    Macchiato
    Harsha S.

    I was driving around as I saw this small bakery & cafe. I noticed it was relatively new. I went there a little bit after lunch around 1 PM. The cafe was pretty packed when I arrived there. I was greeted as soon as I entered and asked if I needed any help. I noticed that there was a gelato station in addition to the bakery and general cafe items. The cakes here reminded me of what I usually see at Asian bakeries. I ended up grabbing a Macchiato and Coffee Cake. I was handed a number and grabbed at an empty seat a table. The coffee + cake came out about 5 minutes after I ordered. Not sure I've ever had this kind of coffee before, but it was quite strong. The coffee cake had 3 layers of cake and then a tiny layer of coffee/vanilla buttercream between each one. Each of the cake layers were like a spongy texture. The bottom layer of the cake seemed like it was either soaked in coffee or espresso. The top two layers didn't seem like they had been soaked, but from what I could taste, they definitely had drops of coffee added. On the top of the cake, they had a thicker layer of coffee buttercream with chocolate. The cake wasn't overtly sweet and definitely had the coffee taste throughout the cake. I also noticed people near me eating injera and curry so that would be worth trying if I revisited. I would like to go back at a later time and try the gelato! The prices were reasonable and the quality of the food seemed good.

    I was looking for a new coffee shop when I stumbled across Moderena in a derelict, half-empty mini-mall in Richardson. This place definitely feels more like a diner, with booths and tables, and more like a pastry shop with an impressive selection of cakes and treats. There's a breakfast menu which features vague offerings such as a "full breakfast" and "scrumbled eggs" I tried a latte which was rich and very, very foamy. I also treated myself to a flaky sweet profiterole.

    Beautiful ambiance, kind customer service, and delicious food and deserts here at Moderena! The owner is from Eritrea (East Africa) and makes incredible Italian inspired cappuccinos and pastries. The fuul here is delicious. Give them a try for a wonderful cafe experience.

    Since I happened to be in Dallas early in the morning, this was the perfect stop as they open…read moreearly. The decor inside looked super cute, but I was in a rush to get to work, so I used the drive thru instead. They have a private parking lot. Besides having coffee and tea, they also sell breakfast all day. I had the sausage, egg, green chile, and cheese burrito - not the best burrito I've ever had, but tastes way better if you add the salsa. It's a quick way to get your protein fix in. I enjoyed my iced Mexican mocha; it wasn't too sweet or creamy. If I lived closer by, I wouldn't mind getting this more routinely. Oh, their service was surprisingly fast and efficient. They even gave me a free sticker from their sticker day. I'll definitely be back when I'm in town.

    This coffee was really good! I got the iced caramel truffle with sweet cold foam on top and it was…read moregood! Not to sweet and not to strong! They do a free coffee for your birthday through the app too which is the best!! Especially since they don't make you redeem it the day of! The inside is nice, my one critique is that the mobile order pick up is at the same place at the register so if your picking up a mobile order the baristas don't realize you aren't in line to order. I don't like to be that person that shoves in front of others so I waited it out until there was a good opening but it could be more efficient if it's in another location :) The inside is nice and clean with lots of space! Will be back!
