I'm a big fan of Palmieri Cafe. The Italian pastries are to die for. In particular I love the vanilla and chocolate cannoncino. The vanilla cornetto is also very good. On the savory side, I love the sandwiches. The bread is amazing and they have a ham sandwich and a prosciutto sandwich that are incredible. The coffee is great and they roast their own coffee

Some of the best locally roasting coffee I have found! And they hook you up with a free cup of drip or an espresso. My daughter loves the lattes and the pastries. The staff is always Friendly and fast!

Their iced espresso and nitro cold brews were smooth, excellent rich flavor without too much acidity (high acidity in coffee is not my thing). Didn't even need any add ons. Plus the service was fantastic.

The sweets from this cafe are amazing. My wife was raised in a high quality homemade catering household. She gives Palmieri 5 stars. Finding the storefront and then a parking place that doesn't cost $10 is a giant pain. But it's worth it.

Every time I go to the Dallas farmers market I make sure to stop by the Palmieri Cafe and get my coffee fix. After the coffee Im ready to stroll the many booths at the farmers market. This place is always busy, and for good reason, they have a large selection of coffee drinks, along with sandwiches, and pastries to have with your coffee. This time I had an Americano coffee black with no sugar. The coffee they serve is very strong, and smooth at the same time. I highly recommend Palmieri cafe, so if youre at the farmers market give them a try!
