It is rare to see a coffee shop with 5 stars because everyone has personal preferences for what…read morethey think is a good coffee. It's like pizza reviews! Glancing through the reviews, it all has been said already but I'll reinforce it. :) With our remote working life, we are staying close by on Lake Tawakoni. We like being social so where ever we are, we try to hang out in a coffee shop for the local experience and we were so happy for the experience at Reka's! Other reviewers were right... Reka and Bert are wonderful people! We felt right at home and were very welcomed. The coffee is delicious, with flavors and varying level of strength. I opted for Starter Fluid... a very bold roast with a high caffeine level. Most dark roasts are bitter but this wasn't at all! We sat comfortably in the "living room" area, wifi strong and power available to keep the laptop going. After one cup, we decided to partake in some of their baked goods deliciousness. OMG The double chocolate muffin! They also have other options such as scones, quiches and klobasneks. We will be consuming those on lunch! Thanks Bert and gang for letting us hang out! We will definitely be back!

Hummus is very good and the vegetables were a great offset to the sandwiches. There are also options to pay for some board games.

I didn't try the food, but I was pretty impressed with the coffee. They use actual coffee ice for…read moretheir iced drinks. (Ice, made out of coffee, so your coffee doesn't get watered down) They also have a real espresso machine unlike some others I've found. The service was really nice and they answered all my questions even though they were really busy. They have a drive through also which is very nice. The building is a converted house, and therefore the dining room isn't huge, but it was a nice size and the tables aren't too close together. The name of the business is missing a comma, because it should be Grandma's Kitchen, Bakery and Coffee as they have a full breakfast and lunch menu. I look forward to coming back and trying their food as well.

Darling gift shop curated with all the it-girl things, the most creative coffee and tea menu I've ever seen and seriously y'all - seriously the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had.

I had the carbonara, and honestly, it was almost too pretty to eat. The service was a little slow, but it actually gave us time to soak in the atmosphere and admire how beautiful the restaurant is inside. The vibe? Absolutely check. The cocktails were not our favorite, but that definitely won't stop us from coming back to try other drinks on the menu. What makes this place even more special is that it's a true mom-and-pop restaurant sourcing food locally. You really can't beat that. Supporting local while getting an amazing meal is always a win.
