“This cafe is the best coffee experience in the area! I’m extremely picky about coffee and this place went above and beyond my expectations.Run by the sweetest family and hands down the best customer service. I always leave this place with a smile on my face. A must try!“
“Walked in to a case of goodies to order. I want to say the lady we placed the order with was the owner. She is super sweet. Checked on us a couple of times. When we left, she said thank you for hanging out with us. I ordered the rellena ball, crawfish ball, the Cuban sandwich with plantain chips, 2 of each of the croquetas, and a chocolate tres leches. When I say that everything was amazing is an understatement. Between the service and the food, I was in heaven. Their coffee menu looks amazing, but it was too late to drink any. Definitely will eat here again. There are about 5 tables and 5 barstools inside and about 5 outside.“
“Wow, amazing service. The man making the crepe really took his time to make the experience as pleasant as possible.Having such great service is a pleasant change of pace from typical. We spoke about our trip and the crepe was out of this world!“
“I had a delightful experience at Staycation. The staff was incredibly welcoming, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. The coffee and pastries were top-notch, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing break. What sets Staycation apart is its charming back yard, providing a cute and serene outdoor space to enjoy your treats. The attention to hospitality and the inviting ambiance make Staycation a must-visit for coffee enthusiasts. I'm looking forward to my next visit!“
“I was able to take my family in, and we had a wonderful experience. Not only did we get a healthy and delicious shake, but we were able to speak about some of the things we were trying to do nutritionally with our family. The owners took time out for us to discuss not only some of their products we could try but how we can do better in our purchases and choices elseswhere.“

“This is a must visit coffee shop!!!! It is so cute! There is a good amount of seating inside but there is also the cutest covered patio with string lights! The coffee was pretty good, kind of expensive but still good. All the baristas were very friendly and the place was cutely decorated and clean. I can’t wait to go back!“
“Natural light flows through the floor-to-ceiling windows, indie tunes play softly in the background among the hum of an espresso machine operated by a friendly barista, and healthy greenery (each with a name) sits on windowsills, tables and shelves. This little down-to-earth coffee shop serves up beautifully curated brews and buttery pastries. Crochet cat coasters, wooden games, and comics are scattered throughout the small space, inviting you to stay awhile.“
“This restaurant has a good variety of menu items and is affordably priced. Yesmin, our server, was kind, attentive and considerate. The food tasted great and the portion sizes are adequate. The only bad thing I say about this restaurant is the booths are difficult to get in because the tables make the sitting area narrow. I may be a little overweight but even a slim person would find it difficult to get in! Lol“
“Just visited this cafe today and everything was amazing. Food was great, service was good, and clean environment.Even though there are multiple restaurants to choose from in Dallas area and this location, this cafe offers great services and food.I would definitely recommend this restaurant whether you trying out some Ethiopian/Eritrean food, or just going out dinner, give this place a try and you’ll get good results.Vegetarian options: They have some vegetarian options.“
“We threw a surprise party for a friend of mine here and the employees were super patient with us, food was great and service was fast! Everyone’s favorite was the curly fries, they were hot and delicious. The boba tea was fantastic and the cups are reusable, you get a good amount for the price. They even offered the birthday girl free bubble waffles!“
“What a hidden place this is! Make sure to call and make a reservation, we did and they were almost booked out for a Friday morning/afternoon.There is live piano being played, not sure if this is a daily thing but it was so lovely. It is tucked away in an huge antique mall.Prices are very affordable for what you are served. We tried a few things but you must try the strawberry pretzel salad which is nothing like a salad but every bit a delicious dessert.Offers a simple menu but very well done!We had a lovely lunch, the staff and owner were very friendly. Will definitely be telling my family & friends about this place and be back again!“
“Quickly becoming my go to breakfast place. The omelettes are fabulous. I love the option that can accompany most entrées; choice of the biscuit and gravy, biscuit, toast, pancake, and the list goes on. The cheddar bacon avocado omelette is amazing super fluffy. They are not shy or skimpy on that feeling the owner is super nice and really cares about his customers. Sweet tea is actually good for one at a breakfast place . Home fires that taste home made for once which isn’t what most BP can claim . Seriously, try it out . They serve all day breakfast. They also have a luncheon dinner menu“
“Don't be shy! We hesitated going here for almost 2 years after moving here. Seemed off limits since on school grounds. Thankfully we mustered the strength and thankfully we did. We will come a lot more!Our family came for the lunch hour and ordered the blue burger, sunny side burger, sweet potatoe and wedge fries, chicken salad, and a pepperoni sausage pizza. Everything was really good, a little salty but still we were impressed. My daughter insisted on eating her pizza throughout the day and wouldn't share...so I assume it was great! The chicken salad has apples and grapes, and chunks of chicken, etc.On our way out we got a pumpkin loaf and seasonally iced sugar cookies. They were the cutest cookies!The prices are great too and you are helping the kiddos. The staff and manager were very kind to us. Everything was really well maintained and clean too.You can order for take out/pick up or dine in too.Vegetarian options: Salad is on the menu.Kid-friendliness: Vinyl benches and tile floors for easy cleanup. Burgers and pizza are always good for the kids too.Parking: Large private lot for the restaurant with spots marked just for customers.“
“I spend a few hours each week playing D&D and we always have a great experience. The service is always great and the tea flavors are awesome. Don’t forget to try one of their stuffed pretzels—always amazing. Just a great place with an awesome atmosphere.“
“I am a working work mom that grew up in NOLA so I really appreciate good food ! Come check this place out .. the food is always fresh and tastes good ! My picky teen boys have yet to be disappointed! Prices are reasonable and will not break the bank so win win !!!“
“Such a good experience. Came at 11:30 on a Sunday, place was full but no wait. Zane was our server - best server I have had since I can remember, awesome guy who truly made our experience. Food was amazing: omelet, hash browns, combo deal with banana Nutella French toast with 2 eggs 2 bacon 2 sausage, 2 coffees, orange juice. $45.“
“Finally had a chance to try this place out... And of course I asked what they recommended. I let them know my favorite coffee is a sea salt caramel coffee from 85, they said I should try their Sea Cream Black Coffee. Definitely a good choice, strong and not overly sweet. My lady also tried their house coffee & she liked that also. We will be coming back for more!“
“We loved our first experience here thanks to the great food and wonderful server, Cindy. Very sweet young woman. I recommend the Greek style hash brown with eggs dish. It was so good. I also had the French toast w/strawberries and Nutella. So good.“
“Amazing service. The Americano I had was perfect. My wife's Thai tea was heavenly. Then we, well, I had the Banana creme burlee toast! I say I because after the 1st bite I devoured the rest before my wife could get a bite. It had the perfect balance of sweet, crunch, Banana and bread. The breat was light. This toast hit the spot and didn't leave me feeling stuffed. We will be back often. Great place! Must visit!“
“My husband and I’s new favorite brunch spot!! We ordered the breakfast burrito, grilled ham and cheese, and as “dessert” we ordered their stuffed French Toast which was our favorite. The filling on it is not too overpowering and came with just enough. Definitely worth trying !!“
“Oh my goodness... AMAZING!!! absolutely delicious food and great staff. First time trying Ethiopian food and the only thing I can complain about is that I have not tried this before. We shared the veggie and meat platter. Perfect for two people! I will be coming back.“
“Stopped by for dinner with family.Awesome Mediterranean food. Definitely an option for al-carte meals. All items tasted authentic and flavorful. Service is fast and staff are friendly.Below are the items we triedChicken Kabab(minced skewers), 5/5All mix chicken kabab(comes with minced skewer, cube pieces), 3.5/5Falafel,5/5humus plate, 5+/5chicken shawarma. 3.5/5The bread served is ? 5/5“
“The food at this restaurant is outstanding!It’s a wonderful atmosphere and they really care about giving you a cultural experience from the ambiance/music to the traditional coffee ceremony.The employees are so kind and offered great recommendations.I highly recommend shawley if you enjoy traditional Eritrean/Ethiopian food or if you’re looking for delicious vegetarian/vegan options“
“After I left a recommendation for a breakfast option in Allen on a FB post, I realized that I had never left Elke's a G review. The owners are super. They work very hard to make sure their customers are taken care of. I've had breakfast and catering bites from them. My favorites are the quiche and the catering options we were served at the Allen / Plano City Lifestyle event.“
“This place is good and the service is fantastic.I got a skillet fish and a juiced drink.What I like about the food is it’s not overly greasy and gross.My best friend suggest this place and I will be returning.Also their menu is HUGE! So plenty of options.“
“I visit the Allen public library really often so I always walk past this place. I decided to give this place a try after my chicken salad recipe turned out to be a disaster... It was a slow afternoon and the cashier is really nice. Since it was my first time trying their food, he answered all the questions I had. I ordered a roast beef sandwich. It was good but nothing to rave about. It's just your standard average cafe food. Only thing that stood out t me was that it was pricey. Between $7-8 for only a sandwich. Oh well... It's a nice and convenient option if you need a light snack.“
“I eat here frequently, usually once a week. I have eaten a fair amount of what is on the menu and every thing has been great. They may have the single best mashed potatoes I've ever eaten. Their fried steak, hambuger steak, and meatloaf are my favorites. The fried steak is hand breaded and perfect. Everything is handmade and delicious. The people are super nice and pleasant to deal with and the prices are more than fair. Probably my favorite place to eat in Plano. If you haven't eaten here, you're missing out.“
“Came in for taho but they didn't have during that day I came in so I ordered the mango sago since it was new on the menu. It was so good. They had fresh mangoes, mango jelly and mango popping boba. Kinda like a mango milk tea. Might have to come back to try other things on the menu.“
“I have been coming here for a long time, and this place never disappoints me. Me and my mom come here for brunch a lot, and the foods always come fresh!! I usually eat fritata, buna (coffee) and tiramisu, and we always buy cake for occasions at this place!“
“Just had breakfast and the food was really good. Myriam, the GM stopped by our table to check on the food and service. She is very hands on and made the experience a great one. Our waiter and the hostess were also very friendly and accommodating.Parking: Plenty of parking“
“Great place! The food was great: good quality and flavorful. Many options for breakfast and lunch. Pancakes are big. My husband and I shared the blueberry pancake and it was delicious ? I plan to visit again and try a new item. They have a few seats for outside sitting but I enjoy sitting inside. Unfortunately no breakfast bar though, but no biggie. Come check it out and have your own experience.“
“Creamy Tomato Basil - 10! Topped w/Fresh parm, house made croutons and a dollop of pesto magic. The chicken cob salad was also fresh and seasoned to perfection. The Cayenne ranch elevated the flavor of whatever seasoning mix used on the avocado - 10. My husband’s Cod and slaw were an unexpected hit. He wasn’t hopeful about the slaw. The slaw was also fresh, crispy and flavorful. Very nice cozy neighborhood cafe…..puts me in the mind of Cheers - the show. My only critique is tipping. We ordered and paid at the counter. We don’t usually tip counter service but did leave the cashier a couple of bucks. We were given a buzzer and thought we would pick up our food from the counter when ready. A delightful young lady brought our food and basically waited on our table. We couldn’t tip her like she deserved because we didn’t have much cash and paid first. She certainly deserved much more than we left. However, the front door clearly states CASH ONLY. Maybe there could be another system in place so the servers can be tipped.“
“NWA ! Dope place to go! Better than Jamba Juice fr?? I was visiting from California and had such a bomb experience! Marie is such a sweet women and knows her way around delicious nutrition. Kus those smoothies were bomb af AND nutritious !?!? Cmon. I wish there was one here in California like the one they got in Dallas miss you NWA ! Miss you MARIE !!! ??❤️?“
“I went there for my birthday lunch and I had the most beautiful experience. They food was good, the dessert was amazing and they went to great lengths with the decoration of the desert for my birthday. I’ll definitely recommend this place for a good time.“
“I have come here twice, and both times loved the experience. The owner is so friendly and kind, and makes an effort to connect with customers. The drinks were wonderful as well. Would definitely recommend this place to friends and family nearby.“
“I love coming here when I visit Dallas, their crepes are the best I’ve had! Even compared to anything in France, Korea, or New York. They are very generous with their portions and the quality is right how a crepe should be. A hidden gem in the middle of the metroplex ???“
“I have been going to this place for YEARS! Like this was here back when I was in elementary! The owner is so nice, she welcomed you proudly and her food?? Delicious! The atmosphere?? Perfect to study in! It doesn’t feel stuffy, it feels very open and overall nice! I highly recommend this place! Definitely try their bulgogi sandwich and their chococroffle cause they are so good!“
“My daughter and I started coming here around a month ago. The beverages and pasteries are delicious. We've tried various coffees and tea and liked them all. The service is friendly and fast. The staff is knowledgeable if you have questions. The atmosphere is quiet, but not stuffy. There are often small groups meeting to study or chat and also always individuals reading or working. There is a large table or small tables can be pushed together or a cozy sofa area.“
“My husband loves breakfast places and this one is one of his favorites! The breakfast is always fresh and delicious. They have some Mexican options like chilaquiles, carne asada and more so I can always eat something since I'm not a big breakfast person Overall it's a great place to eat!“
“Good Ethiopian food in the area. The staff is good and provides quick service. Calling in for ordering food is difficult as the phones don't connect, so one needs to walk in to order and pickup. This can be a little tiresome unless you are in the area.“
