Kreative Grounds Coffee & Art McAllen Reviews
10/10, coffee was on point. Location has a nice calming and inviting vibe. Forgot to ask about the crafting when I went, but I look forward to coming back for more coffee! Customer service was great; highly recommend. Update- 2 weeks later tried the iced vanilla latte with almond milk 10/10 delicious. You can actually taste the coffee with milk. For me it's the perfect amount of coffee strength here! They also had a market when I stopped by on a Friday, it was a nice small event held inside and outside this place with different local vendors.
You know what pairs perfectly with coffee on a beautiful, cool morning? ☕ Cats. 🐾 Cute, cuddly, snuggly, sleepy cats who think this moment was created just for them. 💕 Delicious coffee, artistic environment, and snuggly kitties....it doesnt get better than this!
Visited this place for lunch for the 1st time. I have to say it was DELICIOUS!!! Not only was my food / drink awesome, it has a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Everyone was so professional. Will definitely return.
Great atmosphere! There are games for you to play with friends/family. It was a bit warm for us since it was a bit chilly outside. Coffee was super good!!
I love this place!! I have gone here several times to do work. I eat my bagel and have good coffee or hot chocolate. I will say that the caramel coffee was extremely sweet but that’s my bad. If you’re a big sweet person you will love it, if you like mid sweet, just make sure to ask them to hold on the sugar. Their hot chocolate is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. 🤤 the kitties are super cute and give you a nice break when they bless you with their attention.
I loved this place. I took my friend to the airport this morning so came over to this cafe to camp out and work for a couple hours. Everybody was super hospitable, I found a cozy corner to work for an hour or two. They had a delicious sugar-free iced latte that was caramel flavored, Starbucks doesn't even have sugar-free caramel. Later I had a breakfast croissant that was absolutely delicious and I asked for salsa and they whipped up a batch of homemade poblano sauce that was delicious and garlicky, it wasn't spicy but the flavor was wow!!! I will for sure come back here again and again when I'm in the area. Two thumbs up! PS, they have a cute little outdoor area that I will check out next time with a couple of little house kitties. I highly recommend this place
Really cute and cozy place! We stopped by for drinks but didnt know it was open mic night and it was a nice surprise to be able to listen to the performances☺️ I also absolutely love cats and Jacob (kitty pictured) was the cutest and would often approach my friend and I. My drink was really refreshing too! Sad I don't live close by but Ill definitely be back!🫡
First time trying this place and I LOVE IT!! It’s so cute and cozy inside, staff was friendly, and the food was delicious. Their grilled cheese and butterfly lemonade was amazing. My new favorite coffee shop!
Love the vibes this place has! Coffee is always a 10/10. And who doesn’t like a good coffee with the company of cats? :)
Loved the vibe, setup and service. Glad we stopped for a unique coffee experience. We will come back and visit again and hopefully paint too.
Love coming here. Never a bad experience. The food is fresh and comforting. My boyfriend loves the coffee, especially the cold brew with whole milk and lavender syrup. He also really loves the Butterfly Pea Flower latte. (I’m more of a tea drinker, which is perfect, too!) This time they even wrote a nice little note on my cup. What a difference compared to going to a place that neggs you by writing the worst phonetic spelling of your name. Kreative also stands out for creating a great platform and community for local artists. It’s like a combined gallery and cafe experience. We’ll keep coming back and highly recommend it!
I think I just found my new favorite coffee spot. I decided to check it out based on the reviews and now know why they are so highly rated. It became evident to me that many of the other customers there at the time were regulars. I loved the quaint, quiet and cozy feel of the place. As a cat person, I loved being welcomed by a few friendly cats cozied up on the porch by the entrance. I was immediately greeted as I approached the counter. Even though I arrived an hour before closing, I was still able to order a sandwich. I opted for the chicken salad croissant along with the Honey Cinnamon Shaken Espresso. For seating, there are indoor tables and booths (I will say the tables in the booths are a tad high and I am a regular height guy). There is also a fenced-in outdoor seating area. I opted for a booth where I could take advantage of the quiet and read on my Kindle. My coffee was ready within minutes. I was delighted from the first sip. It was like divine for my taste buds! Soon after, my sandwich came out. The croissant was sizeable, fresh and quality. The sandwich was tasty and fulfilling. The restaurant was clean and had great art decor featuring local artists. The staff was friendly and made sure I enjoyed my order. In general I loved the vibe and left very satisfied. I may be their newest regular.
Went here midday to hangout with friends that have children. They painted rocks and we got lattes. Nice kittens too!
Loved the atmosphere! Went to do a watercolor class hosted by Safire and they were amazing! Super recommend taking the classes and sip on coffee!! The coffee was so good too (got the Michelangelo Latte) and the kitties were the highlight 🤩 Photo of the kitties and my first attempt at watercolor😅 10/10
Cozy and very comfortable spot and coffee is spot-on! Great quality! Sandwiches and pastries are chef made in-house. Combo deals. Discounts: ask. Art available for purchase. Open mic on Fridays. Parking ample in the rear, limited in front. Drive-thru. Cats in outdoor area. Booths, tables, couches/chairs.
I've been to many cafés, and this one is the coziest most welcoming one I've been to. It has become my favorite spot to visit every weekend. ✨️💜 I love the coffee. (Favorite drink: brown sugar latte.) I love the atmosphere; every time I'm there, it makes me feel like it's a safe space to be kreative. 🩷
I had an amazing time! The workers were incredibly welcoming, the coffee was excellent, and we even took part in some arts and crafts activities for Earth Day! I highly recommend visiting. Plus, you might encounter some adorable local cats too!
Creative and relaxed atmosphere. You can paint while you're there. There are a lot of activities throughout the week. Love the lavender latte
This place is incredible! I came here because I heard they had cats, and guess what? They had KITTENS! Not only that, but the food and drinks were delicious. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I asked for recommendations, and they were great. I ended up getting the Cezanne Chicken salad Croissant with the Vangogh’s latte. They were both amazing. The sandwich was a good size and freshly made. I couldn’t stop eating it! Afterwards, I went outside to their little outdoor area and discovered the kittens. They were all so cute and just living their kitten lives. The staff takes great care of the cats while I’m outside. They were out to check on the mama and came back later to bring them water. When I went back inside, I decided to get some dessert and another drink since I was having such a great time. I sat down, read a book, and looked around the cafe. I really liked the atmosphere and all the art around. I also got to pet another cat that was inside. Overall, it was a fantastic place! I’ll definitely come back to try out more menu items and to visit the cats again!

Really cute cafe! We were in town visiting and wanted to check out a local spot. The staff was super welcoming and accommodating. The drinks were so yummy and we loved the cute drawings on the cup. 💛 We'll definitely come back!

I ordered an avocado toast and Mexican mocha and they were both delicious! I paid about $20 for both and I was a bit disappointed with the price but once my food came out it was totally worth it! Super yum! The staff is really friendly and it’s a nice environment.

Muffin was ok dense but tasted like a cinnamon roll. The coffee blended was like a McDonald's slush. Atmosphere was nice and liked all the cats hanging around
