On a weekday in Prosper, the first espresso is pulled at 6 a.m. on East Broadway, when 1418 Coffee opens downtown. The last one comes 17 hours later on the other side of town, where Moka & Co. on East University Drive stays open until 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
Between those two hours, the town's coffee has been moving south toward US 380. Moka & Co., 85C Bakery Cafe and Summer Moon Coffee all opened or are opening on University Drive this year. This weekend, 85C's soft opening ends and Summer Moon holds its grand opening on Saturday, Nov. 7. After that, the 380 frontage covers more of the coffee day than any other part of Prosper. Downtown still has the earliest cup.
University Drive Picked Up Three Coffee Counters in One Year
The first was Moka & Co., which opened June 16 at 2281 E. University Drive, Ste. 10, according to Community Impact. It serves organic Yemeni coffee and spiced drinks, including mufawar made with cardamom and maleki made with honey and coffee husks, along with refreshers and matcha lattes.
Next was 85C Bakery Cafe, which soft-opened Oct. 8 at 5720 W. University Drive, Ste. 10, on the opposite end of the corridor. The Taiwanese chain sells sweet breads, buns, cakes and cookies, plus coffee, tea, matcha and boba.
Summer Moon Coffee comes third. Its café at 4325 E. University Drive, Ste. 10, has a grand opening confirmed for Nov. 7. The Texas-based chain roasts its coffee in-house and builds many of its drinks around Moon Milk, its signature sweet cream, Community Impact reported.
| Shop | Address | Opened | Posted hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moka & Co. | 2281 E. University Dr., Ste. 10 | June 16, 2026 | 7:30 a.m.–10 p.m. Mon–Thu; 7:30 a.m.–11 p.m. Fri; 8 a.m.–11 p.m. Sat; 8 a.m.–10 p.m. Sun |
| 85C Bakery Cafe | 5720 W. University Dr., Ste. 10 | Soft-opened Oct. 8, 2026 | 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Thu–Mon during the soft opening, which runs through Nov. 6 |
| Summer Moon Coffee | 4325 E. University Dr., Ste. 10 | Grand opening Nov. 7, 2026 | Not yet announced |
The table shows that each shop covers a different part of the day. Moka is the evening shop. Its weekday close of 10 p.m. comes an hour after any other confirmed coffee counter in town has closed. 85C, at least through this Friday, is a late-morning and early-afternoon bakery stop with a four-hour window. Summer Moon's hours will show what the east end of 380 adds next. As of mid-October, the café had not set a soft-opening date because it was waiting on construction.
East University Drive got one more food stop in October, though it is a market and not a café. Gourmet European Market opened its La Cima store at 1281 E. University Drive, Ste. 10, Community Impact reported. Its departments include bakery breads, sweets, deli and charcuterie, and European drinks, so you can pick up pastries and a loaf there on the way to or from a coffee stop.
Downtown Still Pours First
None of the University Drive openings matches 1418 Coffee's start time. The cafe at 102 E. Broadway opens at 6 a.m. Monday through Friday and stays open until 9 p.m. On Saturday it opens at 8 a.m. and closes at 9 p.m., and on Sunday it runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Moka opens at 7:30 a.m. on weekdays, so for the first 90 minutes of the workday 1418 is the only confirmed coffee counter in town that is open.
1418 is a locally owned chain, and it has been growing north. It opened two Celina locations this summer, at 565 S. Preston Road and 2287 N. Preston Road. For the Prosper cafe, the 1418 Coffee site credits a partnership with Sugar Loaf Bakery for the pastries it serves daily.
Downtown's evenings changed this fall as well. 1902 Restaurant opened Oct. 6 at 209 W. Broadway St., on the same street as the coffee counter. Its first-floor dining room and bar are open six days a week, serving steaks, pasta and seafood, according to Community Impact. The restaurant is named for Prosper's founding year. The Prosper-Celina Journal notes that the town was established in 1902 when the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad built its line through western Collin County. Rooftop seating, brunch, lunch and a second-floor speakeasy called Mary Ann's are planned, but none has a date yet. When brunch arrives, Broadway will offer a full late morning: coffee at 1418, then a sit-down meal down the street.
Where the Gaps Still Are
Put the confirmed hours side by side and you can see which parts of the week each end of town covers:
- Weekdays before 7:30 a.m.: only 1418 Coffee on Broadway.
- Weekend mornings at 8 a.m.: 1418 and Moka & Co. both open at 8 on Saturday and Sunday, one downtown and one on East University.
- Sunday after 5 p.m.: 1418 closes at 5, and Moka stays open until 10 p.m.
- Friday and Saturday after 9 p.m.: Moka & Co. is the only shop on this list still open, until 11 p.m.
- Tuesday and Wednesday at 85C: closed for the rest of the soft opening, which runs Thursday through Monday.
85C has not published its regular hours for after Nov. 6, and Summer Moon has not posted any hours yet. Those two schedules will decide whether the middle of the day on University Drive gets as crowded with options as its evenings are.
First Street's Quieter Pair
Six Sips Coffee Co. is a family-owned shop at 2770 W. First St., Ste. 15. Its focus is organic coffee and allergy-friendly baked goods. In February it opened a second, smaller counter inside Rock Creek Church at 2860 W. First St., with a shorter menu of pastries, espresso and tea, Community Impact reported. Neither shop posts a full weekly schedule, so check hours with the main shop before you go.
The Week Summer Moon Opens
The 85C and Summer Moon changes land on the same weekend as two other local events, so here is the order:
- Thursday, Nov. 5, and Friday, Nov. 6: the last two days of 85C's soft-opening schedule, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on West University Drive.
- Saturday, Nov. 7, 8 to 11 a.m.: the Prosper Veterans Day Honor Run at 1551 Frontier Parkway.
- Saturday, Nov. 7: Summer Moon Coffee's grand opening at 4325 E. University Drive.
- Monday, Nov. 9, 6 to 7 p.m.: "Seed to Cup: A Guided Coffee Tasting with 1418," which is free and covers 1418's McKinney roastery, craft roasting and how to taste flavor profiles. Community Impact's listing gives the location as 200 S. Main St., not the Broadway cafe, so confirm the address with 1418 before you go.
Further out, the Prosper Christmas Festival takes over Town Hall at 250 W. First St. on Saturday, Dec. 5, from 3 to 7 p.m. The Town's announcement lists skating, Santa's Workshop, live entertainment, a tree lighting and a drone show. The festival ends at 7 p.m., when downtown's coffee counter has two hours left before closing.
Frontier Parkway Is Next, Slowly
The next coffee stop is planned for the north side of town. A Dutch Bros Coffee is planned at 1500 W. Frontier Parkway. A Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing describes a $600,000 interior remodel for a 986-square-foot drive-thru shop, with construction projected to start Oct. 25, 2026, and finish by April 30, 2027. Those are permit projections, not an opening date. A company representative declined to comment on the location, according to Community Impact.
