Sunny Street Cafe in Roanoke was an accidental find but has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants. This little cafe serves breakfast, lunch and brunch everyday, delighting its customers. Sunny Street Cafe is a new restaurant to Texas but, three locations have been added in Little Elm, North Dallas, and Roanoke. They're open everyday until 2:30.

Sunny Street Café features a large selection of breakfast and lunch dishes, including huge Buttermilk Pancakes, Stuffed Biscuits and Gravy, Tex-Mex Omelet, Southwest Turkey Club, Buffalo Chicken Salad, homemade soups, fresh fruit, and made-from-scratch muffins. My absolute favorite is their chicken fried steak. It's fresh and battered/breaded/fried in their kitchen.

Sunny Street Café has a large community table, to invite conversation between guests and a private meeting room.
Each Sunny Street Café is also active in their communities. Our local Sunny Street cafes have partnered with local school districts to provide boxes lunches to hungry kids in the summer.

Stop by and check them out...or have them cater that next bring office meeting. Either way, you'll have great food and be helping out your community.

Play games with real nickels!
* Over 125 of the latest and classic video games!
* Large assortment of prizes!
* Build your own birthday party!
* Special discounts for groups!
* Daycare specials!


My daughter attended a birthday party here last year. She said it was the best party she's ever been to...I have to agree. Nickel Mania over Chuck E. Cheese any day of the week for this momma. As part of a birthday party, it was free to get in but, it's less than two dollars, per person, for admission to go in on your own. After that, nothing is more than a nickel. There's no exchanging money for tokens that you can't use outside that venue. You can set a goal for your child, pay them in nickels and then a visit to Nickel Mania could be the reward when they met the goal.


Since Nickel Mania table space is limited, it is important to get a reservation for your party.
Reservations are only guaranteed after deposit has been paid
Reservation and payment information for birthday parties:
A $50 + sales tax (Non-Refundable) deposit is due at the tme of booking and includes:
One row of tables for 2 hours
Up to 25 admissions - Adults and Children are the same price - (Refunds will not be issued if the number of guests is less then 25)
Host is responsible for paying all admissions for children and adults that are attending the party.
Host is responsible for guests that exceed the 25 admission limit at $1.99 + sales tax party rate.

Coppell Deli



Coppell Deli
449 W. Bethel Rd., Coppell
The other day I was in the north DFW Airport area and hungry. A chain restaurant just didn’t seem like it would satisfy my cravings that day - then I realized that the Coppell Deli made a mean patty melt, and I thought to myself, “self, it’s been TOO LONG since you’ve had a delicious patty melt!

The Coppell Deli is a bright, clean, simple place hearing back to simpler times. It’s located in Coppells tiny original “downtown.”
The Coppell Deli is well-known for their “Stubbs Special” (named for former Dallas Cowboy Danny Stubbs). It consists of what seems like an inch-thick layer of scrambled eggs, along with a large sausage patty, numerous bacon strips and a slice of cheese, all served between two slices of white-bread toast.


Although this sounded like a delicious indulgence, I was there on a mission. After placing my order with the friendly staff, it was only a few minutes before I was presented with my prize: a freshly-prepared, piping hot patty melt accompanied by tater tots! I dug in immediately, and was not disappointed!

Treat yourself to a trip back to a simpler time and visit the Coppell Deli soon!

Rosa's Café


Rosa's Café
Do you want TexMex with fast food prices but with a TexMex sit down restaurant feel? Then this place is just for you.
Rosa’s Cafe is an upscale, fast-casual restaurant concept - one of the fastest growing segments in the restaurant industry. The first Rosa’s Cafe was built in 1983 in San Angelo, Texas. In 1995, Bobby D. Cox purchased the brand with its five locations. Today, Rosa’s Cafe has expanded to more than 45 company-owned restaurants with locations in North,Central and West Texas. There is one company-owned Rosa’s Café in Hobbs, NM and an independently owned Rosa’s Café in Temecula, California.

It’s All About the Great Taste...
The signature products at Rosa’s Cafe are the beef and chicken fajitas, marinated and grilled to perfection over real West Texas mesquite wood giving them their distinct flavor. Other popular menu items include crispy and soft tacos, Mexican dinner plates, sour cream chicken enchiladas, taco salads, burritos, tostadas, tamales and made-from-scratch tortillas and sopapillas. The complimentary salsa bar includes fresh pico de gallo and salsas of different seasonings to top off any meal with a mouth-watering zest.


Boasting the attributes of most full-service, sit-down Mexican food restaurants, Rosa’s Cafe is unique in having an express drive-thru window to complement their authentic and colorful interior decor. Whether dining in or using the drive-thru, customers can be assured that their service will be incredibly fast and delicious.
This place serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, catering and my most favorite, THEY SERVE MARGARITAS!!

PUBLIC STEM ACADEMY ON-SITE AT THE TRIBUTE
A role model in Texas, Prestwick STEM Academy is an innovative environment for learning located on-site at The Tribute. Little Elm ISD opened Prestwick STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) K-8 Academy to create a collaborative learning environment. As a project-based learning campus, students take ownership of their learning, and teachers facilitate this approach by providing an authentic experience in lessons of discovery with real-world applications.

The Tribute was designed for homeowners to find enjoyment in every single day. The peninsula is a golfer’s paradise, but non-golfers appreciate the clubhouses with onsite restaurants worthy of the fastidious gourmet (or the finicky 5-year-old) and find another outdoor retreat in the nature trails. Beautifully landscaped canals throughout the development offer stunning views while enjoying your morning coffee. A resort-style pool and a separate kids’ spray park with nearby playground offer residents either a relaxing or exciting day in the water with family.


With miles of winding, scenic hike and bike trails and hundreds of acres of wide open spaces, The Tribute was designed as a natural habitat made to endure, from this generation to the next.
To visit The Tribute, travel north on the Dallas North Tollway until reaching Lebanon Road. Exit Lebanon Road and travel west for approximately 7 ½ miles until reaching the community.

Grand Homes was established in 1986 by its founder Stephen H. Brooks. He felt there was a need in the Dallas housing market for a company comprised of hardworking people dedicated to building quality homes. Homes that featured designs consumers wanted.

Grand’s first community, The Collections at Valley Ranch, was an instant success. It offered designs for the executive lifestyle that were attractive to the young professional. The community landed Grand Homes its first Home and Apartment Builder’s Award for best product in Dallas. Grand Homes had made its mark on the Dallas housing market, and has continued to do so with its communities through the years.

The rapid growth and immediate success of Grand Homes can be attributed to the creativity and dedication of Stephen Brooks. With over 30 years experience in the home building industry, he has been a key force in setting architectural trends. Grand Homes has sculpted some of the most popular features in the Dallas market such as front porches, stone accented exteriors, and second story verandas.

Grand Homes continues to thrive in the Dallas market with innovative, award-winning architectural designs. Grand builds over 400 semi-custom homes a year in 30 neighborhoods around the metroplex.
