Best Restaurants for a Date in Dallas | Eater Dallas

"Looking for a classic, easy coffee date? Rose Cafe off the Katy Trail is the spot. The aesthetics in here are top-notch; the patio tables that face out to the trail make for great people-watching and have cozy, overstuffed pillow cushions to sit on. The options for coffee run the spectrum from simple to fancy, so if your date wants a lavender latte but you’re a drip person, you can both get what you want. If you hit it off, Rose Cafe also has light bites and wines. There is free underground parking in the building." - Rachel Pinn

The Best New Restaurants in Dallas, March 2025

"Rose Cafe, which sits adjacent to Le PasSage, shares the restaurant’s French and Asian DNA. Serving coffee, pastries, breakfast, and lunch — as well as numerous wine and cocktail options — since its opening in October, it’s a sunny space with a patio looking on to the Katy Trail. Stop in for a little treat or to soak in the sunshine off the tree-lined trail over a bite." - Courtney E. Smith

The Best Breakfast Restaurants in Dallas | Eater Dallas

"Rose Cafe is one of Dallas’s newest hot spots, right on the Katy Trail. It’s a great place for a lighter breakfast, with incredible pastries, tons of drink choices, and some Asian-inflected breakfast dishes. Get congee (savory rice porridge, chicken, poached egg, scallions, pickled daikon, and chili oil) or the Sunrise Bowl (red quinoa, almonds, sauteed spinach, and tamari egg). There is ample free parking in the garage under the building." - Courtney E. Smith

Rose Café on Katy Trail is an absolute standout. The atmosphere is warm and stylish—ideal for a relaxing break or casual bite. The food was fresh and full of flavor, and the drinks were well curated. Service was friendly and efficient, and the patio offered the perfect spot to enjoy the trail energy without feeling rushed. Can’t wait to come back!

The atmosphere is absolutely wonderful. And I really like the staff. I've been waited on by David twice now. Very chill, yet courteous. Update: I’ve explored the menu more. Try the Banh Mi! The pastries are also good. I still wish the hibiscus tea was more impressive or cheaper. Also I wish the pours on the beer were larger but they do have a nice selection.

10/10 recommend! We’ve been twice in the last 2 weeks and were equally impressed + anticipating the next visit. We ordered an iced oat milk latte and an iced oat milk matcha with a bit of honey. Rome made our drinks perfectly. We also ordered the butter croissant and it was top tier. Eric walked us through the café menu and recommended we try the Ube Lemonade. He was very helpful and we look forward to trying more of the menu items.

Great cafe off of Katy Trail with a lovely patio and outdoor bar area facing the trail. The bar has plenty of outlets, making it a perfect spot to pull out your laptop while having some coffee, wine or food. Love the unique cocktails and food.

Wasn’t impressed, don’t think I’d come back. The sauces could be better. It’s really cute but the food and drinks could use improvement. Loved the little panda chopsticks holder.

After a long ride in Katy trail we decided to stop for an early dinner at this beautiful cafe. Great decision! Peaceful environment, great vibes and decor, casual and classy. Excellent food and friendly service.

The croissants are the best in Dallas, hands-down! Highly recommend bao buns, peasant bowl, and spring rolls. It’s on the pricier side but so worth it.

Lovely cafe off the Katy trail at the terminal, great variety of pastries and delicious coffee and matcha! Great ambiance and outdoor seating, decor was very nice. Staff is still trying to figure out service so being really specific with orders and being patient will help a lot with the experience. Overall excited for it to only get better from here and will be back! Highly recommend the pastries and coffee/matcha!

Location North Katy Trail-Knox-Henderson Parking We were walking the trail so not sure but we parked between lemmon and blackburn Atmosphere Classy-a bit asian/french. Service Attentive, friendly Seating Outside bar, patio couches and tables, inside bar-stools Menu Appetizers, salads, full bar-bakery. We had the spring rolls-excellent! Served with fresh romaine leaves and basil-rolled spring roll up in it as directed. The orange sauce on the side-a bit runny for me but good. Full bar and specialty cocktails. Beer is 12 ounce. Wine list good. Summary Love this classy spot on the trail-chill and great menu! Best spring rolls ever!! Fresh veggies! See you there!!

Came back to try the iced matcha latte. Service was meh. It looks like a bunch of us just waiting around to order. It might be the air itself that workers are frustrated. It took some time to place an order. I ordered that matcha morning bun and an iced matcha latte while milk. The bun was gushing out green matcha. It was ok. The matcha drink was absolutely disappointing. It literally tasted like drank dyed whole milk. This altogether was for almost 18$. The drink itself was 10$. For that price, this had to be a good drink. Absolutely not. Will never come back for the matcha quality tbh. It can get pretty busy and crowded inside.

The perfect spot for a rainy working sesh does exist! And it just might be here at Rose Cafe! For starters, the ambiance. The cafe sits right off the Katy Trail, perfect for even sunny days when you're walking with friends or even a pup and need a pick me up! The vibe inside is decked in beautiful green and pink hues making it super cozy. We decided to sit on their covered patio, and bc it was rainy, it was super relaxing. We didn't enjoy any food, BUT we because we came for a working sesh, we decided on coffee and matcha. My friend got their strawberry iced matcha and she loved it. I decided on getting their honey lavender latte. It was so delicious and came in the cutest cup! I will say their pricing is on the higher end, but as expected being it's located on the Katy Trail. I also found out they made the Lavender Honey syrup in house! Overall a great experience! We will definitely be back for food!

I've given this place three chances, and unfortunately, it keeps missing the mark. The iced latte was disappointing every time--no one in our group enjoyed it, and at $9 a cup, that's a tough sell. On my third visit, we switched things up and tried the Butterfly Pea Lemonade, but it was so overwhelmingly tart it was almost undrinkable. That said, the buildout is absolutely stunning--easily one of the best interior designs I've seen from Travis Street Hospitality (or anyone, for that matter) in 2024. The space itself is beautiful, but unfortunately, it seems like they're still ironing out some serious logistical challenges. For a café located in one of the busiest pedestrian areas in the city, it's shocking how poorly the experience flows. Some major issues: The layout doesn't accommodate a line--there's no clear space for customers to wait to order or pick up their drinks. How was this overlooked during such a meticulous buildout? On my first couple of visits, the bar area was cluttered with syrup bottles and other random stuff, making it look chaotic and disorganized for the baristas. On my most recent visit, they seemed to have cleaned it up, so maybe that's a sign of progress. I haven't tried their pastries yet, and they do look promising, so I'd consider coming back just for that. But when your main product is coffee, and you're positioned as a key spot for Katy Trail walkers and Dallas locals, the drinks shouldn't be this bad. Not sure if there's any hope of this place closing and transitioning to a new concept, especially since Travis Street Hospitality has a deal with the Terminal--they also lease the space next door for Le Pasage. But I really want this place to succeed. I'd gladly drop $10 on an iced drink every time I walk the trail--if only it were actually good.

Casual, relaxing, and, stylish is this cafe along Katy Trail. A great stop after my KT walks and a lovely spot this makes for a tête-a-tête in the afternoons or early evenings. Amazing is their takeout service. I've returned many times in the mornings already for their unique and delicious pastries, including their "Matcha Morning Bun" and "Mushroom Croissant"! CHEERS!

Gorgeous cafe with a French aesthetic. We dined in with our puppy on a Saturday afternoon. They were packed but we were seated quickly, the tables are very close together and no one minded the pup. Ordered the fried shrimp sandwich - SO GOOD. It comes with a pineapple sauce that brings a bit of heat, the sandwich is great with and without it. Ordered the chocolate croissant to go, it was fresh and well made. Service was slower and water wasn't filled timely as there was only one waiter working 6- tables but we didn't mind, we were dining during prime hours. Removed one star bc the food and drinks are oddly overpriced for the items and portions received. It's a lovely place to enjoy a quick bite and I liked how they offer pistachio milk as a milk selection at their coffee bar. Will be back!!

This place was beautiful, and the coffee and breakfast taco were so good. The owner was super sweet. This is right off the Katy Trail so you can grab a coffee and walk as well. There's not a lot of Cambodian and French owned influenced places in Dallas, so please come check it out and support.

This pairing is a matcha made in heaven. 10/10 would order again. Excellent customer service! Bonus: it's just steps from the Katy Trail, making it a great post-walk treat spot. Great matcha, great energy, great location. Will definitely be back!

I had a great time at the Rose Cafe. I got a pan au chocolate and a latte both of which were excellent. The pan au chocolate was well and not overly dry with a great balance of chocolate to pastry. The latte also tasted high quality. Service was friendly and the ambiance was nice. Although it is a bit expensive, I would recommend stopping by here.

I absolutely love this restaurant! I have only eaten here for lunch, but every time it has been delicious! I do wish they'd bring back my spicy beef salad, though... It is the best thing on their menu! But in the meantime, I have tried multiple other things. The Banh Mi is also very, very good! The Rose Chicken salad is delicious and this time I tried the Poké bowl, which was very good, however, I would say in my opinion it needs a little more flavor maybe some crispy garlic chips or some edamame, something... it just needs a little something else. We also tried the Pork Shoulder Bao...yum! Since we were feeling thirsty we also tried a Matcha Latte which was really good and I am sure that my man Rome made it for us. If you haven't met Rome, you need to meet Rome. He's fabulous! The other thing I love about this restaurant is it has indoor and outdoor seating. You can sit at the bar on the inside alleyway of the terminal building or you can sit on the complete opposite side also outside but on the side patio or you can sit inside, which is completely open to the outside or you can sit at the bar...doesn't matter where you said it's all great!

Wanted to love it and I recently gave a great review to their sister restaurant Le PasSage. Food was good but nothing to write home about. The size of some breakfast items was criminal for the price (K trail toast). Vibe is gorgeous and service is very kind, but I'd say that's the best part about it.

I keep coming back and the place is always a miss. I just love the fact that it's on the Katy trail but even their customer service isn't good and they aren't friendly.

I was only in Dallas for a week on vacation and this was one of my most frequent spots! I enjoy running and exploring and this cafe is right on katy trail. Go for a run, stop in for a coffee, and grab some breakfast. The staff were very friendly and it is a very homey place. I got an iced latte and tried the delicious croissants. I recommend if you're running or doing activities on the trail!

This is the perfect breakfast spot! Everything you would want and the charm of always being an antique store! Who doesn't love that!! Everyone in Ormond needs to come eat breakfast here!!

We live 400ft on the trail from this place and we're delighted to finally have a cafe just steps away. The lattes are exquisite! The spring rolls are my favorite dish and my husband loves the banh mi sandwich. The coconut bowl is ok but not my favorite item. Highly recommend any of their pastries, they're all delicious. The service is wonderful every time but just be patient as they get incredibly busy on a nice day and I see they do their best to accommodate everyone.

This is my first ever yelp review my experience at this place was so terrible. The operations were a nightmare and it took everybody there about 10 minutes to even find where the line was. On top of that it took us 30 minutes to get two coffees and the coffees were the worst coffees I have bought out in my life. I would never go here again or recommended to a friend.

The restaurant is pretty, but the food is overpriced for what you receive. For $12, you can get a burnt croissant with one piece of ham and one piece of cheese on it, plus tip and tax. With a latte, it'll run you $25 per person for a coffee and a croissant...and you'll be left hungry. Not worth it.

I really wanted to like the Rose Cafe. There are quite a few kinks to work out as they've just opened, and I understand. However, it wasn't a fun experience for us. Pure chaos, treated like we weren't paying customers, waited forever for our pastries, and no one came to wait on us...ever. It's adorable, and you will LOVE the atmosphere--a euro callback where everyone is elbow to elbow in a beautiful environment, right on the Katy trail. The pastries are top notch--we had the matcha morning bun and the maja Blanca. We were obsessed with the maja Blanca. The coffee was really not great...it mostly tasted like milk and syrup and maybe little to no espresso. When we arrived, there was seating on the patio with signage that stated it's for those ordering meals. As we were too late for breakfast, we were planning to just do pastries and coffee, so we sat at the tables inside with no signage. We found someone at the bar who gave us attention and orders (unclear where to order). We waited for a while and got thirsty. After no clarity on where to find water, I asked a lady behind the bar and she mentioned someone would be waiting on us (we'd been sitting already for 30 min and no one ever came to talk to us). After another few minutes, we asked about our pastries and were finally given them. While my husband was doing that, a gentleman came over to tell a lady near me that the tables are for dining customers only. Coffee customers aren't allowed there, so we got up and found seating along the trail. Communication or signage prior would have been helpful (or getting waited on). Instead, it felt like we were getting kicked out. Not a fun experience. I'm sure they'll work out the kinks, but for now, it wasn't super positive.

I was so excited to try out Rose Cafe as I'm always looking for great coffee shops in the Dallas area. The building and interior were beautifully decorated giving an Italian cafe aesthetic; however, that's the best highlight of the experience. Staff was nice, but nothing notable and not super welcoming. As a new restaurant, I would expect more friendly guidance and greeting. We ordered breakfast tacos, hot chocolate, and a mochachino. Everything was very mediocre in flavor and could've been made at home better. The chocolate wasn't fully mixed into the mochaccino and there was no "flair" to the drink and was a basic chocolate milk with coffee in a plain glass. The hot chocolate had a nice aesthetic as the cup and the froth had similar color but I expected more attention to detail (whipped cream, chocolate shavings, etc.) for $6. The breakfast tacos were $7 each ($10 each if you add bacon) & were mediocre at best. There are many breakfast tacos in the area that are much more flavorful for way less. All in all, if you are looking for an instagrammable spot, you are in luck. If you are looking for great quality food & coffee, I would recommend elsewhere.

Cutest cafe! Ambiance is great, with a fun view of the Katy Trail. Pastries were lovely, but the matcha was not worth the high price. Would go back to try other items, but just know it isn't cheap!

Drinks never consistent - $9 for a tea for it to taste different each time. Sucks because it is the cutest place along the trail. Staff not particularly friendly either.

Went on a Tuesday Morning. Sign says to speak to host to sit outside, but I went inside and saw no sign for host so I sat at the bar. Took a while to get acknowledged. Menu is over priced and to me, lacked actual food. Just pastries and yogurt. And then there was the taco I got. I added bacon for three dollars. It probably had a half a slice chopped up in there. Which brought the total without tax to $10. I know rent is expensive but wow. I finished the little taco before my coffee ever came. Not sure that I will be back.

Brian P.

Yelp
So we went back and had drinks. This place is ridiculously overpriced. $6 for a pint is inline with the area, but here it's a short pour, maybe 12oz. The drinks were $18 each, thats no where near the going rate. Plus there was no A/C and the service dropped off badly too.

Alyssa R.

Yelp
Tried this place 3 times, the third was not a charm. It was actually miserable. Everyone who works here is nasty to you, and complains about their job while you're eating your 17$ croissant they refuse to get you a water if your not "dining" even when your tab is 50$+ for 3 items. You must purchase an $8 water that comes in a sweaty glass bottle. They need new employees. All rude as hell and hate their jobs.

Joshua M.

Staff refused to hand out ice water to go in plastic cup. Even when I offered to pay. Instead wanted to sell me a $8 glass of water. (Ridiculous.) Also, Matcha was terrible.

We waited 2 hours to have brunch here on a Saturday and were very underwhelmed. Brunch menu ends at 11am. We were forced to eat from lunch menu which barely had any hot food items. We had the steak salad, bao & summer rolls. They were out of the ham & cheese croissant one of the few hot items. Food was ok not great. Drinks were good but strong & expensive.

Waited 20 minutes for the worst matcha latte I've ever had. Customer service was terrible too.

So I ordered an iced matcha latte with sugar free vanilla and cinnamon and a chocolate croissant and the total was 17 something, like how ?? Then I get my drink and I didn't taste it until I was already to the car and it literally tastes like WATER. And on top of all that the place was so overwhelmingly busy. Like if that's your vibe then cool but I will sure not be coming back here ever again. Wouldn't recommend this place at all. And I don't usually leave reviews but this place was terrible.

Janet G.

Vanilla latte was just okay. Took a while to get. It's a very cute place and right in the Katy trail.

Just opened .. however from the moment you walk in you know u r somewhere exceptional. The atmosphere, the food and the service takes you out of Dallas and delivers you to some exotic location... as it's just opened I'm excited to see how it progresses as they get the kinks out of it.

$9 for a latte and the coffee tastes bitter and burnt...? No thanks! Save your time and money, there are much better places in the same neighborhood. Way overhyped

Kristie C.

This place is over priced, poor service, and poor food quality. I was dining in and I ordered 2 tea sandwiches and they came out in saran wrap. For sit down service I should not have to unwrap a pre-made sandwich. They also weren't fresh. The service was subpar. Our waiter never checked on us and then when it was time for the bill he told us it was $77. We ordered one coffee, two tea sandwiches, & one croissant. Obviously, it is the wrong bill. This place is a waste of money. Go to Toulouse on Knox Street instead.

Kristen G.

Yelp
I think the location and ambience is the star of the show for this particular venue. Located in an upscale high-rise right off the Katie Trail I'm sure it's where all the trendy people have breakfast or brunch. The service was attentive but in terms of the food I think what they have there is good but the menu is pretty limited.

Stephen R.

Yelp
Really great service. Location is good with nice ambiance. Enjoyed our coffee but will skip food next time. Dumplings were cold and clearly not steamed in the basket. This place is new so will try again as they continue to work out the kinks.

- Tacos lacked flavor and overpriced. We were asked if we wanted to add bacon, which we said yes to. 4 slices of bacon was 12$, we could have easily just split an order. With the added bacon, each taco cost $15 per. Not to mention we weren't provided salsa to accompany the taco. Entire meal including tip was $55 (2 tacos and 2 coffees). - Service was incredibly slow. It took about 10-15 minutes to just order our coffees. We were also served our food with no utensils and no one really checked in for another 15-20 mins. I had to get up and ask for our bill to leave. That place could be churning orders and seating more people if they had some basic customer service. Still tipped 20%, mainly because the baristas were making drinks non stop. - Design. Interior is really nice but the design is odd. You can't walk through the bar area and baristas are located in the middle of the restaurant which is makes no sense.

Paola S.

$12 for a regular iced Matcha Latte and $20 for a Lychee Martini? It's a cute place but it's definitely overpriced.
