chaiwali

I came across Aliya almost 2 years ago while walking thru the dallas farmer’s market. Her warm smile is what caught my attention, and once I saw she had chai, I knew I had to try it! I have tried all the blends that she offers, my personal favorites are the masala chai & the lavender chai. Masala chai is perfectly balanced without one spice overpowering the other. Whether you are a new chai drinker or someone who grew up drinking chai like myself, you are sure to love Aliya and her blends.

I love this chai!!! I try to come out every weekend to get a cup. The blends are made with whole cardamom pods! So delicious

Excellent and authentic chai. Offers hot and cold drinks as well as loose leaf tea

Tucked inside the Lorenzo Hotel, La 57 is one of those rare hotel spots that actually feels worth going to even if you're not a guest. I rolled in for breakfast and left wondering if I should come back for lunch. The yogurt parfait was loaded with fresh blueberries, strawberries, toasted coconut, granola, and peanuts. Not the usual sad scoop of vanilla with dusty oats. This was textured, creamy, and actually filling. A total win for starting the day without regret. And the ham, egg, and cheese croissant? Crispy, flaky layers with gooey, melty goodness inside. No sogginess. No rubbery eggs. Just a warm, buttery hug. The vibe is calm, the food's fresh, and it doesn't feel like you're trapped in some overpriced hotel cafe. Highly recommend for a casual but legit breakfast in Dallas. Tip: Grab a seat near the windows for good light if you're solo brunching like a pro. Would absolutely come back. Even if just for that croissant.

Came here because someone told me it was where I could get a breakfast taco and while they were correct, there is SO much more in this place! I was blown away by the baked goods in this place. They literally did not look real they looked so perfect and some so big. As tempted as I was, I was thankfully able to resist because I really do not need the sugar or the calories! I did get very nice and pleasant service from the gentleman at the counter. He was so nice and tolerant of all of us who were looking and trying to decide. In my case, I was also snapping pictures, please take a look at my photos to see the amazing looking goods they have ready to go for you! I just ordered the breakfast taco. The taco was good, not great. I think what threw me off a little was that it had mozzarella cheese on it, and in my mind mozzarella and eggs just don't go together. The ambiance here has a bit of a food court feel to it. Essentially you order and then take your food to find a table and eat. I cannot quit thinking about the baked goods here and will have to try them on my next visit to the Dallas Farmers Market!

Was able to try this place this past weekend. My wife and I decided to try the pastries at this location since they looked so good. I went ahead and ordered a Chocolate Croissant and my wife order two pastries: Strawberry cream Danish and Apple Danish. We both thought that the pastries are a bit on the expensive side for what they taste. The girl at the counter was nice and courteous.

Pretty solid place in the farmers market! I got their iced raspberry biaco, a breakfast taco, and their cinnamon roll croissant. The raspberry coffee was good with a strong raspberry flavor which I enjoyed. The taco was bigger than I expected for 3 dollars, but it was more like a quesadilla the way it was flatten w/ the salsa verde which carriedddd the flavor. The pastries look sooo good but they're pretty average, I feel like mine had a bit too much icing in the middle. Also on Fridays they have free cookies for a $10 mỏ more purchase which is nice!

This is in a food hall at the farmers market in downtown Dallas. Inside has ac. This space has a bar of chairs and table. The workers are super nice and gave great recommendations. The goat cheese and bacon is very strong tasting and somewhat sweet so if you prefer more delicate , the almond croissant is a good alternative, it's creamy, nutty, and flaky. The drink is sweet and much to my liking. The parking, however, is a bit difficult. For a secured spot, you do need to park in a paid lot. I parked about a light away for around $14 for the day via QR code . The one closer was $8 am hour. There are free street parking but this can be hard to get.

The service here was great! They have such pretty pastries and a fairly wide selection. They are located inside the farmer's market food hall. Parking, just like for the rest of the market, is very accessible in the garage less than a block away with the first 2 hours for free so pretty feasible to stop in for pastries and head out. The big downside, and I don't know if it has to do with the timing of when we got our pastries, is that they do not taste like they look! Ours were very stale and we bought them right around noon. Maybe if we had gone earlier in the day it would have been better, but for a ~$10 pastry I expected fresher.

DALLAS, TX 75201 / BAKERY / SUN 11-26-23 / BREAKFAST +The baklava pastry was delicious. +The little one enjoyed his chocolate pastry. +The food stall was nice and clean. +Customer service was friendly.

You CANNOT go wrong with any of their pastries! They are super yummy (savory or sweet). The cashier was so kind and gave tons of suggestions, and she is super knowledgeable about their menu. Super delicious!

Kinda disappointed in this place. Everyting looks good, but most of the pastries are kinda soggy and dont have much texture or crunch. From their croissant wheels to their breakfast tacos, theres not much flavor either. For being so popular (and expensive), I was hoping for alot more all around. Visually everything looks great here, but flavors and textures are lacking.

First off, this is a stall insides the Dallas Farmers Market, so parking is hard to find, usually paid, and it is quite crowded in the general Market. However if you are already nearby, or can get over that, I definitely recommend. I got the ham and cheese croissant, almond croissant, and strawberry and cream supreme, which they are seemingly famous for. The supreme was $10+ so I probably wouldn't order unless a special occasion, but it was definitely the standout star. The almond croissant was not quite as almond forward as I typically like so probably wouldn't order again. The croissant itself though had great consistency. I don't appreciate that they don't have prices listed for anything which, when accompanied by a long line with lots of people waiting for you to checkout, discourages people knowing how much they're paying for what. They also don't have a lot of seating, or silverware/napkins out. overall, if this was a standalone store, I would definitely go again. as is, I'll only pop in when i'm already headed to the DFM. 3.5/5

La 57 is inside of the food hall behind the Dallas Farmer's Market. It was a pleasant surprise! The bakery is so cute and the pastries all looked incredible. I picked an almond pain au chocolat, which was the best I've had in a long time, and a brownie, which was so dense and big and full of chocolate chips and yummy. I also got an iced creme brulee latte, which is definitely on the sweeter side but I didn't mind because I have a sweet tooth. Service is prompt and kind. They get busy but they keep it moving!

I'm going to start off by saying this place was a huge disappointment I went here wanting to try the viral croissants. Not to mention it's $10 for one but what's even worse is all that money just to throw it away, it was stale and the flavor wasn't appetizing at all. I went with the Matcha and I absolutely love anything Matcha. This was a huge disappointment and I should've gotten a refund but quite frankly idk if you can. Save your time and money

Literally AMAZING!! Everything I tried was delicious! Sandwiches are so good and their pastries taste like heaven!

Went here on 3/25/25. Coffee is good. Pastries are old and stale. Person helping us was very busy with their cell phone.

I've tried this place a few times and I'll say the pastries are pretty decent, the one issue I have is that sometimes the bread will look and taste stale. I've also been a bit deterred from seeing flies land on the bread in the display case since the case doesn't have doors to close the bread in. However, drink wise I've only tried one drink, the maple latte, and it was delicious but I can't speak on other drinks. On the other hand, a great point are the workers who are always very nice while taking orders and handing out the drinks.

There was a constant line on Sunday afternoon for this Farmers Market bakery. Got a brownie (nice sized portion), and almond croissant...Compared to Carte Blanche (closed) and Village Bakery, their almond croissant was not as flaky or crisp, almonds were nice and toasty, but the almond flavor on inside inside tasted like box pudding. Have not tried the brownie yet, but was not impressed with their croissant. Not sure if I'd return. Staff was friendly enough, and line moved pretty quickly.

This stand has such great appeal and potential but their processes need major attention. I've gone twice now and waited 30+ minutes for my order. The pastries seemingly are grab and warm up yet they take so long to come out. With that, my most recent order was cold and chorizo taco was 1/3 full. I asked for a reorder and was assured it was in the works, waited 20 more minutes and finally had to tell them I needed to leave and to cancel. At that point they said they never had my order up for reorder so I waited for nothing anyways. I'd love to see this place make improvements in staff friendliness, attentiveness, and swiftness.

We've visited several times. This location is in the farmers market barn indoor area. The pastries were really nice. The coffee is subpar. The hot drinks always seem to be warm. The people are friendly.

I was excited to finally have access to supreme croissants, which I've loved in other cities on vacation. There's a definite lack of care here. The outer layer was completely dried out. The frosting on top tasted like the canned stuff from the grocery store and was desiccated, rock hard. The filling was sickeningly sweet and artificial tasting. I don't know if the owners have never had a good version of a supreme croissant or if this is some kind of execution problem but I would be embarrassed if I was a business owner and this was my signature product.

Visited this little cute coffee place more for there unique looking pastries they have nothing to extravagant really the taste was good and where definitely made fresh I'd come back just to support the locals
