I initially came for the A2Kicks shoe store, but stayed for the pastry shop and Gordita's restaurant. The food is authentic and full of flavor. The red velvet cookies from Lorena's Cakes were soft, flavorful and delicious. I want more. Everything in the plaza is reasonably priced, and the entrepreneurs give service with a smile. The vibe is great for all ages.

While visiting the Dirt Cheap next door i decided to pop in the Plaza. It's almost like a Harry…read moreHines bazaar type of vibe. It's a lot bigger than it appears on the outside. There are multiple different food options, there were clothing stores, wedding dress stores, phone stores. It's the plaza that just keeps on giving. Just keep walking around the building and you will find something worth your while. There was even live music going in the front!!! I am not on this side of town much but it seems like a cool place to go while out with family or by yourself.

It's been years since I hav been to Downtown Garland, and tonight as I walked around their square I…read morewas completely charmed with their presence. Beautiful old buildings are still the main staple surrounding the square. And I do love old buildings! The vintage bricks. Their big sweeping windows - perfect for grand store displays. And if I'm real lucky they will have original signage on the buildings. That's the part that makes me the happiest. And today I was in luck as I walked along Garlands square - the most beautiful old sign glowed in the night like a beacon drawing me in - it is the Plaza Theater. I stood there in awe. Yes, it was a grand thing to see! And they have many shows there. I just missed Sleepy Hollow. I wish I knew about it, that would have been a treat to see in this theater. Looking at upcoming events I am already making plans to attend some of them. I truly cannot wait! With it being October, pumpkins and straw filled the benches with fall sweetness. And children were playing in the middle courtyard. There's something beautiful about children playing and laughing. so, now I must end this review with a quiet but meaningful statement - Downtown Garland has captured that small home town feel many of us look for. So, don't miss out on this rare treat if you are in the neighborhood.

Over the last few years the downtown area has been revitalized from a sleepy little blip on the map into a mecca of things to do when in Garland. Today. You can shop, dine, and be entertained all within walking distance of each other. There is even a kids play area right in the heart of it all.

The food was fantastic, super filling, and pair that with an excellent espresso martini--I was in heaven. What really made the experience stand out was the service. Our server was so sweet and went out of their way to explain the menu details so we could find a safe, milk-free meal for our friend with a dairy restriction. Can't wait to come back!

It's a great place for date night. It also has a bar/cafe which is a little weird when you add in the ambiance of the restaurant. It was like two competing environments - quite dinner vs chaos of a coffee house. The food over all was good. We enjoyed the mussels, brussels, and tomato basil soup. The pasta I ordered, while flavorful, was over cooked and slathered in too much sauce, in my opinion. The meatballs were ok, but I've had better. Staff was nice, friendly, and attentive. They checked in on us while still giving us time and privacy for a quiet dinner. I would love to just spend the day reading here given the vibes.

Very walker friendly. I hear they also host events at times (outdoor yoga etc) right on the lawn. Great area for families, couples or just come solo. Looks like a little construction going on in the area, I will be happy when it is done. Overall lots to do for folks of all ages to enjoy.

I had already completed order and had now way of contacting, so after I refused to take back an order that a customer had purchased, the little man with a huge ego proceeded to follow me to my vehicle and block my car in with his body. He then waved down a real police officer to issue me a criminal trespassing warning for trying to deliver coffee, even though my record is squeaky clean lol

Upon entering their cafe/ gift shop, I noticed they had a Stranger Things Theme. There were a few families that were enjoying the large sitting area with couches, tables and table games. They really spent a long time crafting this theme and I really enjoyed all of the themed touches. I ordered a "Plain Jane" ice coffee which was delicious. You could see small pieces of graham cracker that added a good flavor. They had some baked goods available in addition to soda. They also offered a coffee flight which is something I would order if I was spending time with friends. There was one barista which did a great job keeping up with orders and communicating with customers. Next, I ventured out to check out their event space. They had an indoor event space with a shaded outdoor space right next to it with a bar area as well. After checking out the event space I looked at their flower, herbs and small cactuses outside the cafe. They had a small selection but good quality plants for a modest price. I also checked out their selection of pots and various plants outside the event space in additional to looking at their selection of trees and shrubs. Honey Locust would be a place I'd come to get coffee with friends as well as watch for any events they might have with the community. The theming they do in the coffee shop is fun and definitely worth coming to check out with your friends or family. All age levels would enjoy time here.
