Crema's Take

Nestled near the Katy Trail, this charming neighborhood spot blends a quality coffee program with an impressive selection of prepared meals and pastries that go far beyond typical café fare—think lemon chicken and thoughtfully curated lunch boxes alongside stellar scones. The warm, welcoming atmosphere makes it equally suited for a quick morning grab or a lingering sit with friends, though note that the coffee bar closes at 3 pm. It's become the kind of place where locals trust the quality enough to have meals catered for major life moments, a testament to both the food and the genuine hospitality that defines the experience.

Cute spot to grab a sweet treat and a coffee right off the Katy trail. We got scones (fave was the blueberry lemon) and the cheese danish. Be warned that the coffee bar closes at 3 pm. Limited parking but there’s some parking on the side of the road. Lots of seating, but not really a place to camp out and do work (which I appreciate) since they have no charging ports and have a 1 hr laptop limit.

My aunt provided some meals from Cottage Grocery after my husband and I had our baby, and we were SO impressed with the quality of the food. Everything was incredible. We had the lemon chicken, mashed potatoes, orchard salad, Parker house rolls, mocha brownies, enchilada casserole and the blueberry and goat cheese salad. We absolutely loved everything! Highly recommend and will definitely a new favorite of ours.

Really cute and unique spot!! They have a decent amount of seating if you want to grab a drink there. Lots of delicious looking prepped meals, pastries, little gifts, all the things. There are several parking spots but not a ton of parking.

A fantastic and much needed addition to the Dallas food scene! Cottage Grocery has an incredible variety of prepared foods (frozen and ready to eat), along with a stocked pastry case and coffee options. My whole family particularly enjoyed their breakfast tacos, pumpkin pancakes, chili, carnitas, overnight oats, chicken salad, and roasted vegetables (they've got it all!). Their location right off the Katy Trail and two gorgeous patios are perfect for grab & go or a great spot to catch up with friends. Cottage Grocery has filled a huge hole left by Royal Blue Grocery's closure a few years ago and has made meal prepping for adults and kids seamless. Can't wait to go back soon!!
