"Cake is just one of the offerings this bakery has, but it’s one done well. This scratch bakery has been around since 1981 and it’s hard to beat the simple, elegant cakes here. Takeout cakes can be preordered online." - Courtney E. Smith
"The campus-adjacent bakery is back in the form of an Airstream trailer and a lovely little garden space. On deck are its delightful baked goods, from breads to cakes to croissants. Preorders can be placed online; takeout orders in person; and there are outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Texas French Bread is undergoing rebuilding after a fire in 2022. It aims to reopen in summer 2025 with a new space, currently operating as a food truck with garden space." - Nadia Chaudhury
"While, yes, the building housing the exquisite bakery and restaurant in the Heritage neighborhood was destroyed in a devastating fire in early 2022, Texas French Bread is still going strong, albeit in a different format for now. As owner Murph Willcott works to rebuild the physical space, the bakery is operating as a food truck in its garden for breakfast and lunch, serving sandwiches, pastries, and cakes. Lunch preorders can be placed online or in person; there are outdoor dining areas." - Nadia Chaudhury, Erin Russell
"The now-alfresco restaurant is closed today, with a plan to reopen tomorrow at the delayed 10 a.m." - Nadia Chaudhury
