The Black Rooster Bakery

This is one of the best bakeries in ft. Worth and I started out loving it. There is a great selection of muffins scones cookies and pies, and fresh bread. Coffee is good too. That said, it’s relatively expensive, as muffin or scone runs over 3 bucks, and the muffins and scones both have a cakey texture. Also, there isn’t really a seating area. For me, even though I live quite close, I only end up going now and then to pick up something as a gift for someone else. Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise as if I liked it more I would go
Too often!

First time here and it was so incredible the choices to choose from.
Hands down the best bakery yet. Very fresh and croissants were very good. I would suggest this to anyone looking for some awesome pastries.

Got a lemon tea cake and a lemon blueberry scone. Staff were friendly, the shop was quaint and classy and oh my goodness the pastries were so fresh. Even better is it’s right near the zoo so you can grab some breakfast on the way to visit the animals. Their coffee was also fresh and delicious. Another bonus is it wasn’t super crowded so the wait on a Saturday morning was nonexistent. The blueberry lemon scone was my absolute favorite. It was plentiful in blueberries and it was super spongey, tasting as if the batter is made with more egg which I looooved.

I love Black Rooster! I like to pick up an assortment of their delicious pastries for guests to enjoy for breakfast when I have company. Their lunch is not to be missed either — I had a delicious goat cheese and roasted red pepper sandwich with corn chowder the other day and it was just scrumptious. You can definitely taste the quality in their ingredients. Great coffee, too!

Best bakery in Fort Worth.
LOVE THIS PLACE. They have the best breakfast and lunch. Everyone is always so helpful.
You need to get there early though because everything goes pretty quickly.
Dog friendly patio and free dog treats inside.

Having tried the coffee, muffins, bread, and many other items, Black Rooster Bakery is worth my 40 min drive every time! Get there early before they sell out of the favs.
I love the short bread cookie/​bar and they make the BEST oatmeal raisin cookie.

I have been wanting to visit this bakery for years. Even when I found out the original owner who is a professionally trained bakery sold it, I wanted to try the scone. You see I enjoy my tea with a good scone. Starbucks, central market do not make a decent scone. The only place that makes a proper scone is Bedford bakery which I had the pleasure of working there before she closed the storefront and moved it onto her property. She still delivers her delicious scones and her baked goods. The Adolphus tea time also had a good scone.
So I finally made the 35 min drive to Fort Worth to try some pastries. They did not have any honey bun or cinnamon rolls so I got the blueberry lemon scone and bacon cheddar. I got home and warmed them up to have with my tea.
The bacon cheddar had so much bits of bacon that really takes away from the scone. (Yes, too much bacon bits can be a bad thing!) But the scone was nothing to write home about. It was not flaky but was a crumbly mess. I barely finished it. As for the blueberry lemon scone, It had lots of tiny of blueberries but it reminded me of a pasty muffin. Not a scone. It was also covered with a sugar glaze which a good scone should not need or have. I cannot believe it costs $ 3.xx for a scone when it should be no more than $ 2.xx
I took a bite of the danish and nothing memorable. The only thing I liked was the plain croissant. I was told by the girl who started working there 3 days now that they do not any cake. I wanted to try the devils cake that other Unilocalers wrote about. I wanted to try a cinnamon roll since I will not be back anytime soon. time to call Bedford bakery for that as well!

I enjoy this bakery for their fresh breads and other baked goods.

The Black Rooster Bakery was just ok. I wanted to be wowed. I wanted to be floored. My friend and I split a cookie, an apple tart and a mini chocolate cream pie and we each got a sandwich. The apple tart was very good. The sandwich… well the bread they make is very good but the sandwich lacked filling. It needed more meat. It needed some lettuce. It needed something wet. The sandwich was dry and lacking in every way. The chocolate mini pie? Gross. I never met a pie I didn’t like before but they didn’t use a real meringue. Instead they used a marshmallow crème. The sweetness was overwhelming. You didn’t really taste chocolate or cream. Instead, your mouth was overwhelmed with sugar to the point it overpowered everything else. Would I go back? maybe. Would I get a sandwich for 8 dollars? Absolutely not. And skip that chocolate pie. That cookie was forgettable. Overall, I’m just saying it is ok. Not great.
If I were going to a bakery for bread only, I might stop here only if I was in the neighborhood. Central Market bakery, Main Street Bakery in Grapevine, and The Bread Haus in Grapevine all give this place some serious competition for dare I say, a tad less money, with equal quality good bread.

We visited right before closing — all they had left was some pie, bread and muffins. But let me tell you — you can really taste the difference between mass produced food and «mom’s» type food. (homemade).
We hate that we live so far away (denton) — next time we will get there sooner and buy alot more. Oh yeah — the wife also LOVED the muffin… White chocolate macadamia nut… I personally am a scone fanatic — that will be on my next visit… Keep up the great work!!!

Scrumptious baked goods & friendly service… Five stars for sure – I’ve tried the cookies, croissants, cinnamon rolls, bread, lattes and cappuccinos. All have been stellar, and wholesome. Butter and sugar! You can taste them in your delectable treat.
I’d never say someone could bake better than my mom or grandma, but this is honestly the place that comes closest :).
My absolute must tries are the chocolate chip/​nut cookies and croissants. The chocolate chip cookies are the perfect texture to me, moist with a hint of crisp at edges. The croissants are flaky, buttery and so insanely good reheated a few seconds in the microwave. I think the cinnamon rolls fare better after a few seconds in the microwave too.
I was raised believing that baking is an art and science. This place knocks it out of the park on the art of flavor and the science of bake time and proportions.
Cookies are $ 2 and most of the pastries I’ve gotten range from $ 3 – 4. I think the large cappuccinos and lattes are also $ 4.
I’ve been back multiple times and recommend giving it a shot.

I love this place!
What will you find at the Black Rooster Bakery? Handmade pastries, quiches, savory and sweet croissants, and some amazing coffee drinks.
We stopped by here for a Unilocal event and were pleasantly surprised. Both days, I opted for a quiche, one day the offering was a turkey and pepper quiche, and the other day was a refreshing tomato. The quiches were top notch in both the savory and light/​refreshing options. And, the crust, oh my. It’s good enough to make a grown man, who is not named George Takei, use the words, «oh my.» Although, I’d recommend giving your goods a quick zap in the microwave before you leave. The pastries and quiches are amazing, but really come alive with a little heat. The microwave is conveniently located next to the coffee station.
I also picked up a couple of different pastries to bring to a work function for my awesome coworkers. I picked up danishes, croissants, and cinnamon rolls. The pastries are all humongous, and they don’t skimp on quality for the sake of size.
The pastries were a big hit at work, so much so that I went back the next day to pick up more cinnamon rolls because many remarked how great the one I got the previous day looked. I think a few of my coworkers have even made this place their go to bakery and coffee spot as a result!
I’ve also tried a croissant and found it to be buttery, flaky perfection. It was huge and stuffed with almonds and fruit at both ends.
If you’re looking for goodies for a work function or other social gathering, you’ll find sumptuous morning treats here that are crowd pleasers. As far as pastries go, they are on the pricier side, when say compared to a donut, but the baking and richness justifies the price (in my mind at least).
The coffee is also rich and flavorful. Rich pastries and rich coffee? Yes, please! Have I found my new homeland? I think so. I tried the black coffee and cappuccino and both were smooth and fresh. Nicely brewed, and the cappuccino was made perfectly.
Both times we’ve gone in, the service by the front of house was great. Things can get a little cozy in here quickly, but it just works for me, with the whole French provincial vibe.
All in all, would I recommend this place highly? Oui.

This is what a local bakery should be. Simple, friendly, wholesome, focused on creating consistent and delicious product — all wrapped up in a cozy atmosphere filled with the fragrance of buttery, flaky, fresh outta the oven croissants and sticky sweet cinnamon rolls.
For real everybody, it smells so so so good in here. Y’all know I have celiacs so unfortunately I can’t eat any of Black Rooster’s beautiful baked goods, but I took full advantage of enjoying the aromas! I had the opportunity to hang out at for a couple days, see how they operate (you can see the entire kitchen from the front counter, so you can actually watch flour and sugar and eggs turn into cookies before your eyes.
The menu here is different every day because they’re making everything fresh in house. Perhaps you’ll walk in to find orange + chocolate scones, peaches and cream muffins, cherry cream cheese danishes, and a buttermilk cake. Or, you might find dark chocolate brownie bars, oatmeal cookies, and miniature apple pies. Whatever you find, you know it’ll be fresh and quality. I believe that you’ll always find classic croissants and sticky buns, and some flavor of scones, muffins, and cookies. They also have a few savory scones and frittatas.
Everything behind the glass looks so rustic and made with love by grandma. These aren’t cookie-​cutter pre-​packaged products. Around 11 the menu switches over to lunchy items like soup and sandwiches, but I haven’t been there for that. Looking forward to it though.

Black Rooster bakery is a cute little bakery off of Forest Park Blvd. I came to inquire about custom made birthday cakes and the complimentary pastry and coffee. I got a chocolate chip scone! Delicious.
I will definitely be back and will update if I end up getting a birthday cake from them.

So happy I was able to attend this Unilocal event. This is a cute little bakery that has a warm feeling to it. I tried the cream cheese honey bun and picked up a peach pecan muffin for my mom. Everything was soooo good I couldn’t wait to share with friends. The honey bun was so big I couldn’t finish it so one of my girlfriends came over and tasted it. She instantly wanted more LOL.
So like all good girlfriends I went back the following day with her so she can taste more of what this bakery has to offer.

I wish there was a bakery like this in Arlington! I loved this place! I was there for breakfast and was eyeing the lunch menu wanting that as well.
Everyone was so nice, and it was cool to see chefs busy as work making things in the back. My step daughter talks about being a pastry chef so I will definitely be bringing her here, she will love it!
I ordered the lemon poppy seed danish of course. If there is lemon poppy seed anything in a restaurant I’m ordering it. The danish was unlike any lemon poppy seed recipe I have tasted before. It was awesome. My husband ordered the bacon cheddar biscuit cup. It was also very tasty. Also unlike anything I’ve had before. Everything tasted so fresh. Coffee was hot and perfect, not too strong. I am used to going to chains like Starbucks for pastries and coffee, this place is sooooooo much better!
Outdoor seating was lovely. Would have been able to stay longer if my 2 yr old hadn’t kept running into the parking lot. This is definitely a place I could spend a good hour while eating and relaxing.

Black Rooster is a great bakery spot tucked away off Forest Park and Park Hill.
Their delicious pastries and good coffee are two great reasons to stop into Black Rooster on your morning commute.

I went here for a Unilocal event and got a free drink and pastry. I tried the savory scone, which was full of flavor yet still fluffy like a scone should be. They were super nice and let me sub a tea for free coffee. They only have bagged tea, Bigalow, but it worked out great. Tons of parking, friendly service. Seating inside is only at a raised bar, which is great for solo studying. There were some tables outside too.
If you are driving up Forrest to get here, be aware the high school traffic is intense between about 8am and 9am.

I can sum up this visit in one word «delightful!»
This bakery is a super tiny but efficient place to get some of the finest bread and baked items that you could want.
This was my first Unilocal event to attend. I got to meet Kendall, who helps operate the Fort Worth chapter of Unilocal.I also got to meet Bill, another member of Unilocal.It was nice having a little touch of community.
My wife and I ordered three items and a cup of coffee. The coffee is robust and strong, just the way I like it. We ordered a quiche that had ham and cheese. It was tiny serving at about room temperature; it was simply delicious.
We also ordered a mixed berry streusel coffee cake. The serving was generous and the cake was sublime. It was super moist and just sweet enough without being too sweet.
My wife ordered a scone for her lunch tomorrow as it looked so good.
The lady behind the counter was inviting and freely shared about the bakery and various items.
Only reason I withheld a five star has to do with the size. It is big enough for maybe only 10 – 12 people total. The few seats are tall stools at a counter. Not too much of a negative. I would hope for expansion some day and s little more seating. They already have the charm down, excellent food, and super nice people.

LOVE the Black Rooster! Quality pastries and breads.
I’ve yet to try the elusive chocolate croissant, as they’re always sold out by the time I get there, but every other cookie or cake I’ve had has been amazing!
Try one of their sandwiches (my favorite is the turkey, goat cheese, and spinach) with a sparkling French lemonade for lunch and you won’t be disappointed.
Tip: They post the day’s offerings on their Facebook page every morning, so if you’re wanting to try something specific, make sure you check that out first so you know what you’ll find.
