Est. Houston · Westheimer Rd
Sourdough loaves, laminated pastries, and a curated market of local goods — all made or sourced fresh each morning at our Westheimer bakery.
What We Do
Every loaf starts with a live starter — fed daily, fermented slowly, baked in batches. Croissants, pain au chocolat, and seasonal tarts follow the same patience: cold butter, cold hands, no shortcuts.
Olive oils, aged vinegars, local honey, small-batch preserves, and artisan cheeses — selected from Texas producers and trusted importers. Everything we stock is something we'd keep in our own kitchen.
Single-origin espresso, pour-over coffee, and a rotating selection of savory items — quiches, grain bowls, and soup — made from scratch each morning. Sit down or take it to go.
Our Story
WXYZ Bar opened on Westheimer Road with a simple conviction: that good bread shouldn't require a reservation, and a well-stocked pantry shouldn't require a trip downtown.
We bake in small batches, starting before sunrise. Our sourdough ferments for 36 hours. Our croissants are folded over six times. We work with local farms for our dairy and eggs, and we turn over our market inventory weekly to feature what's fresh and what's interesting.
This isn't a chain. It's not a franchise. It's a corner bakery in Houston that believes the details matter — and that the best thing you can do for a customer is show up early and do the work properly.

The Process
Every item that leaves our kitchen follows the same path: sourced carefully, prepared deliberately, and presented simply.
Flour from regional mills. Butter from Texas dairies. Eggs from local farms. We know the people who grow and make what we sell.
Our starter is 4 years old. We build a levain each morning, mix by hand, and let the dough rest. Speed is not a value here.
Deck ovens at peak heat. Steam injected at the right moment. We pull loaves when the crust sings — not before, not after.
Warm bread, proper coffee, honest prices. We set out what we have and we don't pretend it's more than that.
"The sourdough here changed how I think about bread. I drove 40 minutes on a Sunday just to get a loaf."
