50 Best Cafes near Lake Dallas

“Alicia is a very special hostess and makes everyone feel like her friend. The salads, quiche, and scones are delightful, and of course, the tea, too. My husband and I both appreciate the uniqueness of Beatitudes. We're thankful Beatitudes is in Lake Dallas.“

“Local gem with amazing smoothies and creative, gourmet toast options. Bright, clean and fresh. Support local!“

“Sidney is great .personable and takes care of the customer needs“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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 !“

“Absolutely love Chestnut Tree in Denton! The cozy vibe, incredible food, and genuinely friendly service make it a standout every single time. Everything is full of flavor and clearly made with care, and the owner is incredibly welcoming and a terrific host who makes you feel right at home. A must visit spot that is easy to recommend.“

“So excited this is at Painted Tree in Highland Village. I grew up in Arlington where the original one is and everything tastes just the same!! Rose Petal Tea, Rose Garden Variety Plate, everything on the menu is soooo good!!“

“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!“

“Never noticed this place, hope it does well! Hibiscus tea + Lychee was really good and caffiene free <3 great for after a big meal :) I like the decision to show off the big tubs of nutella 😂 very fun design choice.

Oh this place has been here for years lol I don't come to Carrollton enough“

“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.“

“Excellent food and service!“

“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“

“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“

“This was my first time visiting but I really enjoyed it! So far, my favorite menu item is the spinach and artichoke quiche! It was really delicious.

Just don't make the same mistake I did when picking up your food. They will call out the order, but not your name, and the name on your food is the employee's name so don't let your food set out too long 😂.“

“Delicious all of them!! Strawberry&Mango Smoothie, Taro Latte and Taro Smoothie 👌“

“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! 🦄“

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

“My mother & I had a delicious breakfast, her treat. I had scrambled eggs, bacon and LARGE pancakes! Mom had a breakfast burrito and ate every last bit! haha. we also had coffee, a cappuccino and a mocha, delicious. service was good, restaurant was clean. I liked the spoon wall, #spooniewarrior. Next time I'll treat my mom to another meal here!“

“Absolutely delightful in all respects. Now open for dinner Thursday-Sat 5:30-9:00. Dinner menu is awesome with a variety of dishes. My favorite is the Red Fish.“

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

“Great place for Tex-Mex breakfast!“

“My family and went to North Point today for the first time. Service from Hailey was top notch and the food, coffee and mimosas were DELICIOUS 😋😋😋 can't wait for tomorrow to eat my leftovers 🤣😂“

“Amazing food cocktails and service!!“

“Trio Coffee is really a fantastic coffee shop. Great atmosphere, lovely coffee options.....but the standout mention is the impeccable, personalized customer service! Positivity radiates from the team and this carries through consistently with every visit. If you go more than once, they will remember your name! 🙂“

“Everything is delicious! Super friendly professional staff! Satisfied !🥰“

“Great food, friendly service.“

“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!“

“We love this place! One of the last few remaining family-owned businesses in Carrollton! The food is wonderful, the service is superb. Just beware that they will be closed on the holidays. Recommend that they update their hours on Google maps so that people can know...“

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

“soooooo good“

“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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“Edison coffee has the best selection and consistently delicious coffees. I also really enjoy the classes, cupping and other pop-up events they've held. While I definitely miss their cafe location, the coffee has remained a regular part of my day at home!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!💕“
