I went in there for my first time. It is super cute inside but all their sandwiches are super…read morefattening. I asked for a cup of soup and wanted it hot but they couldn't make it hotter than it was (as it just sat in a warming area). They only had a cardboard bowl so I bagged it. They had super expensive little cold items in their grab and go area but nothing substantial for a good and satisfying protein meal.

I am traveling for a wedding and stumbled across Hugs Cafe for a light lunch. The menu looked…read moregreat, so we decided to head to downtown McKinney to grab some takeout. We learned that Hugs Cafe is a nonprofit that employs adults with disabilities, which made us want to support them even more. We had the Reuben, the Peach Gobbler, and the potato salad and everything was absolutely amazing. The jams used on the sandwiches were so unique and sweet, and they paired extremely well with the meat on each sandwich. Every bite was flavorful and clearly made with care. The potato salad was also delicious and the perfect side to our meal. Beyond the incredible food, the service was warm and welcoming, and you could truly feel the heart behind this place. If you're in the area, this is definitely a spot worth visiting as it has great food and an even greater purpose behind it!

Perfect spot for breakfast or lunch -- just don't sleep in too late because they close at 3pm! I grabbed a sandwich, a cup of soup, and a drink for around $15, which felt like a steal considering the good vibes included free of charge. Everyone working there genuinely seemed happy to be there, and the enthusiasm was so strong we actually had to defend our food from an adorably overachieving employee trying to clear the table before we were finished. Honestly, if the whole world had that level of work ethic, we'd all be retired by now. Do yourself a favor and stop by Hugs -- good food, amazing mission, and enough positivity to restore your faith in humanity for at least the rest of the afternoon!

The Nutty Creation Is the One to Order…read more Elke's Market Cafe is a cozy, approachable spot that does simple things well. The standout for me is Elke's Nutty Creation, and now that I know what's in it, it makes complete sense why it's so good. The combination of pecan cheddar spread, bacon, candied jalapeños, and peach preserves on toasted molasses wheat bread hits that perfect sweet-savory balance. It's rich without being heavy, a little sweet, a little salty, and just enough heat to keep it interesting. One of those sandwiches that sounds unusual, but works surprisingly well. The café itself has a relaxed, welcoming feel, and service is friendly and easygoing. A great spot for a casual lunch when you want something comforting, but a little different. If you're unsure what to order, the Nutty Creation is absolutely worth trying.

Updated review: 2/23/26…read more FOOD: The food here is always consistently good & has been over the years. The ownership changed hands after the pandemic, but the quality of the food has remained unchanged. It is a great place to go for just about anything. I especially love the soups and sandwiches. The only deduction in a star is I wish they had the chicken & wild rice consistently more available on the market side and a few more dessert offerings in the restaurant. All they have is lemon bars, cookies, banana pudding. I would like to see a daily pie special. ATMOSPHERE: This is a solid place, clean, good for kids, families, ok for a first date and coffee--definitely not romantic. It is always clean and neat. SERVICE: You order at the register and they bring it out to you, but it is pretty low-key. All team members are great. TIP: Pick up a freezer meal when you leave. Their casseroles and dips are great for emergencies or a night off.

The sandwich and a bag of chips was $11.00. Trust me when I say that was not an $11.00 sandwich. Mostly bread, and hardly anything inside. They could have put more lettus and tomatoes to make it look bigger. This place is a ripoff. Bad service and bad food equals not going back ever again.

Cute little quiet snack place that has healthy options!…read more I was in the area and needed some place quick to get a healthy snack and I looked up and saw this store. I was able to pick up a fruit pack and the fruit was super fresh and some kombucha. Not only was there breakfast burritos and other snacks and drinks, but a nice little seating area and friendly staff. I had no idea what was in this store but ended up finding a lot more options than I would have imagined. I'll be back for another healthy snack when I'm in the area!
