Cafe Duro is a must when visiting the Lower Greenville area!…read more I recently visited this amazing European-style café during breakfast on a weekday and it was amazing. Please note that parking in this area is particularly difficult but if you come in the morning, it should be easier to find. Another thing worth nothing is that they are more of a quick standing coffee bar type of place and I definitely wouldn't recommend it for families or kids, so keep that in mind when visiting. Now to the food... They have a small but mighty menu for breakfast and lunch. For my first time I decided to try their The Monte Duro, which is a pastry style "hot pocket" with smoked prosciutto, mortadella, mustard and jam. For drink I decided to go with their Dirty Chai Latte. The drink was absolutely perfection and exactly what I needed in a warm Texas morning. The Monte Duro was cooked to perfection and packed with flavor! Both my friend and I ordered the same thing and we were both obsessed with it.

Such a cute place! Love all the little details, from the…read moreflooring to the decor throughout the space. Everyone in my group loved their drink orders and the breakfast sandwiches had a good depth of flavor thanks to the quality meat and delicious sauce! My only reason for not giving a 5 star is that there is no seating, so don't plan to enjoy your delicious treat there. You might have to take it to go. Can't wait to go back!

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.

I absolutely fell in LOVE with this coffee shop in the city!…read more My friend and I decided that after lunch we would find a nice coffee shop to sit and enjoy the rest of our work day! We were on the hunt for a place that had a lot of seating, a good coffee menu and also sold pastries, and Otto's checked off all the boxes! I always say that when you are able to find front parking, also, you are exactly where you are meant to be, and somehow some way, we found just that! We both ended up ordering their wedding cake latte, that we later found out that changes colors based on whatever wedding they are hosting in the hotel they are located in. HOW COOL! The latte was FANTASTIC! I love when a coffee shop serves it in glass when you are deciding to sit for a bit! It felt so welcoming! I also decided to order their pound cake which was FANTASTIC! SO moist and perfect with my latte! However, the true star of the show has to be the ambiance! It's located in downtown in the Adolphus hotel and it is STUNNING inside! You truly get a city coffee shop experience at OTTO's! They had plenty of chairs and tables, as well as plugs! Which made our visit that much more great! Overall, I highly recommend it, and I will definately be back!

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.

I love coffee shops that make you want to start dating it, move in, and never leave. Good Boy…read moreCoffee does that. They have some magic in this cute coffee place/retail shop. It's so cozy. The music is always the best music in the background. You could easily chill listening to it, get some work done, or pick up pieces of others' conversations. It's easy to drown out the noise here. Most importantly the coffee is fantastic. The lavender latte might be made of unicorn tears. It's the best I have ever had. I tried one of their cookies on my last visit and it was sinfully delicious. Kind of melty without being warned. Amazing. Stay long enough to check out the little shop attached. Some fun finds.

Ordered a strawberry matcha with coconut milk and honey, kimchi fried rice with bulgogi and the…read morebreakfast hash. Strawberry matcha was delicious but should've asked for less ice. The strawberry puree had larger chunks of strawberry which was tasty but you need the larger boba straw for it. The kimchi fried rice was probably some of the best I've had. So flavorful, not too spicy and the bulgogi added the perfect sweetness. To add the bulgogi was +$6 which I thought was a little steep and I wasn't given a lot. But even for that high price tag, I'd order again. The breakfast hash had a very flavorful brown sauce that was addicting. But wouldn't order again. Service is minimal but good. And the girl helping us at the register was sweet and patient. There were enough tables and it was cute and relaxed inside. Would come again for that kimchi rice but I do feel like overall, a pretty expensive experience.

Great coffee shop with a nice hang-out space, cheerful baristas, and good food…read more Lots of milk options, too. We had the avocado toast with the pickled onions - a great addition with lots of toppings. Also, I love that they have for-here cups and work to minimize plastic waste.

Happened to be in Uptown and stumbled across this (new to me) coffee shop…read more I loved it! Clean, modern, industrial, this place had great vibes. Big picture windows would be great for people watching. Comfy booths provide an inviting space to work. They have a coconut latte, so of course I tried it! It was delicious with just the right amount of sugary smoothness. It was a blazing hot day so I got it iced and it was a refreshing treat.

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.

One thing I wish about my experience at Cafe Frida is that I HAD IT SOONER! 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!

Foxtrot is a cute grocery store / coffee shop nestled just north of the Knox/Henderson area, close…read moreto SMU. They offer various products you wouldn't necessarily find in your chain grocery store, but rather things you'd find in a local market or Trader Joe's. The items can be on the pricier side, but the selection is fantastic. I ordered from their cafe menu the following: -Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte (featuring strawberry puree and simple syrup over milk of choice) -Smoked Salmon Avocado Toast ($14.50, either this or a house) Overall the food and drinks were good, but I would say the price is a bit high for the quality and you can probably find the same/equivalent matcha and avocado toast at La La land for cheaper. However, the inside of the cafe has a nice ambience, and I would definitely bring my laptop or book to work/read during the day sometime. I'd also like to try the iced pistachio cream top matcha next time.

I've heard so many great things about Foxtrot, so I decided to finally give it a try. I ordered an…read moreiced apple cider chai, which was fun and different for the fall season. The apple cider flavor overpowered the chai, but it was still enjoyable nonetheless. I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon to read my book, and the atmosphere was lively but not too loud. There were plenty of people coming and going, and there were some working. The place is bright and spacious with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, along with a large group table in the back. Parking was tricky. There's a garage, but the gate wasn't working when I came. I was thankfully able to snag a parking spot next door, but it was really packed since the parking is shared with nearby stores and restaurants. Overall, I enjoyed my first visit here and would come back to try out a different drink next time!

No hello, no I'll be with you, not a wave, or even a we are busy so wait. I stood there hoping that accidental eye contact with anyone on the other side of the counter would lead me in the direction of a beverage. I did work in Italy for 2 months and I know they mean business at the coffee shops there. I guess you could say I had an authentic experience at Palmieri Cafe. The coffee was great. The price was exactly what I expected. The service was less than great. I probably looked like the guy that needed to be ignored that morning. What can I say I needed coffee. I would go back but there are many other coffee stops I need to visit.

The vibe is exactly what I like quiet, relaxed, and perfect if you need to sit down and get some work done or just reset for a bit. The staff was super friendly and welcoming which always makes the experience better. I'm not really a coffee girl, so I ordered a matcha with almond milk and it was really good smooth, not too strong, and made just right. I also grabbed a muffin and I wish I remembered the name because it was delicious. I only stayed for about an hour, but I'll definitely be back. If you're in the area and looking for a low key spot with good drinks and a chill atmosphere, this is a great place to check out.
