40 Best Cafes near Little Elm

“Stopped for a late breakfast ?Food, service and atmosphere are excellent. Sunny Street Cafe is a wonderful mixture of old school cafe with a modern twist.Everything is super clean and tidy as well.Stop in and you can even sit outside when the weather is good.Also good to know! They have catering, which I will use for some company events.“

“Went in for the first time today to get a latte. It was honestly one of the best lattes I’ve ever had in my entire life. The staff was so nice and it felt really warm and welcoming in there. They were so nice and the music that was playing was absolutely superior!!!!!!!! The place itself is so cute and the espresso was perfect. Wasn’t even a little bit burnt! I used to work at a coffee shop so I’m pretty familiar with how coffee is and isn’t supposed to be and BRO THIS WAS PERFECT. Plus they arnt Starbucks! (Don’t support them yall!!!!! ?). It was also shockingly cheap for how yummy it was. I’m definitely going to be going there a lot more often!!! ??“

“What a lovely little place that offers such great service, wonderful coffee, and delicious doughnuts! We stopped in before the eclipse madness and took our goodies home. The crème brûlée doughnut, apple fritter, pistachio matcha, and fig mascarpone were all fantastic!! If I lived in Dallas I would be fatter than already am since I would stop here at least weekly. My dad got an espresso, daughter got an iced golden lavender latte, and I got an iced caramel macchiato—all excellent.“

“I’ve been to this location several times, and I’m always impressed by their food as well as service. Today my server, Kirsten, did a wonderful job answering questions, anticipating needs and was extremely friendly. As I was a table of one, I had slightly anticipated feeling rushed, but that never happened. I’ve mostly been here in the past with four kids, and still, impeccable service. I highly recommend for an enjoyable breakfast or lunch!Kid-friendliness: They have an outside playground for the kiddos just off the patio so parents can watch while eating.“

“I love this bakery. It is also a restaurant that's serves amazing Italian food. The location is great and the restaurant is clean and stylish. I ordered the Rigatoni Allá Vodka with meatballs and it was so good! It came with fresh bread that was so good. I also ordered a Chocolate Chip Cannoli and it also was very good. Service was nice and friendly. I will definitely be back!“

“I had a delightful time visiting this tea room! First off, the hostess treated us to a delightful tea tasting with absolutely delicious blends that complimented our meal well. Speaking of the meal, I can't recommend it enough! The quiche was light and airy, and wonderfully fluffy! I also got an in the garden salad, which went well with the rest of the meal.And goodness, I got a peanut butter icebox pie for dessert and it was amazing! It was the perfect blend of cool and creamy, I'd buy a whole pie if I could! And the cinnamon loaf is equally delicious, soft and warm, but not cloying sweet like some cinnamon desserts can get. It was absolutely wonderful, and if I'm in the area again I'd love to pay a visit! (By the way, I did get vegetarian options while I was here, there was no trouble at all to order).“

“WHAT A HIDDEN GEM!! Cafe 146 has amazing coffee and food. The service is AMAZING! The owner, Miss Sunny, and her daughters took care of us so well!It’s just by the tollway, and it’s very easily accessible. Cafe 146 is one of those spots that you shouldn’t judge by its cover. Once you enter in, the interior is very bright, clean, and comfortable. Their restroom is maintained well and even has feminine products!! Miss Sunny greeted us warmly and walked us through the menu. We settled on Iced Cafe 146 House Special, Black Sugar Latte, Sausage Burrito, and Spinach and Feta Pastry.My mom is very picky with her coffee, but their house special (they use their own homemade syrup) was a HIT for her. She said it was perfect, and not too sweet or bitter! I like my coffee strong, and I enjoyed the balance in my Black Sugar Latte as well! The food was great too! We also got to try the custard taiyaki and loved it. We ended up ordering taiyaki (oreo, custard, and nutella) and kimbap to go. The taiyakis and kimbap were a success in our household. Gone in a few minutes!They offer taiyaki, bingsu, kimbap, different types of drinks, and pastries. They offer free Wifi as well, and it’s a strong connection. I was able to take zoom calls and do work with no wonky wifi issues.Cafe 146 really deserves all the praises. We had such a delightful time eating and getting to know Miss Sunny the owner. Excited to keep coming back! Please check them out!“

“Delicious local café! The staff were very friendly, the owner even came over and chatted with us for a bit. Food was fresh and the coffee was awesome!I had the veggie breakfast burrito which included bell peppers and fresh tomatoes to give it a delicious flavor profile. The potatoes were well seasoned and moist. The cappuccino was ??Vegetarian options: Menu has both sweet and savory vegetarian optionsParking: Many parking options throughout Austin Ranch“

“Nice simple spot. Ordered a dirty chai and 2 chorizo and egg croissant sandwiches. Dirty chai wasn’t too sweet, it was not the best one I’ve ever had but still pretty good. Croissant sandwich was yummy, very crispy buttery croissant. The inside ambiance didn’t have too much going for it, very basic decor, but still a good spot if you want to get some work done or have a quick coffee & a bite.“

“Have been here several times because my kids love food here. This time was the same perfect service and perfect food. My kids and I finished all meals got a full tummy and left. Love how they are clean all and keep great servers. Feel awesome every time I visit.“

“Main Street Cafe serves delicious food, atmosphere, prices, and service! We enjoyed breakfast of Chicken and Waffles and Mike's Special. Everything was wnderful...generous portions and perfectly seasoned! We will be back! I want another breakfast, but gotta try the lunches!?“

“Just a heads up. If you really want a treat, the Snug Cafe in Windsong is open to the public. The owner is a jewel! Asked our names, was very friendly and an amazing cook! We ordered the spinach breakfast sandwich on brioche and shared it. A small order of the world's best oatmeal with berries. I had a snickers decaf and hubby has fell in love with the reeses mocha. $30. And well worth the experience. We will definitely be back.“

“If you haven't been to Papparoti please do, fantastic service , quality of food is awesome. Tried their famous bun and karak chai it was just perfect reminded me of Hyderabad's famous muska bun.If you are in Frisco area please visit Papparoti, you will be glad ?“

“If you're ever looking for selections of kolaches, here's your spot! The owner is the sweetest lady and she works every day to make these. I'm still working my way through the options, but my favorites are the Philadelphia cheese steak and the BBQ so far. But I've enjoyed all the ones I've had! I asked her about getting a big order for the office as this is on my way to work and she said she just needs 3 day notice. I can't wait to share! Everyone should show some support to this little shop.“

“Great little hole in the wall spot in the rail district of Frisco. One of the few remaining places that make Frisco feel like a quaint small town. Unfortunately most of Frisco no longer has this type of charm. We always make it a point to bring out-of-town guests here for breakfast at least once on their trip.“

“Besides some customer service issues (see other reviews about extra jalapenos, for example) — the food is good. Never seen customer service issues when youngsters are working, by the way. I think they might be more connected to American customer service culture. Anyway, food quality seems to have gone down compared to when I came here every day in 2020-2021 but I’ll give it another shot. Maybe it was old ingredients at the end of the day but the meat was bland and my sandwiches seemed light on condiments. Mr. Banh Mi, keep a watchful eye on the quality.“

“The hotel was very nice, the golf course even nicer! My husband and I stayed for a golf and stay weekend for my birthday. The staff was AMAZING--we were made to feel special and Sabrina C. did an amazing job making us feel welcome and even recognized my birthday and went above and beyond her call of duty to facilitate that! We enjoyed the Westin Team, the food, service, and golf. We will stay again!“

“I was in the area for lunch time and didn’t know what to eat. I was looking around and saw the reviews and thought ok the place doesn’t really scream I’m here but everyone seems to like it so I gave it a chance. It was great. Menu was simple which I appreciate. I had the sea food / cucumber and tomato salad & the Caesar salad. The portion was giant. All the food was flavorful. The staff was very nice and helpful. Will definitely be going back for more!“

“This morning my waitress was Autumn, who was very energetic and had such an outstanding personality. It makes you want to continue to come back again and again. Service is the key to any business and she hit it right on the money.Courtney was kind also and Mgr RJ really o made an impact as he provides a high level of support and customer service. Thanks 1st watch for making tis a great! Meal“

“Love this place! They have great options and everything I've had has been very good. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the noise level in the restaurant is very loud. They could use some acoustic dampening tools to help with issue. Service is quick and pleasant.“

“Took my son for his birthday on a school day at 8:30 am. Simple donut selection but huge area for dining in. 1 lady behind the counter seemed overworked but still eager to please. Other customers were upper middle class and kind. They were out of rings with strawberry frosting, but the lady squirted some on a glazed for me, no problem ? Donut holes were hot and fresh. Donuts, too. Yum!“

“Always a great place to come for brunch on the weekends. It’s always busy and your party must all be present to be sat. We normally sit at the bar. The specialty coffees are so good! I always get the lavender honey latte and it is just the perfect amount of flavor. The menu is vast so it can be challenging to pick. This time we got the hash brown bowl and the breakfast tacos. We get something different each time we go and it’s always good. The bathrooms are clean and well stocked. There is plenty of street parking surrounding the restaurant. There are steps to get up to the door with hand rails. All in all we have been here many times and will continue to return.“

“PROs: Friendly staff, they opened the door and welcomed us in. Quickly seated with no wait time. Jadyn, waitress, friendly and attentive to us. Breakfast was served very quick, less than 7 mins from ordering time. Small but quaint establishment.CONs: Limited parking.Despite it being Sunday, they were open, no fancy flair just good home-like cooked breakfast and good people.“

“Had the Catfish plate. ACTUAL Catfish filets, not 2 inch strips! Gren means has meat in them. Reminded me of my granny's. Mac-n-cheese was great.Wife had cfc, had better. Rolls where ok corn bread to sweet for me but good.( don't like sweet cornbread AT ALL) They had HUGE pieces of pie and cake. Fat boy scale. Place is a solid 7!“

“If you're in the area and want an alternative to the long early morning lines at Starbucks, you'll be happy you came here. I went on a Thursday morning with my daughter. I got a cappuccino and she had a chocolate milk. We found a little table toward the back and relaxed a while.“

“We were visiting in the area & decided to use our FW gift card. It was a wonderful experience. The food was delicious & our server was attentive & made sure we had what we needed. Would definitely recommend the pancakes. I'm glad I only got one! It filled up the plate! The syurp was warm, too! The restaurant is quaint & clean. Go try them out!“

“I go to a lot of boba places for my girlfriend and always try to get something for myself too, which is difficult since I’m not a fan of teas or boba really. Normally I’ll go for a coffee, and even though there were no options other than a coffee milk tea, the man working was very accommodating and made me a delicious iced coffee. Girlfriend loved her boba as well. Prices also the best of any boba place I’ve been to. Great place!“

“I have a monthly coffee subscription and my order this month was lost to another state (courtesy of the post office), but Nathan was so kind to send me a fresh batch of coffee PLUS an extra bag....none of which I asked. So kind, excellent service and quality coffee all the time!! Thank you!!“

“Super nice and chill place. I go there very frequently on the weekends. Great food, great service, I never feel rushed or have a bad experience. Definitely recommend stopping by. I get their chicken fried biscuits, and its absolutely delicious.“

“These donuts are addicting! My favorite are the kolaches, breakfast tacos, blueberry donut, and apple fritter. I love that there's a variety of donut holes: glaze, chocolate sprinkles, and strawberry glaze. The donuts are just so soft and moist! Absolutely the best!“

“TL;DR: Fantastic coffee, and they even made decaf good.I have purchased drinks and beans here, as well as ordered beans shipped from the roastery. I recently had to go to decaf for medical reasons and that scared the heck out of me as I am a coffee addict/lover/home espresso brewer/etc.The beans I'll talk about here are the Mexican Turquesa from the Chiapas region. They are Solar roasted Arabica. Tasting notes of Walnut and Milk ChocolateI originally had the non decaf medium roast and I loved it for pour over. Drip (mocha master), and it turned out a pretty tasty espresso shot with very little difficulty in dialing in the grind.Since I have switched to decaf, I have had both the medium and the dark roast. There is barely a hint of difference in pour over and drip on the medium roast.It's fantastic that a decaf could date so could. I have been a death before decaf person, until It was a reality. I was very worried I would have to give up coffee as I've never heard a good word about decaf.I then thought to myself, if there is anyone I can think of that could keep flavor and texture intact, it would be Combs. I went up to Corinth and had a pour over in the cafe and I was impressed. I bought a jar then and there.I had since run out and ordered another 12oz of the medium, and decided to also give the dark roast a try, specifically for my Moka Pot. The Dark roast performed very well in the mokapot. All of the tasting notes were there.Combs sent me fresh roasted beans. The moment I opened up the UPS envelope, the aroma engulfed me in a warm hug of happiness and comfort.Again, I was not disappointed, and it has far exceeded expectations.Comb's really does decaf justice with their Mountain Water Process method.“

“Good breakfast spot. Service was fast and food came out pretty fast. Saturday mornings are pretty busy, which is expected, but it was still a good experience. Biscuits were a little dry, but big! I was able to enjoy them butter and jelly. I ordered a side order which included 2 biscuits. Portion sizes were plenty and price was average. They offer seasonal pancakes that might not be listed on the menu, so ask about them or you might see an advertisement for them. Area was clean with average noise.“

“Absolutely delicious Vietnamese coffee! Also, only $6 and no upcharge for extras!!! Look out Starbucks, 7leaves is what’s up. Top off the additive coffee, easy to use app makes ordering and pick up seamless and you earn leaves for free drinks. But the best part - the kindest and most friendly staff. Always friendly even when swamped, always helpful and smiling. I’m obsessed and highly recommend!“

“The owners/workers (not sure which) were very helpful and friendly! The goats are adorable! I wish we could have actually gone in there to pet them, but feeding them through the fence was fun, too. There are several games (pumpkin bowling, pumpkin tic-tac-toe, etc.) and a little teeter-totter for the kiddos to play, and several cute photo ops as well. The maze was perfect for littles, as it wasn’t complicated, and there’s no way to get lost. There were still several nice pumpkins left on the vine when we went this morning, and we got a pretty good one! Overall, this was a great experience, and I’m sure it will get better every year! 5 stars!“

“This place has a different theme for lunch every day. Home cooked food!! Very good. Definitely worth a try. Food is reasonable priced. Their drink selection is off the chain. Just know when you walk in... you WILL find something. They even have fresh fruit.. and one of the best mini salad bars I have seen. Snacks.. they got it. Staff is wonderful. Very nice, helpful and accommodating. I literally can eat here everyday. I usually can't eat all my lunch because the plates are pretty big, so I always have something to eat later. One of the best places I have came across in Texas.“

“We visited in a Saturday morning. Typical modern cafe settings, menu is contemporary.We ordered the London fog which was well made, two different sandwiches which were both top notch, well presented.The staff was polite, good vibes & great food. Will visit again.Vegetarian options: The caprese panini & veg wrap were both great.?“

“I loved the rustic and small town feeling despite booming new construction all around. They have a section for kids to play while you have some good grubs and a cold one. Our beers were served in frozen cups, which is a plus. All the staff we interacted were very friendly, specially Alma’s and Trini style food truck staff.Prices were on par with events/fair and maybe they will adjust the prices bit lower once the place starts to get more busy. There were only two food trucks for a Saturday night, but again there may be more options once it gets busier.“

“This is a great place for Sunday breakfast if you get here before 10.The service and hostess people are great. The menu has great traditional American breakfast items they serve up with their own touch.The kale drink is great.This place is also conveniently located around many other commercial stores and it's easy to get in and out in any direction.“

“Honey Berry is pretty decent place for food & drinks! They do have nice variety of menu, but they need add some more veggie options and should add beyond or impossible meat to menu. The service is usually good, and vibes of place good with music and nice people watching too! -Very good and nice selection of cocktails drinks -If you go after 11 make sure you do RSVP it gets busy after that time -Service is nice and bartenders too -Needs more veggie options -Nice place for brunch and breakfast“

“Great prices and unique and varied screenings. The seating is a bit cramped, but the movies are beautifully projected, and the audio balancing is spot on. No more volume turned up to 11 with incomprehensible dialog and ear splitting explosions and music.“
