Reverie Bakeshop — Restaurant in Richardson

I got there around 11a-ish and they were already sold out of the gingerbread donut, so that was a major bummer. I got a regular glaze donut, and it was ok. The snickerdoodle cookie was pretty good, but I didn't like the texture of the gingerbread cookie. It was more cake-ish. The empanada was my fav out of everything. Customer service was ok. I'll probably give it another try. 😕

I gave them another try, and this time, I got there around 8:30a-ish. Unfortunately, the specialty donuts were already gone, as well as the Lunar pastry. Although it was advertised on Facebook that the Lunar pastry would be here until Sat. I was told they didn't make any today. So, this is the 2nd time I've tried to patronize the specialty items and wasn't able to due to lack of supply. I was told to come before 9a to avoid everything being sold out, and that still didn't work out in my favor. It's probably best to be here right at 7a when they're unlocking the door. This time, I got a cinnamon roll (zero stars - it was dry and super dense --- trashed it). I got a small cake (it was pretty decent and a great texture). I got a cheesecake & a cheesecake sopapilla. I liked the sopapilla better than the cheesecake. I also got a peanut butter cookie and another bfast pastry... these were my favorite items!!!! I won't say I won't be back, but I won't be so pressed to come try any of the specialty items. If I happen to have a taste for something or in the area, I'd swing by again without any high expectations. Customer service was better this time. 👌🏽

Today, I had the maple donut, white chocolate macadamia cookie, tres leche cake, and shepherd's pie empanada. I actually enjoyed EVERYTHING!!! The texture on the maple donut was not thick & dense like what I've tried before, and it was so good!! Tres Leche cake tasted more like strawbery shortcake, but it was also really good. The cookie was delish & the perfect crunchy-chew texture!! Any empanada or savory pastry I've tried I've enjoyed, so no complaints there. I've figured out what works for me and what doesn't, and I'll stick to that on each visit! Lastly, it would be nice to see the shop setup rearranged so we can stop running into each other while trying to place...

This bakery, while proudly vegan, is unfortunately not a destination for healthy eating – unless your definition of "healthy" includes a generous helping of sugar and fat.

We applaud the commitment to offering food that's better for you, the animals, and the environment, but the offerings here are, in our opinion, a bit too enthusiastic about the "treat" aspect.

We purchased a selection of pastries to sample, bracing ourselves for the sugar rush. A proper scone should be dry and crumbly, the kind that politely begs for a cup of tea. The one we tried, however, was practically swimming in a glaze so thick it could probably double as spackle. Similarly, the cinnamon swirl was "cinnamon" in name only, having apparently lost a fight with an unimaginable amount of sugar.

The savory pastries, thankfully, avoided the sugar bomb. However, they took a different approach, embracing the oil slicks. We're pretty sure we could have squeezed a significant amount of (vegetable) oil from each one – enough to fry a small nation's worth of potatoes.

The two young people behind the counter were polite and helpful, bless their hearts. The atmosphere is not something to write home about, unless you're writing to warn someone about the sugar content.

And, apparently, "returns aren't accepted," so declares a sign on the wall. Why would someone want to return pastries? Well, we can make two guesses: either they're trying to stage a sugar intervention, or they've discovered a new way to fuel a car. 😉

In short, while the vegan aspect is commendable, the excessive fat and sugar content detracts from the overall appeal. Vegan is good, but excessive fat and sugar are not. Perhaps a little more balance in the kitchen is needed.

As ordinary consumers, we are not paid or compensated in any way for this review. We are always looking for reliable and transparent businesses and hope the owner will take this feedback into...

SO. MANY. OPTIONS! AND ALL VEGAN! I got the sausage and cheese biscuit, a chocolate cake donut, a strawberry sprinkle donut, 4 cinnamon donut holes, a cinnamon roll, and a blueberry muffins. My favorites were the sausage and cheese biscuit and the strawberry sprinkle donut. The biscuit was so warm, buttery, flaky and tender. The cheese was perfectly melted and it tasted like the real thing! The sprinkle donut had a real strawberry taste and was so moist! It didn't taste like the artificial, fake strawberry flavoring.

Everything was delicious, the staff were incredibly kind and seemed so happy to be there and help me, and it was so fun going somewhere where I could eat everything for the first time ever! They also checked with every customer if there were any allergies that they needed to know about before starting your order. I wish I lived closer!

My boyfriend got the cannoli and a chocolate fried donut. He loved his too! We also had a friend who got a pizza kolache and a jalapeño kolache. Our party had 6 people and not 1 was disappointed, even though I'm the only vegan.

There is something for everyone here. They had cheesecake, pie, kolaches, sausage/bacon and cheese biscuits, cannolis, muffins, cinnamon rolls, donuts, donut holes, macarons, gluten free options, and so much more! I cannot wait...
