La Casita Bakeshop

What an absolute gem!! I’ll be coming back here again and again. The flakiest croissants you’ve ever tasted, guaranteed. We got some baked goods, two Turkish lattes, the praline pancakes, vegetable hash, and the pork belly sandwich, and they were all absolutely phenomenal. 11/10

This has become a Sunday staple…. The pork belly sandwich and Nashville hot chicken sandwich is quite possibly one of the best sandwiches I have had respectively. Not to mention the favorites are the pastries. The churro cruffin is a must have. They do have shorter hours during the week day and menu varies a little. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is homey, catch up with old friends vibe.

I held a private event at La Casita in early December celebrating my birthday. What a great experience we had. Everyone raved about the food, especially the pastries and the potatoes. Thanks to Elizabeth for coordinating a wonderful event. I'm confident that all attendees are now fans.

Overall a nice, spacious bakery. I recently read an article that said this was one of the best bakeries in the entire US! So I had to give it a try since it was local to me. They have a large indoor seating area as well as outdoor wooden picnic tables if you like to sit outside to enjoy your pastries. There was a long line when I got there, around noon, and so much of their bread that they had on the stands were completely sold out. They sell sandwiches and drinks as well as a limited selection of baked pastry goods, which are constantly changing. My biggest pet peeve was that there was no menu for the baked goods and there were no prices. I hate surprise fees/prices, so not being able to see how much each item cost really annoyed me. I was told all the pastries were around $3-$5, but I want to actually see the cost. The only prices you can actually see was for the drink menu... The pastries I chose were good. They were nice and flaky, and the selections I picked weren't overly sweet which I really appreciate. I will say there are many other bakeries out there that I think are relatively comparable to their store with potentially cheaper or similar pricing, so I think it's worth coming at least once to try, but I'm not sure if I'll come back consistently.

We went to La Casita Bakeshop in Richardson today. Nominated recently for the prestigious James Beard award for best baker & bakery, this place has been on my list of restaurants to visit for a while. Oh my was it worth it! With a continuous line of people out the door and opening at 10 on Saturday, their selection of baked goods, coffee and sandwiches was extensive and made it hard to make a decision. Go!
