{When visiting coffee shops around the country and the world, I try not to make my blog entries sound like a restaurant review. Rather include my personal experience and the taste notes of the coffee}
About 30 miles just north of downtown Dallas is a gem of a place for any and all coffee lovers. Located in charming and clean McKinney, TX, filter{ed} coffee provides a full craft experience in a historic small town. It was like something out of a Hallmark movie!
Love how the menus are written in chalk and inspired by and old-school blackboard
They cater to local art, artists, and musicians. Plus you can draw or color your own art and leave it for them on their wall.
The barista took his time in helping me select just the right craft for me. I chose a Costa Rican pour-over in a {for here} cup. This blend was provided by Cuvee coffee roasters.
Taste Notes: brown sugar, milk chocolaty finish
Acidity: Low
Acidity: Low
The bar also offered the usual drinks you would see at any coffee shop as well as custom orders.
I found a quiet seat in the back of the longer than wider space. The shop had white painted brick walls, concrete floors and an industrial ceiling {not pictured}. The music was not blaring and obnoxious, which allowed me to meet and greet other locals enjoying the coffee experience. Afterwards, I continued to browse the local boutiques and eateries the town had to offer.

Had a local coffee place that had the menu written like that...loved that place. Local artist in the area around Old Hickory would meet there on Sat. Nice place, out of business now.
That is one cool coffee shop. Love everything about it. I like how they have the coffee and not coffee chalkboards. And that's really nice that they let the customers leave their art work with them. The music not being loud is a plus too. Your coffee with a chocolaty taste sounds wonderful. : )
