"I had bookmarked Rapalo awhile back and finally stopped in yesterday afternoon for my first visit-I only wish I had come in here sooner! This is my coffee shop dream come true. I couldn’t believe that this lovely hidden gem is here in North Texas, but I’m so glad it is. Everything from the decor, drinks, food, and service is an absolute delight. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted to have our order taken-we were happy to see that they have traditional drinks as well as summertime specials. We decided to order the Caramel Brown Sugar Latte, Dirty Coconut Mocha Latte, and an almond croissant filled with pistachio gelato. These were all so delicious and the presentation was perfect. These were hands-down the best coffees I’ve had in North Texas. The croissant completely surprised me in a great way-it was truly the best croissant I’ve eaten in North America and reminded me of those I’ve had in Paris. The gelato was delicious-creamy, flavorful, and not too heavy. Staff here was warm, friendly and helpful. We absolutely loved the ambience here-the decorations are so pretty, and there is a large variety of tables and seating throughout. This coffee shop is charming and has now become my favorite in the area-I had high expectations, but it still exceeded them in every way. Great drinks, food, service, and ambience all around. I highly recommend Rapalo, and cannot wait to return!"

"Great coffee place! It was our first time in and met the owner. She is passionate about her community and those with disabilities. Our croissants and lattes were delicious! We will come back! We love supporting small! Also they roast their own beans!"

"Great place to start your morning with an amazing cup of coffee and crossiants! The espresso is made with meticulous care which I absolutely love since some coffee shops burn it accidentally. They also have a great selection of jams, olive oil, and sardines! The customer service was amazing as well as the decorations and the ambiance of the store! Very excited to see a store like this in this part of town!"

"I enjoyed my first experience here! The lattes was really good. There weren’t too many flavors to choose from but had the staples. The croissants were so tasty! We got 1 chocolate and 1 strawberry. The prices were very reasonable and I can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu items!"

"The decor is super cute! The croissants were delicious! The almond croissant was flaky and sweet. The owner imports her almonds from France and her pistachios from Sicily. She also made sweet conversation with my friend and me. More importantly, she uses her business as a platform to train students with intellectual/developmental disabilities. By working in her cafe, the students can gain useful professional skills that improve their employment prospects for the future. Buying your coffee from Rapalo will not only satisfy your sweet tooth, but it will also support this woman’s vision for her community! I cannot recommend it enough!"
