My daughter recommended this place, and I'm so glad she did! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by Ms. Jay, whose friendly smile and genuine hospitality made us feel right at home. We ordered a hot Matcha Latte with milk ($5.00), a hot Chai Tea Latte ($4.75), and a hot Drip Coffee ($4.00). To satisfy our sweet tooth, we shared a delicious Pineapple Upside-Down Cupcake ($4.50) and a Honey Granola Almond Bar. The Matcha Latte was smooth, rich, and full of flavor. The Chai Tea Latte was absolutely delicious, and my drip coffee was fresh, hot, and just what I was hoping for. Everything we tried was wonderful. Since this cozy café is so close to home, I'll definitely be stopping by more often. If you're looking for a relaxing place to enjoy a great cup of coffee and a tasty pastry, I highly recommend Pinch of Salt Pastries & Coffee. I hope to see you there!

The space is bright and full of plants, and they also have some cute things for sale. I almost left with one of their aprons! I tried the banana matcha latte and the pineapple upside-down cupcake. The latte was good, but I would've liked a little more matcha flavor. The cupcake was light and fluffy, and I honestly wouldn't have guessed it was gluten-free. The frosting wasn't my favorite, but the cake itself was delicious. I stayed for a couple of hours catching up with a friend and journaling. The staff was friendly, kept everything clean, and made sure the self-serve water station stayed full. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area.

"no" and stares. overall it was still a good experience and i will be back to give them another chance on the service because the cheesecake was very yummy.

Drizzle Cheesecake is a dessert/coffee shop located in the Toyota Music Factory. Drizzle exploded…read moreonto the scene at the St. Fair of Texas, and this is the brick-and-mortar version that serves fantastic coffee along with it's creative cheesecakes. It's been while since I made it back to visit, and this was only for coffee. My Overall Rating - 3 1/2 Stars (Atmosphere, Food, Return) Atmosphere - My visit was during August (super-hot in Texas). The inside was uncomfortably warm. The space is an assortment of comfortable and inviting seating. Luckly for me, I was able to grab a table right when someone left. Very cool vibes, just so dang hot. Muggy vibes. 1/2 Star. Service - Only one person was working. Luckily for me, there wasn't a line, but I did have to wait while the barista made someone's coffee. While the inside of Drizzle is cool and welcome, I didn't get the same vibe from the one staff member. Weird vibes. No Stars. Food - Good thing he made an excellent coffee. I ordered an Iced Macchiato, and I have to say it was one of the best drinks I've had. The staff asked if I wanted caramel (yes!) and proceeded to take time to expertly craft my drink. The espresso shot gave me the kick I wanted, and the caramel sweetened ice-cold milk helped it go down smoothly. Awesome vibes. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes! The cheesecakes can be very indulgent, but don't sleep on the coffee. In fact, the next time I visit TMF I am definitely ordering a coffee to go. Return vibes. 1 Star.

Shin's Donuts is a longstanding donut shop in north Irving that is so good it has withstood the…read moretest of time. It's been 11 years! since my original review of Shin's. Not only are they still in business, but they're also better than ever. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Shin's Donuts looks like any other shopping strip donut shop. Good news is there is plenty of parking, and the interior has been updated with glass cases showcasing their baked goods. Take a peek through the door and you can see the busy kitchen. On busy weekend mornings expect a line. 1 Star. Service - This family-owned small business has been here as long as I've lived in Irving. The employees are kind, patient, and will ask you if you want your baked goods warmed up. Coffee is self-serve, but if you're not here for coffee. 1 Star. Food - Shin's Donuts is the epitome of the saying "Not all donut shops are the same". While the word Donut is in the title, my favorite item is the sausage roll. On my most recent visit, I ordered my roll wrapped in a croissant dough. The buttery roll is an upgrade from the original sausage roll. It was soft and warm (next time I'll put it in the toaster oven) and quickly disappeared once my kids discovered them. And while Shin's has plenty of donut types, I only need a glazed donut. Shin's glazed donut is soft, airy, and never dries out. It's perfect when I dunk it in black coffee. Bonus - the staff always gives me a bag of donut holes to go. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. While it took me 11 years to update my review. I've probably been back to Shin's over a dozen times. Not only have I been back, but I will also drive out of my way past a dozen other donut shops just to get to Shin's. 1 Star.

Not only was the food impressive, but the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. We had the the salmon avocado toast and the Acai bowl and bowl were so fresh and delicious. Loved the addition of the tater tots to the avocado toast and it was a filling and healthy way to start. For the main event, we then got the Earl Grey Chiffon cake and it was incredibly moist and flavorful while being light and not too sweet. The staff at the counter were very accommodating for our large group. There's a good amount of small tables and seating and there was a nice semi-separate area in the back they had a single, large table with enough seating for roughly 8. The staff brought out everything to us after ordering, and also were very helpful with some special instructions on bringing the cake after we had finished eating. They even provided candles and a cake cutter along with plates and plastic cutlery. Overall, was very pleased with our visit and we'll definitely be back to the more pastries and coffee!
