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.

I love coming to this coffee shop whenever I am near. The staff is always pleasant and friendly. I love the lavender latte. The atmosphere is very nice and cozy. There’s always a good amount of people here which is cool to see that others enjoy this place as much as me. They play great, relaxing indie music that is perfect for a coffee shop. I love to read my books and journal while I’m here. It’s a good place to get away from my phone. plenty of comfortable seats and extra seating out back outside. yay for 1418 coffee!!!

We had an iced beez kneez, iced David mason, and 2 oatmeal cream pies. Super impressed by the coffee taste and quality. Definitely making a trip back for those cookies! It was pretty crowded so we sat outside but the inside atmosphere is very nice and cozy. And baristas were very welcoming.

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!

Love this place! Great coffee friendly staff open late. In and out door seating super chill vibe a must try! Cortado is perfect here.
