    I always like Japanese desserts. They prepare their sweet delights exquisitely, like taiyaki and doriyaki. But this time, I was at Hoshi, getting their obanyakis with taro and matcha fillings. I liked the matcha filling better, which was sweet and creamy. But what I liked most was the cake. It was soft, fluffy, and toasty, right off the grill. They have many other snacks, like Texas-sized onigiri with various meat options, and cold and hot drinks. The place looks pretty cute. Its warm and cozy with Japanese style murals. I'll be back to try some other things.

    Fun Japanese cafe in Plano that has cute drinks and tasty snacks! I actually really enjoyed their onigiri - which are hard to find good ones in North Texas! They also host car events too for anyone interested in JDM culture

    Onigiris were great. My favorite was the suyaki beef! Super tender and flavorful. Both drinks had good quality matcha and blended well. Service was great as well. They took the time to explain and answer all the questions we had. I wish this spot was closer to me!

    Was craving onigiri and found this hidden gem that did not leave us disappointed!! They are not lying when they say that these are Texas size onigiri, depending on how hungry you are, you can definitely share one of these. They have a great variety of options and flavors, and the chicken is good if you're not a huge seafood fan! The service was quick and the cashier helped us decide what flavors we wanted and things came out quickly and hot! The overall vibe is pretty cute and clean, felt like a nice hangout spot. Will be back soon!

    Matcha latte ($8) and Melon Ice Cream Soda ($8)

    Tucked in the back corner of a building, it's easy to miss this cute Japanese cafe with its menu of savory onigiri, sweet obanyaki desserts, and variety of fruit and matcha drinks. I tried the matcha latte ($8) while my friend got the melon cream soda ($8). I liked my latte which wasn't too sweet and actually had a pretty rich, smooth, and slightly bitter matcha flavor. I would definitely recommend this spot for its matcha! However my friend said her drink was too sweet and couldn't finish it. Maybe it was a one-off. The staff member taking our order was friendly, and the space is quite large, and some people were there getting work done.

    Very cute Japanese cafe which serves authentic Japanese street food like obanyaki, pandayaki (panda shaped obanyaki), Texas size onigiri and delicious Japanese drinks. The lady behind the counter was always pleasant and greets you cheerfully as soon as you walk in even if she's busy making some fresh obanyaki. Plenty of seating and walls are decorated/ painted with fun colors. They also sell trinkets and bags of ground coffee. It's a definite place to check out and try Japanese street snacks.

    Onigiri

    Yummyy!! I tried the beef onigiri, spam and egg, and ume plum onigiri and all three were sooo good. My favorite is probably the beef one - both the beef and the rice is seasoned really well! The rice to filling ratio is also perfect on their onigiri so you dont have to dig through bites of just rice to get to the filling Will definitely be back to try more stuff! Space is clean and service was friendly. I think the onigiris are made to order so it took around 10-15 mins when i went there but i dont mind the short wait bc it was warm and fresh! c:

    Cute little Japanese cafe in the same compound where the post office is. Obanyaki is one of my most favorite Japanese snack. It is sweet but on a lighter side of sweet. I really enjoy it when it is freshly made and still warm. I bought the traditional red bean and taro obanyaki and got 6pcs of Shaka Shaka Pandayaki filled with Nutella. I had to wait about 10 minutes for this one cause she didn't have one available yet. My order was wrapped nicely, very fluffy and still really warm. It's a perfect sweet but not so sweet snack.

    Had an amazing experience at Hoshi. The matcha is on point. I went a bit late and they ran out of rice bowls. I had a strawberry matcha latte and one of the best.

    Hoshi Japanese Cafe in Plano,TX reminded me so much of cafes I ran across during my trip to Tokyo last year. In fact, the proprietors are originally from Japan. The products, interior decor, and vibe all scream Japan to me. During my most recent trip to visit good friends in Plano, we stopped in here at least twice and both times, I ordered their Cold Brew with Cold Foam. Not too sweet, bold coffee taste and well balanced. The sweet ladies who helped us were gracious, helpful in helping us decide what to order, and even brought out our drinks to us while we were seated. Service done the right way here.

    The onigiri is packed (Okii) The yuzu matcha was amazing The gyudon was mid for Japan, but great for the USA. We loved the anko and custard desserts. Definitely a place to go if you're looking for a taste of authentic Japanese food. The hoji cha is excellent!! I will definitely go there again!

    Hojicha with oatmilk!
    Elaine M.

    Absolutely love this little cafe. Besides having obanyaki (which is my favorite) they have yummae drinks, texas size onigiri, AND Okonomiyaki (which is what I got). The trouble is when you need to select which filling you want to try in your obanyaki. I finally decided on the strawberry filling ichigo an, and the hubs got matcha filling. Yum, comes out hot with a crispy texture on the outside, soft on the inside. When I saw hojicha latte on the menu, I almost fainted. This is my most favorite Japanese hot drink. I got it iced with oatmilk and it was the most delicious hojicha drink I've had to date. There is maybe one other cafe that has this that I can think of. The service here is wonderful. We will be back for the little teddy bear obanyaki. My kids would love that.

    Stopped by for an event and ordered the mango sticky rice matcha since I love the traditional mango…read moresticky rice dessert. If you're someone who finds traditional matcha a little too strong or grassy, this is a great option. It was lighter, fruit-forward, and the mango flavor came through nicely. The pastry case also caught my attention--everything looked fresh and incredibly tempting. I didn't get a chance to try any this visit, so I'm looking forward to trying some of the pastries next time. Overall, a nice spot for a lighter matcha drink and worth checking out if you're looking for something a little different. Staff was sweet and organized as they were a bit busy.

Trisha took my order and was super awesome at making many great recommendations while Miriam cranked the beverages for the people ahead of me. Loved the GF option for an almond loaf. This reminds me of a wonderful home cafe mixed with a nice southern coffee shop. They even have seating outside for a beautiful day like the day I went. Very Austin vibes. Seating options are from regular wood bench to a cozy couch. Loved the live plants that add fresh air and a nice atmosphere. They had low playing music that was very urban so you can carry a conversation while supporting smaller artists and working on work. Headphones if you'd like your own music would be great and wouldn't be interrupted with the music playing in the shop. Biscoff caramel latte: Wonderful flavor of coffee. I was fearful it'd be too sweet but it was perfectly sweetened. The Biscoff crumbles add the Biscoff flavor and the caramel isn't overpowering. It's a soft balance of the two together. The foam was pleasant and would recommend hot. Personally would love a stronger Biscoff flavor cause Biscoff is my favorite cracker. But other than that, a super solid beverage. Almond Loaf (GF): The crumble and moist texture were perfect. Not too crazy of a GF taste. Different but wonderful. The top has a crumble similar to Almond croissant that is so satisfying if you're craving a lil more sweet with your bite. Together: Wonderful together. The almond loaf isn't dense but it doesn't completely fall apart either. Super happy.

    This place is SO good! My only complaint is that it isn't walking distance from my house, because…read moreI'd be here all the time. I've tried both the matcha and coffee drinks, and both are amazing depending on whether I need a bigger caffeine kick that day. So far I've ordered the pandan coffee, milk phin coffee, ube matcha latte, and blue coconut coffee. All were delicious! I love trying something new every time because I know it'll hit. One FYI: if you ask for less ice, they don't add extra liquid to make up for it, so don't be shocked if your drink looks a little empty. The drinks also run a bit on the sweeter side. The workers are all so nice and welcoming with any questions I have, and they always get drinks out quickly even when it's busy. Just a heads up: seating can be hard to find on weekends, and parking can be tricky too.

    Trung Nguyen - Old Denton Rd (Carrollton)…read more This might be the best coffee I've ever tasted in DFW area I've visited this location three different times. After tasting for the very first time their, Black Phin Coffee (Ca Phe Den), I was truly craving more. BLACK PHIN: It's kind of difficult to describe what kind of flavor it is and what makes this particular Vietnamese coffee blend so unique. I usually prefer hot coffee. When you first get it, it offers a sweet aroma, like notes of condensed milk. But, it's not sweet flavored. Unless you prefer cream and sugar in your coffee. With every sip it becomes more and more uniquely flavorful. It offers a bold flavor for your taste buds. I typically can drink up to two 12oz cups, but even then I don't finish the entire cup. This one, I can finish the entire cup and crave more. ATMOSPHERE: The space is cozy and small. It stays busy throughout the day. It offers limited seating with a unique layout. You will find a few tables with chairs to the left of the entrance. Three open cubbyholes with tables and chairs, on the right side. The middle cubbyhole has a beautiful wooden world map. They have a small waiting area in the corner. This corner offers large wooden shelves full of unique merchandise for all your coffee needs. The shelves look like they've been thoughtfully designed and look elegant without overcrowding the space. SERVICE: All three times I've visited the service has been welcoming, efficient and the order made right. Even if your order is not to your satisfaction, they'll gladly remake it for you. The staff were friendly and helpful if you're new to Vietnamese coffee culture. PARKING: Extremely difficult to get a parking spot here. Be sure to plan your visit accordingly. You can drop your car buddy off and circle around a few times. OVERALL: All three times I visited, my hot Black Phin had exact same consistency as the first sip. Next time I visit DFW area, this is a must stop for me. I highly recommend you give them a try. They offer great menu variety of drinks and food options. They do offer complimentary Wi-Fi, if you need to stay inside, get work done or just catch up with your friends and family.
