    I tried a strawberry matcha latte w/oat milk and an adaptogen, it was delicious! There's a nice calm vibe inside and will definitely be a returning customer!

    Leaf Cafe is a really chill vibe! They've got a lot of seating with calming music and a tv playing cartoons in the background. They also have games to play while you sit and drink your beverage! Great place to socialize or even get work done. They have a very unique drink menu, I definitely want to go back to try the herbal mocktails. I got the matcha latte with coconut milk. It was a little on the sweet side but still enjoyable! There was only one person working the cafe but he was really nice and appreciative for us stopping in. I love the handwritten notes on the cups! Prices were pretty comparable to what coffee costs these days... ~$10 for two drinks. The "Bud Bar" in the back has a range of things you may desire including lots of incense!

    This place is a one of a kind one-stop-shop. They're a coffee shop in the front with a head shop in the back. Not only do they serve craft coffee, smoothies, slushies and tonics, but you can customize your drink with blends of various mushrooms, cbd, and THCA. They're also now offering Kava, Kratom, and thca-infused alcohol alternatives. They really have something for EVERYONE; if you're not sure what's right for you, just ask. They love to educate and help you find something you like. Their staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They frequently hold arts & crafts events, as well as local vendor shows. I've been to a couple and they're so much fun. Interior is aesthetic af. There's foliage, local art, video games, and a bud bar in the back. I'm a McKinney native, and I recently moved to Montreal. Although marijuana and mushrooms are legal and very easily attainable here, there's nothing quite like Leaf Cafe-- not even close. It's one of the first places I stop to visit when I'm back in Texas. Love love love, can't recommend enough.

    What a cute coffee shop!! I absolutely LOVED the decor. As soon as I walked in, I immediately felt cozy. This is the perfect spot to read a book, study for a test, or just catch up with friends. The music was calming and set to the perfect volume. I highly recommend the sopapilla latte. It had the perfect amount of vanilla and cinnamon! I'm already craving another one.

    Perfect spot for working from home. Quiet, small and cute. I ordered the iced vanilla coffee, delicious! Service was excellent too. The punch cards sold me, I will be coming back!

Add in a small bookstore or bakery as well, and you're probably talking about 90% of a young girl's fantasy. Maybe it was just me... Yeah, what's not to like? Good coffee, a zillion plants, friendly employees, and a nice open seating area. Good place to meet up with a friend or have a solo study session like me. If this place was closer, I'd be here a lot more often. I ordered the cold brew with coconut cold foam (suggested by the barista) and it was good. So good, I ordered two of them and ended up standing in my car, vibrating all the way home.

We ordered two drinks and the cashier did not mention that there was a wait at all. Only after we paid, when we commented on how many cups were in the queue, did she mention the wait would probably be 20 minutes or so. The wait was FIFTY MINUTES! For two coffees! The girls were lovely and probably overwhelmed, so I understand it was stressful, but I have to wonder why they continued to accept drink orders knowing they were this backed up. It felt very irresponsible and disrespectful to everyone's time. I ordered the lucky charms latte, and it tasted exactly like lavender. I hate lavender in a drink and would never have ordered it if I had known. I actually ended up buying a new latte from Bresnan because it was so bad. Cute shop and again, they are very friendly, but the way this weekend was handed is completely unacceptable. Nothing was offered to all of us who had to wait almost an hour for our drinks, either. I will never be back!

The young girl with the pixie haircut was VERY RUDE & gave nothing but 'RBF" upon entering and while I was asking questions. I came in with the intention of buying a full pie but after the service that was given I walked out with nothing in hand and I don't regret it. NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN. !!!MY RECOMMENDATION: I ended up going to an ice cream shop located in the downtown shops as well that sells boozy ice cream (I believe it was called boozy cocktail) which I recommend for your sweet treat in downtown instead! This ice cream shop was far superior in service than the pie place could ever be. PLUS ITS ICE CREAM! Who doesn't love that more than pies!

    Summer Moon Coffee (DFW Area)…read more How Did We Get Here? Somewhere between craving comfort and chasing the next destination... you realize coffee isn't just a drink--it's a ritual. And this stop? Exactly what I needed. I found myself at Summer Moon Coffee, leaning into a moment that felt slow, intentional... almost like time paused just long enough for me to catch up with myself. Let's talk about it. The Drink: Quarter Moon White Chocolate Latte. Smooth. Creamy. Elevated. That perfect balance of rich espresso and subtle sweetness--not overpowering, just enough to make you pause after the first sip. And that signature Moon Milk? Yeah... that's the difference. The Experience: Warm. Inviting. Uncomplicated. The kind of place where you don't feel rushed--you feel received. From the texture of the foam to the first inhale of that roasted aroma... it felt like a reset in a cup. The Vibe: Soft conversations. Natural light. A quiet kind of energy that lets you gather your thoughts before stepping back into the world. Final Thought: If you're moving through DFW and need a moment to land before your next move... this is it. Because sometimes, the journey isn't about where you're going-- it's about where you pause. And this pause? Was worth it. -- How Did We Get Here?

It's the perfect balance of creamy, spicy, and refreshing! And when I'm feeling a little extra spicy, adding a shot (or two!) of espresso takes it to a whole new level without losing that signature smoothness. My kids are obsessed with the Moon Glacier (no espresso, of course), and it's become their little treat every time we go. My husband usually goes for an Americano or their cold brew, and both are consistently bold, clean, and delicious -- exactly what he loves. Summer Moon just has that warm, inviting vibe that makes every visit feel like a small moment of joy. Great drinks, great energy, and something for everyone in the family. It's one of those places you look forward to returning to again and again!

Ordering is super easy using the self-service kiosk or by scanning the QR code, which takes you directly to the menu. This cute placed is owned by an incredibly sweet and young Korean couple. Every order is made fresh and when they present you your order, you can just tell that their bears are made with such love. They are so kind and welcoming, making the whole experience even better.

The restaurant is cute with wooden tables and benches. Each table has a cup of conversation starter slips; a nice touch for keeping the convos going with friends. I ordered my go to drink--a Thai Iced Tea. I loved the option to control the sweetness and the amount of ice. I went with 50% sweet. The rich flavor of the Thai tea came through beautifully. I am determined to come back and try their Sweet Bear pastries. I love that they have a savory filling option among other sweet choices. They advertise that they are served warm and fresh, taking around 10-15 minutes to prepare, so order ahead if time is an issue. They have a kiosk order system but only one kiosk. I waited a bit because I missed the ordering QR codes posted literally everywhere to save the wait in line. Oops! My tea was out super fast. No complaints. The owners were super nice. I was greeted instantly and offered samples. I love that they have personalized the place with elements of their story. As others said, there isn't an obvious bathroom, so don't count on Sweet Bear for a post-dentist rescue. Otherwise, a wonderful experience!
