1418 Coffee - Historic Downtown Plano, TX

I had flat white and really enjoyed their coffee. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Atmosphere is interesting, I sat at a couch close to the window area so it was bright, but some parts of the place are really dark and depressing. There are many couches but majority of them were occupied with people laying casually as if it is their home. On one side it is nice that peole feel at home but on the orher side it doesn’t feel like a cafe place. Anyways, Plano historic downtown area is a lovely area and if you happen to be there and want a coffee break this place is it.

1418 Coffee is a great quaint little coffee shop in the middle of downtown Plano. The coffee had a rich flavor that my wife and I enjoyed, and they had a great selection of pastries and even a nice little sausage number to boot.I enjoyed the architecture, the age of the building, and the efforts that clearly went into preserving it. I would definitely recommend it, even for an old-timer like myself.

The drinks were really good, but it was quite crowded inside and a little overwhelming for me. Thankfully, the wait was still fairly short. With no open seating and the weather too chilly and windy to sit outside, we decided to take our drinks to go. We enjoyed the seasonal coffee and matcha, but this isn’t really the vibe I look for in a café, so I can’t say for certain that I’d return. It was very noisy—my autistic son wore headphones. UPDATE: I appreciate the response! 🙂 Just to clarify, the cashier did not mention the additional seating. When he asked if we wanted drinks "for here or to go," I said we wanted to sit for a minute to plan our next stop, but we didn’t see any seats. He just said, “Yeah, we’re pretty busy,” without mentioning the extra seating. I gave 4 stars. Good drinks, just not exactly my vibe, but I’m not knocking the place. Also, I’m aware of the parking options—I noted both free street parking and the free garage in my original review. Thank you again for responding!

We found this place on a quick search for a coffee shop to eat something small, and we left impressed with how good everything was. The caramel macchiato was really nice and balanced, the key lime pie reminded my friend of the one's from her home by how good it was, and I honestly haven't tasted such a tasty lemon cake in a long time, would definetely buy it again. The atmosphere was cozy, and the service was kind and charismatic, which I really appreciated. I would come back again!

Must try - David Mason coffee. Triple berry cake was good. Ideal place if you want to work while having your coffee. Or just want to sit with friends over coffee. That old town charm surrounding the place is a plus.
