Oh my!…read more I rarely find myself in the Garland area, so when I began taking some pilates classes nearby, I knew I needed to find all the cute local gems! Cafe Frida being one of them! Not only is this cafe so cozy and comfortable, there is plenty of space to sit! It would absolutely be perfect for anyone looking for a good working from home location as they also have plenty of outlets! And the service! Oh my, the girls at the front have been so sweet and kind! They often make conversation while also helping choose the best options on the menu! Now for the good stuff! The Menu! I have yet to try any of their food options, but I have had a chance to try both their iced and hot lattes! I can confidently say that Cafe Frida knows what they are doing when it comes to a good cup of caffeine! Sometimes, especially when ordering something with a bit more sweetness, coffee or espresso can lose it's taste, and as someone who craves the taste of coffee and espresso, Cafe Frida def makes sure all flavors are balanced! I just love when a coffee isn't overtaken by so many different flavors! I already cannot wait to go back! I attend pilates on Wednesday's, so they will def be seeing me again!

This quaint and lovely cafe in Garland is adorable. The staff was so friendly and accommodating as…read moreI asked questions during my visit for the first time. From what I recall, all of their matchas are made with oat milk. I'm not sure if that's necessarily a good thing. My classic matcha latte was just okay but I want to give their iced coffees a try. I also tried the avocado toast which was delicious. Can't wait to come back and bring my laptop to hand here for a couple of hours.

This time it was so fresh and flavorful and not too moist, crust wasn't tough - it was delicious!! So sad that I didn't remember to take a photo before I gobbled it up! My bestie ordered a blueberry muffin, then later a croissant sandwich. I didn't try them, but she loved them both. I ordered a latte and it was so good that I returned for another. We enjoyed our visit, people-watching and catching up. The place was very clean although small but most customers seemed regulars and just walked up with their dogs and/or kids and left, so mostly live close-by, it seemed. How nice to take a short stroll to retrieve a delicious treat. Can't wait to visit here again!

We were looking for pastries to bring home for dessert and we discovered Village Baking…read more You could just smell the love as you walked through the door. There was a huge assortment of danish, butterfly cookies, and a variety of other baked goods. We debated about which ones to buy and picked out our favorites. They were delicious and freshly made. Service was great and they were very patient as we tried to make up our mind on which pastries we were going to buy. Prices were average for what you would expect for a homemade pastry shop. The shop had a comfy feel with cute tables and posters on the wall. We would definitely go back for more baked goods.Yum!

Tried the banana cloud matcha with 2 shots of matcha. Tasted great! Matcha isn't as strong as I like but the banana flavor adds a subtle sweetness. I did see the baristas pouring the matcha, it looked to be batched in glass bottles already - which is interesting - not bad interesting but just something I've never seen before. Kudos for the cutie cups! I almost want to keep it! Haha.

We came here for the first time and ended up coming back a second time, which should tell you…read moresomething. Beautiful location, very nice seating outside, great atmosphere. Everybody is very friendly and the place is usually very clean. Service is great. Food is genuinely delicious. First visit I had a mushroom sauce and beef crepe and my husband had a croissant waffle. Both very good. Second time I had a smoked salmon crepe, which was incredible. It also comes with a side salad that was equally delicious. They have a vegan batter option which was actually very tasty, not something you expect. My husband had something breakfast-y the second time around, also great. The cappuccino comes with a little Eiffel Tower on it which is a cute touch. Only complaint from the first visit was finding a hair in my cappuccino. I genuinely don't know how you get a hair inside a cappuccino but there it was. We sent it back and they rectified the situation very quickly, so kudos for that. They have a couple of vegan options and alternative milks, not a huge selection but it's there. We would come back. No real complaints. P.S. My ratings are based on whether I believe I could make a better or healthier version at home. If food/drinks/service impress me, I'll be happy to come back. If not, the stars reflect that.

We came here for breakfast while staying downtown, walkable from the hotel which was a big plus. I…read morewould not recommend driving here, parking is a nightmare. Walk if you can. Coffee was decent, nothing to rave about. My cappuccino was served in a paper cup which I was not thrilled about. We were eating inside, not taking anything to go, so there was no reason for that. Paper cups influence the flavor of a hot espresso and I drink mine with no sweeteners specifically because I want to taste the actual shot. The espresso was also slightly burnt, which tells me the machine needs a good cleaning. Iced coffee is a different story but for hot cappuccinos, ceramic makes a real difference. My husband's coffee was good though and he was happy with his. Breakfast sandwiches were the toaster style, similar to what you'd expect from a place without a full kitchen. I genuinely enjoyed mine. My husband was not impressed by his. Overall it was a good enough time. We would not go out of our way to come back but if we were in the downtown area and needed a reliable spot in a pinch, we would stop in again. P.S. My ratings are based on whether I believe I could make a better or healthier version at home. If food/drinks/service impress me, I'll be happy to come back. If not, the stars reflect that.

This morning before work, I stopped by while the shop was listed as open, but there wasn't a single employee in the store. I looked around, called out, and even tried calling the shop while I was inside, but no one answered. I ended up leaving without the coffee I came for. I hope this was just a one-time mistake, but I'd encourage the owners to make sure someone is in the store whenever it's open for both customer service and security, especially with all the vintage items inside.

I visited this restaraunt for the first time and genuinely enjoyed everything I ordered. Starting off with appetizers, my friend and I ordered the pan shared halloumi cheese. This is paired with tomatoes and fig jam and is a wonderful accompaniment to the complimentary bread and olives served for the table. I'm a big fan of halloumi in general but this one was particularly cooked well and a must order for next time. For main entree I ordered Hunkar Begendi, which is sautéed marinated lamb tenderloin with red and green bell peppers over creamy eggplant puree. The lamb was in fact tender and perfectly seasoned and the eggplant puree went very well with the slight gaminess of the meat. I enjoyed this dish overall and it didn't feel too heavy, which sometimes is the case when I eat lamb. The pieces of meat were cut small enough while not being super tough, which I appreciated. I would definitely recommend this restaraunt if you enjoy trying Mediterranean fusion spots!

Great food and very tasty dishes. Our waitress was friendly and attentive as well…read more The only issue was with the service flow. When we arrived, the hostess was away from the stand for about 5-10 minutes, leaving us and another party unsure of what to do. It also took quite a while for our order to be taken and then for the food to arrive after ordering. If those service and organizational issues were addressed, this would easily be a 5-star experience.
