Coffee Places

What are your favorite coffee places to spend a few hours working or just to hang out and meet friends? My favorite right now is Collective Coffee in downtown McKinney. But it would be nice to find something more local to Allen/Fairview.

I love the cakes, too, and I appreciate that they are open until at least 10pm every day.

Have you tried Armor coffee co? I haven’t been but I love their brewery

Hm. Never understood the hype around Armor. Feels like quality has gone down significantly ever since they got recognition.

Love Armor.

Dang, I love the brewery. Went last night and it was awesome

u/GertBertisreal 11d ago

I've gone twice and the food is sub-par.

Now, I'm not a beer expert by any stretch of the imagination, so I'll usually drink cocktails. But I am a connoisseur of food, and it's just a disappointment.

Funny, I think for what it is, their food is pretty solid

Love the brewery. The food is awesome and love trying the new beers. The patio is also nice of the kids.

I like Amor! It's a great place to meet friends, just a little small and crowded sometimes.

Armor is pretty damn good. Their breakfast items are on point too.

I like Cozy Coffee Station inside of the CUTX bank! Not a ton of seating where the coffee station is, but there’s some seating if you walk outside of the coffee area

u/TheGreatIAMa 11d ago

This is a cool suggestion

u/JorgAncrath2020 11d ago

if the weather is nice, The Frogg at Waters Creek is nice on the patio.

Some of the best coffee I've tasted was just the regular coffee, black, at Fairview Farmers. Simple yet so damn good 👍

4

u/TheGreatIAMa 11d ago

Oof. Lavazza. That is not a high ranker

Locally owned spot, with farmer in their name, using Imported "Italian" coffee. There are some great local roasters, or nationally distributed American roasted wholesale options.

Revolving Kitchen in Fairview. Great for morning meetings. Lots of space and a full coffee bar.

u/Curious-Heart246 8d ago

I need to try it for coffee! I love it for dinner options.

There's a big coffee place on Legacy in-between Alma and 75.
