    We often try to support local small businesses when traveling. There were several donut shops in the area, we decided to try three of them. This one caught our eye because their Earl Grey donut seemed to be a popular favorite, so we came specifically for that. When we arrived around 10 am, Earl Grey was already sold out. There were about 20 basic donuts left (glazed, cake, etc). Good problem to have for the owners.. Fortunately, the person working there, perhaps the owner, offered to make one just for us. It seemed like they already had plain donuts ready and just needed to dip one in the Earl Grey glaze, which is exactly what she did. We really appreciated the effort and kindness! $4 each. As for the taste, it was okay overall. The Earl Grey flavor came through, but the donut was extremely sweet--so sweet that it overpowered the tea flavor. I understand donuts are meant to be sweet, but this one crossed the line a bit. If they could tone down the sugar just a little, it would really let the flavor shine. Overall, we're glad we got to try it, and if we're ever back in the area, we might stop by again to sample other flavors.

    Sausage with potatoes
    Lily F.

    I always drive by this place and saw all of the positive reviews so I stopped by one morning to get a breakfast burrito with sausage and potatoes and an Old Fashioned donut. Since I returned from Chicago last month where I was able to eat at my beloved Do-Rite Donuts, I've still been trying to hunt for the perfect Old Fashioned in the DFW area. The breakfast burrito gets a quick shout out because it was pretty unique as far as breakfast burritos go. I was expecting your typical breakfast sausage with pre-made hashbrowns inside, but the sausage that came with the burrito was more like the Eckrich kind cut up into bite size pieces and the potatoes were smashed and still super hot. I think it was so unique also because it wasn't greasy at all. But the Old Fashioned was better than your average mom and pop donut shop, but still not quite what I'm searching for. I'd love to go back and try their cream brulee donut.

    Every time fly into DFW and when I'm on my way to see family, I make it a point to stop by Earnest to get my favorite donuts: Earl Grey and Honey Citrus. The donuts themselves are light and fluffy and the toppings are out of this world!!

    The go to place for delicious novelty doughnuts. The maple bacon donut itself is worth it no matter what your arteries tell you. All of the donuts are always soft and fluffy. The sandwiches and kolaches are also a popular item that get sold out fairly quickly so come early. Also if you go here frequently, there's a punch card that lets you have $10 when you fill it out completely

    What a good little treat for us Las Vegans. We are visiting The Colony for our son's medical treatment. Everything has been very stressful since we arrived from Las Vegas, NV. We wanted something sweet to calm our nerves, and found ED on Yelp! The donut shop is clean & quaint. The female staff (White lady w/ short hair) was incredibly friendly! She suggested old fashion cinnamon roll donut, as well as blueberry cake donut. I'll save the blueberry one for tomorrow. The cinnamon roll donut was delicious, with the right amount of firmness in terms of chewiness and a ton of cinnamon sprinkles enmeshed inside. So happy to have stopped in, and we'll visit again, the next time we are staying in the DFW area!

    Pikachu Donut. I like that the dough itself isn't too sweet so it balances the sweet glaze.

    Delicious donuts and friendly staff! I love their cronut/cronut holes, perfectly flaky & sweet.

    My favorite spot for croissant donuts. Furthermore, the employees are very friendly and they always give a little something extra free of charge.

    Pretty delicious donuts and close to me so it's perfect! The cronut holes are delicious and I love the texture of them. I enjoyed the blueberry cake donut I tried as well. I recently got the maple bacon and it was also tasty but a bit more sweet than the others. I have also ordered the kolaches and they are good I just wish they had more cheese in the ones that should have cheese. I've ordered some and thought they gave me ones without cheese because I couldn't find any in the kolaches. I love how they usually add a few extra donut holes to the box. The cinnamon roll wasn't bad but it is on the smaller side. Still good flavor and tastes great warmed up for about 10 seconds.

    So many great options for doughnuts in north Dallas! This one is top 3 on just service let alone the pure freshness. Best crème brûlée doughnut so far with them even making one fresh since the case was sold out. Old-fashioned chocolate was solid and apple fritter was perfectly crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. On and the extra glazed doughnut didn't hurt!

    cinnamon twist, cinnamon roll, croissant glazed, cherry frosting, strawberry frosting, 2 s'mores, banana cream pie doughnut!

    Wow! we arrived 9:45AM, had a great selection of donuts. both of the employees were very sweet as their donuts. What truly impresses me are the donuts freshness, I am 100% convinced that they are made with love and care. I have no problem paying a little bit extra for something that's made delicately. The ambience is just like a normal coffee shop with the addition of donuts. They offer sandwiches with any type of meat, cheese and egg. They also have burritos stuffed with potatoes, eggs, and meat. You can also get donuts customized with letters, but you have to order those 72 hours in advanced. This is 100% my new favorite donut shop in the area. 100% recommend all that are allowed to have sweet treats.

    If you get nothing else, you need to order the croissant donut holes and the Rhode Island coffee! The croissant donut holes are perfect portions - complete with delightful flaky texture, and right amount of sweetness! I was really pleased with their specialty coffee. I appreciate that they have implemented covid protocols: masks required, must use hand sanitizer or complementary gloves upon entry, stand 6 ft apart from other patrons. Even the merchandise is packaged individually.

    Very excited to find paczkis. Very clean, very fresh donuts. Folks are very friendly as well.

The concept of emptying out and filling a baguette with salad is definitely interesting... And it might even be a deterrent for some people for trying it out, so I am very grateful for my friend who turned me onto this place! Upon my first visit, I tried their Tinga chicken Zepplin and it is phenomenal. It is very very good! I got mine with chipotle ranch and avocado ranch. The flavor of this thing has me coming back at least once every two weeks. It is expensive, especially after leaving a tip and buying a drink on the app, coming to about 20 bucks for a stinkin' meal, but it is delicious. Being extremely curious about what happens to the inside of the baguettes, I noticed that they sell bread pudding, dessert, too; so I assume that this is where all that bread is going. The bread pudding is VERY GOOD, but serving-size is very small, but in my opinion, the perfect size for a dessert. I can see how some people might be upset about the small size, but frankly, they are fat ass Americans, lol, who are used to super-size drinks, fries, and inflammatory diseases #Hashtag "make small desserts a thing again". The ambience is on par with most fast food eateries these days: it is absolutely terrible! Hard surfaces everywhere, hard chairs, hard tables, so naturally it is a very unwelcoming environment, which is exactly how these corporate businesses design their stores... Corporate businesses don't want comfortable soft Carpets, comfortable benches, where people will spend time hanging out all day, or even soft seats... They strategically make their stores hard surfaced like this because, acoustically: sound is loud in these environments, and subconsciously customers don't want to spend very much time in these settings; Hence why they are designed this way to maximize turnovers and increase traffic. In my opinion, I think an eatery specifically like Bread zeppelin, would benefit greatly from having the Panera-bread style of soft carpets, soft seats, free Wi-Fi, welcoming all the local collage kids and other customers to hang out even if stay beyond the time it takes to eat their sandwich. I like to try new things all the time, but I'm telling you that I cannot bring myself to pass up the Tinga Chicken Zeppelin every time.

They also sell baguettes and sour doughs loafs. *Sandwich: it was better than the one we had in Italy. It was soo delicate but flavorful *morning bun: flaky, cinnamon and sugar.. there's areas of it that are caramelized and has a nice chewiness to it. Worth it. * everything Croix: if you like everything bagel seasoning you'll love. I'd choose the is over a bagel. *pastrami croix: yum! It's a fun take on a pastrami sandwich. I really liked this, I love pastrami and sauerkraut so it was right up my alley *glazed croix: I loved this! My husband thought it was too sweet for his liking but it's like a cronut but better.

The interior isn't big but there are 4 small tables for seating and a bench for waiting. They have sweet and savory morning baked goods - croissants "croix", daily made sourdough flavors, sandwiches, and coffee. The service was great - the cashier was super helpful and gave good honest recommendations. I got a sandwich (mortadella, burrata, pistachio), 3 croix's (strawberry and cream, everything, and pistachio), and a black cold brew. Food came out in about 10 mins (about the time it took to write this review and take a couple pics). Food was really good - bread was super crunchy and everything was very flavorful. Not gonna go in detail. Try it yourself. I promise it's worth waking up at 7am and driving out here! Note - while I didn't get any, I did notice that the sourdough is premade and you get it instantly.

    What a charming find!…read more I stopped by The London Baker for the first time and immediately fell in love with the atmosphere. The space is absolutely beautiful, warm, and inviting. It feels like a little slice of London right here in North Texas. We tried a variety of pastries, a cake pop, and a London Fog tea. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The London Fog tea was especially delicious and made the experience feel even more special. What really stood out to me was the space itself. It's the kind of place where you can easily spend an afternoon catching up with friends. It would be perfect for a girls' day out, high tea, birthday celebration, baby shower, bridal shower, or bachelorette gathering. Every corner is thoughtfully designed and feels elegant without being stuffy. I can also see why they're so well known for their custom cakes. The displays alone are impressive, and after seeing everything in person, I would definitely consider ordering a cake here for a future special occasion. Whether you're stopping in for tea and pastries or planning a celebration, The London Baker is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back to try more from the menu.
