50 Best Cafes near The Colony

“Best coffee and lovely atmosphere. Family owned and a real gem!“

“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“

“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.“

“such a friendly environment.“

“Just went through the drive through for a small salad (Fuji apple) and had the nicest experience! First of all, everyone is always so nice and efficient. I couldn't reach the tip box so I asked the nice window guy if he could place it in the box, which he did. Then, he gave me a yummy lemon drop cookie! How kind was that?! Made me smile and made my day.?“

“You want Cuban food? Well this place is legit. The Cuban or the Ropa Vejia, sandwich tastes awesome. Couple that with a Pappa Rellena and you will go away delightfully full. The Fritta Cubana (Cuban Hamburger) is my favorite at the moment. And don't forget to try a Pastelito with a Cuban coffee for dessert. The food is always served fresh along with very friendly service. M&D“

“We got a chai latte, a banana peanut butter smoothie, and a lemon loaf! It was all so yummy! I can’t wait to go back in the morning before we leave town! Plus the owners were the sweetest and so helpful! Can’t wait to come back and visit again!“

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

“Can’t say enough about this place. It’s a one of a kind Dallas Treasure!! Great food. Great atmosphere. Great entertainment. Most of all …great VIBE set by Tony and Lisa and long time staffer, Jacob. Best cozy live music venue in Dallas…hands down!!! Thanks Tony and Lisa for “Stayin’ alive” ? ?“

“Such a lovely place for a nutritious breakfast! I got the vanilla latte with almond milk and the salmon toast. Everything was fresh and delicious! Excellent customer service and just a generally friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be returning!“

“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!“

“5 stars for the vanilla carmel latte that I had which was amazing. 5 stars for the service which was pleasant and warm. I just wish they had earlier hours so I had the opportunity to visit more often.“

“Delish I had the 3 pieces of my choice, fried chicken with a huge side salad and onion rings on steroids! $9.95 ! Two meals !! The sweetest lady at the register visited our table and gave us a little history about the Cafe she had suggested the fried chicken 🐔🍗 I'll definitely be back! went on a whim!“

“Such a warm atmosphere! You are instantly welcomed and pleasantly surprised with the speed of service! Amazing food and exactly what we were looking for from a hearty home- cooked style breakfast!“

“Five stars. Haraz gave me exactly what I want from a coffee shop: something distinctive, beautifully presented, and worth remembering.

I ordered the Sana’ani, a black coffee infused with cardamom. It was rich, fragrant, and smooth, with the cardamom complementing the coffee instead of covering it. I enjoyed it so much that I bought one of their coffee cups.

Then came the desserts: a silky matcha dome cake, warm Bee Bites filled with cream cheese and drizzled with honey, and a creamy coconut cheesecake coated in coconut and finished with a tiny dried rose. All three were excellent.

The entire shop is warm and inviting, with beautiful Yemeni-inspired details throughout. Everything felt intentional, from the atmosphere to the presentation. This was my first visit, and it definitely will not be my last.“

“Best for take outs and catering. I’ve been coming here for years. I’ve catered for my staff and it’s always a hit. The food is so consistent. The portions are hug, totally worth it. Our favs are the chicken and pasta salad. They have the yummy carrot muffins and best oatmeal cookies.“

“Another great breakfast to start the day. I've enjoyed this place for over a decade....still going strong ~ ....Happy Saturday to all !~~“

“I came all the way from DC for these donuts. Ok not just for these but I totally would have. Absolutely what I was looking for (and suggested by Reddit). I wish I could have eaten more. I plan to come back every morning while I'm in town“

“I would like to thank Adam the tech that came out to change out our coffee machine at Mirador Apartments.“

“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.“

“I love the drinks I get here. My family gets brown sugar boba (sometimes with traditional boba, sometimes with coffee jelly) and I get the Ube milk tea or the Thai milk tea. They’re always delicious, with friendly service.

The owner is always patient with my questions when I want to try something new. The rose tea, matcha and the coconut milk tea are also in my rotation.

The claw machine is fun too, not expensive and quite easy to win a prize.“

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

“Delicious karak tea and chai. Also had the zataar cheese pie and spinach roll. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff! Will be back“

“One of the best places to hangout in America“

“Super delicious and fast! Outdoor seating is nice, hopefully they will expand it more in the future!“

“Spirit of Kindness and the awesome food !!“

“The smoothies with boba in them are SO delicious!! Also, customer service is great! R.P.“

“The best pastries!! I can't wait to go again.“

“First time dog mom here…I travel all over the state and needed a place to meet my friends and their dogs. It was going to be 100F in the afternoon so I needed someplace with AC. I found this place via the Bring Fido App and was shocked to hear they allow dogs indoors!! My pup and I felt so welcomed! The staff members Lilly and Faith were amazing. The food and coffee were amazing as well. Thank yall so much for having this place. We stayed 2 hrs and so grateful for this space to bring pups!“

“Tried the burger today and wow! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“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.“

“The snow globe dome was an absolutely magical setting, beautifully decorated with festive Christmas décor that instantly put us in the holiday spirit. The ambiance was cozy and warm, thanks to the firepit inside, which made the experience even more enjoyable on a chilly evening. The charcuterie board was well-prepared with a great variety of meats, cheeses, and accompaniments, and the bottle of prosecco added a perfect celebratory touch. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, ensuring everything ran smoothly throughout the evening. One minor downside was that the speaker for music wasn't working, which would have added an extra layer of holiday cheer. However, even without the music, we all had a fantastic time and truly appreciated the unique and festive atmosphere. This experience is highly recommended for anyone looking for a cozy, elegant, and memorable holiday outing!“

“As a bakery owner in another state, I was very impressed with Pietro’s! Everything we tried was amazing! I’m Italian so brought back a lot of memories! Well done!“

“have been here 3 times now and it gets better every time!“

“Great food. great service. Eat here everytime we come to Alabama from Texas.“

“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!!“

“Amazing food cocktails and service!!“

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

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

“This place is amazing! The tea and boba are delicious, and every drink is freshly made to order! I personally love their Thai tea and Vietnamese iced coffee. Their summer Brazilian lemonade is also amazing! The staff is super friendly and provide fast service as well. 5/5 stars, highly recommend!“

“Jack was our waiter today! Fantastic service!“

“Best bagels that I have ever tasted in my life!!! 🥯“

“Stumbled upon this place and it is the cutest retro cafe. Everyone was friendly, lively and the prices were great. If you’re wanting more of a homemade kinda meal, this is the place 😋“

“Absolutely amazing sandwiches!! Super fresh ingredients.“

“Great food, friendly service.“

“Solid coffee and a great selection of food options in the take out area of Central Market. The space is well-equipped with plenty of outlets, and most CM workers are friendly and go above and beyond. It's a great spot to focus and get work done.

One area for improvement: some café staff can come across as overly corrective during ordering, which may discourage trying new items. A bit more patience and guidance would go a long way.“

“It first time in beery goot placing of the eating of food. I enjoy all of de menu and get perhaps one of de each one egg and de botatoe snacking crumblies. Some of suggesting could be the American gyro sandwich but gifting all of the 5 star and a third holy moon. Many toombas and geezstas.“

“The toppings need to more evenly distributed. This is my 3rd time ordering, and each time the toppings are “clumped” and not evenly distributed. I always order The KING. This is an educational issue and application of ingredients for an even distribution must be employed. Thanks“

“This was a great place to eat! We tried it yesterday, during our trip, and were throughly pleased with it all. The restaurant looks great, service was fast, and the food was delicious. I’d recommend this to others.“
