Fun Fact
'Lemma' means an intermediate result in mathematics, used on the way to proving a theorem.
Mandatory Pontification
In the summer of 2021, I first encountered Lemma's espresso, which at the time earned first place on my coffee tastings in DFW. Since then, Lemma has reliably produced some of the best espresso I've encountered in the metroplex, certainly in Plano.
Lemma now has multiple coffee shops around Plano and Frisco. In Plano, their location is at the heart of downtown, although it is surprisingly accessible. Typically I have been able to park out front or across the street; barring especially heavy traffic, there is a nearby garage if you keep heading down 15th St and take a right at K Ave.
A positive note: I have consistently been able to find seating at this location. Working abounds here, for better or worse, making this a great spot if you want to read or bring a laptop.
If you are bringing young kids, don't anticipate to find much space inside. Instead, get the coffee to go (they still have options kids will enjoy and are friendly to kids!) and head to Haggard Park or, if it's open, the Interurban Railway Museum.
