This is an excellent spot for those who can't decide what they want. It's a business, but it's in a house. It's a bookstore, but it's also a coffee shop, but it's also a bar with excellent cocktails. It's nice and quiet with Wifi, but they also have live music and plays on the weekends. Well worth a visit!

Great cocktails in an itty bitty space! Well worth a pop in and a drink to see what the DJ is playing on the weekends.

As unpretentious and comfort-foodie as it gets. This is an excellent spot to go HAM on their drinks or enjoy some really good fries at a picnic table.

Food Scene

This place puts a little spin on your classic coffee shop! In a great, walkable strip, this spot makes a mean afogato and some yummy morning food. Very Instagrammable!

This place is excellent morning, noon, and night, but move fast and get there early or you'll have to wait! I recommend the frose if you're drinking, the salmon bagel if you're eating breakfast, and the Reuben if you're a hungry, hungry hippo :)

If you like authentic Tex-Mex, big margs, mariachi bands, and velvet Elvis paintings, this place is for you. The food and the place are both cheesy in the best way!

My absolute favorite spot in Bishop Arts. It's technically French food, but I swear I have dreams about their oysters and the chicken paillard. A little pricey. You'll want to make reservations unless you want to belly up to the bar.

The most delicious, seasonal menu in a little cottage that sells by the slice. If the buttermilk or bourbon pecan is on the menu, you've got to try it! Excellent little spot to stop in if you're walking around Bishop Arts!

If you're not from Texas, you've got to try it once! For breakfast, try a Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit. For dinner or late night, try a classic Whataburger with cheese and jalapenos! Make sure to get plenty of the ketchup!

Parks & Nature

Nice little park to just go stretch your legs and see some local flavor. Very diverse, very Texan, and a nice easy 2-3 mile walk around the perimeter.

My favorite hiking trail loop in North Texas! A short 20 minute drive away where you can opt in to the 4 mile, 8 mile, or 16 mile loop. Rolling hills with a view of the lake. So peaceful! Note: this trail is shared with bikers, so stay alert!

Hands down, the best mall in Texas. Stop at La Duni for Argentinean fare, cocktails, and pastries! Shop at Nordstroms and Neimans if you have some $$$! Both have excellent bars and restaurants inside them if you want great service in a swanky atmosphere. If you're looking for something more affordable, take a spin through Zara and H&M. There is always an excellent mix of art installations, live music, designers, and affordable shops inside (as well as amazing people watching!).
