Hoshi Japanese Cafe

Love this place. Everything so far has been delicious- we've tried a number of different drinks - smoothies, Japan inspired coffee, Hoshi milk teas (at least on par with our favorite boba places), and more. I don't think you can go wrong on those. Try the "Japanese inspired coffees" - the owner, who is incredibly friendly, shared that he lived in Japan for many years and did extensive testing with a local roaster to arrive at coffees that were similar to his favorites from there.Some other favorites of mine- I've had most of their onigiri- rice is great and they are sizable. The obanyaki (a stuffed pancake-like treat) are my other favorite- ichigo an (strawberry) being my go-to:

Hoshi Japanese Cafe in Plano,TX reminded me so much of cafes I ran across during my trip to Tokyo last year. In fact, the proprietors are originally from Japan. The products, interior decor, and vibe all scream Japan to me.During my most recent trip to visit good friends in Plano, we stopped in here at least twice and both times, I ordered their Cold Brew with Cold Foam. Not too sweet, bold coffee taste and well balanced.The sweet ladies who helped us were gracious, helpful in helping us decide what to order, and even brought out our drinks to us while we were seated. Service done the right way here.

During my trip to visit my good friends in Plano last month, I was brought here for an afternoon cool treat. The first thing I immediately noticed was the feeling inside Hoshi Japanese Cafe feels very authentic to cafes I've been to in Tokyo myself. When I placed my order with the nice women, it confirmed to me they were clearly native Japanese.For both of my visits here, I ordered their Coffee Jelly with Milk and it was refreshing and and not too sweet, as I would expect from their recipe from Japan. The ladies who took my order also brought out our drinks to us at our table, while we were waiting, even though all of our drinks were to go. The level of quality and service from this cafe was amazing and when I come back to visit Plano, I will be sure to stop through for another cool treat.

A little cute cafe with a couple of seats. There is a QR code to the menu and to order online. Service was quick and friendly. I was looking for the popular Japanese coffee jelly with milk (I asked for oat milk). It was delicious! Not too sweet.

Absolutely love this little cafe. Besides having obanyaki (which is my favorite) they have yummae drinks, texas size onigiri, AND Okonomiyaki (which is what I got).The trouble is when you need to select which filling you want to try in your obanyaki. I finally decided on the strawberry filling ichigo an, and the hubs got matcha filling. Yum, comes out hot with a crispy texture on the outside, soft on the inside. When I saw hojicha latte on the menu, I almost fainted. This is my most favorite Japanese hot drink. I got it iced with oatmilk and it was the most delicious hojicha drink I've had to date. There is maybe one other cafe that has this that I can think of. The service here is wonderful. We will be back for the little teddy bear obanyaki. My kids would love that.

I tried this Japanese Cafe which opened almost about three months ago. I ordered Taro Milk Tea with Boba and Shaka Shaka mini plain waffles. The milk tea tastes just an ordinary one, nothing special. The Shaka Shaka waffles are not moist. They're both pricey. I was expecting a real authentic Japanese desserts. But they didn't meet my expectations. Friendly people and well lighted place. They closed early and have no public wifi. Young adults won't be able to hang out here. Hoping for a successful business for them .

The people were so nice there !!! very welcoming and huge onigiri at good price. happy atmosphere

What a cute new addition to Plano! Me and my partner went here for a sweet snack after our dinner and ended up ordering their custard obanyaki along with a tuna onigiri. The obanyaki is made fresh and came out warm. It was perfectly light and not too sweet - exactly what we needed after a big meal! The onigiri is definitely Texas sized as it was the largest onigiri I have ever ordered! The onigiri was surprisingly so flavorful and we can't wait to go back to try other flavors! I wanted to try their hojicha obanyaki, but it seems they were out of stock or are removing it from the menu. Please bring it back!

A very cute, new lil Japanese cafe. I was going to get the chocolate obanyaki and was recommended the croissant version (new, not yet on menu). It was delicious! The strawberry lemonade was also really good. I definitely plan on coming back to try more of their pastries and drinks.

I visited this Store for the first time, my daughter's third visit. When she went the second time, the rice balls were sold out, so this time we decided to go during lunch hours. I ordered the ume okaka (plum and bonito flakes), Japanese sausage rice ball, hojicha latte, and the yuzu butterfly drink that I had been wanting to try.The rice balls tasted just like the nostalgic flavors of Japan and were absolutely amazing. My daughter also said the Japanese sausage rice ball was incredibly delicious.The hojicha latte wasn't overly sweet and tasted just right. My daughter's yuzu butterfly drink was perfectly sweet and refreshingly cold even without ice, and she said it was very tasty.The staff were very kind and brought our orders directly to our table as soon as they were ready. This Japanese-style service was wonderful and made me feel nostalgic for my home country.The shop itself had a cute and fun atmosphere, which made the experience even better. I'll definitely visit again to buy more rice balls and drinks!
