1. CJ’s Coffee Cafe(Sherman/Denison)

Established in 2005.

CJ’s are located in the historic district of downtown Denison and have customized the old greyhound bus station into an urban design modern coffee house.

Cafe is a personal favorite, famous for consistently handcrafting the best espresso drinks in town. They’re also fantastic for breakfast and brunch fares, serving pastries, soups, salads, and sandwiches. Their avocado toast is a must to try for brunches, and their coffees have stunning latte art if you order without a lid/“in-house”.

Insider tip: Be sure to try their oatmeal — it’s the best I’ve ever had!

CJ’S bake bread and pastries in-house every morning. This includes making own dough from scratch; don’t get shipments of frozen (or even fresh) dough that then “bake.” dough is made from scratch at 4:30 a.m. every morning, so you get only the absolute finest. CJ’s fresh-baked pastries include scones, muffins, kolaches, ham & cheese croissants, and our famous cinnamon rolls. One can also get salads served with oat wheat rolls, as well as favorites such as our meat and cheese boards, comforting pot pies, and quiches. Be sure to check out the menu on their website for full details on everything we serve!

This are passionate about coffee and people! We have loved creating an atmosphere of comfort where the neighborhood can gather, slow life down for a moment, and connect.

CJ’s staff is made up of people who love their job, and it’ll show in every part of your experience while you’re here.

Come enjoy our free Wi-Fi computer bar that overlooks Main Street. Whether it’s to study, check up on Facebook, or meet some friends for lunch or afternoon coffee, we hope CJ’s will become your new favorite spot.

We look forward to meeting and getting to know you!
