“Best donuts and only place I’ll consider “wasting” calories for. Amazing!!! And great coffee too“

“Their cappuccino is the best I’ve had in the South. Amazing coffee drinks. Great atmosphere. Just cool place to be all around.
Ask for Clay to make your drink if he’s there!
I knows his coffee.
I also had a pour over with their Sumatra roast… wow. It was on point.“

“I had breakfast yesterday for the first time here, and the food was amazing. My friend had the banana and Nutella crepes. She said they were delicious. I had scrambled eggs and ham and the portions were awesome. Our server Isaac was excellent. We plan to return and try having lunch. I would recommend this little cafe, it's very spacious, the service is excellent; the food is delicious, and the coffee is great“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 stars)
I stopped in to try iHeart Kolache and was greeted by a cozy, clean little spot—perfect for a relaxed morning bite. I ordered the sausage gravy kolache and a lemon kolache, while my wife had a cheese one.

Unfortunately, the sausage gravy kolache was way too salty—I ended up tossing it. That said, the fruit and cheese kolaches absolutely saved the visit. The lemon was tangy and bright, and the cherry was perfectly sweet with a buttery dough that melts in your mouth.

The atmosphere is great for grabbing coffee and a sweet treat to start your day. I’d definitely return for the fruit kolaches—they’re worth the stop!“

“the BEST of 2 flavors I ever tried. I would never get vanilla until I tired it here... the real deal. Best vanilla and pistachio I tasted anywhere.... I've been to Italy, this is better“

“AMAZING BRUNCH <3 Love the location . Food is so tasty quick service ! Can not wait to come back !“

“Enjoyed breakfast here a couple more times in recent weeks. In short, this is a very good American breakfast joint, dishing up very good biscuits & gravy, french toast, eggs & bacon. Coffee is bottomless, service very friendly and timely, prices what you expect for a great breakfast. Have had several good breakfasts here in recent years and plan to do so again during future trips through the area.“

“Great donuts and they are so helpful to us here at NCTC!!“

“Amazing food, lovely atmosphere, and wonderful staff ❤️“

“Came to Denton for a school competiton for my child from SA and was looking for tacos of course! Well, when there's a line, you know it's good! Line was quick and let me tell you, the food was delicious! Took me back to my grandma's mexican cooking with love, flavor and just homemade. Barbacoa taco, Machacado w/egg and pap con chile, Yummm! If I am ever in town again, it will always be one of my stops.“

“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!!“

“Stopped in today for the first time and got a large decaf latte with whole milk and caramel. This coffee is so good!!! You can taste the quality in the ingredients and the caramel flavor is not too sweet or overpowering of the actual flavor of the coffee. Definitely will return!!“

“The taste of Korean pasta you can get at a pasta restaurant in Korea. Even though it's Korean style, the carbonara was disappointing because it was too watery, and the spicy seafood pasta smelled like clams. I don't know if the garlic bread was provided as a service or if it was originally a sub, but it was given for free and I enjoyed it, but the quality of the pasta was worth 10,000 won. For example, at the level of a restaurant like Nippongnaepong. I visited because I missed Korean pasta, so it was a satisfying visit, but I don't think I would order pasta again after knowing the price. However, I would like to come during brunch time and try the brunch menu or soup again. The server was friendly, ordering was convenient because it was a pad order, and most of all, the food came out really quickly, so it took just 30 minutes to get to the restaurant In-N-Out.“

“We hosted a baby shower here last weekend and it was perfect!! Everyone who picked up my call answered my questions leading up to the event. The tea plates were so good! If you book this for your next event you won’t be disappointed. They were just a delight. “

“Amazing food, lovely atmosphere, and wonderful staff ❤️“

“Sweetwater’s Cafe off of Teasley is hands-down one of the best local spots in Denton! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the warmest smiles and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Absolutely incredible coffee — smooth, rich, and brewed to perfection. You can tell they take pride in everything they serve. The service is exceptional. The staff is attentive, friendly, and genuinely cares about your experience. It’s the kind of place where they remember your name and your favorite order — that rare, personal touch that keeps you coming back. Sweetwater’s isn’t just a café — it’s a community favorite, a local treasure, and a place that captures the heart of Denton. If you haven’t been yet, you’re truly missing out. Do yourself a favor and make this your next stop. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Great breakfast and coffee“

“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.“

“I love the taste Flavors Service Covid Sops Clean atmosphere“

“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.“

“Great place for Tex-Mex breakfast!“

“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!“

“It’s such a cozy little place for morning coffees, the atmosphere is just so welcoming and the second floor seating area is such a cool experience. Great customer service, super helpful with questions about app services, and delicious coffee and bagels (my favorite is the cinnamon sugar bagel)!“

“I had ordered various types of rice cakes, such as Garaetteok and Sirutteok, several times. They were all delicious, but especially the Yeongyangtteok, with abundant ingredients, was so tasty that I plan to order it again next time. Highly recommend.“

“Most friendly, welcoming restaurant I have frequented and delicious coffee and cuisine! This French Bistro reflects the charm of Paris with the decor and ambiance as well as the comprehensive menu for breakfast, brunch and lunch, and offers a delicious menu for their weekend evenings! I highly recommend L’Amitie French Bistro!“

“It was wildly fast they were at getting the drinks out (like not even 2 minutes after ordering). The interior is awesome, giving off vibes like a trendy coffee place with tons of tables.Tons of options to choose. I got the honeydew slush and dirty boba, which were both delicious. They also have fat free options for some drinks.Also, give the macarons a try! They were perfectly made in terms of taste and texture.3 macarons and 3 drinks for just over $25 is a great deal. Definitely coming back when in the area.“

“Omg this is the cutest place ever!!! I absolutely love unicorns, so to stumble across this place made my day!!! The decor, theme, and customer service is amazing! This is definitely one of my favorite spots now! 🦄“

“Went Firstwatch and after having a bad experience at my doctors visit my son and I wanted breakfast. We were seated right away and a young lady by the name of Iris took care of us. What a breath of fresh air. This young lady was polite and very attentive. You guys have a gem working for you. I will be back just to be in her company. Armando C“

“Exceptionally friendly service and super prompt. It’s a great place to relax on your own while doing nothing or reading a book, catching up on work or meeting friends.
It would be a great addition if they would offer more selection of bakeries or sandwiches.“

“Had a great breakfast this morning. Food was delicious, service was fast and friendly. Prices were reasonable. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Sidewalk Cafe is our favorite place to eat in Denton county. We have not had one thing to complain about, the food, service, and the cleanliness. Sam is great in the kitchen but SUSIE Is the sweetest friendliest owner we have ever met! Very reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. The best pancakes ever! Always have to get a to go box.“

“Wake up and smell the coffee is never more true than at Parks Coffee Roastery & Cafe in Carrollton. The roaster smell invites you in as soon as you open your car door! Inviting and spacious interior to relax, enjoy your coffee and a pastry from their bakery selection and watch roasting in action.“

“Please open again soon! I love your healthy delicious food & so many do! We miss you!“

“Friendly staff, amazing menu, everything is top notch. An absolute gem of a place tucked away in a cool little neighborhood. I love taking my mom here for brunch every chance I get. The BAT Benedict (Bacon Avocado Tamato) is killer! The Very Berry Crepes plate almost made my eyes shoot out of my head, I couldn't believe the presentation. Tasted as good as it looked! 5 stars for sure!“

“soooooo good“

“Beautiful displays. Excellent friendly cashier. I like soft music that is playing, but it is a little loud at times. We had regular coffee. We asked for and got ceramic mugs. There are 4 coffees at the coffee bar to choose from. I first tried a small amount of the dark roast. I was concerned from past experience that it wouldn't be hot. It was not hot, but lukewarm at best. My husband got a cup of hazelnut flavored coffee. It was hotter and had some steam coming off of it. I got the hazelnut flavor which was OK for being hot. I added skim milk. There is a microwave for use below the coffees. There's no outdoor seating here. I can see an open closet through an employee only doorway, and this is sloppy looking. The cold drink bar should be kept pristine, and it isn't.“
