50 Best Cafes near Farmers Branch

“Dewey’s Café in Mercer Crossing is a great spot for a solid, satisfying lunch. Their daily specials are surprisingly good, with fresh flavors and portions that hit the mark. Even better, the prices stay comfortably within budget, making it an easy go‑to for a quality meal without overspending. Friendly, quick, and consistently tasty — definitely worth stopping by.“

“Great staff and consistent breakfast. The pancakes are always crispy around the edges.“

“Food is absolutely incredible, no matter if you decide on enchiladas or an omelet. Not only is the food delicious, the service given by Kaylee truly elevates the entire dining experience, and I’m not just saying that because she’s my sister. You can tell the entire staff takes pride in what they do, and that positive energy is contagious. 10/10 recommend!“

“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” ? ?“

“This was my first time here and I am so impressed!!! I did burn my tongue on my coffee, but I’ll call that “user error” lol.

They roast everything fresh and I think they even do tours here!

I had a drip coffee which has free refills which is amazing! Ohhh and the monkey bread was delicious!

They have the cutest little work area in the back and you can work while watching the roasted so their thing!“

“Best coffee and lovely atmosphere. Family owned and a real gem!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Such a warm atmosphere! You are instantly welcomed and pleasantly surprised with the speed of service! Amazing food and exactly what we were looking for from a hearty home- cooked style breakfast!“

“If you ever want a coffee, refresher and a sweet treat in the Irving area, this is the definitely you're place to go. I would highly recommend this place. The strawberry lemonade refresher and rose cake was refreshing and delicious 😋🤤.“

“Love Love Love their variety of kolaches and tasty treats it was a treat just finding this place randomly and I say it was the best turn around!
Support your local shops cause little gems like this could be gone!
Food was warm and fluffy🥹
Treats has the right amount of filling 🤩“

“I always thought this place was just for brunch but turns out they’re open for dinner too. We went with the family in the evening and had pasta, and everything was delicious. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and we even stayed for dessert. The kids loved it, and so did we. It was pretty quiet during dinner, which made me think maybe people assume it’s only a brunch spot and don’t come in the evening. Honestly, it’s a hidden gem for dinner and perfect for a relaxed meal with family. Definitely one of those great local spots you’ll want to go back to.“

“I have been a long time customer of Cafe Max when they were located in Addison back in the 90’s.

Recently, I visited their Plano location in hope A) they remained open and B) they had pasta and chicken mixture available. I arrived at 2:44PM a few minutes before closing at 3PM. When I entered, I wasn’t greeted immediately but instead given a stare-down of “ugh”. I dismissed the person with their sassy dismay as the gentleman with a kind notation, carrying the chicken mixture expressed “hi, how can I help you?” I stated, I’m sorry to place an order as you’re beginning to close shop. The gent said it’s okay. Yet when he looked at the other worker, their face expressed much less of not wanting to be there. It was an awkward moment for me and the gentleman. After I placed my order (duo plate); pasta, chicken mixture and a turkey sandwich to-go, the situation became uncomfortable. Once the gentleman closed the duo plate and handed the turkey sandwich to the other worker, who handed me the bag, I said with a smile, thank you! Their body language and no smile expressed a light muffled some-what of “yah” left me feeling sad for the individual. If they dislike their job, find another one. Or at least disguise your face expressions to Cafe Max customers. I believe when you receive poor customer service, your meal or service rendered will be much less than a happy experience. That was mine, my meal was bland because of the poor customer service experience.

No matter what I’ll continue my visits with Cafe Max but at the Richardson location where they greet you loudly and with a warm energetic smile, “Hi, how can we help you,” “have a nice day!” Everyone has a bad day or another, sometimes a contagious smile can redeem themselves and make others feel better! I give thanks to the gentleman that served me!“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had a great experience at this coffee shop! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was amazing. Joseph attended us and he was incredibly friendly, patient, and made us feel truly taken care of. It’s refreshing to meet someone who enjoys what they do and treats customers with such kindness. The drinks were delicious too! Definitely coming back. ☕🤎“

“This new cafe was amazing with so many options. I had the Olivia latte with lavender cold foam and was the best coffee I’ve ever had. The Olivia sandwich is to die for with the pistachio pesto! Steak sandwich is amazing with carmalized onions. The inside is so cute and very clean. The staff is always attentive and very friendly! Overall a 10/10!! Would reccomend to all ages. They also have very healthy options and no seed oil. I loveee this place!!!“

“Absolutely amazing coffee! The vibe is so nice! Just passing through Dallas looking for good coffee and couldn’t be happier with my experience here!“

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

“Exceptional coffee, cozy ambiance, and friendly staff make this coffee shop my favorite spot. A must-visit for coffee enthusiasts seeking quality brews.“

“The food was excellent ! The service is the best ! The same host and waitress have been there a while . They make you feel comfortable and relaxed . I had the Shrimp and Crab Louis salad ! It's a little pricey at $42.09 but it's pretty seasoned and very fresh . It truly has the New Orleans vinaigrette that lightly coated the lettuce and seafood . Of course their chicken broth is delicious and my other favorite is the popover with strawberry butter that comes with every meal ! And please taste your food before you season even if you think it looks plain .... It's why you pay these prices for perfectly turned out food ! And try going for their afternoon tea !“

“I have loved this place for over a decade. They have fantastic, desserts and wonderful coffee and super nice people. I think I’ve only ever experienced a not so nice person one time and that was probably 11 years ago. It’s a cute cozy little spot. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“My sister and brother in law were visiting and chose to have dessert from here. We each got something different and all were wonderful. Large, fresh pieces of torte and cheesecake.“

“So good 😋. You won’t be disappointed please try the avocado toast.“

“This is only our 2nd experience having food from Country Cafe! The first time was dine in and excellent on all accounts. Today (12/7/2025) not so much with getting food to go. Actually, not even a little bit. Placed our order for fried shrimp, catfish, onion rings & fries. Also, for carne asada (with rice, beans of course). Food was tied up when it was handed to me and I fully expected my order to be correct as it was simple and small... But I was very wrong!

First, our food was cold and we live very close to the restaurant. Upon inspection we had no condiments to go with the seafood platter so no tarter sauce, cocktail sauce, ketchup, etc. and the worst part is our french fries were missing completely! As I said, this was a small uncomplicated order! We will never order food to go again as it was a total waste of money.

If you choose to get to go orders I strongly suggest you untie the bag and inspect everything before you leave!“

“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!“

“Delicious fruit croffle!! The texture was perfect so it didn't get soggy with the toppings. Ice cream topping was super good as well and generous. Strawberries were fresh. Would highly recommend!!

We want to go back soon and try more ice cream flavors soon!!“

“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.“

“Our annual NYE brunch at Cafe 43 was wonderful. The hostess, Veronica, and our server, Fernando, were outstanding. They have both been with the Bush Library since its opening, and they are among the reasons we've come back year over year!“

“The food is absolutely amazing—every crepe is a masterpiece with fresh, flavorful ingredients. The staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel welcome from the moment you step in.

One of the highlights for me was the aroma. The delicious smell as you walk through the door makes it almost impossible not to want to order everything on the menu. It sets the perfect tone for the meal.

However, the service was noticeably slow, which took away from the overall experience. While I understand that great food takes time, the delay was longer than expected.

Overall, if you’re looking for delicious crepes and a warm atmosphere, this is the place to be. Just be prepared to wait a bit for your meal—but trust me, it’s worth it!“

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

“Great work! Highly recommended .“

“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.“

“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“

“toda su comida está muy rica y su personal muy amable 10/10“

“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!“

“Best southern cooked meals that I’ve ever had. Friendly staff, fast service, large portions for a great price. Everyday menus that offer a variety of different options daily.“

“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!“

“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!“

“such a friendly environment.“

“its amazing⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ********************“

“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!“

“Still my favorite place to get green Thai tea! Otherwise, their strawberry hibiscus is also good. Prices are ok, though they have gone up just like every place. Service is friendly enough. Give them a try, I prefer them over most of the other bubble tea places.“

“Delicious karak tea and chai. Also had the zataar cheese pie and spinach roll. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff! Will be back“

“The Seafoam Caramel here is amazing. The seafoam is rich, creamy, and slightly salty — it balances so perfectly with the sweetness of the caramel. Honestly one of the best toppings I’ve ever tried.
Another thing I really love is the price — definitely more affordable compared to other boba shops, but the quality is even better. Such a great value!
The baristas are also super nice and patient. I asked a lot of questions about the drinks and they explained everything clearly with a smile. You can tell they really care about their customers. Highly recommend this place!“

“I discovered a charming little restaurant café through a Google search and decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed! The restaurant is exceptionally clean, and the food quality is excellent, with a great variety for the price. I've taken several pictures of this place for you to see, and I highly recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a tasty and quick meal. You won't regret stopping by!“
