Caffe Promenade

Great coffee, great pricing, friendly staff, clean and cozy atmosphere. What more could you want from a coffee shop? They had a delicious smelling selection of fresh donuts too (although I didn't try any). Definitely will come back here again.

Was looking to try a different take on a donut. Mochinuts were amazing and a new experience. Matcha was my favorite choice.

Favorite cafe ever! Best donuts ever! Their icings are so yummy and I don’t think I would think to say that about another donut shop. But the strawberry and chocolate ones are my FAV! Okay but mostly, their hot chocolate is THE BEST EVER! You have to try it Blended! Or more commonly called Frozen Hot Chocolate! I have never tried a hot chocolate recipe that is like this one! They better never close cause I need this in my life. I also love their Peach or Mango Snows in the summer! They also have yummy cake and cheesecake (when available). The inside is BEAUTIFUL. I’ve been going since they opened when I was in high school.

Updating this review Aug 2021.

They no longer serve donuts. Or cinnamon rolls. They now offer mochi style donuts, which are rubbery and just not what I (or any donut lover) is looking for.

Previously their cake donuts, glazed and chocolate, and cinnamon rolls were fantastic here. They were so tasty that they would regularly sell out before close. Why would you stop serving that? Why you wouldn't try to slowly integrate these newer items in with your bestsellers instead of just immediately alienating your customer base?

This is such a bad move... the current selection was limited and unappetizing. Nothing is labeled so you have to communicate with a less than enthusiastic employee through thick masks and loud AC fans what type a muffin is at the bottom of the container.

Then you find out it's just the same generic thing they serve as "Continental Breakfast" at Motels.

It's complimentary at motels but here two iced coffees and two muffins will set you back 15 dollars!

I'm so bummed, I would go out of my way to get breakfast items here... but now there is no such incentive.

Review From 2020 -

The iced vanilla latte and cinnamon roll were absolutely delicious. Unique flavors and it wasn't the usual donut shop ingredients. Friendly, upbeat service. Drive-thru is a great concept. Highly recommend!

Solid neighborhood coffee shop that has been around for a while. After a few visits, you will see some familiar faces and book clubs come in. Internet will require you to ask for a password, but is reasonably fast. Sometimes it is only staffed with a single person, so be patient if you hit a busy time. Coffee is good (milk teas are too), but getting a conversation or work done here is pleasant.

Absolutely LOVE this place! My favorite drink is the hot chocolate with Caramel syrup. If you let them know you don’t want it super hot they can make it the perfect temperature for you to enjoy immediately rather than waiting for it to cool down. They have pretty much everything Starbucks has but shorter lines and nice decor! I like to come here when I want to catch up with friends but not be in a loud crowded place like Starbucks.

I have been coming here for years! I would come hang out here when I was in college trying to study or take a test and when I wanted to just hang out with a couple friends! They have free WiFi, comfy chairs and tables with plenty of laptop/book/paperwork space.

They sell muffins, croissants and kolaches too. Donuts, coffee and breakfast items galore!

Nice place in Allen! Friendly barista, nice seating areas to get some work done. Drive through bell is a bit loud and jarring unfortunately, feels a bit out of place in an otherwise low key spot. Coffee was surprisingly good! Decent food selection.

Just walking up to this coffee house you get the feeling that you're not welcome. Signs all over the door stating what is NOT allowed and not a single sign saying come on in. The owners should re-evaluate their porch appeal.
No loitering and no public restrooms at coffee house? You might as well be a coffee shack for drive-through only.

I hate to give an independent coffee shop a bad review but the espresso I ordered is so visibly burnt and smells so burnt (and tastes so burnt) there's no way they couldn't tell before they gave it to me.

The coffee drink i had there was quite good. When a lot of places make cappuccino they scorch the milk and add too much. This was perfect. I wish they used real cups instead of to go cups when you eat in. Donuts were fresh. Would have given 4 stars, but they have a 30.06 sign in the window.
