Three spots, three totally different vibes — a European bakery, a family panadería, and a creative donut lab.
Denton’s sweet tooth is in good hands. Three spots, three totally different vibes, all local and all worth the calories.
The shortlist
Ravelin Bakery. European-style croissants, real sourdough, pastries done right — where the foodies send everyone first. Eric and Pamela Helland named it for their daughters, Raven and Adeline.
Lucy’s Bakery. The real-deal family panadería on East McKinney. Conchas, pan dulce, tres leches — a glass case full of color with everything under a few bucks.
Donutly. Denton’s creative donut lab. Multi-layer danish-style croughnuts made from scratch on AA-grade butter, unbleached flour, and real vanilla. Closed Mondays.
