Plano’s brunch faithful will have to find a new spot for cinnamon rolls and Normandy French toast. Bread Winners Cafe & Bakery quietly served its last meal at Lakeside Market after Christmas Eve, closing its Plano outpost at 4021 Preston Road, according to the restaurant’s social media.
In an Instagram post, the chain told customers that “as our lease comes to an end, our Plano location will be closing after Christmas Eve,” according to Community Impact. The message added that “the gratitude we feel for this community will last forever,” a sign-off aimed at regulars who made the spot a weekend habit over the years.
In the usual post-holiday lag, some online listings are still catching up. Local tourism and dining directories continue to show the former Lakeside Market address and phone number as if nothing has changed. For instance, Visit Plano still lists Bread Winners at 4021 Preston Road with its contact details.
Other Area Locations And Options
Plano may be out, but Bread Winners is not gone from North Texas. The chain continues to operate other DFW cafes, including locations in Uptown and NorthPark in Dallas and a newer shop in Allen, according to the brand’s site. The familiar lineup of dishes such as Normandy French toast and warm cinnamon rolls is still available and posted online.
Anyone plotting their next brunch run can find up-to-date hours and addresses on Bread Winners' website.
Bread Winners' Place In Dallas Brunch Culture
Bread Winners has been a fixture in Dallas brunch culture for decades, with its slow build into a small local chain helping shape the city’s weekend dining rituals. The brand’s evolution and influence on Dallas brunch have been chronicled in local food coverage, including a look back at its history from Eater Dallas.
For Plano regulars, the Lakeside Market closure brings an end to a familiar brunch stop, even as the brand continues elsewhere in the region. Fans who are holding out hope for a comeback in the city will have to stay tuned to the restaurant’s social media and local listings for any updates on the now-vacant space or a potential Plano return.
