    Baklava finger
    Lauren C.

    I was drawn to try this place after seeing they had a 100% approval rating on Apple Maps. When I walked in I was expecting a typical coffee shop menu with croissants, muffins, etc. They did have those options, but I was pleasantly surprised to see more unique items like their empanadas and baklava. I ordered a baklava finger and strawberry matcha. The matcha was good, but the baklava was amazing! I would go back again just to get more of that. Beyond the food, the staff were nice and welcoming and the service was pretty quick. I can't wait to visit again!

    I stopped by MOTW Coffee and had their pistachio coffee--absolutely delicious! The flavor was smooth, nutty, and perfectly balanced without being too sweet. It instantly became one of my new favorites. The quiche was yummy and freshly made. The shop itself is bright, clean, and welcoming. The decor is simple but stylish, and the whole space has a peaceful vibe that makes it great for relaxing or getting a little work done. There were a few board games available to use. The staff was friendly and the service was quick, which made the experience even better.

    Good coffee! Very spacious inside! Plenty options for small bites but at this visit did not purchase any

    Hey peeps. Not sure what happened to my last review. I came through opening day and have been coming back ever since. Coffee, vibe, and decor is all fresh. The staff is efficient and the owners are always there hanging out and doing work with us. This is a dope new spot and I hope they have huge success.

    Biscoff Latte

    Stopped in for a coffee to try them out. Nice looking coffee shop with a pretty good menu. We were in a rush and just wanted a quick cup to go. I ordered a large specialty latte. I got the biscoff flavor with almond milk. The coffee is really good, I'd come back and try more items.

    Butter chicken empanada
    Frankie Q.

    Ambiance: 10/10 beautiful tile, lighting and seating. Everything is coordinated and very welcoming Service: 10/10 warm greetings from the door and again when you get to the counter Food: 8.5/10 Dubai mosaic cake; moist, fresh and delicious Banana bread muffin; did they steal my recipe!!?? Loved it Butter chicken empanada; loved the pastry but the filling was sweet... no thanks Coco pistachio: so yummy, well balanced Caramel avalanche: no overly sweet, caramel was there but not overpowered This was my first trip and hubby's third. I'll definitely be returning to try more drinks and food.

    Pistachio latte and carrot cake muffin
    Monica B.

    This new coffee shop in Cedar Hill is so nice. Im excited for my city for this new coffee shop. The decor is so nice and beautiful. The service was welcoming and they helped me with making a decision,which I got the pistachio latte with oat milk. There are so many pastries to pick from i got the carrot cake muffin. It was moist and delicious. I will definitely be back to try new coffees and pastries.

    Iced Carmel Avalanche latte with vanilla cold foam
    Abbey W.

    First of all what a blessing for Cedar Hill. This coffee shop came at a perfect time for the city. The service was fast and the employees were so kind. The coffee is hands down the best in the town. We tried the iced biscoff latte with biscoff cold foam and the Carmel avalanche iced latte with vanilla cold foam. The coffee was a 10/10 I am glad we got a large for both. Now you also know we had to try some kind of food option, we got the samosa empanada. It was so flavorful, soft, and tasted like they made them in house. HIGHLY recommend giving this place a try asap. I can definitely see this being a popular place soon.

    Robbie D.

    It was ok, coffee was flavorful and hot. Clean and neat setting. Young lady helped me choose a couple of items. The baklava finger and the samosa empanada were good flaky and flavorful.

    Extra coffee for purchase
    Ebony H.

    Such a great atmosphere to work in, try out, or just gather in general. The barista provided suggestions as I was torn between the oh honey or the cookie butter latte. I went with the oh honey and it was strong but tasty. I also purchased a blueberry muffed warmed and it was fabulous. It was a chill and clean environment to work in with plenty of space.

    Matcha latte and chocolate tres leches cake
    rubaaey

    Matcha was delicious! It was perfectly sweetened. Cake was so yummy! I will definitely be back to try more stuff. The inside was very cozy but also luxurious. The cashier was very sweet and very helpful.

Ordered several different empanadas to try along with the seasoned rice and iced coffee. First bite has you quickly understanding their 5star rating and wishing you'd have ordered more, but these empanadas are large and two a piece seemed to be the right amount for everyone. The rice though, hallelujah! I could easily make a meal just out of that delicious bowl of goodness. Highly recommend this place when in the area! Superb!

The selection of sauces is incredible, with plenty of both savory and sweet flavors to complement your meal. I ordered a box of 12, and it came with 5-6 different sauces--more than enough to sample and find a few favorites. My husband couldn't resist trying the aguas frescas and chose the jamaica. It was absolutely delicious and tasted just like the homemade version I make at home--fresh, authentic, and without any artificial flavors or colors. Now it's my turn to grab a guava empanada which happens to be my favorite! Between the flavorful food, generous sauces, and refreshing drinks, this place definitely earned a return visit. Highly recommend!

Kinda odd, but you order on the back side where there's a large deck with chairs and fans. Lots of fans. We placed our order and sat inside, they only have 3 tables I think. Server brought us our drinks pretty quick. It took about 20 mins to get our food, but server said each empanada is hand made and they can only cook 6 at a time. Ok. No worries. When they arrive, they were hot and well worth the wait. Both were very flavorful. The owner's daughter, who was doing the cooking, stopped by and asked how things were. Told her great and I'd never had Puerto Rican empanadas, just Argentinian. She said AR empanadas are baked vs PR that are deep fried. And the fillings are somewhat different. Appreciated the info. Also had some fruity slushi that was a bit of a butt kicker. These are really good. If you've never had one, you gotta try them.

According to Sarah, this one won a Dallas award for best Cuban. - See photo. I have had more than a few Cuban sandwiches in my life, and this one is absolutely top tier.

They offer several variations of Cubans..., including one with mortadella that I am already planning to try next time. I will admit, in the review photos the sandwiches might not look pressed or buttered enough. Trust the process. The bread was perfection. I am very particular about grilled sandwiches being truly grilled and fully heated through, and these ladies know exactly what they are doing.

The shredded beef was - (Meat prep courtesy of Sarah) a delightful surprise, slightly sweet and savory and incredibly flavorful and texture. Just really, really good. We also got a bag of plantain chips, and I respect that those are the only chips they offer. No generic bagged Lays here. Plantain chips or nothin' - I like it!!! There is also a display case full of beautiful baked treats made by Rita. After sandwiches at that level, there was no way we were leaving without dessert. We took three to go: a meringue filled with dulce de leche, which was a total sleeper hit, a guava and cheese pastry, and a dulce Napoleon. Every bite felt special. The inside is authentic and charming, though the tables are a bit tight. I cannot wait to go back.
