Best Gelato in DFW? Just might be! The Gelato here is absolutely outstanding! So incredibly creamy and absolutely packed with flavor. We tried the Lemon, Cantaloupe, Cookie Caramel, and Cookies and Cream. You sincerely cannot go wrong! The gelato is stored in machines that keep it rotating for maximum flavor and a velvety texture. The staff behind the counter also is more than top notch. You can feel their passion for the Gelato here and their enthusiasm is contagious. Awesome people! The restaurant is very attractive with plenty of comfortable seating. I am already planning my return trip, highly reccommended! read more

This cute coffee shop in downtown Plano serves up fresh croissants and other baked goods. The smell of freshly baked croissants always entices me to order one on every single visit. When I bring my sons, they eagerly await their croissants, which arrive hot and fresh from the oven. They also enjoy having their pictures printed on top of their lattes, which helps to tell their lattes apart. The shop's creamy gelato is another tasty addition to the menu that is truly enjoyed by my boys. The service at this coffee shop is nothing short of exceptional. The cashier and barista are always welcoming and polite, ensuring that each customer feels valued and appreciated. When time permits, they take the time to greet each person and inquire about their day, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The interior has a modern Italian café vibe going for it. The large dining area can easily accommodate individuals and larger groups. The dining area is always spotless and well-organized. I definitely recommend you try this cozy little spot. You won't be disappointed! read more

Vibe, 5 stars Cappuccino, 5 stars , Affogatto 5 stars . Service was also friendly. Quite a drive from my home but I would do the drive because of "all of the above". They also do cute pic for your coffee latte drink, for free. This is My new happy place. Next time we will try their gelato. read more

This is gelato done right. They make the gelato infront of you. The chocolate was very rich and right amount of sweet. Mango sorbet was also good. They have picture latte art that you can put your pet on. I will have to try it next time. read more

Pappalecco - Rich and delicious - Cafes Near Me - Plano, Texas

Leave it to Mike B. to find the coolest cafe in Texas. Pappalecco is beautifully decorated. The service is excellent. Their baked goods are out of this world. But, my favorite thing about Pappalecco was their machine that you can upload a photo and it designs that photo on the top of your latte, and it is fantastic. The photo came out perfectly. The latte was delicious. My grandchildren enjoyed their blueberry muffins. But, we were all loving our photo likeness on our coffees. Don't miss this cafe if you are close to Plano. I can't wait to go back and it is family approved. The s'mores cookie is to die for! read more

I visited Pappalecco with a friend for Mother's Day to try printing a picture of me and my fur-baby photo on the coffee, which was so fun. I ordered the Lucky Latte, liked the lavender flavor, just a bit too spicy for me. Service was great, plenty of seating, and really nice décor. I'd come back to try the ice cream next time. read more

This is a cute cafe in Downtown Plano. I went here to try their gelato. I ended up getting a coppetta (cup) of gelato, which comes with two flavors. I got the cookie caramel & tiramisu. It was so creamy & good. I'm definitely come back here to try their other flavors. The service here was excellent. I was greeted when I entered the cafe & got to try as many flavors as I liked. read more

Pappalecco - Cafes Near Me - Plano, Texas

I wish I could give this place 20 stars. Stunning urban jungle type feel. Varied seating for studiers and family. Perfect walkable location for those stopping by downtown Plano. Gelato, pastries, snack items and espresso on menu. What sets this place apart is the above and beyond customer service. Obviously the amazing design printer is what pulls at the heart strings, but the staff really could've just left it at that. My 2018 android that has been having space issues was not able to connect to the printer. The owner/main staff on duty was sooo patient. He stood with me and didn't give up getting the printer to work even when I did! We got it to work (nothing wrong with the printer it was really just my phone) and that machine was fascinating to watch. The print quality is unreal. The latte itself was maybe a tad bit more milk and a smokier roast that my preference but again it was a totally solid, resonably priced latte at $5.50 which included the print! The print i think is just powdered coffee! The pictures and video speak for themselves. What an experience! read more

Very warm, cozy and elegant gelato/coffee shop in downtown Plano. Love the variety of flavors they offer with their gelato and the art work they can add in your latte, it was so cute!! Service was very helpful when choosing which gelato flavor you want to have. I've tasted all the flavors they had for that day but settled with a scoop of pistachio gelato. You know it is authentic when the gelatos didn't have high coloring on them. It looks natural and you can tell from the taste. Very high quality. Definitely coming back for their coffees and sandwiches. read more

Pappalecco - Cafes Near Me - Plano, Texas

Tried out this viral coffeeshop on instagram today with a friend of mine. I ordered the lucky latter and tried out their printer to upload a photo of myself and my dog for Mother's Day. The coffeeshop is beautifully designed inside with multiple seating options inside. They have wide variety of coffee and desserts in the store. The coffee tasted amazing in flavor and the picture quality printed on my coffee was great. The service was ok in my opinion as the individual that assisted me was not well-versed at providing recommendations for types of milk to choose but other than that I would highly recommend this location. read more

Probably a 3.5. Massive menu with coffee, gelato, paninis. Something for everybody. lots of good gelato flavors like tiramisu, pistachio, etc. I think they get a lot of stuff from Italy. Downtown plano with decent parking in nearby lots. The 'large' gelato is $7.50 and described as 3 scoops and I would not describe this as large at all. I thought it was going to be giant scoops. It was more like a medium ish cup. The gelato was good. Very smooth. Got the affogato $9. Pick the gelato flavor. This is the first time that I've had one and I was like ?? It was literally the gelato and they added the espresso to it. This is SUPER simple and this is $9? Was I missing something? Not worth it in my opinion.... I'm not sure how they will do to be honest. I think people will go, but I don't know... read more

Cute little gelato shop tucked in the corner of one of the apartment buildings. Greta variety of pastries and they make their own gelato in house. It's nice to see churning barrels of gelato on display. They also serve sandwiches, paninis and interesting coffee. The best part is they can do realistic latte art with the help of their fancy art machine for FREE!! Excited to comeback for coffee next time. read more

My new favorite local coffee shop! Went here twice recently and really enjoyed both times. First time was for coffee and second time for gelato.

The gelato was delicious, definitely reminded me of Italy. read more

There is hope. Finally a real gelato in the USA and I cannot thank the Pappalecco family enough for what they bring to this country. Delicious is a word that simply does not do it justice. Calling the service great falls short of what you actually experience the moment you walk in. What you get is genuine care and real love poured into every single interaction with their team. The attention is superb and the warmth is not performative; it is the real thing imported straight from Italy. God bless these people for the joy they give their clients every single day. Long live Pappalecco. If you do not know them yet, Google it. You are welcome. read more

Nice coffee shop which is open late in downtown Plano. The coffee was just right and the graphic machine that puts the message or photo on the coffee was interesting as well. The highlight might have been the macadamia coconut cookie which was served warm read more

Pappalecco - Latte is on point. Their croissants are fresh and delicious. Almost all the way flakey. - Cafes Near Me - Plano, Texas

Came during opening day to take advantage of the 50% off special. Of course it was very busy, but very pleasant. The owner of the concept Francisco waited on us and was very friendly, while the franchise owner was outside and greeted my Mom who was waiting in the car and thanked her for being so patient. We had gelato and it was delicious. The pastries, salads, and sandwiches also looked amazing! We will be back! read more

Amazing place for studying or socializing it truly feels like a little piece of Italy. The coffee and food are outstanding. I usually get a latte and the Caprese with added avocado, and it's hands down the best pesto panini I've had in DFW. The servers are top-notch with their recommendations and always create a warm, welcoming environment. The owner is also frequently there, making sure everything runs smoothly and that every customer is happy. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Went during 50% off grand opening weekend, they were busy , seemed overwhelmed and ill prepared, tables were sitting there dirty for 10+ minutes, we cleaned it ourselves, sat & waited for our food for over 30 minutes, just for it to come out with my salmon avocado smash without the salmon, overcooked "poach" egg (as seen in photo), cold cookie that was supposed to have been warmed, and a stale croissant, when we brought up the missing salmon with the staff the response from her was "did you want me to take it back?", was a little taken aback since it wasn't our fault our order was missing, I kindly asked/instructed her to just provide us with the salmon that we'd ordered. If it were only the service lacking as they've just opened, I would understand, but unfortunately the food was a big fail for us that day. read more

From the moment you walk in, you feel the warmth. The decor is stunning, modern, and upscale, and the menu is packed with incredible options.

They are genuinely kind, welcoming, and already greet me by name every time I walk in. It makes you feel like more than just a customer. The owners were also walking around, personally thanking guests for supporting their new business, which was such a wonderful touch.

Pappalecco - Upload a photo for a latte topper. Nutella latte was delish! - Cafes Near Me - Plano, Texas

Such a wonderful café experience! The space itself is beautifully designed and feels so fresh and inviting, and the food was just as impressive, everything made to order and incredibly fresh. You can even see the gelato being made in-house, which is such a fun touch. What truly made this place stand out, though, was how genuinely kind and friendly the team was. From the moment we walked in, they were warm, welcoming, and so attentive. While we were waiting for our food, they offered us gelato samples just to be nice, which felt so thoughtful and above-and-beyond. It's rare to find a spot where the service feels that sincere. Great food, a gorgeous space, and some of the friendliest people you'll meet. Can't wait to come back! read more

Absolutely worst service. Myself and 2 colleagues stopped by to check it out while taking a quick break, we work down town. We stood at the front counter for ten minutes with 4 workers present and not one person acknowledged us. There were 2 customers placing an order with one staff member, and three others were what appeared to be cleaning. Two of the staff members walked to the back and another came to the front and still did not say a word to us. We finally just left. So disappointed and will not be back. They will need to change their customer service strategy if they are going to make it here in the downtown area. I would not recommend this place. read more

First timer and I will be back!!! Coffee is absolutely delicious. We purchased some chocolate chip cookies (they were warm and so good!), the gelato is so fresh!! We tried hazelnut, chocolate and strawberry. I can't decide which was my favorite but they were all absolutely delicious! My husband had a blueberry muffin, super soft and as he said "yummy tasting!" What a gem we found. The people are super friendly. We will be back! It's quite spacious inside as well. read more

Food was absolutely delicious and well-made. Has a very relaxing ambience, could easily see myself hanging out here with a friend or getting work done for hours here. But the highlight to me beyond all of that was the excellent service. Some great recommendations were given by the girl that took my order, and, despite not having been here before, I was not lost at all thanks to her expertise and assistance. Will be absolutely coming back in the near future and will totally be bringing others to come try it out! read more
