Day 1 - Bakery, Shopping, Brunch, Murals, and Cuisine

Start your Rail District days at La Finca Coffee & Bakery where you'll love this family-owned business featuring small batch coffee, and in-house bakery and full menu. Your first shop stop is the flagship store of Tumbleweed TexStyles. You'll peruse Texana-inspo in hand-drawn and carefully crafted good from t-shirts to jewelry, glassware, home decor, and more. Didi's Downtown has you covered for lunch with delicious five-star food with a flair. Before you leave Didi's be sure to grab a picture on one or both of the murals on their exterior walls. There are more murals in the Rail District to discover as you make your way up and down Main Street and beyond! For dinner, enjoy a uniquely comfortable fine dining experience, with thoughtfully, locally sourced ingredients in a zero-waste kitchen at The Heritage Table.

Day 2 - Coffee, Games, Food Trucks, and Steak

Take in the atmosphere inside Summer Moon Coffee or relax on their patio out back. This popular locally owned Frisco coffee shop is known for unique Oak Roasted Coffee and signature sweet cream Moon Milk. Then, step right up and step into the fun at The Game Show Experience. This is a great option for friends, families, co-workers, pretty much anyone. It’s based on your favorite shows, giving you a chance to become a game show contestant. Win or lose there's always brunch! And the brunch menu at 5th Street Patio Cafe will not disappoint! Round two of shopping starts at Willow House on Main Street where you can find ladies apparel, shoes, accessories, plus items for men and kids, too! Buckle up for a hearty meal at Randy's Steakhouse, a family-owned restaurant serving fine cuisine from steak to seafood and an extensive wine list, in a Victorian home setting. Finish the night with music and fun at the Frisco Rail Yard. This food truck park has games, a bar, and live tunes to entertain as you soak in the downtown ambiance by the railroad tracks.

Day 3 - Shopping, Thai, and Burgers

You can't find a more down home, local breakfast cafe filled with the city's history than The Depot Cafe. Think traditional breakfast favorites, a cup of coffee, and great hospitality. Ready to shop some more? The Style House doubles as a salon and clothing boutique with curated favorites, including the cutest game day collections! Spice it up at Simply Thai Bistro for lunch, and while you are there, don't overlook those beautiful murals blooming nearby. Round out your day with dinner and a drink at Haystack Burgers & Barley. The fried pickles and burgers are fab. 

Day 4 - Tea, Shopping, Tacos, Beer, and Patio Vibes

For a final day visiting the Frisco Rail District start with a croissant and tea at Karmic Grounds Coffee + Tea Studio. Just around the corner on 7th Street, you'll love all the goodies you'll find shopping at Apple Blvd. From dresses to special gifts and accessories, they are big on trend and style. You have to get your taco time in! Marianas Taco Shop is small but packs a big punch of authentic Mexican flavor. Enjoy their patio seating then head next door to cheers at Three Empires Brewing Co. This is Frisco's first brewery, opened by a local couple who pours their heart into their nano brewery to pour you their favorite, creative beers. Convenience is key - you can literally walk next door for more shopping! Bittersweet Ivy is yet another charming, locally owned boutique committed to their customers always looking and feeling good.
