Great find in the neighborhood! Â Have seen the place in passing for a couple of years, just never had made it in until this weekend. Â So glad I did, and hate that I've been missing out. Â We didn't venture past the appetizers this time, but loved the tuna, cheese board and spinach dip. Â Can't wait to try the entrees next time - especially the bourbon peach flatbread. Â Lovely - but pricy - wine list, not any truly inexpensive options. Â There was live music on Saturday - a young couple, he on acoustic guitar, she on ukelele - if you're a fan of Sirius' Coffeehouse, you'd have been in heaven - as we were. Â We'll be back.
Review Source:Super nice waitress and staff. She made us custom skinny margaritas. We didn't know they had full bar until we got there - more than a wine bar for sure. definitely recommend as evening place to hang out for groups or a couple. Â
My only recommendation would be to play better live music. They need singer/songwriter/acoustic type environment. Music was skewed a bit old when we were there.
Aperitivos is a nice location to visit for a relaxing evening for beer / wine and maybe some tapas. Â Not sure , if I would advise for an evening meal.. but we have enjoyed a number of evenings at this restaurant.
For Flower Mound, it's relatively unique from a style perspective. Has a european style layout and approach.
 Drop by, if your looking for an enoyable casual evening (w/out kids :-)
So, worth noting that I think places like Apertivos are good for the area: as someone who spends some time here, I'd love to see more home grown biz (especially those who are doing things that are interesting) happen. We all know how big box stores work, and sometimes there's joy to be had in something small, carefully curated, with innate attention to special details.
I'm not saying that's exactly what Apertivos is, mind you, but it's closer than much of the strip center offerings could be to that idea.
Anyhoo, we dropped by on an afternoon during the holidays for a glass of wine and a beer or two, and found this spot a cozy respite from the cold outside. Both the wine and beer lists are fairly moderate in number, and the selections not particularly risky. But the dessert lover's wine was fine, and I settled into a Hoegarten or two to stave off the weather. Â Service was friendly but as they got busy they were clearly a little understaffed, so know that if this is typical you may want to plan your stop at times when servers aren't in the weeds. That said, I'd definitely go back though: here's hoping they iron out a few of the remaining wrinkles.
As a result of my review, I got an email from Chuck offering a gift certificate for me to give them another chance. Â After some thought, I decided to give them another chance. Â I followed Chuck's directions in trying to get the gift certificate offered. Â I contacted Apertivos and mentioned I needed to pick up a gift certificate. Â They had no idea what I was talking about. Â I asked to have someone call me, perferably Chuck. Â I never received a call. Â I called again and left a message. Â Again no call. Â I even responded to Chuck via Yelp email indicating my difficulting in obtaining the gift certificate. Â AGAIN - no response. Â I GIVE UP!!! Â This place is a waste of time and they have a lot to learn regarding customer service and follow-up skills.
Review Source:Was here only once and enjoyed the atmosphere and experience. Â The live music was good and not too loud (Small venue + loud music = two thumbs down). Â We will have to try the food the next time we go; only had wine and enjoyed the music on this visit. Â I wish they had one more seating area where there were comfy chairs and a couch. Other than that it was really nice.
Review Source:My wife and I stopped in for lunch recently not knowing what to expect. However, we were very pleasantly surprised once we stepped inside. It's a full coffee bar and wine bar that also has a nice selection of beer and liquor, if that's your thing. For lunch we ordered entrees, rather than the lighter fare. I enjoyed the pork shanks with chipotle bbq sauce and my wife thought the chicken cordon bleu was quite good as well. While the menu called for asparagus to accompany my meal, grilled squash and zucchini was silently substituted instead. While I enjoyed the vegetables, letting me know of the substitution ahead of time would have been preferable. But that's a bit of a nit which I quickly forgot about once I tasted those tender pork shanks, which were excellent.
Overall, Aperitivos looks like it's shaping up to be a favorite spot for any time of day for us. We've already planning on heading back in the evening for drinks and live music with friends. Certainly worth checking out and highly recommended.
Went there this morning with my daughter before school. Â Thought about taking her to fast food for a surprise breakfast. Â Decided to come here to mix it up a bit. Â It was a very nice environment and the food was quite good. Â We liked sitting and chatting. Â Definitely will come back here!
Review Source:OK.  I am glad that I can write a positive update for this establishment!  I just dig the ambiance.  I don't get too excited about the décor and feel (unless it's just nasty or odd) of a restaurant, I'm about the food.  I came in again to see if I could get a waffle and waffle I did receive.  Was it the best waffle I have ever had? Am I a waffle connoisseur? No. BUT to be fair I think waffles are and item that even a perfect waffle is almost no better than an OK waffle.  Let's face it, waffles are either OK or horrible, as if there was a missing ingredient or way too much of something else.  My point? I ain't no waffle expert.
I stopped in here with friends for a drink and ended up eating dinner plus apps. The Chalkboard said "Waffles $3.75 add fruit for $1.00". Â Again, waffles are something that I would make myself and rarely if ever order in a restaurant (even at 3am), and are plentiful in the hotels where I stay (100+ nights a year). Â I think there is a subliminal message that demanded I come in for waffles! This has been over three weeks coming, I was on a cruise for 7 days and could have eaten my weight in waffles had I wanted. Â I did not partake in the waffles. Â Maybe it was just being denied. Maybe I need therapy?
I do like this little place. Â My taste is too diverse; I'm too old and work too much to "hang out" at any one place. Â BUT should you happen to be near the Shops of Highland Village I would stop in and check it out. Open for breakfast (they have more than waffles), lunch and dinner. Â The coffee is very good the pastries look amazing and the flat bread pizza is light and tasty.
This is just what the area needed! Coffee and wine, the best of both worlds. I am a huge fan of "Segafrredo" Italian coffee and that is exactly what they serve. The hours are great, opening early at 6am! The smell of fresh baked scones, cinnamon buns and muffins are a great way to start your day. The vast menu is adventurous with pannini sandwiches, healthy salads, hummas, greek yoguart parfaits, and many sweet endings. Homemade italian sodas are fun too. Local musicans play live on Friday and Saturday nights. I am looking foward to enjoying brunch their with my family. Excellent wine and cheese lists. As soon as the cooler weeather hits I will be sure to snuggle up to the fireplace with an Irish Coffee! Bravo, Aperitivo's!
Review Source:This is my favorite concept. Take the coffee bar attitude of Starbucks, throw in food like a diner, add wireless like an Internet cafe and at night, offer wine, and I am there!
The food consist of breakfast fare with flair (Lox, panini's, Kilbasa in burritos) and pizzas and sandwiches for lunch and dinner and trust me it is quite tasty.
The coffee bar has alcohol shots to correct your coffee, smoothies, iced drinks and teas.
I think I found a new Saturday morning and Sunday morning hangout not to mention a M-F evening spot... I guess their slogan is true, they really are "The neighborhood's living room".
