Whether you crave the perfect cortado or just want a cozy spot to catch up with friends, Southlake’s coffee shop scene has something for every kind of caffeine lover. From tucked-away gems to bright, bustling cafés, the variety here goes far beyond basic brews and pastries.
Let’s get to it.
XO Press
You’ll find XO Press on the ground floor of an office building in Southlake, but the setting doesn’t feel office-block sterile. Inside, a relaxed, just-cozy-enough atmosphere suits a Monday morning meeting or that quiet stretch around two o’clock when you grab a wall outlet and settle in. There’s plenty of seating, reliable Wi-Fi, and décor that feels modern without fuss.
Their drink menu covers all the essentials: cappuccinos, lattes, flat whites and a robust cold brew selection. Oat milk is popular here, though you can also choose coconut or almond milk. A variety of syrups, sauces, cold foam and whipped cream elevate your order exactly as you like. Non-coffee drinkers will appreciate matcha lattes served hot or frappé style, iced chai tea lattes with genuine tea notes, and a solid tea lineup.
XO Press is operated by XO Marriage Center, and the staff match that welcoming spirit. They open early on weekdays and close come Saturday, which means easier parking and no weekend rush. It’s the kind of spot where you can get real work done or simply unwind over a well-crafted drink.
D’CARAMEL PATISSERIE
Step inside D’CARAMEL PATISSERIE and you’ll find a Parisian bakery tucked into a former medical office in Southlake. The aroma of freshly baked croissants fills the air, and behind the counter you’ll watch chef Anna Narinian’s team roll, twist and proof authentic French pastries in plain sight. Each croissant shatters at the edge, thanks to long fermentation and premium French butter. Kouign-amanns and brioche expand your breakfast definition in the best way.
There’s more to see than pastries. A gingerbread Eiffel Tower and a chocolate carousel add visual drama and Instagram appeal. Counter service keeps the flow moving quickly since there’s no seating for laptops—you’ll have to choose between a pastry or your keyboard. Prices reflect quality, with croissants starting at $4.50 and specialty pastries approaching $9. Locally sourced Texas dairy partners with European techniques to deliver crisp layers and rich flavors. At D’CARAMEL PATISSERIE, every detail from the fold of dough to the dusting of flour shows a commitment to classic French baking.
Wesley Cafe
At Wesley Cafe, you won’t get big-city coffee affectations or hidden speakeasy pretenses. It feels like walking into a friend’s bright kitchen where Avoca beans from Dallas are always brewing and drip refills cost nothing.
The café sits inside White’s Chapel UMC, but it holds its own personality. An espresso bar offers lattes, dirty chais, and a honey-vanilla London Fog. Loose-leaf teas share the menu with homemade pastries and affordable lunch options. Almost everything runs under ten dollars.
Inside, padded armchairs, café tables, and a shady back patio invite you to stay. Reliable Wi-Fi and plentiful outlets make remote work easy. Parents appreciate the indoor play area while specialty holiday train displays move through from time to time.
Far from a standalone shop, Wesley Cafe blends into the church lobby. This warm, welcoming spot keeps things simple. You get quality coffee, tasty bites, and a soft place to land.
Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café
Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café delivers a Parisian bistro feel in Southlake Town Square with chandeliers and string lights overhead. The bright, airy space makes dining on a $17 crêpe feel special. The menu splits evenly between sweet and savory crêpes: Nutella Dream, Apple Cinnamon Crème Brûlée, Chicken Alfredo and The Vegan all earn their spots.
Beyond crêpes, you’ll find paninis, fresh salads, omelettes, Belgian waffles and a build-your-own breakfast option. The drink list is just as varied: espresso, Nutella lattes, iced strawberry matcha, a full chai selection and Moroccan mint tea. Milkshakes border on dessert while mimosas and spiced cider add a festive touch.
Ordering happens at the counter, then staff deliver dishes to your table. Sweet Paris is a small, locally owned chain that runs an “Eat Here, Feed There” program supporting local food banks. Generous portion sizes encourage sharing, and the mid-range pricing matches the upscale café vibe. Quality ingredients, attentive service and a genuine Parisian touch keep diners coming back.
Parlor Doughnuts
Walking into Parlor Doughnuts, you notice blue cabinets, gold fixtures and black-and-white checked floors that show someone cared about design. Natural light floods the space, fully wheelchair accessible and easy to find in a Southlake retail strip with free parking.
Coffee here uses single-origin beans, micro-roasted on site by Proper Coffee or supplied fresh to Southlake. The menu reads like a coffee handbook: Red Eye, Mayan mocha, maple brown sugar latte and more. If you skip coffee, you’ll find tea, old-school sodas, hot chocolate and even a strawberry açaí refresher.
The real showstoppers are croissant-style layered doughnuts. These aren’t regular doughnuts but flaky, stacked creations that range from classic French Toast to adventurous Raspberry Pistachio and vegan or keto versions. Breakfast tacos and avocado toast fill out the menu, but those doughnuts steal the spotlight. Most tables have outlets so you can plug in, but be prepared—one of these doughnuts might make getting work done a delicious challenge.
Great Harvest Bread Co.
At Great Harvest Bread Co., you enter a spacious café in a Southlake strip center where “everyone’s welcome” really applies. The décor is relaxed, with ample room to chat with friends or set up a laptop. You won’t find pretension here, just wood-fired warmth and fresh bread scents.
The bakery mills whole-wheat flour on site and bakes every loaf daily. Their display features buttery biscuits, oversized cinnamon rolls you’ll want to share, and pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. Sandwiches on house-made bread turn grab-and-go lunch into a treat, while breakfast fans can choose egg sandwiches served on a biscuit or fresh loaf. Coffee comes from Avoca Coffee Roasters, with drip options alongside mochas and vanilla lattes. Iced tea and hot chocolate round out the non-caffeinated lineup.
Prices are approachable—most drinks fall between $3 and $5—and the overall feel is neighborly. Local ownership and a community focus make this more than a pit stop. It’s the kind of place you revisit not just for the bread but for the easy-going vibe that greets you each time.
La La Land Kind Cafe
La La Land Kind Café in Southlake stands out with bright yellow décor and a mission that goes beyond coffee. Every cup supports foster youth programs through the La La Foundation, so your lavender latte habit backs real community work. Bold murals and a solid playlist set a vibrant tone while reliable Wi-Fi and plenty of outlets keep you connected.
The drink menu mixes espresso classics with signature creations such as Butterfly Matcha, Cookies n’ Dream, and the CBD-infused Purple Rain. Ask for their cloud foam topping to add extra texture. Tea options include golden saffron chai and a collaboration brew from lululemon. House coffee comes from organic beans roasted by partner roasters. For nitro cold brew fans, expect a long-lasting jolt.
Food choices look as good as they taste: avocado toast, hazelnut fruit toast, and light bites made for a quick snack or light meal. Prices start around three dollars for simple drinks and reach just over seven for specialty lattes. Wheelchair accessible seating and a welcoming atmosphere reinforce the café’s #KindnessIsCurrency approach.
Black Rock Coffee Bar
At Black Rock Coffee Bar in Southlake, big energy drives both drinks and atmosphere. This 2,500-square-foot spot has served the area since 2021, complete with a lively playlist and a Texas-themed mural. It caters mostly to drive-through traffic, so you get fast service and a robust rewards program.
Inside, communal tables fill the room, but outlets can be scarce. If you plan to camp out with a laptop, snagging a socket is not guaranteed. The menu includes espresso classics from cortados to mochas, drip coffee, and a range of house-roasted beans. You will also find the “Fuel” energy drink lineup, including flavors like Frozen Mai Tai Fuel, as well as organic teas, matcha, smoothies, and lemonade.
Hungry visitors can choose jalapeño cheddar bagels, breakfast sandwiches, and tempting doughnut holes. Prices align with major chains. Wi-Fi works most of the time. Whether you zoom through the drive-through window or stay inside to soak up the community vibe, this coffee bar delivers on speed, choice, and a high-octane mood.
Corner Bakery
Corner Bakery offers a versatile menu that blends breakfast and lunch in one spot. This chain retains neighborhood bakery roots by roasting beans in-house and using open-flame ovens. Mornings bring pancakes, scramblers, and wraps made to order, while sandwiches, panini, soups, and salads round out the midday options. The bakery counter displays cookies, muffins, and generous brownies.
Coffee lovers find hand-roasted beans, slow-steeped cold brew, and a full espresso bar. Even decaf comes from Sumatra, which feels like a step above the usual diner carafe. The communal tables and counter service create a laid-back vibe that guests appreciate, especially when patio seating is open.
Prices sit in the mid-range. You will pay for quality ingredients, but it won’t break the bank. The café opens daily from 7 am to 9 pm, and breakfast items never disappear from the menu. Whether you stop by for early eggs or an after-work brownie, this bakery chain keeps its atmosphere welcoming and its offerings reliably fresh.
