Bread Winners Cafe & Bakery

Food wasn’t great. Most menu items have too many seasonings and flavors going on. A failed effort to be fancy. Waffles were soggy. Fried steak was soggy. Biscuits and gravy and sausage tasted all around terrible. Location is so beautiful and picturesque, but save your money and go else where if you want to actually enjoy your food.

I returned to Bread Winner after two years, and I’m so glad I did! The ambiance is just as wonderful as I remember. We came for breakfast and were not disappointed. I ordered the honey glazed salmon, which was delicious. My wife had the Croque Madame, which came with grilled rustic bread, ham, Swiss cheese, jalapeno cream gravy, a sunny-side-up egg, and brunch potatoes. She loved it! Overall, we had a fantastic dining experience and enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend!

The outdoor patio was nice and dog friendly. The food was solid, the Royale burger, fries and pasta salad were tasty but nothing extraordinary. Service was subpar, our waters were never refilled, not offered to go boxes and had to go inside to cash out since our server took a long time. I may come back to try the breakfast menu, the breakfast plates seemed to be better based on other what other tables around us

This is now my favorite breakfast place. The avocado toast was the best I’ve had. The steak was so good. And what can make great food better? The service. Our server Randy was so nice & attentive. I’m so glad I brought in my birthday at Bread Winners in Uptown Dallas

I’ve come here a couple times with my husband and it used to be a great place but I guess because of how busy it is they are starting to neglect a lot of things. The process of registering/sitting on the table was a little messy, you wait to be called and then they told us to stand on a line and out of nowhere a whole group is moved and if you don’t pay attention you’re left behind. Our waiter was extremely nice and helpful. I always order the crispy chicken and waffles but this time the chicken was battered very badly and just drenched in a mix of spices and salt. The coat separated as soon as you cut the chicken and it was just awful. The waiter tried to fix it but brought basically the same. I just ate the chicken without the skin. Waiter apologized and he even admitted that the kitchen was just very busy. Everything is done in a rush. This was a total disappointment.

Cute brunch cafe and bakery. We came in on a slow, rainy Friday afternoon. I cannot say I was impressed by the service. It took longer than expected for how slow the restaurant was and several staff were standing around talking. I was very hungry and thirsty as was my friend. I opted for the Normandy French toast. I would rate it a 3/5. Not much flavor at all, it was just bland and not very good. Did not get the cream cheese flavor if it was even there. The cheese grits, however, were the best part. They are so sultry and savory with the perfect texture. I also enjoyed the warm biscuit plate to start. Overall, I think this place is very trendy but lacking quality where it matters.

Great place to eat breakfast, went there with family. The wait was short and the cold brew coffee is great. The waffle is amazing with syrup and butter. The bacon is nice and greasy. Overall it was a fun visit with super good food!

The chicken fried steak was flavorful and filling; if you have a sweet tooth then i definitely recommend the french toast as well! The service was really friendly and there is plenty of seating both inside and outside to accommodate larger groups!

3.5/5 Overall We got the French Ham Benedict, Normandy French Toast with a side of Maple Pork Links, and the Brunch Tots. The brunch tots were definitely the star, solid 4.7/5 great flavor but asked for the sriracha on the side. My Benedict was okay, the asparagus is a really weird veggie to sprinkle throughout the dish but didn't take away from the flavor. Hollandaise was delicious and the croissant and ham were as expected. The French toast was not super impressive but still a good basic sweet breakfast. The sausage links were pretty terrible though. Flavorless and cold and genuinely unappetizing to eat. Overall, I would say the food is solid and good but nothing mind blowing. Our server was very kind and efficient, no complaints there. We were sat right away and food came out very quickly which was nice. The place can get loud but has very cute seating areas, is a super cool and unique spot to eat. Great for pictures.

Neat building with sort of a bustling ambiance. Service was good. The baked tots were great, but I would really recommend without the sriracha, I enjoyed them a lot more without dipping into the sriracha we requested to be on the side. Normandy French toast was okay, not quite fluffy enough and the crust of the toast wasn't really a good crust. A bit much on the jam side for me. I also added Maple Pork Links, which was a 6$ side, and I received two of them. They were horrible. Genuinely room temperature at best, and with 0 flavor. Definitely the worst part of the meal. The benedict seemed pretty good from the few bites I had. Overall, not super impressed for the price. The price for the sides and french toast is pretty bad - this all ran us about 57$ before tip, with just waters.

This is my second visit and it keeps getting better! The food is always fresh, hot and delicious. You cannot visit without trying a baked good. Once I try them all, I'll come back to give recommendations. Service was decent. I'm blaming the mid-day rush on the service. If possible visit in the middle of the week. My first visit was on a Friday afternoon during the Cotton Bowl and the service was superb! Bread Winners is located in a nice area with decent parking. I usually Uber there for my own sanity. It is a cute and quaint area. There is plenty of seating and the decor in the different dining areas are the perfect backdrop for social media. Ample lighting and plenty of natural lighting.

Bread Winners is a Dallas staple when it comes to breakfast and brunch. Expect a wait if you don't have reservations or don't go early. They have an excellent menu and delicious pastries and desserts. Everything I had on their menu was delicious and the prices are reasonable for their menu. For their appetizers I recommend their cinnamon roll. It was big and came out very soft and just melted right in your mouth. For my entree I got the country fried steak one of their most popular items on their menu. The gravy was delicious and came with two sides. I also go to try the croque madam which is bread, ham, Swiss cheese, gravy, with egg and potatoes. We got a pancake on the side the pancake was a little smaller than expected. Another issue is the parking they don't have much of a parking lot. Overall we had a great dining experience and service and food was excellent.

After much anticipation and acclaim in finally made my way here for brunch. It was busy bit we were still able to be seated right away. I don't like that the two person tables inside are so tight to the walls and corner. I was uncomfortably squished in. Yes i should have said something, but also, it's obvious to tell when someone looked stuffed into a space thats too small- plus there were other tables available. Our server was extremely friendly and helpful. Drinks were good, although my friend send back her pineapple upside down mimosa and got a spiked frozen strawb lemonade instead- the first wasn't sweet enough for her. We shared an order of the brunch tots and they are a tiny bit spicy but so delish. Definitely recommend! For mains she got an eggs benedict with cheesy grits and said it was super yummy. I ordered the croque madame with brunch potatoes. The potatoes were not very exciting but the croque madame was very tasty. I will delivery be back to try more things. I hear their chicken and waffles are super good too. Its a bit pricey here, but definitely worth a visit!

Pet friendly! Food was good. And the staff were very nice to us and our puppy. Definitely would like to go back again.

Went here for Mother's Day and it was overly packed & raining. I wasn't aware this place was built like a maze to get to different seating sections of the restaurant. A lot of stairs to get to the other side and it was wet so I was afraid I might slip. But all went well. However, the vibes were off for me on the area we sat in. Bathroom didn't have hand soap or paper towels. Now on to the food: I have the chicken and waffles. Waffles were OK. A breakfast meat that was overcooked was mixed in the waffle. The fried chicken and the gravy sauce with jalapeños was excellent! That really saved the review to keep it at 3stars. Frozen lemonade was good as well. We had to pay to park across the street in the open parking lot - $16 If I were to ever eat here again, it would be takeout.

My first time here and the food was amazing! I got the chicken and waffles and it was the best I've ever had! So full of flavor. I also got a mocha latte and that was also really good. 10/10 would recommend

Garlic Cheese Grits are my absolute favorite and my go to drink is the coffee with whiskey and I always get the two eggs breakfast with the jalapeño bacon and gravy. Love the environment because it makes me feel like I'm in NOLA

The chicken fried steak was flavorful and filling; if you have a sweet tooth then i definitely recommend the french toast as well! The service was really friendly and there is plenty of seating both inside and outside to accommodate larger groups!

Bread Winners is your average decent brunch place, but with a couple of extra selling points. Though I didn't get the chicken and waffles, it's supposed to be amazing. I opted for the chicken sandwich instead, which was pretty good. The avocado toast met expectations - a little overpriced, tasted fresh and healthy, nothing exciting. The cake though...we had the strawberry cake, which had the taste of ice cream and the texture of clouds. Would highly recommend. On a Saturday around noon, the restaurant was busy but not totally packed. Their patios were open for us to enjoy. It may get a bit loud as the back patio is attached to a bar that had the Red River Showdown playing for game day. The wait staff were great as well.

We went to Bread Winners in Uptown, first of all we waited over 20 mins at the table and no one acknowledged us (It was not busy at all) My daughter went inside to ask the hostess if anyone was going to help us and she said someone will come out but again another 10 mins went by and no one helped us ( at this point they still haven't served us water) ..As we waited there we saw 2 mice come out of building...That freaked me out That was our sign to leave! Becareful going there, you don't really know if the mice were in kitchen or what?!?

Solid 4 stars for sure! Food was really good, places was popping! Our waitress was tending to everyone! She did a really great job. It was also cute sitting in the greenhouse area of the restaurant. It felt private for my party of two. We started with the breakfast tots! Absolutely fantastic! Great flavor and such a nice appetizer. Followed with the basic breakfast and the eggs Benny. I would have liked the bacon a little more crispy but it was still good. Caramel lattes and hot coffees were on point. Cheesy grits were delicious. I would definitely come back and try other items on the menu. It's definitely a Dallas favorite! Staff does a really great job seating guests and getting quality food out timely which is a make or break. The strawberry cake is light and delicious. It's not the greatest I've ever had over all but definitely an honorable mention to Dallas

Update: I reached out to the owner via email and they said they were going to "investigate" and get back to me, I followed up a week later and still no response. I am very disappointed in how this matter was handled by this establishment.

Food is pretty good and service is wonderful. Ambiance is great, there are many options for after dinner treats as well!

The banana foster waffle was absolutely delightful. It catered perfectly to my sweet tooth. Alongside the frozen lemonade infused with vodka, it offered a sweet flavor with a subtle kick of liquor. Our server was exceptional, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. The ambiance of the cafe was just right, not too dim and not too bright, creating a pleasant atmosphere for all customers.

We were in the mood for chicken and waffles but didn't feel like going anywhere on the first rainy Saturday of the season. Hubby picked up an order from Bread Winners. We ordered chicken and waffles with a side of bacon. The chicken had an interesting flavor. It was tangy (in a weird way) and herby (not in a great way). Maybe they brine the chicken and include herbs (specifically thyme). The gravy and hot sauce made it edible. The waffle was delicious!! Perfectly cooked with a nice fluffy texture. The hubs side of bacon was a bit disappointing with just 2 pieces for the $5 charge. It's been a long while since we've been to BW. This meal definitely didn't make me want to return.

I've been to Breadwinners countless times over the years, but this last visit was a letdown. Our main courses were decent, but my espresso arrived at room temperature. And then there was Richard, our waiter, who's downright creepy--constantly touching us and making unwelcome comments about our looks. To top it off, there was a dead cockroach on the floor nearby. A busser even placed his bus tub next to it and pushed the bug aside instead of picking it up! It's disappointing to see one of my favorite Dallas spots slipping and neglecting its loyal customers.

A friend of mine recommended me this place as it was "the best breakfast in Dallas", and I will say, it did not disappoint. It was super busy entering on a Sunday lunch rush, but the waitress attended us with a smile and very quickly. She was attentive and very knowledgeable on the menu offerings. Food was a 10/10, with no complaints whatsoever. The ambience is super cute. There are tons of chandeliers and natural lighting, making it a spot for any occasion. I will definitely be returning to Bread Winners Cafe!

Yelp 100 Challenge 2023 #52 Parking Street parking is available if you can find a park, if not their is a pay for parking lot directly across the street. Breadwinners has serval different locations around the DFW area and they all have a uniqueness about them. This location offers indoor and outdoor seating with a beautiful sunroom area. I didn't see many fans on the front patio but it was filled with umbrellas to provide shade. Food & Service We had a kind server during our visit. I would have loved a refill on my water cup, but luckily my husband didn't drink his. The food was phenomenal and I will be back to try different menu options. Majority of the table ordered their popular chicken and waffles with the gravy on the side, and my husband their breakfast tacos. Everyone was satisfied with their food and we also ordered a giant cinnamon roll to go. I recommend eating the cinnamon roll real time because after reheating in the over it was just okay.

Go to North Park location instead. I went here yesterday for an early lunch maybe around 11:30 on a Wednesday and my service was absolutely atrocious. My waitress wasn't that busy from I seen she only had 3 tables but for some reason kept checking on the table of all girls instead of her other to. The food was mediocre compared to the North Park location. I seen my waitress 3 times when she took my order, brought me my check, and then brought my card, on top of that it took her 30 minutes to bring me card back i contemplated just calling my bank and ordering a new one. Safe to say never choose this location again just go to north park foods really not even that great so at least have decent service

Service was amazing The inside was absolutely beautiful and unique. Food was also amazing. The complementary bread plate was good. For the most part all the bread was very moist and full of flavor The Combo #2 was surprisingly a lot of food. I got the Greek chicken salad with the raspberry chipotle chicken sandwich. The chicken to bun ratio was good. The sauce was very tasty and the bacon on it complimented it very well The chicken and waffles was very filling and good. The fried chicken wasn't dried out and was crunchy. The waffle was filled with bacon so that add an extra flavor. The waffle where fluffy. I recommend this place Looking forward to going back for their dinner!

Food was amazing, service was great and we got seated right away with a reservation. Perfect brunch spot with good music and nice aesthetic. Just be prepared to pay for parking. Paid about 16 dollars for 2 hours.

We got the Normandy French Toast, Pigs in a blanket, and California roll up. I got the most perfect chai latte ever. This 5 stars is for Lupita and Lupita alone. Lupita is a mind reader. First we came in and sat down and she said welcome back. This gave me pause because we had not been here in a year. Lupita was the one to serve us that time too but it has been at least a year so i was shook she said that. Then as we were ordering i asked for a chai latte and she said" like last time ok" and swiftly walked away, i was baffled. How did she remember that?? !! Me and my partner were deciding if we wanted to split the food or not since we would get so much. She was not anywhere near our table, yet somehow when we ordered she asked us "together or split up" we ordered it together and she brought it out separate !! This was after we decided we wanted to split it but she had already gone to place the order. I finished my water and was like wow i would love some more water " to myself with her, again, no where in our vicinity, and next thing i know she is bringing me a full glass of water. Lupita is an amazing server when you sit in her section !!!

Honestly this place was just okay. Super pricey for just okay food. I got the breakfast tacos which were good. My friend got the steak and eggs and the steak was not very good, it lacked flavor and was overcooked. I personally wouldn't come back.

Great brunch or lunch spot. Cinnamon roll is the best! Has multiple locations! I don't have anything else to say but this review makes you type a certain amount

First time here, but this place has been on my list to try for a few months. Since it was my birthday, I had the day off and decided I would treat myself to a nice breakfast. This is a nice place with many different rooms to eat in. My waitress was very helpful with explaining the menu when I told her it was my first time there. I had a nice cocktail and my food came out very quickly to my suprise. The food and the plate presentation was amazing. My only gripe was the fact that my waffle was cold. Everything else was great and my waitress was amazing.

We sat inside in the middle of their covered patio which was a little humid and small but it was a cute spot still. The food was decent, nothing special outside of breakfast foods. The service was also okay. They forgot our cinnamon roll we ordered so we just canceled at the end.

Food is below average, over priced and sitting options are not always great. Spend your money elsewhere

Came here on a quick trip to dallas. Tried calling beforehand to get an estimated wait time, but no one picked up. We headed to the destination and found parking in the back (without any issues). Parking is not free ... it is ~8 per hour. When we checked in with the hostess she said wait time would be less than 5 minutes, but fortunately we were immediately sat. Bathrooms were located awkwardly in the restaurant but overall okay. Food was decent and the waiter filled our glasses regularly and made sure we had everything we needed. I am not sure if we just got lucky with wait times, but I hope others have a good experience and check out this place!

I can understand in this day and age charging $6 for a 16oz latte. Not sure I understand that it only contains one shot of espresso. Even Starbucks defaults to two shots in a grande. But $3 for an extra shot of espresso? Egregious! And it was a not-very-well-crafted latte at that. For $9. That's a lot of money. Just be warned if you care about decent coffee and your bank account balance.

I ordered Breadwinners for take out and cannot say enough good things! Their hours make it perfect if you want an early lunch or brunch foods. I ordered the greek chicken bowl and it was DELICIOUS! Definitely a bit on the pricier side but a great choice for work lunches or orders on the go! Can't wait to go in person!

Bread winners has always been one of my favorite restaurants; however I was slightly disappointed today. While I love the assorted bread which was served complimentary before, there is now a charge for it. Additionally, the menu is really expanded - which wasn't needed. The food was still amazing and I was surprised for them to bring me hot sauce and ketchup in little to go items.

Server was great! Everybody recommends this place when you come to Dallas, I've been to both locations and the food is okaaayyy I don't know if it's worth the hype but it might be my fault because I get the basic options on the menu. I'll definitely be back and try other stuff on their menu.

A Dallas Landmark, for the baked goods and excellent menu. It is clean and bright, with an attentive service and staff, and not rushing us. Bread Winners is the best place for French toast, thanks to their own sourdough bread and the freshest of strawberries. It os generous in portion, and can easily serve two people, We waited too long to visit. What had changed? Parking. It is now a privilege, not a right ;), 12.00 for two hours. Keep up the good work Bread Winners!

First time here because local said to try it. I gotta say it was good but not great. The patio seating would be very nice if are ok with the Texas heat and the restaurant's great attention to trying to cool down the outdoor areas. Try to get there early as it appears they have a line and a very small area for waiting. I was not impressed by the BW Benedict. The eggs were not poached but more fried. The hollandaise was lacking flavor, however The potatoes were tender and flavorful. My son loved the pancakes and bacon on his plate. The scrambled eggs were fluffy but not as appetizing. We were a bit underwhelmed by the service as we asked for a sweet bread sample plate and it was left out of our order, not charged but not noted either. We had to ask for jelly for toast twice before it showed up. Seemed like staff was a bit overwhelmed. The saving grace was the bakery portion. My son loved the Rice Krispie! I am incredibly impressed by the white chocolate berry cake! It is spongy, creamy and delicious!

Delicious food, super friendly staff and ambience is on point. Definitely order the Normandy French Toast.

One word. Amazing. I went here for breakfast on a Saturday morning around 9. I was thoroughly impressed. The service was top notch and my entrée was delicious. I got the chicken and waffles without reading and was pleasantly surprised. The chicken breast was seasoned to perfection and the gravy and hot sauce combo were great. Then there's the bacon filled waffles. Bomb! The ambiance of this location was very cute. Apparently it's an old church.

I highly recommend getting here early on the weekends/busy holidays. This place is always super packed, but I have also gotten there around 10am and the longest I've waited is 30 minutes for a table. Since the restaurant as tons of tables inside and outside- it's pretty quick service. Overall it's a very cute environment- it gives me very much New Orleans French Quarter vibes. The food itself is really good. They also have a great grab and go bakery area in the front- HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE HUGE CINNAMON ROLLS! OMG! And if you're dinning in- ask for a cinnamon roll for the table to share! They are so good!!! Overall this is a great brunch spot !

Food: I was disappointed. Can't say anything was memorable or worth the money. My salad fry fried chicken with barely fried breading on the outside. The potatoes with the steak and eggs was seasoned well, but need a crisp of some sort. The chicken fried steak needed more gravy. I don't know if it was just what we ordered wasn't poppin on the whole menu was like that/ Service: Mediocre. Our waiter couldn't answer any of our questions. Like what kind of bread was this after putting it on our table. Also, My salad came out incorrectly. Environment: Honestly, this was the best part to me. So many different rooms and seating options inside and out. They do make you pay the credit card fee, so if you don't want to pay the extra bring cash.

Great food and service! Just remember on weekends you will wait to be seated but it fast....

We got here bright and early, and were welcomed with complimentary muffins. Food was excellent; we ordered the fried chicken and waffles, and the croque madame, and were not disappointed. It's perfect for brunch as long as you can get a seat. Bread Winners is very popular for brunch, and for good reason. The bakery is also excellent, and you can get pastries, muffins and cakes to go! Would strongly recommend takeout on weekends (you can order over the phone, but I find it much easier to order online via their website), since it does get very crowded.

Went for brunch with my sister and cousin. Visiting from out of state this was our first visit (they both live about an hour+) away so seemed central. Area is cute and looks like the popular hot spot section neighborhood. Went ahead with paid parking across street - little pricey for day time and need to use app. When we got out of car we could hear the music! Yes - that loud! We couldn't make reservations in advance for the time we wanted and arrived just about noon, but were on list for just minutes before being called. Place is bigger than first glance. Table was inside in a smaller room with about 5 tables only. You would think it made it intimate but the acoustics are horrible. Sitting at a 4-top could barely hear each other. They really should put in some cloth or sound cushioning inside- there are definitely ways to try and fix this. Our very nice waitress even walked close and leaned down to get the order due to the volume. It's brunch, not Friday night happy hour! Service was great. She was quick, got orders just right and gave no impression of wishing we'd move on quickly after meal to get next set in (don't worry we take that into mind as we tip). Even friendly staff as we all had to walk to restroom during/afterward - since you basically walk through the set up area/pass to get through. Food came so quick we didn't think it was ours at first. I had the Normandy stuffed French toast. Not too sweet and very good. Sis had the French ham Benedict and cousin the Basic Breakfast combo. All were very good! Good size portions too. Walking through, plus the extensive menu made it almost tough to decide- but we were all happy with our choices and the pineapple upside down mimosa. We also picked up a few bakery items to take home. The second reason besides sound to lower my score is the restroom (at least the women's). 2 stalls (neither ADA) - 1 stall if you push the door in hits the toilet- if you pull out (from the top as no handle) you hit a person at sink. Plus it was dirty. I understand it was end of a weekend brunch rush..but that is still not right when someone is there to enjoy the great food and service.

The server was more into socializing with a friend of theirs than being attentive to our table. We asked him for a bag to put our to-go boxes in and he told us just to go get them ourselves. I couldn't believe he told us that when it's part of what a server does for guests. It needs to be noted that the restaurant has a very bad noticeable odor as soon as you walk in. It doesn't appear that cleanliness is a priority at this location.

Went here last weekend for brunch. We ordered the breakfast tacos, and chicken and waffles. For drinks we got and iced coffee and a chai tea latte. Service was wonderful, fast friendly and accommodating. Food was so/so the chicken lacked flavor but the waffles were good. 6/10 The breakfast tacos were okay, I don't know if we'd get it again. 6/10 Their Cinnamon roll warmed up is DELICIOUS. The Chai tea Latte was a 10/10 for me. Super good.

Not bad. If you get the banana bread French toast, ask for the whipped cream on the side. They give you a lot and it's not worth taking the rest to-go for later if it's covered in it.

The food and service were disappointing. We were seated in the upstairs which looked look an old area for storage. Service was extremely slow as well.

Had a nice breakfast here. Someone recommended putting hotsauce and syrup together with the pancakes and eggs and sausage. I don't know why but it worked. Nice place to eat at. Worth going back to.

Quaint little place for brunch. Building feels very rustic New Orleans feel with wrought iron and wood interior and interior courtyard. Service was great. Servers were really friendly and helpful in picking menu items. We ordered: - coffee was very good. Full body and aroma - Croque Madame Sandwich - perfect combo of saltiness and creaminess. Egg was perfectly cooked and bread had great texture but potatoes a little bland and chunks were small - Leo's scramble was clean tasting - chicken and waffles - waffles were Good texture and had a kick from the cheddar, bacon, and jalapeño. Chicken was a bit dry therefore 4 star rating - French toast was very rich tasting with the cream cheese middle and real whipped cream topping. Didn't need the syrup since was plenty sweet - gumbo and half sandwich was comforting and perfect for the cold rainy day in Dallas

Yes, yes and yes. The cutest brunch place with a menu filled with tastebud favorites!! The mimosas were on par but the brunch was even better. Appetizer was the yummy tots - just get them! I enjoyed the french toast and chicken with cheesy grits - yummy. Every time I visit Dallas this will be a must! Okay, breadwinners... whats in the french toast recipe? I just want to know.
