Amazing café with a great atmosphere for studying or hanging out. It genuinely feels like a little spot in Italy. The coffee and food are excellent, I always get a latte and the Caprese with added avocado, and it’s easily the best pesto panini I’ve had in DFW. The staff is super friendly and helpful with recommendations, and the owner is often there making sure everything runs smoothly. Highly recommend checking this place out.
Felt the texture is more like the ice cream... Not a authentic Gelato. They were too busy to keep the quality during the soft opening.
Went during 50% off grand opening weekend, they were busy , seemed overwhelmed and ill prepared, tables were sitting there dirty for 10+ minutes, we cleaned it ourselves, sat & waited for our food for over 30 minutes, just for it to come out with my salmon avocado smash without the salmon, overcooked "poach" egg (as seen in photo), cold cookie that was supposed to have been warmed, and a stale croissant, when we brought up the missing salmon with the staff the response from her was "did you want me to take it back?", was a little taken aback since it wasn't our fault our order was missing, I kindly asked/instructed her to just provide us with the salmon that we'd ordered. If it were only the service lacking as they've just opened, I would understand, but unfortunately the food was a big fail for us that day.
This is truly an authentic taste of Italy! We ordered a vegan panini, Dalia’s cappuccino, a Nutella Croissant, and some Gelato. Everything was great tasting and the gelato had lots of options and tasted naturally flavored. The vegan panini had tofu which was a nice surprise and the panini bread was fresh and The cappuccino was a delicious mix of sweetness with notes of heat and cinnamon. We were able to print our photos on the cappuccinos which was really cool!
Great local find with delicious coffee, gelato, and savory foods. Cozy ambience to linger over a cup of coffee ☕️ and a good book 📕, or that date night over wine🍷🍷. Staff is friendly and welcoming as well! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
