Excellent little bakery in the heart of McKinney. The bread is fresh and. Very tasty and the baked goods.....yum. From the chicken pot pie handpie to the pineapple passionfruit Danish, they have original flavors that work. Its probably a good thing I don't live closer or I might go broke. read more

The moment I stepped inside I was transported back to one of my favorite places back home in San Diego. The smell of fresh bread spread a smile that spread across my face. I was so joyfully greeted on this cloudy & rainy morning. I immediately wanted one of everything, so I asked for a moment to take in all the wonderful offerings and make my selection. I immediately knew I wanted fresh bread to take home & selected the cinnamon raisin bread loaf. They kindly sliced it for me before bagging it up. I also chose the Banana Nut Muffin with Chocolate Chips. I planned to take my goodies home, but barely made it to the car before I dig into the muffin and ended uo finishing the entire thing in the car - it was SOOO good and so filling! When I got home I dug into the bread. My favorite bread back home was the raisin hazelnut and Bresnan's cinnamon raisins is better! Full of soft raisins the bread, while I hate this word can't think of a better description, was moist. I ate another slice and then my son (picky eater) asked for a bite. He was so impressed he asked for a slice. It's been 24hrs and there are 3 slices left! I may have to go back again this week to get another loaf. There will be many more reviews of Bresenan to come as I plan to go back and try other breads as well as the baked goods and cookies. I also plan to bring a book on one of these visits. Maybe set up in the beautiful window seats or a cozy and quiet table to enjoy my fresh baked treat with a coffee and relax. read more

I love Bresnan so much! Genuinely amazing people who run this bakery with high quality pastries and a huge space to sit. I have had everything from the butter croissants to the danishes to the full size quiche (amazing for Xmas by the way!!). My favorite pastry is the kouign amann, followed by the delicious blueberry cream cheese danish and broccoli cheddar quiche. Their coffee is also notably good, with a happy balance between coffee and sweetness. My only warning is that they often sell out of pastries - so get there earlier if you don't want to be disappointed! read more

When I walked out this morning, I had to thank the staff. Not just for kindness and delicious food, but for existing in the first place. Bresnan has become my home away from home in a lot of ways. I run here in the mornings for breakfast sandwiches and coffee. I drive in the afternoons for slices of pizza. I even come again on weekends during long walks with my daughter. This place used to be mine when I first discovered it, but now it's somewhere for my daughter and I to connect and spend time together. I love exploring new pastries and baked goods with her. I even love it more when my wife tags along to take us both out of our comfort zone with a new flavor bomb. I'm never disappointed, only satisfied. Please enjoy, spread the love, and don't forget to keep supporting local businesses like this. They do so much more than bake goods. read more

On a Sunday morning stroll in search of coffee- I literally watched them open the doors out onto Louisiana Street and the smell hit me. Walked across and checked it out. The bread smells great! They took my order immediately- a raspberry-lemon danish and a cinnamon role (HUGE). Would like more raspberry on the danish, but it was light and delightful. The cinnamon role was pull apart good, with a creamy cream cheese icing. Really good! Don't know when I'll be back to McKinney, but can't wait to try some more of their offerings. read more

We visited this place on a lazy Saturday morning! After hearing about the bakery on IG we were excited to try it! Far warning though, they were sold out of many of their popular items by 10:30 AM. We got to try a ham and cheese croissant and a pain au chocolat! They were both the perfect combination of buttery and flakey! We got the pair as a perfect set of sweet and savory. We took the pain au chocolat home and warmed it up and it was even better! We also got a few ice vanilla lattes to go and they were delicious! You can tell that they make their syrups in house! We also took a Toffee and Pecan Sticky Bun home to try later and it did not disappoint! The flavor is delicious but it is a bit dense and a lot to eat at once so it was a perfect shareable treat! While the store is small the line does move quickly and the service is great! I'm excited to visit once the expansion is finished! I will definitely be back to try a few more of the danishes, cookies, and breads! read more

Bresnan Bread and Pastry - Bakeries Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Bresnan is one of our favorite bakeries to go to in DFW. It has a great location in McKinney Square where you can walk up to it from anywhere there. They usually sell out pretty quick on the weekends and there's always a line but it's definitely worth it to get there early. Our favorite things to get are the seasonal danishes. Yuzu citrus, blueberry, and pistachio are among our go-tos. They have the best sourdough we've had here. We go for the country sour (oval) and the inside is very airy and springy while the crust is very crunchy. It has the perfect balance and tastes so good straight up or toasted with butter and honey. It's always a great experience going here and it really does feel like a European neighborhood bakery serving up high-quality pastries and breads with a Texas twist. read more

Every pastry I had here was exceptional. I wish I lived in McKinney. The cookies the perfect amount of softness with a crisp, the cinnamon rolls makes you wish you bought 3, the savory tarts fantastic. The service is sweet and patient. I went when they were building out the place and it was still a great experience. read more

Was hankering some sourdough... and the only place near us is the Coppell farmers market. Today we got the fennel raisin sourdough. Holy F*uK -- this loaf blew my mind, I had it toasted with just butter.. but it shined with a ham/turkey/cheddar/fig jam application like nothing! WOOT. As a San Franciscan who knows her sourdoughs, I applaud Brendan for (literally) a taste of home! read more

I was so excited to go to this place! I've been wanting to go for months. Sadly, my experience wasn't the best...I went around lunch time and almost everything was sold out, which says a lot about how good the bakery is, but that didn't leave me with too many options. I got the quiche and I'm not sure if this was my mistake and maybe I should've asked for them to heat it for me...but it was cold, like cold from the fridge,so I didn't get to eat it. I carried it back to work and put in the fridge then took it home...but then just threw it away...wasn't sure I wanted to eat eggs that had been carried around all day. I heard their pizza is really good, so maybe I'll give that a try. read more

Our favorite bakery! So glad it's located in charming downtown McKinney. Come early for the most variety. Service is great. Sometimes the lines get long, and they do sell out of items. There is not a spot to eat there - make sure to get sourdough bread and pastries. read more

We were walking by this pastry shop and my son just had to have a cinnamon roll! It was bigger than his hand, and he was in love. The ham and Swiss croissant had the perfect toasted crust on the outside and soft on the inside, my daughter tore that up! Both were delicious and I see why it was so busy. They had us in and out quick though! Located in downtown McKinney so a great spot to sit outside at a table or bench and enjoy breakfast. read more

Baked items are always the freshest of the fresh. Service is top notch even in the busiest if times. Pizza Pie by the slice is awesome. Get there early. When the pizza is gone it's gone. Very interactive ambiance with visuals of the working bakery. read more

Ok I've written how great this bakery is before. Their pastries and everything for breakfast are still outstanding. I usually hit it up a couple of times a month. BUT, now after getting pizza twice from their Friday night pizza, I'm comfortable saying this is the best pizza in DFW. I love pizza and this is closest to good NY pizza as I've found here. Nice crispy crust. The salad they do for pizza night is also great. So don't miss out on the pizza in addition to wonderful pastries. read more

Bresnan Bread and Pastry - Danish and croissants - Bakeries Near Me - McKinney, Texas

I have been here twice now. The line at the door is a sign as to how good it is. I've only had pastries so far, but both were good. Cheese danish & almond croissant. Both were fresh and delicious. Not small either. :) will be back for sure! read more

This is the cutest bakery in McKinney downtown. Love their croissants, the almond and chocolate one are so good. They also have seasonal vegetable and fruit pastries (savory and sweet), we tried the rhubarb and tarragon pastry which was unlike anything I have ever had. Also wild mushroom and cheese pastry with basil sauce was so so good! We go here often, pick some coffee and croissants and pastries and head to the park with our kid. Love this place! Yet to try their breads! The menu looks so good. Highly recommend thjs place! read more

My favorite bakery! Their cinnamon raisin bread is out of this world! So good! All of their pastries are delicious! I love their London fog since they use Harney and Sons tea and in the summer they have this mouth watering strawberry basil juice that is already missed. Suggest getting there early as they sell out quick. They offer pre-order and you can find them at Coppell farmers market every Saturday. They just expanded their space and opened a little cafe to enjoy their pastries. Can't wait to visit again! read more

I had a friend visiting from out of town and she told me she really wanted a cardamom bun. So I went to work to find a place we could go. Bresnan was the one place that kept popping up, so we drove all the way from Carrollton to check out some delicious pastries. We got the orange cardamom bun, the kouign amann, sour cream coffee cake, and cream cheese danish. Everything was so pretty and delicious! I thought the coffee cake was my favorite but the kouign amann really grew on me and was still very good even the day after. It's a bit of a drive from our place but we might be back when we want really good pastries. read more

The people selling the breads are always super helpful and friendly! Our favorites are the cream cheese danish, monkey bread, plain croissant, and chocolate croissant! read more

Just over a year since I've been here and they are going strong. A lot of appetizing,if not pricey options for your morning pleasure. I went for the toasted almond croissant. The choice was hard because everything is literally artisanal gourmet. At $5.75 I hesitated slightly but went for it. Glad I did.... bakery perfection. The only thing keeping away the fifth star is,price a little too high and for counter service that takes 10 seconds,I don't want to see the tip request options on the point of sale device. I stuck a dollar bill in the jar. I recommend you.... read more

This place is awesomeness! You can tell the people that worked there really care about what they're doing. You need to get there early or make an order away in advanced to get what you want. It is truly a treat. I enjoyed chocolate croissant. They also have a savory pastry, Pork Carnitas. I have ordered that two different times very good. Ate it cold the first time and heated it up the second time. I always feel very welcomed in this bakery... and the staff is very knowledgeable about their products. I have not eaten in the establishment. I've always taken my things to go. however, they do have a nice area so you can sit with your friends have coffee and pastry seems very quaint. read more

First time visiting today! We came around noon, and they still had quite a few options. Tried the cheese pizza slice, delicious and a great size! Also got an iced vanilla latte, it was wonderful!

Beautiful pastries in downtown McKinney. This is a lovely shop to visit if you're looking for French style pastries. Service is friendly but it can get crowded on a Saturday morning. It's worth the wait. read more

I happened upon this bakery one weekend while in downtown McKinney. On my first visit I ordered a Cinnamon roll, monkey bread, a baguette, a cheese danish,and croissant. Every thing I ordered was fresh and delicious the standouts were the monkey bread especially the bottom where the cinnamon sugar has Caramelized and the cheese danish that did not skimp on the filling. They are expanding the bakery which is a good sign. I look forward to the day where I have to get there early before the line is too long. This kind of baking is very labor intensive and time consuming I wish them much success. read more

Price of loaves and pastry is absurd. $18 for brioche, $6.75 for one rhubarb Pastry. I think they are fairly standard bakery and things are tasty but should be at least 30% less. This place will only be a once a year visit for me. Nearly $30 for two items is not worth it. The Cost is not worth the taste. read more

4.9 ??? I wanna know who doesn't think this bakery is 5+!!! Wow!!! There aren't enough words to describe all of the delicate delicious breads and pastries at this shop. A French bakery is alive and well on the McKinney Square. There was an actual Frenchman ordering pastries the day we were there - that's a huge nod. If I lived in McKinney, I would eat here every day. We had a chocolate croissant, the monkey bread, a lemon roll & I had a savory quiche. it was tempting to order two of everything. What a gem You will find us here every time we visit McKinney! Very friendly crew and you get to watch them create the magic. read more

I consider myself a cheese danish connoisseur. Once you have a Bresnan danish, nothing will EVER taste the same again. You can tell that creativity and love go into every creation. The bread has the perfect combo of crust and softness. You can't go wrong with anything you choose, but go EARLY before they sell out of your favs read more

First off, owners were so kind and sweet, so was the whole staff. Extremely tight location but they are expanding which is exciting! Everything was a 10/10. If you see pizza try all of them. The dough is sourdough and so crispy but still had lots of chew and body to it. All of the pastries were absolutely nailed. Coffee was delicious as well. Quaint place that should be on everyone's radar. 100% worth the 3 hour drive we made just to try this place! read more

This place is amazing: their food is so delicious and high quality. Honestly, it's one of the best bakeries I've ever been to. We had quiche, goat cheese and mushrooms danish, almond croissant, and citrus yuzu pastry (was it croissant too?) - each item was amazing. I wish they would have location in Allen, we would become their regulars. Also, the owner and other workers are nicest people. Definitely a must visit place and we will come more, especially if we're in McKinney. read more

I recommend the Jambon sandwich, the Kouign-amann (Queen-ah-mon), the baguettes, and really you can't go wrong with the pastries. I haven't tried the pizza yet, but I plan to. My only complaint, I wish they were open later!! The sandwich will remind you of Europe if you have traveled, it is simple and delicious! A perfect ratio of crunch to chew on the baguette like roll with rich salty butter, quality ham, a mellow cheese, and some crunchy pops of pickle. I need to stop myself from buying one of these every week. I had never had a Kouign-amann before and I definitely butchered the name when I first ordered one. It is a rich pastry with a lovely delicate caramelized sugar flavor. Perfect with a cup of rich dark black coffee. I'm from the East Coast and had a favorite little French bakery I used to get baguettes from. These are slightly different, but equally as good. read more

Very good! I'm not too used to American style pastries but these were great! Tasty, not too sweet and the breads were delicious too.

We were excited to try Bresnan Bakery's croissants--first at their McKinney bakery and later at the Coppell Farmers Market. As longtime croissant lovers who make a point of indulging in them during trips to Europe, especially in France, we had high hopes. The croissants did have the right texture with a crisp, flaky exterior and soft interior, but they were far too greasy for our taste. Our hands were left coated in a lot of butter/grease, very unlike the croissants we enjoy in Europe, which took away from the experience. Unfortunately, this one was not a win for us. read more

Absolutely incredible bakery! Saturday morning 11am , they are mostly sold out. We score a country sour, and the ultimate gingerbread cookie. When they say ultimate, they mean it. This is a sharing cookie full of crystallized ginger. Chewy, dense, soft and spicy. Top five cookie in my life. INCREDIBLE!! read more
