    A 3  egg omelette. Smallest I have ever seen

    Smallest 3 egg omelette we have ever seen and how can you make eggs taste bad? Horrible. But worse than the miniature omelette, the grits were even worse. No taste at all. They were disgusting. Very disappointing. They did cook my bacon to order but the bacon was like a salt stick. Unfortunate- we were so happy to see a new cafe in The Colony hopefully it was just an off day

    The Colony Cafe is quite possibly one of a few truly standout dining establishments in Denton County, featuring a warm and inviting environment and staffed with genuinely kind employees. Deciding upon a dish may conceivably be difficult as The Colony Cafe's highly affordable menu, although not overwhelming with clutter or redundancy, contains many potentially tantalizing dishes. Because of this dilemma, I deferred to the expertise of our waitress. She: So, what will y'all be having? Me: Hmm, I'm torn between Eggs Benedict, Migas, and Reuben Omelet. She: Those are all great choices... Me: (becoming more puzzled) Alright, if you could have something right now, what would YOU order. She: Actually, I wouldn't order any of those. I would order The Colony Combo. Me: Really?!? She: YES! It's sooooo good!!! Me: Alright, I'm convinced! Colony Combo ($5.49): 5/5 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-colony-cafe-the-colony?select=3gkDx24Vj0y3d-glIW_cwg http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-colony-cafe-the-colony?select=1j015prjurv3dQ1rXYgLXw http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-colony-cafe-the-colony?select=DRAMuWLot0_PnfJBORK0mg http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-colony-cafe-the-colony?select=e-5x6vaUpCaMHTpJaRhcMA Frankly, I became skeptical after ordering. "What's so special about a couple eggs, a few slices of bacon, and a short stack of hot cakes?", I thought. What I can say is, The Colony Cafe flawlessly executed a simple breakfast. My compliments to the chef for preparing sunny-side up exactly as they were intended, frying bacon perfect to a bright crisp, and whipping up a batch of fluffy pancakes that, in my opinion, are the pinnacle and epitome of all pancakes...ever!!! Texas Chili Cheese Omelet ($7.29): 5/5 I nearly ordered this myself but became the immediate benefactor of Loren L's lack of stomach capacity. The Colony Cafe's hearty chili omelet is something of legends! Their perfectly balanced chili is not over the top spicy, nor too acidic or overcome with tomato flavor. Undoubtedly, one dish not to be glanced over. Coffee ($1.59): 4/5 Known for my strict critique of coffee, I was delightfully impressed by The Colony Cafe's ability to brew a solid cup of coffee that did not require sugar or milk. To attest to my approval, I actually requested my cup be refilled more than several times during the course of our breakfast. If you are a resident of Denton County, you mustn't delay a visit to The Colony Cafe. Their value minded offerings will more than satisfy and most assuredly, keep you coming back for more.

    The first time I came here I had The Colony Skillet. I walked into the place for the first time at around 1:30 p.m. on a Sunday for my "breakfast". Keep in mind that this place closes at 2:30, so by then, there weren't that many people there anymore. The first thing I noticed about the couple tables that were there was that they seemed to be on very familiar terms with the staff. Good sign. Starving, didn't really know what to order. I had read that the coffee was good, so I knew I was going to try it. Coffee aside, I asked my server "I'm hungry, what's popular?" In my less manner-observing thoughts this roughly translated to "Feed me the best food you've got" I think she read my mind. "The Colony Skillet." she said. Now normally in small establishments such as this one, I'm always skeptical of food that's named after a city. After she explained everything that's in it (during which I didn't really take in half the things she said), I agreed to it. First came the coffee. The coffee was very decent. It wasn't an exotic brew filled with rich and aromatic flavors from the depth of Colombia, nor did it have the [insert all coffee descriptions] of [insert all foreign coffee producing places]. It was simply a good, solid, morning (afternoon, in my case) cup of joe. AND courtesy of my server, I never saw the bottom of my coffee mug. Keep them refills coming. Needless to say I was very well (read: excessively) caffeinated for the remaining afternoon. Then came the food. Delicious. Sausage, eggs, cheese, hash brown on English muffin, all topped off with a generous serving of gravy. I personally didn't think the combination of everything was too much. It was just enough flavor to hit the spot, and not so much that it goes over the top. The sweet spot. I just had dinner, writing this makes me want it again. I devoured it. First post, lengthy post. Thanks for reading, happy to share!

    A local surprise. We were on our way to a 3 star lunch, spotted this place and decided to try it. Solid 4 star food & 5 star service. Lots of regulars were served while we ate. The food is good, service outstanding & very friendly. Give the cinnamon rolls with nuts a try... Yum!

    Hopefully they were having an off day?

    Bacon was just the way I like it. Rest of the breakfast (Colony Combo) was good. Service was excellent. Will be back.

    We visited because of all the amazing reviews. Thank you to the patrons!…read moreThe vibe is amazing. Families, couples, kids all enjoying brunch. Chatter and laughter all around. The service was excellent. Very friendly bunch. As per the suggestions in the reviews, we tried the banana bread which comes with strawberry compote and whipped cream. It was delicious. We also ordered the iced coffee and espresso. Our only regret was, we didn't have our kid with us. They would've enjoyed the visit too. Hope to return with them some day.

The tables are pretty close together & isn't as spacious. It's normally crowded during the weekend. When we got there we weren't sure if we had to wait to get seated or just grab a seat. Since no one acknowledged us, we just grab a seat at an empty table. After we sat down, someone came & gave us a menu. I got the egg benedict with bacon. It was unique that it came with sourdough instead of english muffin. Overall the egg benedict was alright. The sourdough gave the dish a sour taste. I didn't like the salad that it came with & some of the leaves weren't fresh. For my drink, I got the aussie iced coffee & it's nothing special. It's pretty much an affogato & tasted just like milk. I also tried the T.A.G big breaky. It wasn't as big as I would expected & it was a little overpriced for the amount you get. The sausage was very dry & overcooked, but everything else was good.

Our server, Karis, seemed more interested in showing her friends the new book she was reading than taking care of her tables. We had to wait while she talked with them, and throughout our visit she was constantly running around. Every time we finally spotted her, she would walk away before we had a chance to ask for anything. We ordered two croissants, but they didn't arrive together. One was brought out first, and the second didn't come until our meals were served. By that time, our food was cold, and we had already lost our appetite. Overall, the service was very poor, the food was cold, and it was a frustrating dining experience. Unfortunately, we won't be returning based on this visit.

It has a good vibe and feeling, The decor is simple, but has an urban charm. Pam was my waitress and she was nice. For food we tried the Collard Greens and Mac & Cheese. We also tried original wings and lemon pepper wings. 4 STARS - The Chicken was fried nicely and well seasoned. The original wings were great. However, the lemon pepper didn't really work. It lacked some lemon pepper flavor. They were still good and fried well. 4 STARS - The greens were perfectly seasoned and yummy. I would get these again. Mac & Cheese it needs a little work. It was just a little too oily/greasy for our liking. I did share this with the owner who seemed to take feedback well. I will rate this after I try it again to see if any improvement. 4 STARS The drinks were tasty. The frozen Hurricane was refreshing. My mom enjoyed this cocktail and thought it very tasty. I tried it and totally agree. Strawberry Henny was my favorite and tasted good. Overall I had a good experience. I know they are new and still working out the tiny kinks. I think they are off to a great start. I enjoyed the music playing. I left feeling satisfied. I don't repeat often, but I will be back. I am a fan and wish them the best. The food and culture with a splash of soul will make this place even better!
