I came for the coffee, but oh that display of homemade bakery items had me drooling! I had the Turkish Coffee which was a complete experience. The barista talked me through the process of making the coffee, as he was rolling the small, long-handled coffee pot in warm sand, to ensure even heat distribution and to create a foam. The coffee was served in traditional fashion using gorgeous serviceware that consisted of a long-stemmed coffee pot, a small demitasse-type cup, a covered dish with a small sweet item (in my case a small cookie), and water for cleansing the palate. I was worried that the coffee would be too strong for my taste, but it was not strong at all and had a much different taste than espresso. It was deliciously full-bodied and satisfying. The cafe was spotlessly clean with a warm and relaxing vibe with many tables. I especially enjoyed the wall of famous people and events from Middle Eastern countries. Ample street-side parking is available on area streets.

In Clifton, a neighborhood flooded with coffee shops, Café Shiraz stands out…read more I visited the small coffee shop on Brownsboro Road today for the first time, and among a loaded menu full of lots of food and drinks, there were a couple real standouts that will have me coming back. First: the Turkish coffee. This was served traditionally (as best I can tell), in beautiful servingware with a coffee pot, small mug and cup of water to drink to cleanse the palate. My friend's tea was served in a tea press which I liked as well. Cafe Shiraz also boasted a well stocked case of pastries. I enjoyed a pastry stuffed with chorizo. Cafe Shiraz had many indoor tables. It was a perfect place to chat. Such a great coffee spot all the way around.

Went to Wiltshire Bakery during Sunday brunch and it was pretty busy with a decent line but it…read moredidn't take too long to order. Food took a bit to come out though maybe 15 min. Got the lox on a sourdough bagel. The bagel itself is big and pretty doughy, which I liked. They load it up with sweet pickled onions.... honestly too much, it kind of buries the salmon. And there's not a ton of lox to begin with. This isn't a loaded NYC lox bagel, you get one slice a side. What's there was a bit not sure about how they cure the salmon here. Still good overall, just not balanced. $14 feels a bit high for what you get. Tried the ham and cheddar quiche too. Nice and creamy, good flavor, slight smokiness. Solid, but really small for $10. Like a tiny slice of pie. Comes with a small fruit bowl but come on. The spanakopita croissant was probably the best thing I had. Good size, flaky, buttery, nice spinach and cheese flavor. Definitely should be warmed up for max yum factor, but for $5.50 it's a great deal. Overall, ok spot. Brunch spots know they can just charge anything and people keep going.

The only complaint for me was the waffle being overly sweet for me, but with the tart strawberries it balances out just fine so nothing to cry about.

Services was great, welcoming, helpful, they answered all the questions I had and the ambiance was very open with plenty of seatings, this place is kept very clean.

This is not a place we regularly visit, although maybe we should. Our experiences have always been great and have no complaints during all of our visits. It is a nice quaint little place just off Grinstead Drive. The space here is decent and seating can be limited depending how busy they are. It's like being in someone else's home while feeling at home at the same time. They have seasonal menus like most local coffee shops do. I love their winter drinks where you get a small butter cookie and you can dunk it in the drink. Staff is always wonderful here and welcoming. We do love Fante's and plan to come back again, maybe not wait a year at a time.

This coffee shop is so stinking cute. They have coffees, smoothies, scrumptious looking baked goods and so much more. The baristas were so friendly and the vibe was just spot on for me. They had the best decor. You could tell they take pride in their coffee roasting. The place smelled amazing before you even walked in the door. I did purchase some Mexican coffee beans and the barista was so sweet asking me if I needed any information about the different kinds of bean. If it hadn't been closing time, I probably would've. I hated to keep them any longer than we already had. I got a vanilla latte and my friend got a smoothie with whipped cream. My vanilla latte was amazing. And I will admit I did have to open up my bag of coffee beans and grind a cup up and it was so so delicious. So the moral of the story is people don't pass by this place stop walk and get a phenomenal coffee and whatever you want and I promise you, you will not be disappointed. Don't let this place pass you by like I did.
