Your one-stop coffee shop located in the Allen Public Library.
Welcome to Food for Thought Market and Cafe! We are a family-owned cafe that resides in the Gallery of the Allen Public Library. We serve a variety of hand-crafted drinks (with coffee from local roasters Coffee del Rey), sandwiches, baked goods and salads to go. All made fresh in our kitchen daily!
It takes a community to serve a community.
Here at Food for Thought, we believe that it takes a community to serve a community. That is why we are proud to be partners of these local businesses. We invite you to come to the cafe and experience the fruits of The Cookie Guy’s and Coffee del Rey’s culinary craftsmanship and coffee magic in person at our cafe. Our website and social media person, Katherine Battle, also does freelance work for businesses and non-profits. You can contact them directly and find out more on how they can serve you by visiting their websites and social media pages.
