Paper City — Dallas’ 13 Best Bakeries

March 30, 2026
Paper City
Founded by a mother and daughter (Alison and Ashley Weinstein) in the Park Cities in 2023, this bakery became a new favorite in Dallas right away. Executive Pastry Chef Jill Bates (Café Momentum, Fearing’s) leads the pastry program. She collaborated with Michael Laiskonis, James Beard Award-winning chef and former head of the pastry program at the three-Michelin-starred Le Bernardin in New York, to develop the bakery’s menu and refine recipes, including pain au chocolat, everything bagel brioche, and kouign-amann.
