Pax & Beneficia Coffee - Plano

Walked in immediately felt that coffee vibe. The barista greeted me and I placed an order for a croissant and an Expresso. As the shot was pulled i learned that they had a darker bean and they can pull that instead of the light bean. I of course accepted and the barista pulled an an amazing expresso: dark, thick, aromatic with flavors of brown sugar, hint of citrus and the smokiness from the bean that was not dry nor flat. If I am in tbe area: its my goto place to savor an expresso.

Since the cashier was also serving, I had a wait before placing my order. Watching her hand out a Turkey Pesto and a Breakfast Sammie, I decided to go with the former. To complement the sandwich, I ordered a Flat White. This is a coffee shop after all.I wish coffee shops would stop filling mugs to the brim. As I slowly walked with a very full cup to my table, the cashier passed me by to serve my food. Since she had not asked where I was seated, she placed my order at another customer's counter. By the time I reached my table, the customer had returned to herself seat and handed me my plate.The menu mentioned that zataar chips were included with the sandwich. However, what I received looked and crunched like kettle chips. There were no additional seasonings.Despite the minor flaws, the Turkey Pesto sandwich was delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed the flavor of the pesto sauce, and the slice of fontina cheese was the second best part. If there were any red peppers, they were scarce and hidden deep within the sandwich. The croissant itself was thick and crusty, which was a definite plus since the bread did not fall apart.I had forgotten to add any sweetener to my flat white when I ordered it. While getting napkins, I noticed that the only sweeteners available were stevia and unrefined sugar. Fortunately, the flat white did not require any sweetener.

Coffee was more acidic than I prefer, and it had a strong cardamom flavor... to be fair, I chose a hot orange blossom, honey, and cardamon latte with oat milk.Great vibes and baristas.

The service was super friendly, but the matcha latte was sort of a letdown. We were excited for the ceremonial-grade matcha, but it didn't quite hit. I got vanilla syrup with whole milk which was too sweet, while my friend got simple syrup with whole milk and it wasn't sweet at all. Our drinks had different consistencies, and we both ended up with matcha clumps at the bottom. The food is definitely overpriced, but it's still a great spot to chat and study. Will have to try the other drinks next time!

Super cute coffee shop! We ordered a drink and avocado toast. The avocado toast was good but a little overpriced. They were out of all croissants and pastries minus the pumpkin croissant, hopefully next time they'll have a large selection available. I do wish they had a nice outdoor area to sit, it looks like there is space on the side. Looking forward to visiting soon and trying additional items!

DRINKS- Iced Matcha with Pump of Vanilla - The vanilla is lowkey overpowering and there's not too much matcha taste. The matcha is a really pretty color though and evenly whisked/mixed throughout. It's very vanilla tasting. - Cold Brew Coffee with Cream - Pretty strong flavor but the cream balances it out. The cream is pretty sweet and rich but really yummy and fluffy. The coffee is not too strong. VIBESThe place is slightly loud (but could just be the people that were sitting and visiting). The decorations are modern and there are plants decorating the place. There are couches, window seating, and tables. The place is really clean and just really a nice place to study. Wifi is also really fast!SERVICEService is great! Drinks come out really quickly and the bathroom is also really clean! Everyone is friendly!

Pax & Beneficia have excellent fresh coffee! Loved every coffee I've tried honestly! The service is great and ambience is very chill! Great place for cute little date, meet up friends and more!

I am S O L D. I was looking for a coffee shop on a rainy day to read in and I'm so glad I found this gem. The atmosphere was very calming and not too bustling. They had ambient music playing at just the right volume. Plenty of seating! Changing table in the bathroom and lots of food and drink options. I will definitely be back!

Just to let you know that this is my personal opinion and nothing the staff do. Cute place, just not my cup of tea. Staff is nice and service is ok. If you want to visit go right ahead.

The coffee here is delicious! It is amazingly smooth and just the right temperature. This is a pretty popular coffee place. However, there is enough room to find a seat and work. It is definitely noisier than most so avoid zoom meetings. The ambience and music playlist are great to get you in worker bee mode.
