Came here one day for lunch with a friend. Got the City Club Cafe Sandwich with fries. The Sandwhich comes with Mayo smoked Turkey breast, applewood smoked bacon, avocado cheddar cheese, tomato & red leaf lettuce on sourdough bread. It was very good! For dessert I got the Blum’s caramel crunch cake. It was a little too sweet for my taste. But tasted like a coffee cake. For drinks we got the famous “teamon-ade” which was delish! The vibes are very “park cities/ highland park” if you know what I mean.

Good local cafe. Friendly. NOTE: The FINE Dining restaurant is CLOSED. This is now just the casual cafe on the lower level. Upscale cafe with a good selection of fresh and healthy items. Great for takeout or casual sit-down lunch. Seems like a University Park staple where folks ALL know each other. Private club-ish. Friendly counter service with big display case of fresh options. Iced tea was really good. Bread was not as fresh, bummer. Good spot for locals for sandwiches, soups, salads. Prices match the higher quality food. Parking can be tricky, but there is a garage underneath. They need to figure out what to do with the old fine dining restaurant area. Sad that it is still closed. The food and friendliness are probably worth the 4.5 stars. My star deduction is due to the dry bread (that came with soup) and the slow food delivery. 12-15 Minutes is slow for counter order/table service. But most folks are in no rush, so I can see the 4.5. (Some of those 4.5 ratings came from the fine dining restaurant too.) If University Park had a private cafe, this would be it.

Amazing food and prepared carefully with attention to details. The steamed vegetables by the pound are an awesome way to get healthy. The baby heirloom beets are my favorite. They also have steamed broccoli. I add a little bit of cheddar to the broccoli and I have dinner! The toasted chicken panini with mozzarella and pesto is to die for!! Get it toasted!! I love my community in Dallas and am extremely protective of Texas. I’ve recently become a political strategist which is something my mother did for years. I don’t charge money for this. I love my state and country. GOD BLESS AMERICA!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

This place is a gem in Big D. Fresh tasty food, friendly staff. Great salads, sandwiches, and a few entrees. Good for takeout too, but comfortable to dine-in as well.

Wow! We just had an excellent experience at City Cafe. It had been about 10 years since we were last there. The dining room has been completely remodeled. I’d describe it as contemporary chic. A bonus, it is quiet enough that you can actually hear your dinner companions. The host recommend an excellent rose for me on this hot Dallas night. It was exactly what I wanted, and he worked from me telling him that “It is hot. Give me something for hot.” Wonderful. We then enjoyed the hummus trio (homemade) and grilled pita bread. Then, hubby had the scallops and I had the halibut special. Again, flawless. We ended with their signature dessert, which I would describe as angel food toffee cake. The service was excellent and everyone seemed genuinely interested in whether we were enjoying it all. We will be back soon, and you should check it out.

This wonderful restaurant has been our regular anniversary dinner spot since 1988. Sadly, the fine dining restaurant closed its doors at the end of 2019, leaving “City Cafe To Go” still operating. Our thanks to host Karim and the staff that have done such a wonderful job over the years. We will miss you!
