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

“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!“

“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“

“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 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“

“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!!“

“Best place for practice! Amazing staff! I LOVE this place!“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

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

“I ate here for the first time yesterday, and was so glad I did! We enjoyed sitting outside and our server was very friendly and fast bringing our drinks and food out. The cornbread and butter app was great. I got the choose 2 lunch special with tortellini soup and chicken salad sandwich and both were amazing. My son had the truffle Mac and cheese and it was also very good. We had a great experience and will definitely be back!“

“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. “

“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!“

“Veronica's Cafe at 803 E McKinney St, Denton, TX 76209

I have driven by this place so many times in the past and saw so many cars out there doing the morning time and some even at lunch. Today I stopped in for breakfast. I did not know what to order so I allowed the lady at the cash register to suggest what I should be eating for breakfast this morning. I want to say I ate a pupusa which was overflowing with warm beans and cheese. This was my favorite and when I go back to this establishment again I'm going to order at least three or four of these delicious savory breakfast meals. The customer service was kind and efficient for the small establishment. The people in the back were very focused on making the food and getting people on with their mornings. The parking lot is very small but people are coming and going in a very efficient manner. If you can order this online which I believe you can. You should be able to just pick up and go. Will definitely be trying this restaurant early in the morning once again soon.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 breakfast and coffee“

“Ive been living in the area for a year now and this is the first time I come to this place. Carrolton has a wide variety of boba shops and this is one of the better ones. My drink came out fast and the service was friendly. I think the shop is a bit out dated, but nonetheless the boba is great.“

“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)!“

“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“

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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I LOVE Berries & Batter! When ever my parents walk in, Chris gives us a big hug and warm welcome. The food is amazing, more over, the service is 2nd to none! I look forward to visiting my parents and Berries & Batter during the holidays.“

“We love the amazing options at @Seven Mile Cafe in @old town Lewisville! They have gluten free and vegan options. Large portions and extremely kid friendly. Amazing lattes too!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“Amazing pecan twist pastry ! I love their chicken avocado sandwich. My favorite, with soup!“

“I was treated to a free meal today by the manager because a gift card I received at Christmas didn't work. The young lady, named Andrea, was a doll and so kind and helpful. I was embarrassed but they made me feel so at ease. Wonderful service and food was to die for!!💕“

“Fantastic food & service My favorite restaurant for rich comfort foods“

“great food at a good price 👌“

“Omg I enjoyed food so tasty and great customer service. I will come back again“
