans. I would not recommend the cappuccino. It was nice though that they provided complimentary coffee cakes that are 4 flavors. But overall the service was just subpar and 3 stars are what I can truly give.

We went for brunch....the Avocado Toast was amazing added bacon and two eggs over medium. We were seated right away and the service was great!!

The service was fine, satisfactory. The sandwich was good, BUT this gumbo is what got it such low stars. Highly disappointed and sadly I did expect more since it was labeled on the menu like it was staple for the restaurant. When they brought the bowl and I seen how light colored the roux was I knew. It had sausage that tasted like cardboard and I found one small piece of diced chicken. The rest was just rice and hardly any of the holy Trinity. (Bell pepper, onion, celery) it was sadddd.

We love coming to bread winners! Our only issue is their waitlist, if you miss the timing your table is gone, they need a better system. Their free bread is to die for and the serving sizes are huge so you're definitely getting your moneys worth!

This place was amazing! There was a small wait time due to it being the weekend, but Mrs. Sandra was attentive and sweet. My husband got the migas and I got the chicken fried steak. The plating was great, the taste was delicious. Will defiantly be returning.

I had lunch after a movie on 11/4/23 we choice it, we had eaten there many times before and the food was fabulous. it was awful I ordered a turkey croissant with sweet potatoes fries. As you can see from the pictures it was put together with little effort. Evidently they sold the restaurant in the summer changed the menu with lower quality food and chefs. I don't know how they stay open.

It's nice to have a Bread Winners in the NorthPark mall when the McKinney Ave location is too packed! Came on a Sunday and only had about a 30-min wait around 12:30 PM. We got a few drinks, nothing great. The food was really good, but I do wish the potatoes would have more salt and maybe a sauté in some veggies or something. Service was fine. Overall, I may return in the future.

This will go down with some of the worst food I've ever eaten. I ordered a simple chicken and avocado salad on spring greens. The chicken was obviously not fresh. The avocado was so mushy that it fell apart when I tossed in the salad and the greens weren't chilled, I'm surprised I didn't get sick. A bag salad from the grocery store would've been fresher. My friend had a turkey club sandwich that obviously had pre-cooked halfway raw bacon in it & deli meat from a package they didn't even try to hide that fact. When we mentioned to the waitress that the food was terrible, she said " yeah, it's pretty bad". She offered us a free dessert but after the way, the launch came out, there was no way I was gonna eat anything more from that restaurant. As a matter of fact, neither one of us ate more than a bite or two because it was so disgusting. If you're in NorthPark and want something to eat you'd be better off just going to the food court is this was ridiculous.

Chicken was dry and overcooked. The waiter seemed to act like we were bothering him. This might be my least favorite bread winners location. Too bad! It's such a great location.

Every time I go the food gets worse, the prices increase, and the quality of service decreases. I actually liked coming here years ago but it's barely recognizable anymore.

Amazing food so many varieties of everything the drinks are amazing and it's kid friendly I love it !! And it's also very fancy looking ! And ALWAYS clean !

Listen... I haven't brunched here in a long time and again, it did not disappoint!! Got here at 10 am and there was a line!! They seated up us fairly quickly. The service was good! The food was made just as I requested!! Perfect! Yum! Yum!!

Food is always solid. Location is fun and upbeat. BUT the pleasant surprise that made this an easy 5-Star experience was our waiter Jacoby. He's larger than life, literally, with a deep bass voice and an authority in his tone that says, "trust me. I know good food." And we did trust him and boy are we glad we did! His choices were spot on. I had the Farmers breakfast tacos, my wife had the Turkey BLT and our daughter had Cobb salad. All were fantastic and hit the spot. He was quick to confirm the best choice with no hesitation. He was always nearby and made sure we wanted for nothing without being in the way. He's a real asset to BW so we'll be back!

Short wait, attentive servers, and both our meals were delicious. I ordered the Croque Madame and my BF had Leo's Favorite Scramble. We enjoyed both. But he did mention he wished his meal came with toast. Don't skip on a cinnamon roll, yummy and FRESH!

Nice place for brunch and breakfast located inside the mall. The waitress was very nice and pleasant. Everything we ordered was large in servings and we couldn't finish it . Everything tasted decent except the Kobe burger which was overcooked. Drinks are decent and small in size.

My friends and I went to Bread Winners Café and Bakery because of the park next to the restaurant. Our kids were able to run around and play while we enjoyed each other's company. The server was amazing and the food was fresh and delicious. Mondays are $5 Mimosa days, too. Yummy! The Cobb salad was a generous portion.

Food and service is always good! Strawberry cake is one of my favorites also. I try to go at least once a month and not because It's expensive or anything but it's almost an hour drive. Prices on food are fair

Since this place has been under new management, it's gone way down hill, service is slow, food quality has decreased and the flavor of the food doesn't taste the same since the menu has been altered.

I would like to express my gratitude to the kind waitress named Kourtney who attended to me at the bar earlier today. Your cheerful demeanor is truly valued and necessary in a world where it often feels like everyone has lost their sanity. Bert the waiter was extremely disrespectful and offensive. He not only interrupted our conversation, but also verbally attacked both Kourtney and Vile, the female waitresses. Additionally, he dismissively treated them in the middle of the restaurant, displaying sexist and condescending behavior. The food: 5 Stars The female waitresses Kourtney and Vile: 5 Stars Bert: Should be terminated and is the sole cause for its low rating of one star. It infuriated me how he spoke to and treated two kind women. Jerk!

Parking at the mall is always difficult, but was dying to try Bread Winners. Be sure to lookout for the weekly specials on the board by the entrance. We were happy to see this Monday they were offering $5 mimosas (usually $11)! Our food came out promptly and the bartender made sure we had what we needed. The cutlery is full which made it hard to cut the food up. The avocado toast was one of the best ever. The bread tasted fresh and it had a generous amount of avocado. The other dish I ordered was migas. Overall the dish was good, just wasn't what I expected to receive for migas. The bread to start is a great perk of the restaurant. The restaurant has a great modern design!

I wish we could still laugh at reviews. Getting mad over piece of bacon is hilarious.

I came to breadwinners on the behest of a friend who lives for them. Food was mid, the bread they give is fantastic, and it's a tad overpriced for what it is.

The drinks were excellent. No complaints on the Frośe, Mimosas, or Citrus splash. Our waitress brought out coffee cake, and. raspberry pound cake. Great start ups to our meals. While we sipped our drinks, we ordered our entrees. I got the ribeye steak and eggs with grits and a biscuit. Huge portions, a lot of food. I ate half and saved the rest. Overall, I would say this was a good breakfast spot, I was satisfied with the prices and portion sizes. Yay bread winners.

3rd time in the last month coming here and 3rd time in a row ordering steak and eggs. The reason for 3 stars is 3 times in a row ordering the steak medium rare and it coming out well done. Why ask a guest their temperature preference if you can't meet expectations. Disappointed and won't order again. Bartender is always amazing.

Really enjoyed the vibe during brunch! Our service was pretty good, especially considering how packed it was. And the food was great! I plan to return soon!

I had friends out of town and they had a wonderful experience! Gina gave us outstanding service and she has making us feel welcome! The chicken and waffles were so crunchy and cooked to perfection, so props to the kitchen staff as well!

We got the spinach artichoke dip and that was actually pretty good. We ordered the burger which was ok the fries were fine but we got a sunny side up egg on top of the burger, and the egg white was still uncooked. We also got the breakfast plate that has the chicken fried steak & eggs & potatoes. It was also ok. Service was slow and honestly I would not come back.

Nice atmosphere, I was just saddened I receive my food lukewarm instead of hot and fresh. They seem like they were too many employees at the bar counter. Making utensil sets instead of checking on the food. I even saw the food runner check my food that was and walked away then returned 10 minutes later, just to bring the same food she bypassed. First impression is huge for me, in which I will not be returning.

The food is pretty good and it's located inside mall which I appreciate. But I'm absolutely baffled that they don't take reservations in this location. There's almost always a long wait when we request a table. Would highly suggest some time of reservation process to make everything run smoother.

At this time, no wait is there for Bread Winners' Sunday Brunch! So wonderful & convenient it is to drop in after walking or shopping NorthPark. When it first opened back up, I was seated at one of GINA's tables. Since then, I've requested to sit at her efficient, friendly, and, comfortable section. Delightful brunch items I've had, including their fabulous baked goodies, tasty Benedict (though eggs a tad overcooked), and, nicely made waffles. In addition, fresh, robust, and, hot are my cups of coffee; lovely is their bar; inviting and clean are their dining rooms; and, relaxing is their patio. CHEERS!

UPDATE My mom loved oatmeal. My avocado toast was great. I ordered smoked salmon on side and it was plenty. Definitely recommend to take a break from shopping at this place.

Host sucks not coming here again, wait time was given and full party waited and waited, when it was time or estimated time to be seated we checked in again. Host asked for a few more minutes, we gave them 20 more minutes. Went to ask why it's taking so long and host said she thought we were not here when we clearly checked in!!!!! Bad service!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not worth the food if service is not there not coming here again!!!!!

We had one of the most pitiful dining experiences we've had in a long time at Bread Winners North Park tonight. We arrived at 4:30 PM ... plenty of time for a nice relaxing meal before the store's 6 PM closing. BUT, the service was so slow we barely got out by closing time. In fact, they were turning the music off as we were trying to pay. There were few customers in the restaurant when we were there, but our server seemed to do everything else but take care of our order ... she even went around refilling all the packaged sweetener glasses on each table while we waited and waited for the bottle of wine we ordered almost as soon as we sat down. Even then, once we were served our wine, the bottle had been opened at the bar and two glasses poured out of our bottle. Someone should teach the bartender that proper wine service is to open all bottles table-side. They were even unable to produce the cork that came out of the bottle which makes me wonder if they're just refilling empty bottles ... another reason why opening the bottle table-side is the proper thing to do. As noted, when I asked the disinterested bartender for the cork, or ANY cork since we wanted to take some of our wine home with us, she said she didn't have the cork and instead gave us a vac-u-vin stopper to use. So, where was the cork from our bottle if it was opened only 5-10 minutes before? We were delighted to find out that we came on the Tuesday BOGO 2 for 1 appetizer night ... but of course one of the 2 we wanted was not available, so we passed on appetizers. Once we finally got our food, it WAS delicious. BUT, we came to Bread Winners to get the combo lunch -- a cup of soup and ANY 1/2 sandwich. Well, it wasn't ANY sandwich but only the 3-4 they decided was included, and not the one we wanted. I tipped accordingly. I'll also be sure to report this disaster of a meal to Yelp and any other such site. We will find another place to dine at North Park for future trips.

Came here yesterday morning with my family and close friend. Service was great and timely. They had great options and I had the vegetarian benedict. It was very tasty and filling (should have taken pictures before diving right into the food, lol). However, the breakfast potatoes that it came with were a bit too hard for my liking but it's okay. I just need to replace the side with something else next time. This was my first time and I'll be sure to come back. :D

Food was fine. Passing the credit card fee on to the customers...not so much. Would still come back, but would have to bring cash.

1st time in Dallas the food was delicious... They start you off with this variety of breads that are so delicious OMG !!! Then the food is cooked to perfection and the service is stellar... will be a go to place when we visit Dallas again.. Not to mention it's in the mall

I've seen the Yelp suggestions to go here for some time and finally got to remove that bookmark. What a great place for a change of pace quality meal! We were here to celebrate a minor milestone in a career and this fine establishment made sure it was special! It is easy to find in the North Park Mall and is near an entrance. It was right at lunchtime on a weekday and there were a few open tables so no wait. The service was the best feature. Multiple people were looking after us besides the designated server. Absolutely a 5 star dining experience! We had simple sandwiches, but the prep, food quality and flavors were top notch! I had a BLTA on a croissant with sweet potato fries. One of the best I ever had. The croissant was flaky, buttery flavor, and delicately crisp on the outer most layers (Or in other words, perfect!). The bacon was really good! Price was a tad high, but well worth the value for the experience!

This location is inside the mall. Lots of seating options. They weren't very busy on a Monday evening and we were taken to our seat immediately. Our server was friendly, but service was a little slow especially for there not being many people there. The bread brought to the table was really firm chewy and you had to really work at it to get it down. To me it seemed old but my husband said he liked it. He had the meatloaf, which comes with mashed potatoes and fried onion bits. I had the roasted chicken thighs w/hash and salsa brava. Every thing was good, just not as good as I hope for. The portions were pretty big. The star of the show was my husband's bloody Mary. It was muy delicioso! It was the perfect amount of spicy and I loved the lime salt on the rim. I don't even like blood Mary's, but this one turned me around. Would come back just for that.
