Voila French Bakery Bistro

My godmother told me about Voila when it first opened. I frequent the restaurant/bistro at least once a week. It's great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Fantastic crepes on the weekends! I recommend the banana and nutella. It's also fab. for coffee. I love to go grab a loaf of their freshly made bread for my dinner guests at my house. I always give Voila their due credit though :) I love the kid's options too!!!! Great place all around!

Okay, I'm a bread-lover. I admit it. Never really took to the "no carb" lifestyle. And I've had some really good bread in my life, but this bakery in Allen is amazing.

Their chocolate croissants are pure decadence. They get everything right...down to the slighty-moist ganache ribbon running through the pastry.

Their tarts re amazing. Their sandwiches are wonderful. Their ice cream is even European (spaghetti style) and whoever heard of ice cream and hot chocolate pudding? But oh my goodness, it's GOOD...

Recently, when I was in, they were "testing" new crepes they're adding to the menu soon...more goodness...

Only negatives are the sometimes less-than-helpful counter help and their hours -- wish they were open later in the evening.

PROS: awesome incredible pastries & bread!
CONS: counter help isn't very helpful sometimes / wish they had later hours

We could not be happier to have such a nice place in our neighborhood. A real European bakery in North Dallas, what a treat. I brought some of their breakfast items to a business breakfast and nobody believed me that I bought them in Allen.

Everything they produce is exceptional. The Master Baker is originally from France and you can taste the difference. They were vote "Best Croissant" in Dallas from DMagazine and just received a great review from the Dallas Morning News.

Check it out you won't be disappointed!!! Their website is www.voila-bakery.com

PROS: Kid-friendly, great product, good parking
CONS: Nothing I can think of, they coull open earlier and close later, ;-)

Voila is in my opinion the best Bakery in the DFW area. they bake fresh every morning. Their breads, danishes and pastries are superb, as good as in Europe. They also offer sandwiches made with the fresh bread, yumm and salads with homemade dressings. I like sitting on their patio and have breakfast there, the ambience and the music are very nice.

PROS: Exceptional quality, nice friendly staff, lots of parking
CONS: Sometimes very busy on weekends

Voila is a new French cafe open in Allen. A friend and I went for a morning cup of coffee. It has a nice atmosphere and the prices are reasonable (similair to Starbucks I guess). The variety of pastries was good and very tasty. Staff where very friendly and even offered us some free samples. We will return.
