50 Best Cafes in Dallas

“We had an excellent time at The Metropolitan on Main. The cocktails were very unique and delicious. The French fries with truffle oil really hit the spot. And the charcuterie board had a little bit of everything:berries, cheeses, meat, bread and fig jam. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were introduced to the owner who is a delight and has a passion for entertaining.“

“Can’t say enough about this place. It’s a one of a kind Dallas Treasure!! Great food. Great atmosphere. Great entertainment. Most of all …great VIBE set by Tony and Lisa and long time staffer, Jacob. Best cozy live music venue in Dallas…hands down!!! Thanks Tony and Lisa for “Stayin’ alive” ? ?“

“Another great breakfast to start the day. I've enjoyed this place for over a decade....still going strong ~ ....Happy Saturday to all !~~“

“The food is always fresh, homemade & delicious! I use Jen’s place for work catering ALL THE TIME & their delivery is done by them, not a third party, that is important to me for timing & setup of food. Can’t recommend their food enough!!“

“Great hospitality and great Ethiopian Coffee“

“We’ve been coming here for years. Just a sweet group of people that work at the cafe. And the coffees are perfect every time.“

“This little joint has been an East Dallas treasure for some time. When you think of mom's home made breakfast. Best describes Gold Rush, from the fluffiest pancakes which IMHO is their clame to fame. I might order a tradional fried egg and bacon breakfast, but bet your bottom dollar it's coming with a short stack of pancakes. As you imagine the tastiest ham slice. remember that they do lunch. fall apart pot roast, hamburgers will not disappoint, chicken fried steak, why not have an omelet for brunch, they'll do it just right. It's not a big place in any way. You get there and you see an empty table go ahead and seat yourself. if there's a short line. you might have to stand between 5 and 8 minutes but everyone in line is cordial. when guests leave their table, grab it, even if it hasn't been cleared off very shortly someone will come by a cleaned your table. while you wait hopefully a member of staff already given you a menu. Be ready when someone takes your order. and the place can be hopping. Give it a shot, I'm sure you will find your visit enjoyable and the food done right.“

I had a great experience at this coffee shop! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was amazing.

The drinks were delicious too! Definitely coming back. ☕🤎“

“Very friendly staff and the place is clean and comfortable. The coffee tastes strong and really good. You can smell the coffee from the moment you enter and they roast their coffee in house. Parking might be a little difficult due to construction but I think is worth it!“

“This is an excellent place if you are hungry. They serve really good food. The servers are super nice and the cashiers are super friendly. I love this place.

“Simply Amazing!! I was craving breakfast but the time was 11:30 exactly and I did not know the breakfast hours here as this was my first visit. I asked the sweet lady who greeted me when I came in if I could still get breakfast and she told me yes. I ordered 2 eggs over eazy, 2 strips of bacon, 1 bisquit w/gravy and hasbrowns for take out. Just a simple breakfast. I got back to my office and started to eat and was amazed at how great this simple breakfast tasted. This is my new go to Cafe. Great Food. Great Friendly Service and an Amazing View as well. Give this little spot a try, you'll be glad that you did.“

“Great work! Highly recommended .“

“The food was awesome as always. The menu changes from time to time and that is really helpful to try new cutting edge dishes. The host, wait, and management staff are all great. The cooks are fantastic. One person that always stands out is Vanessa B. She is fantastic and always goes beyond to help guest and make the experience more impactful.“

“They have really tasty food! I’d been told by my salesman that they just went under new management and previously it wasn’t great with the prior management, but with the new management that they’ve started eating at the cafe again.

Their beef Mexican torta was sooo good! I did get a few tacos and those were delicious also 😋 Their prices were also great now. When I go back for servicing, I’ll be stopping by again!“

“One of the best places to hangout in America“

“This establishment has great food and drinks, served by friendly and helpful staff! I will definitely be back!“

“The entire staff — and especially Lace — are so attentive. From the moment you're seated, you feel genuinely cared for in a way that sets the tone for an exceptional experience. I tried the Michelin-level tasting menu, and it was nothing short of incredible. Every course was beautifully crafted, balanced, and packed with flavor — a thoughtful progression that carried a festive spirit perfect for the season. Between the exceptional service and unforgettable dishes, this continus to be one of my favorite dining experiences. Shhh. Gatekeep this place. Don't tell people about it. Just quietly know it's great.“

“City Cafe feels like the kind of place you go to when you want food that tastes like effort, not just hype. The atmosphere is nice--clean, cozy, friendly--and they always make you feel welcome. It's not flashy, but it's exactly what I look for in a lunch spot: solid food, good service, and a place you'd want to go back to without thinking too hard.“

“STAY FAR AWAY!!!Been paying $5.39 with a $1 tip for the same cup of coffee for the past year +this is after there price hike last year , new manger's "BOB"charging $7.01 for the same cup ,when complaining and pointing out that I just paid …More“

“It was amazing!! From the shish kabob to the hummus to the rice and fried cauliflower and lamb meatball and even the baklava with ice cream suggested by our waitress, we fell in love with a new authentic Turkish restaurant! The service was great and we even met a wonderful family having a birthday. The atmosphere was perfect! I cannot wait to go back!!! We also had Turkish coffee and a cappuccino!“

“Everyday we got a chance to eat here it was a great experience. Top to bottom from the head chef to staff they were engaging & explained all the daily food options. Not to mention to food was excellent. Unfortunately we didn't get to try it longer as my father passed away on hospice. We're holding my father's memorial service on location & are going to use them for the food afterwards. Thank you for everything!“

“So far I've tried their coffee, Frittata, and baklava... recommended 👍“

“I stayed at the DoubleTree by Hilton Market Center and had dinner either in person or to-go from TerraNova Cafe every night.

Food takes about 20 minutes. 25 minutes for my burger Day 1.

Night #1: I ate in person in the lobby bar. Ordered a Kicker Burger, which came with fries, and some mixed vegetables. Order-to-Entree took 26 minutes. The value is not bad for a hotel restaurant; certainly a good amount of food and the fries came out nicely crispy. The burger was decent (4/5). The mixed vegetables are a little too oily for me (3.5/5). Service was very friendly and attentive for a lobby bar.

Nights 2-3: I ordered the Mixed Green Full Salad with Salmon. Was ready to-go within 20 minutes (I just went up to my room and came back). Took a bite to try it out and the salmon was a little rubbery but not bad (3.5/5). Portions were good.

Night 4: I ordered the Walleye Fish and Chips and it was surprisingly good! Everything came out very crispy and the sauces were plentiful. The Cole slaw was a nice accompaniment. It was a tad oily but overall pretty solid and good portions (4/5).

For Hilton Diamond members, food cost and tax are covered by F&B credits but NOT tip. So anything you tip on the tab will still hit your folio.

Overall, solid choice for a hotel restaurant and a great way to use the F&B credits for dinner if you don't eat breakfast.“

“Such a lovely spot for breakfast — calm atmosphere, great coffee, and beautifully presented food. I had the smashed avocado with poached eggs, and everything was so fresh. My little boy said they were the fluffiest pancakes with bacon and maple syrup! The full English was delicious with generous portions — Great service and highly recommend!“

“The chicken wings last week were excellent!!! Today I chose BBQ Ribs with mac and cheese and greens. They also had Brisket, Links, and BBQ Chicken Thighs and baked beans. Wow, everything looked so scrumptious, it was hard to choose. Great portions. Enough for leftovers later. New chef? Every bite was very tasty. Compliments to the Chef!“

“Delicious beignets and iced lattes. Sitting out at the little tables is the perfect atmosphere!“

“we stopped here for a bite and a coffee this am, and this hidden gem was absolutely amazing! avo toast was delicious! bacon was crispy and coffee was sooooo good. the staff were wonderful! attentive but not annoying and super friendly! really fairly priced too! we're going to come back again before we leave town! thanks guys!“

“Sam’s self-checkout saves a lot of time, and the scanner worked on everything I bought (and my Sam’s card on my phone.) If you go in, and the shelves look like a bomb went off, you’re in Walmart. Sam’s is downstairs.“
