Swirl Bakery, Flower Mound

At Swirl Bakery, every bite from an adult grilled cheese or an ice box pie might conjure the familiar feeling of grandma's home. That’s actually not so far off the mark: the owners of the café and bakery designed their menus with their own grandmothers’ home cooking in mind. In some cases, the recipes they use for family favorites even come from ingredient lists kept so secret over the years, they had to be replicated through trial and error.

The team creates everything from hearty breakfast dishes to comfort food dinners, specializing in classics such as scratch made soup, homemade quiche, and a variety of cafe chicken salads. For dessert, they serve cupcakes, slices of pie, and iced cookies available in seasonal flavors.
