“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!!“

“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!“

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

“We booked the Winter Igloo experience for New Year's Eve, and it was wonderful! We had s'mores and cocktails, and my daughter had the Gingerbread hot cocoa. We loved the decor and music, and our server was super attentive! I hope they do this again next season“

“The flower selection even in September was gorgeous, and I can’t wait to try the strawberry jam we came home with. Will be back for the pumpkin patch! And the product selection and ladies at the neighboring Boxcar Quilts were outstanding too!“

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

“Tried it out during my recent trip to Dallas. Ordered the Cafe Cortado & Belgian Waffle. Cortado was great. Waffles were loaded with bananas, strawberries & a generous portion of Nutella. The waffles by themselves were okay. Friendly staff & service was great.“

“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.“

“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. “

“Awesome place the take the family. Our kids really enjoy the variety of flavors and being able to sample them before they buy it. The guy that’s runs it is very nice and friendly. This place has become a twice a week evening outing. Awesome place.“

“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.“
