    More foam than coffee!
    Joel J.

    My nitro coffee was more foam than coffee and my wife's cold brew was more milk than anything else. So, as a veteran and I want to support my fellow veterans, I will say I have to leave an honest review. This coffe shop is dirty. It's understandable that there might be patrons that spill here and there in the dinning room. But you could tell that this place hadn't been cleaned in a while. I noticed this after placing my order. The person taking my order clearly had an attitude and it was an unpleasant experience. The coffee shop should smell like coffee as you enter. It smelled like cigar smoke. Hence, there's a cigar shop next door. It didn't bother me, but it was more than noticeable right as we entered. It was surprising that all the staff were the purple haired mafia, it being a veteran owned establishment. I definitely won't be coming back.

    Coffee flight

    Was staying across the street for a business meeting and saw the coffee place on the drive in. Made note to go back for coffee the next morning. Looked online and saw they do coffee flights. Decided to give that a try, with the seasonal flavor option. Currenly, that included peppermint mocha, salted caramel latte, banana bread chai and s'mores cold brew. I liked the caramel and s'mores but the syrups needed to be stirred in more. The banana bread chai was great. Went back the next day and grabbed a cookie butter latte before meetings started. Was surprisingly not overly sweet. Would definitely recommend stopping in!

    I stopped by Armor in the evening with a friend and loved how spacious and welcoming the place was. There were plenty of comfy looking furniture to sit on as well as a small outdoor patio. They had some pastries that looked yummy as well. Our barista was friendly and our order came out quickly. I went with the London fog in a medium which was delicious. I appreciated that the drink wasn't overly sweet and the prices are affordable. They have a seasonal drink menu which is fun for the holidays. If I'm ever in the area, I look forward to returning.

    Fantastic! Great, comfortable clean environment. Friendly and fast service, too. Great Chicken Salad Sandwich and the Loaded Baked Potato soup was the best I ever had. Great place for a casual Saturday lunch. We will be back :^)

    Potato Chive Egg Bites

    I returned here today after a long hiatus from being one of my favorite shops (I left because it was getting a bit crowded). I got a promotion in the app for a free drink, so of course returned. I was pleasantly surprised by the new breakfast items on the menu, especially these incredible Potato Chive Eggs Bites that are TO DIE FOR. Not only do you get three, but they come with a dill? based "Envy sauce", and they taste homemade, just like your momma would make. Way better than that other, overrated coffee shop that everybody flocks to. YUM. Will return!

    Barista line and drive thru

    I looooove this place! Had it for the first time after an event, as this location is next to the Event Center. I had an iced pumpkin spice latte, an iced matcha, and a chocolate banana loaf. Everything was so perfectly delicious and well crafted! Perfect portions, I mean seriously delicious. It is such a cute spot, too! There's this little room with a table in chairs in it where you can rent it for whatever you'd like. There's plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. The staff was friendly and there's also a drive through. They handled the amount of us that walked in very very well, no messing up a single drink, it seemed. Can't wait to visit again!

    Coffee Flight
    Vu N.

    Stopped by this coffee shop after a big lunch to unwind and sip some coffee, and I'm so glad we did! They offer coffee flights, which is a fun way to sample different flavors. We tried Cookie Butter, White Sands, White Lavender, and Honey Vanilla. All unique and delicious in their own way. For me, White Sands was the standout! Smooth, balanced, and something I'd definitely order again on my next visit. Great spot, cozy atmosphere, and a perfect place to relax over a good cup of coffee.

    The setting here is so cozy & fun!! The staff is wonderful and literally told us today "as long as we have it, you can have whatever you would like". They are so accommodating and kind! The drinks are tasty and perfect and the food is so yummy. We have gone through the drive thru several times and eaten inside a couple times. We love the games, coloring sheets and crayons for the kiddos. We will definitely be back!! Their beans are my favorite to make espresso at home too, they grind so well and taste like I am at a coffee shop even at home.

    Me & my cold brew
    Lindsy H.

    I've frequented Armor enough now to confidently update my review. I really enjoy Armor Coffee, I only wish there was more indoor seating! The Bacon Breakfast Tacos are my favorite followed by their chocolate chip cookies, which are good but amazing when warmed. The cold brew is strong and tasty and their creative lattes sound delicious although I enjoy a plain ol' almond milk latte. The service is usually pretty cheerful and quick and I really enjoy that they have coloring pages and crayons for kiddos. Although, it's hit or miss if you'll actually find a table to sit at when you arrive - the indoor seating is tight and most tables are usually taken by people with computers. Likely due to the free wifi. My favorite part of Armor is their drive thru!! It's actually quick and the service is always great. I've never had a messed up order and my food/drinks are hot. If you're visiting for the nostalgia of following Jen on her IG Rambling Redhead page or No Demo Reno, you'll be happy to find a handful of merch from t-shirts, to cups, mugs and stickers available for purchase. They started a loyalty rewards program a year or so ago and it's not that great. I guess something is better than nothing though

    I really dislike leaving reviews but maybe they will improve with some CC and listen to customers. About 5 years ago Armor was consistent with quality and taste, but lately its not been up to par. I'm pretty familiar with coffee shops, coffee, and quality but after a handful of visits with me having to go to another coffee shop afterwards I had to write a review. I love supporting small businesses and hope y'all improve the quality of the drinks and succeed.

    Cherry Chai Latte

    One of my favorite coffee spots when in Allen. I like their espresso and they don't burn there beans. I love trying seasonal drinks here and I really like their seasonal waffles. They're always a fan favorite for my kiddos.

    I adore Jenn Todryk! I was so stoked to visit her coffee shop. I knew it would be next level design, superb coffee and hospitable service. In baseball, batting .300 is amazing. So if we're using that, Armor is a homerun. But I'm not using that. The live plants were the only exceptional design element. The coffee was akin to those gas station latte dispensers. But the service personnel were very friendly and accommodating. There was ample seating, including casual community-based seating - like couches, etc. And there was a special room that I assume is available for meeting space, etc. The shop was filthy - crumbs and partial cookies in the second tier of the coffee table, a quite dirty floor, a malfunctioning toilet. Very disappointing. I think this might be a result of just setting my hopes too high. I did find out there was a new location in Wylie - so I visited there, as well. It was cleaner and the design was more in line with what I was hoping for from an HGTV star. But my latte was burnt and my wife's soda was total syrup, no carbonation. I'd only go there if I wanted an average or less experience. Sorry Jenn! I still love you!

    My guy and I went for brunch one Sunday and there was a 45 minute to 1 hrs wait for seating or bar…read moreside seating for immediate service and one we were seated, we understood why. First off the menu options are varied making it hard to choose just one entree. Did we want pancakes or French toast or biscuits....so hard. We were seated at the back of the restaurant, kitchen side and it was so fascinating to see meals as they were prepped to go out to patrons. Everything looked fresh, delicious, and made to order and the portions were definitely shareable. We started off with brunch cocktails and even received a comp croissant beignet appetizer which was absolutely amazing. They were flacky on the outside and butter soft inside with amazing Nutella dipping sauce. We decided to go with a green goddess salad with all the yummy veggies, French toast, and pancakes for the table. This is a great place to dine alone and with family, friends, or a brunch date. Its very farmhouse chic and cant what to go back and try more of the menu. They will always get a recommendation from me.

First off the Chicken Fried Chicken was delicious prepared very well good flavor and very crispy. The gravy had a lot of flavor as well no salt or pepper needed. I order three eggs over medium the yolk could have been a bit more runny. I didn't care for the has because it did not have any potatoes in it. Service was good but did not knock my socks off. The restaurant is decorated very nice and had a good vibe. I ordered a second piece of sourdough toast which tasted great hence the reason for a second piece. The real home made jam made the toast. When the bill came I was charged $4.50 for a single piece of toast. This was a ridiculous amount for a single piece of toast it was more than my iced tea. Really $2.00 for a piece of bread toasted seems like a reasonable price. I just finished breakfast at another breakfast spot up on University. I really can't compare apples to apples except for the addition pice of toast. $1.99 for two slices of toast. Over all meal was priced fair. I just don't think I will be back here due to the prices.

Located in a never-ending strip mall in Allen, we walked in and got our name on the list. It was 11:30 am, so the early church crowd was coming in alongside us. We were told it would be about 30 minutes, but it ended up only being about 10. Inside, Sunview is loaded with Texas décor all over the walls. It feels pretty small, but they definitely take advantage of every corner of the space for seating with their booths and tables. The prices are pretty fair for a brunch spot. One thing that definitely caught me off guard was how many things were on their double-sided menu. It felt like a legal document with how extensive it was. It is definitely overwhelming, but I locked in and ordered a Meat Lover's Omelet. It's filled with bacon, sausage, ham, and American cheese. For my sides, I got hash browns and two pancakes, which is a steal for a $14 omelet. It wasn't long before the food came out, and I crushed the omelet. It needed some salt and pepper personally, but it was pretty good and hearty, especially with the pancakes as a side. The impression from my brother and sister-in-law was that they wanted to come back here often, and I'll probably find myself returning next time I'm in Dallas.

The menu continues to evolve, which is good. Although this last visit both my husband and I noticed the menu is becoming very similar to Cheesecake Factory. By that I mean, they are adding more pages, more loose menu pages with options and their menu items are going into realms that seem very off brand (raw ahi tuna plates, shwarma salad, bao buns, etc). Lazy Dog has always been associated with a diverse beer selection, a down home (almost) southern like food menu. A more elevated and sophisticated Cracker Barrell if you will. This detour from the 'norm' gave us both pause - could the food actually be good? While my hubby and kids stuck to their regular options (crispy deviled eggs, buffalo chicken bites, kids menu) I chose to try the Chili Crunch Ahi Tuna - sashimi grade seared rare tuna, furikake-seasoned rice, edamame, avocado, marinated cucumbers, pickled ginger, spicy garlic crunch, citrus soy dipping sauce and it was DELICIOUS!!! I enjoyed every bite of my meal and would absolutely order it again. I definitely think Lazy Dog is making a run for being competition to Cheesecake Factory when it comes to their menu. Their desserts however have a LOOOOONG way to go. The Campfire Cookies were awful!! Stale, cooked firm, every bite had so many white chips it was overwhelming, there was barely any chocolate, the drizzle soaked into the stale cookies and was tasteless. I have a hard time saying no to any cookie, but could easily say no to these every time. I will actually look forward to trying Lazy Dog again now that they have other healthier options to choose from.

We were looking for a good taqueria in Allen and found it here. This is a cozy place with about 10+ tables, playing Mexican music videos, etc. (but not loud enough to interfere with conversation). To try things out, we ordered their grilled cebolla/jalapeño combo, and 4 tacos -pastor, chorizo, barbacoa, & lengua (see photos). These are Mexican Street taco style with 2 corn tortillas. I tried the pastor, chorizo & barbacoa - they were all excellent! Served with onion, cilantro, lime slices and radish slices. Very high quality! I would be happy to eat any of them again, but would probably quadruple down on the pastor because it was just great (and I am a pastor fan - I am still in search of the El Tizoncito style al pastor tacos that you can find in DF, but until I do, these will keep me happy).
