“Good coffee. Nice environment. Friendly and fast service“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“The food is fresh and super delicious! Except there is no meat on the menu. If you are okay with not having any meat options, this place is great. The aesthetics are super cute, but it is a small location. Not ideal for sitting down with more than one or two people. The coffee and juice selection is phenomenal.“

“Delicious as always! Used to go to their old location but this new location in Bishop Arts is improved and still so charming! We got the La Complete crepes in buckwheat and Notre Dame crepes in flour and they were both amazing! Service was friendly and attentive. They have a small parking lot and street parking.“

“Great good, great atmosphere...will be back“

“Stumbling upon this blue building in Dallas brought a sense of home to this NY girl. Food was so fresh, generous portions, and the coffee as close as it gets to a NY cafe. Top it w/ excellent service!“

“Our group came from Wichita, KS to tour Bonton today. We were amazed at the community, at the forward thinking, the creative programming, the inclusion of the neighborhood, the positive energy, the love of the staff, and the hope for the future. We are going home inspired!“

“Good food priced just right. Nothing too fancy, very down to earth. Great tasting food with a friendly environment. You will not leave disappointed.“

“The Mediterranean bowl is so fresh and full of flavor!“

“elightful, stellar spot! We love the retro vibes and staff are all super kind. Delicious gluten free and vegan pizza 🍕 Glad to see a few vegan options! Additionally, I enjoyed the matcha latte with oat milk and the market salad with falafel! Definitely check it out! :) there is also a bike shop next door, with a speak easy kind of vibe.“

“Love the cup of broth, popover with strawberry butter, delicious entree choices, attentive and friendly service and awesome hostess. A perfect place for a special birthday lunch. Thanks for the complimentary piece of birthday cake, too. And the cappuccino is THE BEST (even the decaf)!“

“We go here once a week for a mid-week children's program and have fallen in love with this place! The Tuesday special (hot dog, great quality bun, French fries and drink for under $6. The portion is well worth the price! Amazing to be getting this deal in this day and age. Staff has always been friendly.“

“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. It is very low key and informal, however you may come in hangry but they will make sure to feed you and you'll leave happy with a food coma. The portions are massive.“

“I’ve been going here for so long, and can’t believe I never left a review until now. They have the best chicken tortilla soup in the entire world!! My mom and I always go for our soup and yummy avocado toast (with red onions and tomatoes!). The chocolates are so good too. They’re not trying to be something they’re not: just a simple neighborhood cafe woth good sandwiches and European chocolates that are divine! Always crowded, but not so much that you have to wait more than 5-10 minutes for a table. It’s a gem!“

“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.“

“Great work! Highly recommended .“

“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!“

“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.“

“One of the best places to hangout in America“

“Orange Cafe is an absolute gem!
The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff are always friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. It’s the perfect spot to start your morning right. I always leave full and happy. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great breakfast spot!“

“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.“

“I've been to Me Latte Cafe a few times. It's convenient at the plaza. I usually get a coffee. Only food I have tried is the vaca frita sandwich. It was good but a little overpriced for the size and it not coming with any side or a drink.“

“Good food and great service!“

“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!“
