LA Souq

vibes are immaculate the coffee is so good & presentation of the coffee shop but also the drinks. hoping they get a bit more pastries because the ones they have now are delicious!

It's a beautiful space and the folks are quite friendly. Very Arabic-coffee oriented-which is great! Food and drinks were good but not great.But the service is really slow and not all our items came out together. Plus, it's much more expensive than other similar places. I'd go back but only if someone else suggested it.

DRINKSFig and Cinnamon Latte (Hot) - the latte is pretty good. Has a good cinnamon taste, and the fig isn't too noticeable. The drink itself is not too sweet and just tastes very light and delicious! VIBESThe place is really clean and gives a modern aesthetic. There are woven chairs and boots seating. There is also wooden seating for two. The interior is well lit by the windows surrounding and the white give it a nice clean vibe.SERVICE Service is great! The person I took my order made my drink was very personable .

Simply divine establishment. The coffee and atmosphere all match the great service. This was a first time experience. I invited my Sister to meet me. We both enjoyed the experience and will be back soon. Fig and cinnamon latte: velvety, flavorful, and well balanced Turkish coffee: robust flavor, hot, traditional and divine

Absolutely wonderful ambiance and delicious taste. The coffees were typical prices but some of the best i've ever tasted. Unique mix of culture and taste. Bathrooms were very clean and the staff were friendly. Great place to study or get a small snack and chat over a cup of coffee or tea.

Ambiance - beautiful and aesthetic! Service - nothing outstanding but good and the staff seemed pleasant and helpfulPrice - there is a very saturated market of middle eastern coffee shops in Richardson/Plano and this is the most expensive for the area. I really enjoyed my cinnamon and fig latte but it was $7.50 for a 12oz size. I thought it was good but for that price it won't become my go to. I also got the saffron eclair which was $15! It definitely was not worth the $15 to me - more around $7/8 for a fancy pastry. My total for coffee and eclair was $23.20. I tried it and enjoyed it! However, due to the higher prices I won't be a regular.

Ah, another coffee shop in Richardson. But hey, if anyone's going to cut through the endless parade of ethnic-inspired boutique coffee shops, it's going to be this one right? Let's talk details.The space? Gorgeous. The modern, sleek aesthetic is complimented by a flood of natural light that makes you feel like you're drinking your overpriced cappuccino inside a Pinterest board. It's centrally located, with an attached parking garage and ample space to spread out and either talk, work, or disassociate. This is a big win over similar spaces right down Main. But, La Souq is missing the mark in three key areas: pricing, inventory, and staff. I went opening weekend so depleted inventory is somewhat expected but, it seemed like they never had most of the pastries or light bites in inventory which is fine but, don't advertise them and/or give recommendations for alternatives on the menu. Which leads me to my biggest qualm, the main clerk. Again, I went opening weekend but, the poor gal at the register looked completely overwhelmed. She seemed confused and even intimidated by the crowds, noise, and menu. Failed to give relevant recommendations about the menu and was whispering. The price tag definitely feels a little steep ($8+ for a small) for what you get, especially in an already crowded market.But you know what? I'm holding out hope. With a little more polish on the staff and some inventory adjustments, this place could really take off, especially come Ramadan!

I came here on a Saturday morning - there is lots of parking and plenty of seating options (a good place to hang out with friends and also saw a couple people working). I was able to place my order quickly and got my drinks within 10 mins (there were a couple people that ordered in front of me, but they had a good pace with getting all the order out/didn't rush). I tried the Za'atar W' Zeit (thyme, olive oil) and Aden Gold Rush (cardamom, hot honey, gold flakes) lattes - both were very yummy with a slight preference for Aden Gold Rush, but would order either again (and plan on trying the fig one)!

We stopped by at this coffee shop while we were in the area.Quite spacious if you are looking to socialize with friends over coffee.They have free WiFi. They could add more seating though.Nice ambiance and decor.Service was quick given the crowd at the hour when we went.

I don't even know where to start...we ordered the iced hibiscus, fig and cinnamon latte, Alaskan aurora (salmon toast), and almond croissant. The iced hibiscus tasted straight water with like a drop of redbull. The latte was too watery and couldn't taste any fig. The almond croissant was very mediocre. The toast was the worst of it all, it's now 30 minutes after consumption and me and and my friend had to pull over and get some fresh air because of how sick we are feeling. Not sure if it's because of the salmon but it tasted so abnormal that I wouldn't be surprised. The ambiance is your typical contemporary look but the aesthetics couldn't make up for how bad the food and drinks were. On top of it all, we each spent around 25 dollars for a drink and a pastry which is outrageous.La souq...you will not be hearing from me again.
