San Martin Bakery and Restaurant

"This gorgeous bakery also serves a mean sit-down breakfast. Highlights include poached eggs with prosciutto and arugula on an English muffin with Hollandaise sauce, a Belgium omelette with black beans, and a cup of oats with almond milk. Add on a basket of freshly baked bread just because you can." - Courtney E. Smith

"An out-of-the-way Uptown block facing the peaceful expanse of Greenwood Cemetery might be an unlikely place for a world-class brunch, but San Martin Bakery & Cafe, a soaring temple to Guatemalan pan dulce was never going to remain any kind of secret—it's just too much fun. Come for a quick cafe con leche from the bar, to fill your basket with reasonably priced breads and pastries, or for a full breakfast (you can choose from a wealth of seating arrangements). There's nothing quite like this place, in Dallas or beyond." - David Landsel

"San Martin Bakery, a Guatemalan sweet shop known for its perfectly flaky pastries, will soon open its doors in Uptown Dallas. The bakery will arrive in the coming weeks at 3120 McKinney Avenue, according to its Twitter account, bringing a brand new destination for coffee, croissants, bread, sandwiches and more to the neighborhood. Founded in 1974, San Martin Bakery operates nearly 40 locations across Guatemala and El Salvador, where its earned a loyal following for its pastelitos, empanadas, palmeritas, and French breads. In addition to the pastries, San Martin Bakery will also serve a menu of sandwiches, salads, soups, and of course, burgers. The bakery’s cold brew coffee is reportedly famous, and a menu of boozy options like sangria will also be on offer. Assuming that the Dallas location is like San Martin’s other outposts, expect for it to become an all-day destination in Uptown. Uptown will have to wait a couple more months for the arrival of San Martin Bakery — it’s expected to open in “mid to late” July. Stay tuned for an official opening date." - Amy McCarthy
