This has now become one of my go-to lunch places. They have healthy food choices, and they taste fantastic. The tomato soup was to die for and complemented the egg salad sandwich perfectly. I highly recommend City Cafe and will be returning.

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.

The service is amazing. The food is delicious. The bread has a good variety of choices. The pie is perfect and the eggs are perfectly cooked.

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!! ❤️🙏🇨🇱🇺🇸🙏❤️🇨🇱🇺🇸🙏❤️

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.

City Cafe was one of my favorite restaurants ever. Great food. Lovely subdued atmosphere. White table cloths. Old style place with a lot of grace. Unfortunately they have closed after 35 years. New years eve was the last night and I'm so glad we were there. Apparently Dallas likes loud, noisy places were you can't hear each other talk. Restaurants in Dallas come and go like the weather. City cafe was an institution. One more reason why Dallas in less and less appealing to me as a place to live.

My parents have been coming here for years, but I was just recently re-introduced to the excellence that is a dinner at City Cafe. Karim, our Steward, and the staff were fantastic, and they guided us through a wonderful evening, from wine selections to specials, then dessert and after-dinner drinks. I can't recommend this place high enough. THANK YOU, gang, for making an evening with family so special!!!

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.

Ordered Favor from City Cafe for lunch one day and was blown away by how delicious the chicken enchiladas were and the spinach and strawberry salad was!! Will be ordering again! So delicious! Glad we found this place!

Just had a lunch celebration for my son and his fiancee on Saturday. There are not enough words to describe what a perfect place this is to have a private party. Dianne was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Food presentation on buffet and taste was not only beautiful but absolutely delicious!!
The service was outstanding!! The room was bright with wonderful high ceilings and a garage door to open onto a small patio. You can tell they put a personal touch into making our event very special! Thank You!! I want to do another party!!

This was my first visit to City Cafe and we dined in their fine dining concept. (They also have a cafe & bakery concept next door which by the looks of the crowd is very popular). I enjoyed the wonderful lunch special of grilled mahi mahi topped with a lemon caper sauce and served on a bed of vegetable risotto. It was delicious! My lunch mate ordered the ahi tuna which I sampled and was also cooked perfectly. Food presentation was attractive. The service was attentive without being too fussy. I always have people asking me for venue suggestions, so I was glad to learn they have two private dining rooms with A/V installed for presentations or business meetings. I look forward to going back and trying out something on their new cocktail list!
