“ Had a great breakfast of eggs and bacon! Perfectly prepared! Serive is A+++! Not to mention, they support this beautiful population of adults with intellectual disabilities. ”

“ Nice meal, nice folks!! Great concept! Wish there were more places like this. Spouse and I were just walking around town and happened into this place. Glad we did. ”

“ We had a group of seven and everyone loved what they ordered. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend the grilled cheese. Five cheeses, bacon. and tomato. Yummy! The wedding cake cookies were also very good. I highly recommend Hugs Cafe. ”

“ Hugs Cafe is more than a restaurant--it's a place with a beautiful mission. My friend, who's a huge supporter of Creativity Explored - https://www.creativityexplored.org - in San Francisco (an art studio for adults with developmental disabilities), was thrilled to visit this cafe and see a similar cause at work here in Texas. If you're ever in SF, check out the art for sale at Creativity Explored in the Mission District, too! We came for lunch and were treated to delicious food and inspiring moments. We shared the pimento cheese, the turkey and peach sandwich, and a slice of chocolate pecan pie that's a must-try. Every dish was made with care, and you could feel the love that goes into this place. What really touched us was seeing the training in action. There were lots of employees learning not just job skills but valuable life skills. The manager, so warm and patient, gently reminded them to engage with each other and to limit their screen time--a lesson we could all use! It was a wonderful experience, with a delicious meal supporting a cause that deserves all the love. If you're in the area, don't miss it! ”

“ Customer service was quick and friendly. I got the classic roast beef & the bourbon chocolate pecan pie. I like that they really load their sandwiches with meat ”

“ Friendly service and yummy food! The special needs workers and volunteers want to be there! ”

“ Love visiting here. Everyone is so friendly. The food and coffee are good. I love that support our local community with a mission and will continue to return. ”

“ Another sketchy review. There are many reasons to visit Hugs Café in McKinney, but I will focus on three. First, the food. This lunch only spot doesn't have a huge menu, but that's a good thing. They do salads, soups and sandwiches, and they do them all well. Each of the sandwiches are customizable and can be mixed with a variety of soups and sides. Don't forget to order one of their sweet treats, they are delicious. Second, the atmosphere. I can't think of another restaurant that lives up to its name better than Hugs Café. From the moment you walk in, You feel the warm embrace of a vibrant and happy atmosphere and are greeted by smiles from everyone you encounter. They treated me like a rockstar, but as I looked around, they treated every customer the same way. The interior is bustling and full of energy and there is a nice outdoor seating area in the front. A truly exceptional experience. Third, the mission. This restaurant employees adults facing developmental hurdles and provides training and employment to help them live a fulfilling life. The employees really seem to like what they're doing. If you are looking for a tasty lunch, go to Hugs. If you need more smiles and happiness in your life, go to Hugs. If you want to support a worthwhile cause, go to Hugs - this joint is worth the trip. You will leave not only with a full belly, but with a full heart too. ”

“ Such great food, people and all around experience here at hugs. The passion in the community and the passion in their love for food and kindness hospitality. This is the best place to have lunch. They have Shane and out door seating if you wanted to to enjoy the beautiful sunny days. ”

“ I love this place. I had a friend visiting from Ohio and we were talking to my neighbors about places to eat while he was here. My neighbor told us about Hugs Cafe and I knew we had to try it. My friend and I both ordered the Grilled Cheese on sourdough with the Tomato Basil soup. We both loved it!! My friend got the oatmeal raisin with cranberries ( I think ). I stayed with classic chocolate chip cookie. My friend said his was amazing and I thought the chocolate chip was perfect. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the mission behind the place is Heartwarming. I know I will be back many times. I even purchased a coffee Mug that says, "Have you had your Hug today?" I love supporting local owned businesses, this tops them all. ”
