The Pony Expresso sits on Houston Street in Wills Point as a cozy neighborhood cafe where the pace slows just enough to savor good coffee and friendly company. It’s the sort of spot locals swing by to catch up with familiar faces or take a moment for themselves without feeling rush. You’ll find an inviting porch alongside varied seating that makes it easy to settle in—whether you’re looking to decompress after a busy day or fuel up before heading out again.

The coffee menu balances classic and creative, with reliable staples like cappuccinos and Americanos alongside a rotating winter seasonal lineup that has visitors coming back to try drinks with names like Reindeer Wrangler and The Polar Expresso. Those who appreciate sweeter or sugar-free options will find thoughtfully crafted flavored lattes and syrups that let you tailor your experience. Service tends to be quick, with baristas who seem to know regulars well and keep peak times moving smoothly.

People often describe the drinks here as comforting—like a caramel latte that feels like a warm hug on a chilly morning. The vibe leans casual but personal, almost like dropping in at a friend’s place. Local goods sprinkled into the shop offer a small taste of community beyond just coffee, making it practical for visitors wanting a local touch. Afternoon and early evening visits tend to catch the best light on the porch, perfect for outdoorsy folks and those who like a quieter corner to read or work.

In short, The Pony Expresso works well as a laid-back stop for Wills Point residents and travelers passing through who want more than just a caffeine fix—a genuine place to slow down, enjoy original drinks, and soak up the friendliness of a smaller town coffee scene.

We always pass by this coffee shop, but we are usually too late This time we made it! Woot woot! The drink I had was VERY good. However, I forgot the name of it. I believe it was a new drink that they offer. It had the word “buss” in it, so you know it was bussin (as the kids say). It was almost like an iced mocha, but BETTER. I absolutely love the way it was decorated. The customer service was good as well! I will definitely be returning!

Each sip of the caramel latte taste like a warm hug. Truly the best coffee I’ve ever had! The staff is so sweet and remembers their regulars orders which helps speed the line up. I’m never in line for more than 2-3 minutes! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The holiday menu is so good. I definitely recommend you check it out before its gone. That being said. They will give you chocolate covered beans. Whatever you do dont eat the darker one. Its nasty and bitter. The light covered bean is really good though.

Service is always exceptional !! Amazed that that many people work in such a small place and don't trip over one another. Everyone knows exactly what they are doing and drinks come out perfect and very quick.

I needed a place to decompress after being in Dallas, and this place was perfect. It has all sorts of unique seating. You feel more like you are in someone's home. I chose to sit on the porch. The coffee was great, and I live that they sell things from the locals. I love supporting individuals. I am looking forward to stopping next time I drive through!

First time here today. They made a pretty cool blend thing for me that was really good. Will be back.

Even though I haven’t had a chance to make it into this lovely location I think I can speak truthfully here that this location is a must visit as well (hence my multiple reviews at the Canton shoppe) Katie’s businesses are THRIVING! P.s. check out their walk in portion located behind the drive through window during less busy times it’s discreet but small while simultaneously CUTE.

Had a long day and decided to stop by this coffee shop on my way home and it was great! Everyone was super sweet and caring. The coffee was great too, but the people were amazing. Can’t wait to come back!
