Cafe Green Bean

Overall Rating: 7 ( out of 10 with 10 being best )
 Cafe Green Bean is a donut shop with coffee that is on Cross Timbers road by the YMCA. Personally we think their coffee is so-so. Their coffee is just like a cup of coffee you can make in your very own home., but their customer service is BEYOND AMAZING. The people are very nice and welcoming when you walk in.



Coffee Rating:  4 (out of 10 with 10 being best)

The coffee at Cafe Green Bean is ok. Like we said at the beginning, you can make the same cup of coffee in your home or even get it at your nearest gas station. The food is really great and so is the customer service so if you do come to Cafe Green Bean, don't come just for the coffee. Plus if you get a donut there, you also get two donut holes for free that come with it. I ( Lenny ) had a hazelnut coffee with a blueberry donut and two donut holes. I ( Benny ) had hazelnut with a vanilla flavor.

Ambiance Rating:  8 (out of 10 with 10 being best)

The ambiance is pretty good if we do say so ourselves. When you walk in, you are greeted and welcomed in by very nice employees. You also see a display of pictures with very beautiful artwork. Definitely recommend you come if you want to see just that. But you might as well grab some donuts while you're there too.

Sukoon Coffee and Ice Cream


Overall Rating:   9 (out of 10 with 10 being best)

Sukoon Coffee and Ice Cream is located off of Old Orchard and Main Street. It's also right next to Mama's Daughter's Diner as well.



Coffee Rating:  9 (out of 10 with 10 being best)

Sukoon's got really good coffee. We DEFINITELY recommend you try it out! I ( Lenny ) had a " White Mocha Latte " and it was soooooooo good! I was very pleased with it. It had just the right amount of flavor to satisfy me, which I love because I'm not a fan of having to flavor my coffee on my own. I ( Benny ) had an " Almond Latte ". I definitely loved it! It was very tasty and flavorful. I wasn't disappointed one bit! :D

Ambiance Rating:  8 (out of 10 with 10 being best)

The ambiance is very nice and cozy. It's got a nice seating area with couches and a coffee table in the back of the shop. The walls are a nice, warm orange color and all around the shop is a display of wall decor with lanterns and lamps to make the shop have a very peaceful feel to it.

Edison ( Parker Square )

Overall Rating:   9 (out of 10 with 10 being best)

Edison's in Parker Square is the second location here in Flower Mound. It has the feel of an independent coffee shop rather than a chain. The coffee tastes great and it has lots of unique choices and flavors. The ambiance is top-notch.



Coffee Rating:  8 (out of 10 with 10 being best)

The coffee at Edison's is really good.  There are lots of choices and unique flavors.   I (Benny) had the seasonal coffee called the " Arctic Puffin ". It was contained with vanilla, pine, and mint latte dusted with crushed peppermint. Personally, I didn't loooovvve it, but it was a good experience to try it. I (Lenny) had a cold brew. My cold brew was contained with coffee, and half vanilla and Half n' half to add a little bit of flavor. We also enjoyed Edison's food as well! I ( Lenny ) had the " Adult grilled cheese " and I have to say it didn't make me feel any different which is kind of disappointing. I will give credit for it being really good though. I ( Benny ) had the " Ham and Cranberry Melt ". I thought is was so FREAKING GOOD! Definitely recommend it! :)

Ambiance Rating:  9 (out of 10 with 10 being best)

The ambiance is where Edison's really shines.  The place is big with lots of room and has a lot open space. It's also got a lot more light which gives a more brighter feeling to it. The look and feel of the place is like a small, independent coffee shop as well as the one in Highland Village. The location Edison is in is nice because for anyone that goes to NCTC, you get the opportunity to grab yourself a coffee before you start your classes. It's also nice for families that want to get together while they walk around Parker Square and enjoy some nice warm/cool coffee.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to Flo Mo Coffee Talk with Lenny and Benny

Hi Everybody!

This is a new blog brought to you by Lanie Ramirez (Lenny) and her uncle, Ben Swinney (Benny).  We are checking out all the top coffee shops in the Flower Mound, Lewisville and Highland Village area and giving you the scoop (see what I did there -- scoop....coffee!).

We're doing this for fun, and an excuse to enjoy good coffee and fun chats.   But also, we want to let you know about the great coffee spots in the Flo Mo area and hope you are able to find some spots where you can enjoy fun, chats and coffee with your besties also.

We'll be updating the blog weekly with a new review so check back often for ratings, reviews and fun pictures.  Enjoy!  Ciao for Now.....

Dunkin Donuts - 1510 W Main St, Lewisville, TX 75067

We had a bit of a controversy on this one.  I (Lenny) loved it.  I (Benny) not so much.  Here is the story behind the controversy.

Overall Rating:  Lenny - 10 (out of 10 with 10 being the highest);  Benny (5 out of 10)

Lenny - I ordered a Cold Brew Pumpkin Iced Coffee which was delish!  The customer service was on point.  We had a very nice lady who took care of us.  This was my first time to go to Dunkin Donuts and it was a great first experience for me. 

Benny - I had a Latte and it was good, not great.  The server at the store was really nice.  She joked with us and was very personable.

Coffee Rating:  Lenny - 10 (out of 10 with 10 being the highest);  Benny - 5 (out of 10)

Lenny - For my coffee, I preferred something sweet and that reminded me of fall.   The coffee I had did exactly that.  I recommend Dunkin Donut's Cold Brew Iced Coffee to everyone especially if you're looking for something seasonal.

Benny - My Latte was just okay.  To me, Dunkin Donuts coffee is just average.  Not too flavorful and a bit overly milky and sweet.

Ambiance Rating:  Lenny - 10 (out of 10 with 10 being the highest);  Benny - 5 (out of 10)

Lenny - Dunkin Donuts is very bright inside.  Customer service was good and we had a very nice chat with our server.

Benny - Dunkin Donuts doesn't have the ambiance of a coffee shop, local or chain.  It has the feel of more of a donut shop.  They did have a wooden laminate flooring that was a bit better than your typical Dunkin Donuts.  The lady at the counter was super nice and this is what took the Ambiance Rating for me from a 3 to a 5.  She was a real sweetheart.

The Perc - 115 W Main St, Lewisville, TX 75057

We really loved this coffee shop.  It's amazing.  Totally worth checking out.


Overall Rating:  9 (out of 10 with 10 being the highest)

This is such a cool coffee shop.  We love the downtown Lewisville vibe.  Downtown Lewisville has really got a lot of great things happening lately with Prohibition Chicken, The Perc, The Grand Theater for plays and music, Twisted Root Burgers, and The Perc!  If you haven't been downtown Lewisville lately, check it out.

Coffee Rating:  9 (out of 10 with 10 being the highest)

The coffee here is great.  Served in mugs (like any good coffee shop should do.).  I (Lenny) had a Mocha and it was excellent.  I (Benny) had a Latte and it was very tasty.  Perfect flavor.

Ambiance Rating:  10 (out of 10 with 10 being the highest)

This is where The Perc really shines.  It's in an older building in downtown Lewisville that has been renovated and it's the perfect blend of vintage and cool.  Brick walls and lots of cool pictures and signs all over the coffee shop.  The servers at The Perc were also very friendly and helpful.  The seating is a little limited but that's the only downside.  Really cool place to hang out and have a cup and just chill, reading, studying, surfing or whatevs.
