Very surprised that I had to walk in twice to ask somebody to take care of me on the patio. It’s been over 15 minutes waiting outside.

The yirgacheffe coffee attached is easily one of my favorite coffees of all time. Please never stop selling it.

This is the cutest breakfast spot! The avocado toast was so delicious. The coffee is wonderful. The atmosphere and service was excellent! I will definitely be going back! They also have a lunch menu.

This has been my neighborhood coffee shop for just shy of two years. The staff here are warm and attentive, the leadership care about their staff. The food is better and more affordable than many of the high end restaurants around for a fraction of the price. I love it here and there are many weeks I come almost everyday just for the energy I get when I’m here.!

First time here, and it definitely won’t be my last. The atmosphere is super cozy—soft warm lighting instead of harsh white lights, high ceilings, and beautiful floor-to-ceiling glass walls.

The menu is very satisfying. It’s a great spot whether you’re coming for lunch or just coffee. They offer free valet parking, but it’s a good idea to bring a little cash to tip the valet.

From the moment that you enter the parking lot, the experience is really awesome!!! Free valet, kind attendant, amazing servers, really good Hisbiscus tea, flaky croissants, great ambiance for business or leisure... THIS PLACE IS TOO GOOD!!! The neighborhood is a great space for walking afterwards.

The food was good but the service was pretty bad. Not rude or anything they just couldn’t get my order right. The cashier didn’t put my order in right the first time so I had to pay again for my order. They then made the sandwich wrong so I went and had it remade. Then they made it wrong again because the cashier again put my order in wrong. I didn’t get it remade again because I was tired of going back up to ask. Food was good, just not what I ordered.

This used to be my favorite cafe in dallas and their drinks and coffee are still top notch. I tried their riverside punch (Kyoto cold brew with chai) and it was delicious. Well-balanced flavors and surprisingly refreshing

But I am very disappointed in the baked goods. I ordered a fresh croissant at 9am and asked for it to be toasted, the croissant came completely stale and tasted like it had been left on the counter for a day. The dough was so tough and dry to chew and swallow. The waiter confirmed that it was fresh from bakery that they received in the morning. Truly unacceptable quality. I took a bite and told the waiter that it's inedible, he threw the croissant away but I still got charged (which I'm okay with). I had their brunch food in the past which I liked but this croissant puts me off and made me doubtful of their other food offerings. I will only return for drinks in the future.

Baked goods should be fundamental of a boutique coffee shop. This is truly disappointing.

The best down under coffee shop in Dallas. I think 🤔

Very poor service. We sat for over 10 minutes and not one person even acknowledged us. A waiter came by and tried to tell us that the half-drunk glass of water already on the table before we sat down was ours — we aren’t blind. He walked away without asking if we’d like to order anything.

We went inside to see if we could place an order and were told someone would come by, but no one ever did. We decided our Benjamin Franklins were better spent elsewhere.

Your loss — the café at the neighboring Virgin Hotel has amazing food and impeccable service. Try them instead; you’ll never want to come back here.

The atmosphere of this place is excellent — I really loved it. However, I was a bit disappointed with my order. I asked for sunny-side-up eggs but received scrambled eggs instead. I didn’t mention it at the time because I was very hungry after finishing my fast.

I also noticed there were quite a few employees standing around without much to do. The restaurant wasn’t very busy, so it seemed unnecessary to have that many staff members, especially when they weren’t paying much attention while taking orders.

That said, the food itself was absolutely delicious, and I genuinely enjoyed the flavors. With a little more attention to service, this place could easily be perfect.

Absolutely amazing coffee! The vibe is so nice! Just passing through Dallas looking for good coffee and couldn’t be happier with my experience here!

Great atmosphere!! The front counter taking out order held a conversation with us and gave recommendations.
