A Dallas bakery chain is expanding: Village Baking Co.<\/a>, known for its croissants, breads, and charming atmosphere, is opening a location in the southwest corner of Preston Center, at 8411 Preston Rd #101.<\/p>\n

They’re going into a small storefront facing Kate Street, right next to the old Starbucks (which is now a Verizon). According to a release, they’ll open on August 22, with a soft opening on August 20.<\/p>\n

This will be the fifth location of Village Baking Co., part of the company’s measured expansion since its debut in 2004. The location is a 1,050-square-foot space inspired by a classic French caf\u00e9, with an expansive pastry case, full-service espresso bar, and cozy seating.<\/p>\n

This outpost will feature all of their trademark staples: chocolate and almond croissants, ham and cheese, and bacon jalape\u00f1o croissants, and plus a new egg-and-cheddar add-on option to turn a croissant into breakfast.<\/p>\n

The shop will also continue to serve customer favorites like quiche; sandwiches including smoked turkey and bacon, or the French jambon-beurre; fruit tarts, bread, and baguettes.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt its heart, Village Baking Co. is about more than just great bread,\u201d says CEO Andy Wallace. \u201cIt\u2019s about creating spaces that feel familiar and joyful \u2013 a place that builds community where people want to gather and return, whether it\u2019s for their morning coffee or a mid-day sandwich.\u201d<\/p>\n

Village Baking has been a longtime bread presence in Dallas which opened its first wholesale bread bakery and boulangerie on University Boulevard in 2014. The space had a small storefront where they could sell breads and baked goods to the public, but no seating. That led them to Greenville Avenue, where they debuted their quintessential French-style boulangerie in May 2015.<\/p>\n

There are also locations in Bishop Arts<\/a>, Knox Street<\/a>, and Oak Lawn, each designed to create a neighborhood presence and a commitment to quality.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur growth strategy remains focused on quality execution and long-term sustainability,\u201d say co-owners Mark Plunkett and Seth Bame in a statement. \u201cPreston Center offers an ideal mix of residential density and a neighborhood feel, aligning well with our brand and customer base. We are excited to continue growing in Dallas and look forward to serving the community surrounding our Preston Center location.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to its storefront locations, the Bakery also offers catering services, whether it be for a wedding, corporate gathering, or an intimate celebration, its exquisite baked goods and savory treats are available for online ordering and delivery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Dallas bakery chain is expanding: Village Baking Co., known for its croissants, breads, and charming atmosphere, is…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":157971,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,1596,10084,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-157970","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-dallas","10":"tag-openings","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-tx","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115054573492349423","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=157970"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157970\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/157971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=157970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=157970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=157970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
