"This is the third Austin-area bakery shutter in a month. First, there was gluten-free Wells Branch bakery Dream in late August." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Wells Branch’s gluten-free Dream Bakery is closing this week. Its last day of service at 14735 Bratton Lane, Suite 210 is on Friday, August 26. The reason behind the shutter is a “combination of skyrocketing costs, supply issues, and labor shortages,” as the owner Karen Fry explains on Instagram, as well as the pandemic impact. “While we had hoped to make it through the holidays, we’ve had some recent setbacks, and the time has come now,” she writes. The impending closure was announced on August 19. Originally, Dream was opened by founder Azar Owlia in Anderson Mill in 2005. Fry took over in 2016, and expanded with the Wells Branch location in 2018 (taking over what had been Bribery Bakery). The Anderson Mill bakery closed in 2019. The bakery is known for its gluten-free cakes, croissants, and other baked goods. as well as low-carb, and keto options." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Dream Bakery Cafe, known for its custom cakes in Anderson Mill, expanded with a new bakeshop up in Wells Branch. It took over what was Bribery Bakery’s original location at 2013 Wells Branch Parkway, Suite 109. It opened in late March. The new bakery will serve up cakes, as well as pastries, like muffins, croissants, cinnamon rolls, tarts, scones, and cookies, along with savory lunch dishes like mac and cheese, soups, and vegetable wraps. Plus there will be ready-made whole cakes and cakes by slice. Then there’s coffee, tea, juices, and sodas. As for the space, Dream kept the cute look of the bakery, from the pink wallpaper to the pink pastry display case to light fixtures. Because of the new location, the Anderson Mill bakery will cut back and only focus on customized cakes, including ones that look like beer cans, burgers, or whiskey kegs." - Nadia Chaudhury
