50 Best Cafes near Farmers Branch

“My wife and I have been coming to Aussie Grind for the past six months, and we absolutely love it. After moving from New Zealand, it was surprisingly hard to find a coffee shop that lived up to our expectations. As soon as we found Aussie Grind, it became our go-to spot.

We come here every week, and honestly, I don’t think I’ve had better coffee anywhere in the DFW area. The food is consistently delicious, the staff are incredibly friendly, and the service is always top-notch. The atmosphere makes you feel right at home.

If you’re looking for the best coffee in DFW and a great place to start your day, Aussie Grind is a must-visit. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Such a lovely place for a nutritious breakfast! I got the vanilla latte with almond milk and the salmon toast. Everything was fresh and delicious! Excellent customer service and just a generally friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be returning!“

“Tried the 24-K latte at Desert Avenue and it was not only stunning but delicious ✨ Served on a beautiful gold tray—it honestly felt like Dubai vibes. Paired it with an almond croissant, which was perfectly flaky and delicious. Highly recommend the lavender ice cream too—so unique and refreshing! They offer a great variety of desserts and drinks, and I truly loved everything I tried. Such a great spot to sit back, relax, and enjoy the atmosphere—I’ll definitely be returning!“

“We were a group of 7 from Chicago visiting Dallas. Lets just say this place was amazing! From the drinks to the food, the presentation was amazing and the speed at how the orders came was STELLAR. Highly recommend this place for coffee, smoothies, avocado toast, acai bowls. 10/10“

“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!“

“Cafe was lively in the evening when we visited, but not overly crowded.
Loved their bee bread pastry- soft, sweet, and beautifully shaped like a honeycomb. The spiced Yemeni/Turkish coffee is unique and worth ordering if you like distinct flavors. The milk cake was just average, but overall, it's a really nice cafe with a great atmosphere.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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” ? ?“

“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!“

“This place is amazing- there are so many different options and I appreciate that there are several gluten-free options. The food always tastes good, the prices are very reasonable, and online orders get filled extremely fast. I highly recommend their crustless quiche!“

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

“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!“

“The food was delicious! We cleared our plates with every course, but what was really outstanding was the service and the kindness of all the staff toward us and our newborn. This was our first date night out since the baby was born and we will definitely go back again. I highly recommend it!“

“I've been eating a Cafe Max forever since their Richardson location. They are always very generous with their salad portions and a single takeout box can last me almost 2 meals. All the different salads are well dressed and well made. The zucchini carrot muffin that comes with the salad is delicious! My only minor nitpick is the chicken is often a little chewy even though they've dressed it to make it not as dry.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Kolaches (or kolbasneks if you wanna be prissy about it) here vary. When they're good they are astounding and when they're not good, it's mildly disappointing. Like I would avoid the ones with eggs because despite what the sign says, it's always almost exclusively eggs. Just about every other one is top tier. Even the standard jalapeno and cheese is one of the best I've had outside of Czech Stop, and much more local.“

“such a friendly environment.“

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

“Afternoon tea at NM Cafe in Neiman Marcus at Northpark Center was very nice. The service from Sharon was amazing and the teas were delicious. The sandwiches were good, although a bit under seasoned. The chocolate croissant was delicious but the scones were very small although the real clotted cream was nice. The sweets we not bad but there were too many macarons which were not to our liking. Overall, I give it a 4.5/5“

“I had a great experience at La La Land in Addison, thanks to Jaden! It was my first time visiting, and I wasn’t familiar with the menu at all. Jaden took the time to walk me through the options, answered all of my questions, and made thoughtful recommendations based on what I was looking for.

His customer service was exceptional—friendly, patient, and genuinely welcoming. He made what could have been an overwhelming first visit feel easy and enjoyable. Thanks to his recommendations, I found something I really loved, and I’ll definitely be back. If you’re new to La La Land, I highly recommend asking for Jaden!“

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

“The best pastries!! I can't wait to go again.“

“Came here for the first time today and it was actually really good. I got the mango kumquat green tea and my friend got the brown sugar boba, both drinks were really good. Also the girl with glasses at the front was really nice and patient answering all of our questions. I had seen some reviews talking about attitude before coming, so I was kinda worried, but honestly she was super sweet the whole time. Definitely had a good experience here.“

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

“Great atmosphere, service. Food was delicious.“

“Drip Coffee Zindabad! They were open when we walked by at 6:45 am while the competition across the street was closed! Who ever heard of a coffee shop not opening by 6 am at the latest? Even better, Drip offers delicious little breakfast soft tacos with excellent condiments. An all-around winner!“

“The match and coffee are just as good as the service. It was my first time there so I was nervous but Chyna helped me and assured me I could take my time and even helped me choose which drink the get. I ended up getting the strawberry fields and a regular vanilla latte. Thanks Chyna and La La!!! I will be back.“

“I’ve been coming here for 40 years and everything is always the same. Relaxing, many loyal customers and of course Nancy and Louis have it always working and everyone feels special. With that said, the food is fantastic“

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

“Amazing food, Danielle had great service will happily come back over, over and over again over again. 👍❤️“

“The toppings need to more evenly distributed. This is my 3rd time ordering, and each time the toppings are “clumped” and not evenly distributed. I always order The KING. This is an educational issue and application of ingredients for an even distribution must be employed. Thanks“

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

“Amazing food cocktails and service!!“

“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.“

“This was an amazing experience! The barista was wonderful (wish I’d gotten his name). He was patient while I made my decision and offered great advice on a selection. The coffee, while just black, was amazing in flavor. To my surprise they offer free ice water in both still and sparkling and copper cups to boot! The decor is a fun, shabby-chic and the vibe is welcoming, warm and friendly. I can’t wait to go back next time I’m in town!“

“It's hard to believe I have never reviewed this wonderful place. I'm a regular with my boyfriend who actually arranged our first meet up here. It's a small, intimate cafe with great food and service. And the chocolate selection is unbeatable. Love this place for its food and its vibe. Make it your place too. It's special.“

“The menu options are great! I was just there last week and had the macaroni and cheese with fried chicken! The blue cheese and bacon crumble on the top was absolutely amazing!!“

“This was a great place to eat! We tried it yesterday, during our trip, and were throughly pleased with it all. The restaurant looks great, service was fast, and the food was delicious. I’d recommend this to others.“

“First time dog mom here…I travel all over the state and needed a place to meet my friends and their dogs. It was going to be 100F in the afternoon so I needed someplace with AC. I found this place via the Bring Fido App and was shocked to hear they allow dogs indoors!! My pup and I felt so welcomed! The staff members Lilly and Faith were amazing. The food and coffee were amazing as well. Thank yall so much for having this place. We stayed 2 hrs and so grateful for this space to bring pups!“

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

“Best cuban experience in the Metroplex! Auténtica comida cubana. Excelente servicio, buenos precios, trato amable y te sientes como en casa...“

“We met a friend that eats here all the time. It is like a place out of time. The food tasty but you have yo flexible because you might run into a homeless person in the parking lot and the restaurant is a bit dated. But, it is a family run restaurant that has a lot of charm.

I had the Huevos Mexicanos, Refried Beans, and Corn Tortillas. Everything was tasty. Just in case you have anyone that wants Waffles, they only have Pancakes.

The service was prompt and our waitress checked on us multiple times.

The parking is a little tight on Sunday mornings. They do have a lot of patrons from the hotel behind them.

If you are open to a not so fancy diner from the past, you should definitely go for a visit.“

“Best bagels that I have ever tasted in my life!!! 🥯“

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

“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.“
