Peace Middle East is such a hidden gem. They had amazing coffee and pastries. I really enjoyed the pistachio latte. There is also plenty of seating and electric plugs which make it a great place to study. They offer free WiFi. The service was very friendly and the establishment was very clean and cozy. Parking: plenty of free lot parking in front of the restaurant.

Everything was delicious. The service was excellent. The young lady recommended a few dishes and drinks and all of her recommendations were amazing. The ambiance was exotic and peaceful. We felt like we were far away from Dallas. Definitely coming back.

Super friendly staff, and amazing food and drinks! We got the Monkey Bread, Signature Waffle (4 different flavors), the Arabic Latte (hot) and a Chai Latte (Iced, oatmilk). Definitely come if you have a sweet tooth! The Monkey Bread had a lot of crispy edges to dig your teeth into, like a big cinnamon roll you can pull apart. The Signature Waffle was the perfect thickness and every flavor was amazing! I particularly liked the biscoff/white chocolate section but everything was yummy. The presentation was also top notch, with the precise drizzles of sauce and flower garnishes. Would post pictures but we ate through everything immediately!

Such a cute and lovely cafe in Richardson! I loved visiting this cafe. Stopped in because the drinks looked cute and I needed a place to study and ended up being so pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Iced Peace Middle East Latte which is an iced latte with vanilla and lavender syrup and really enjoyed the creamy drink. I normally don't like floral/lavender in food/drinks but really enjoyed how creamy and subtle everything was. The drink was a good level of sweetness as well! We also ordered a Baklava Cheesecake which was so good!!! I don't even like cheesecake that much but really enjoyed the pistachio flavor with the creamy cheesecake topped with the flaky phyllo dough of the baklava. I highly recommend getting this if you like baklava flavors. The place is also family-owned! When I went, there were two young girls (I assume from the family) who were running around and making sure guests were having a good time. The other desserts/food also looked delicious! Very cute! 10/10 would come back :)

This place was recommended to me by a friend and I can definitely see why. This place has everything a homey neighborhood hole in the wall craves to be. The staff cares for their loyal diverse customer base as if they were family or regulars that have been attending for generations. It's a nice feeling seeing families dining here so late at night and students studying. Now for the food, baklava is my favorite dessert next to ice cream. I'm not even joking when I say one bite of their wide selection of baklava hypnotized me into a magical trance. I felt like I lived a thousand lifetimes before I even finished my second bite. The Jerusalem toast was so jam packed full of flavor. Its a good blend of meatiness balanced with tang and savory tartness from the olives and vinaigrette. It's pretty filling for what it is. The Turkish Panini was a fun surprise. I originally wanted the Shawarma crepe, but unfortunately they were out of Shawarma tonight. The staff kindly recommended me the Turkish Panini and I'm sure glad they did. I've never had a bread like this; moist on the inside but crunchy on the outside. The bread alone is a must try, but the sandwich fillings and dressings were delicious. Definitely coming back!

I've been eyeing this place for the longest time and I'm glad we decided to swing by after the gym! They are open Mon-Sat until 2am (except for Sundays-12am) which is great for post-clubbing, post-workout, dessert or just for those who would rather chat over coffee late at night but not have to leave at 9pm when most establishments close. The place was beautifully decorated, it felt cozy but had plenty of tables for several patrons to comfortably sit and enjoy. The workers were all incredibly welcoming and friendly. I'm thankful they recommended items as we were first timers. You can either order at the kiosk or scan the QR code for the menu and order at the counter. Note that the QR code menu may not be the most updated so the kiosk would have the most accurate prices. We ended up ordering the saffron tea and saffron cake as recommend as I didn't want to have anything caffeinated so late at night. I also ordered the Makdus Syrian Pickled Eggplant crepe. The items are made to order so be patient, it's 100% worth the wait. The saffron cake was creamy with notes of saffron and paired perfectly with the aromatic saffron tea. The crepe was very filling, packed with pickled eggplant, feta, topped with arugula, pomegranate, crushed pistachios and drizzled with a balsamic vinaigrette. The soft crepe, the tart eggplant and the nuttiness from the arugula blended well together. It was a flavor I have never experienced before. We were also given a complimentary mocktail -- a perfect finish for our night! Highly recommend this place.

We enjoyed our visit and the kind staff! As first time visitors we got a sampling of sweet and savory bites to explore: Peace Middle East lattes Baklava Kunefe Crepe Sandwich It's quite a bit out of the way for us but if I lived closer I'd certainly be a regular! Only con are some of the prices BUT the ingredients seemed quality and it's 2024 and everything is more expensive ‍
