Love this place! Always friendly service. I usually stop when I have afternoon appointments at UT Southwestern - it's near the hospital and I like hanging out here to work beforehand so I can skip the afternoon traffic. Staff are always super friendly and coffee and tea are great! Only complaint is a few times the black coffee has been lukewarm in the afternoons. Today that was solved by having an iced late (even lukewarm is too hot in Texas summer heat!). read more

I randomly found this coffee shop inside the Virgin Hotel and I'm so glad I stopped in. Funny Library Coffee Shop is such a cute, cozy spot and honestly feels like a hidden gem. The vibe is exactly what I like quiet, relaxed, and perfect if you need to sit down and get some work done or just reset for a bit. The staff was super friendly and welcoming which always makes the experience better. I'm not really a coffee girl, so I ordered a matcha with almond milk and it was really good smooth, not too strong, and made just right. I also grabbed a muffin and I wish I remembered the name because it was delicious. I only stayed for about an hour, but I'll definitely be back. If you're in the area and looking for a low key spot with good drinks and a chill atmosphere, this is a great place to check out. read more

Came here for a quick lunch in between errands. This is located inside a hotel and the decor was very cute and feminine. I ordered the salmon plate which was very fresh and tasty. Would love to come back in the evening to see the atmosphere at that time. read more

I've heard great things about this coffee shop. The vibes were immaculate. It's right off the Katy Trail in the virgin Hotel. The coffee shop was a lot smaller than I expected, really more of a counter and some booths. The shop has some overflow seating in the hotel lobby and flows directly to the hotel. I tried an iced chai latte and it hit the spot! read more

My cousin and I checked out this coffee shop on a Saturday morning. It was surprisingly empty which we enjoyed. The man who took our order was kind. We both enjoyed our drinks, a lot! We also had an almond croissant which was delicious! The spot is known for the ambiance and the ambiance did not disappoint in person. It is so cute! I really enjoyed it and definitely will be back! read more

Always a memorable experience here. Great coffee shop and great restaurant. Attached to Virgin Hotels.

DRINKS Spiced Brown Sugar Latte (iced) - Drink was alright. Nothing super special to it. There is a smidge of the spice taste but would've liked a bit more. Coffee isn't too bad though! VIBES Really nice place with ambient, dimmer lighting. Seems like a great place to get work done. Plenty of seating from tables to a long table with chairs to little nook areas. It was crowded when I came around 1:30 PM on Monday. SERVICE Service was great! Everyone was really nice and drinks came out fast! PARKING You can either park along the side (parallel parking) or pay for parking. A bit hard to navigate. read more

Discovered this coffee shop through the Dallas Coffee Shop passport, and it's a nice coffee shop located inside of the Virgin Hotel in downtown Dallas! For parking, you can park on the street for free or pay extra to pay in the hotel lot. The interior design of the place is super fun; I like how much character the place has and it's very nicely decorated. The service was nice and I got one of their summer specials, the mixed berry matcha! It was yummy and I liked the syrups that they used. The coffee shop is medium-sized and it seems like it's used by hotel guests or people who WFH to do their work or take meetings. The noise level is medium to medium-loud, so it's good if you're wanting to meet up with people or don't mind some noise. I don't know if I'd recommend studying there if you're trying to buckle down and focus; the tables are kind of small and the chairs were cute but not the most comfortable to sit in. But I think it's nice if you're looking for a place in downtown to do light work or socialize. read more

WHAT I ORDERED: Summer Berry Matcha Latte, Southern Wedding Cake Latte PARKING: Limited street parking INSIDE: This coffee shop is inside the Virgin Hotel with plenty of seating inside and on the patio. The barista was friendly and the drinks came out relatively quick. Not only do they have coffee drinks but food items are available to order. THE FOODS/DRINKS: Both drinks were delicious and part of the May 2024 specials! The raspberry in the matcha was flavorful and not overpowering, complimenting well with the matcha. The almond in the wedding cake latte was present and gave it a nice nutty taste. Both drinks had their respective flavors balancing well among the drink and I look forward to seeing what future specials they have. read more

Cute hidden must go coffee shop!! I came here last Sunday for a latte and it did not disappoint. I got the teddy bear ice latte with oatmilk and cinnamon cold foam ($6) and my friend got the ice chai w soy milk($7). Both were great- they don't charge for milk alternatives which is really nice and they have so much indoor seating for working/studying or catching up with someone. Our barista was really friendly and made our drinks quickly. We loved how it wasn't too quiet, but also not super loud. It's located inside the Virgin hotel so street parking can be a little tight, but worth the visit for affordable good coffee!! read more

This place is a fun eclectic design and I would expect nothing less as it's a Virgin Hotel property. It has limited pastry options, could use a few more. Coffee was excellent and the vibe well it's relaxing and charged at the same time. Good place to read, chat or even just relax with a good cup of Joe or tea. read more

Perfect place for WFH or if you're looking for a cute place to meet up with a friend/treat yourself! I came to Funny Library on a whim to take a few meetings and get some breakfast. Although there was music playing in the background, it did not bother me much and I was easily able to work! The service was excellent and the barista did a great job of offering me some recommendations. I ordered the Breakfast Tacos, which were filling and came with a delicious green salsa! I would definitely order it again. The basic black coffee that I drank was also great - no complaints! The inside of the coffee shop is super trendy and there are a variety of seating options. Parking is relatively easy as there is a lot right next to the hotel that the coffee shop is in. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to Funny Library if you're in the area! read more

It's a nice space within the Virgin hotel with a beautiful patio with seating and plants right outside. Some variability in the skill of the baristas but one young lady made me a wonderful cappuccino last week. All their syrups are from bottles. read more

Okay, my first few experiences with FL were okay, but I just thought the coffee's ok and the food is little to none. However I think that was just the slow opening after COVID. Now, let me tell you, the coffee is still enjoyable--but I wouldn't put it up there with the best. However, the pastries are amazing! They have a red croissant with all the raspberry yum. Today, I tried their breakfast tacos. While the price is fitting of a Dallas brunch spot, rather than a coffee shop, you're getting a full on entree with chef quality flavors. The tacos were soooo good. read more

It is connected and is inside of the Virgin hotel. Pastries are very good and coffee is pretty good. Ambiance is probably its strongest suit, it is very beautiful inside with lots of instagram moments. The bathroom is kind of hard to find, the nearest one is going to be inside the restaurant. It is called WC (for water closet) just like in Europe. Very nice bathrooms with privacy and towels if you need to poop. read more

What a cute spot! I came here to do some work and there were plenty of spots to sit at, as well as a little cafe to order coffee and dessert! It's connected to a hotel so even though the cafe closed at 5 PM, we were still able to sit and do work there past that time. My boyfriend ordered the funny choice coffee which was a random mix of flavors, and it was surprisingly delicious! I think his was a coconut lavender mix. read more

Unless you're staying at the hotel, finding parking is a pain, I must say. The pictures online definitely made me excited to visit this coffee shop. But it's smaller than I expected. It's well-decorated, and I love the whimsical theme they had going on. Friendly barista. Their espresso machine was broken, so I had an ice chai latte while my boyfriend had their cold brew with chai-recommended by the barista. My drink was a disappointment; it tasted like it was made from a poor mix. We did enjoy browsing their books while we drank our beverages, though. read more

Virgin Hotels and Richard Branson? Say no more, I sought this out on a chilly winter day while walking through Downtown Dallas. The name, sign, and of course Richard Branson business drew me in right away. For those not familiar with Sir Richard, he's quoted as saying "Train your employees so well they can leave, treat them so well that they don't want to." The ambiance of the Virgin Hotel and interior eateries is open, welcoming, soothing, and filled with everything you'd want. The staff is top notch. It felt like I got black tie bottle service when one of the cooks pointed me toward the bathroom. Haley, the barista, had the best suggestion of a "Matcha" Chai Latte when I was thinking of a simple, regular one. Got it with almond milk and it was one of the best I've ever had. There is a variety of plentiful seating, outlets, and amazing hotel guests from all over. Next time I'll strike up a conversation with a stranger. Lastly, the music in the background was some of the best I've heard, putting joyful thoughts in my head and a smile on my face during my entire drink. read more

The vibes in here at so nice! I love the creative decorations of this place. It gives the everyone is welcomed feel! Especially if you love music and being a creative. The cashier Natalie that made the lattes was really sweet. She had a big rush while she was helping me and was still very sweet and patient. She recommended me the Teddy Bear Latte so I'm trying that! It is sooooooo good and honestly I am not a cinnamon coffee girl! She did such a great job with this drink. I would definitely come back here if I was in the area for sure. read more

A review from a cafe-lover with an objective to do work: Don't expect much from the coffee, come for the weird and surprisingly cozy interior. There's plenty of space to sit, relax and study. You can easily find this cafe inside of the Virgin Hotel. When you walk in, you'll immediately notice it - trust me. Parking might be hard since it's around a lot of popular shops, apartments and restaurants so you might want to parallel park on the side of the street. If you're studying I would recommend sitting at the long table near the shelves. There's better lighting, you'll definitely feel more comfortable and you'll get to see the overall decor. It's super easy to connect with the wifi - it's the Virgin wifi. As for the coffee, it's just plain - it's not the best or the worst. It's average. I ordered the Soy Latte - tasted more like milk than coffee but just go to see it yourself. One last thing, if you need to use the restroom - good luck, it's like a short maze through the kitchen at the restaurant next door. read more

Love this very cool and hip library connected onto the Virgin Hotel! Super cool to walk into a modern feel to study, write, read, and relax! You can ordered coffee, tea, and have a fresh pasty! Or head to the bar area that's open to the library for food and cocktails! Nice vibe with light music playing over speakers and TV's displayed! Tick off in a solo spot or the table in the main area! Check for street parking, not hotel parking! You will be greeted by a host! Sit and relax, enjoy your funny library coffee experience! read more

Gorgeous place to do some work. Free Wi-Fi and lots of places to plug in. You get a lot of people who are also doing work, and some hotel guests who are just needing a quiet spot for a bit. The only con is that the food is ridiculously expensive. But it is delicious! read more

April 2023 S U M M A R Y I shouldn't have expected anything less from my favorite hotel in Dallas. This coffee shop is super cute with a lot of space to sprawl out and work. It's also a great spot to meet with friends or family. The coffee drinks were reasonably priced and the interior is exquisite. T A S T E Iced Mocha : definitely not the best mocha I've ever had but I did like that it wasn't too sweet. I am not a fan of sweet drinks. It was smooth and chocolatey. Some kind of latte (sorry) : my sister got this. So I don't remember what kind she got but she really liked it. We also both got oat milk in our drinks instead of any other kind of milk. S E R V I C E The service is minimal. You walk up to the coffee bar if you want to purchase a drink or pastry and they make the drink right there in front of you. There was a discrepancy with the price and we went to go sit down and the manager came up to us and gave us a receipt showing that she corrected the price so that was quite proactive and much appreciated. A M B I E N C E I love the vibe of this hotel. I love the furniture. I just love everything. It's very colorful and fun and funky. But at the same time it's very quiet. The coffee shop also opens up to the bar which is very quiet during the day. We went around 11 AM. The actual coffee shop is very very small. Smaller than it looks on videos or pictures but it does open up to a much bigger space (bar and restaurant - I believe) P R I C E 7$ per drink with oat milk. R A T I N G 2 stars off because I've had better mochas and we caught the price discrepancy (though they quickly and happily fixed it) read more

I visited the Funny Library Coffee Shop yesterday after seeing it pop up on peers' social media stories. Since I was looking for a different place to study, I made the trip over. I parked on the street in front of the hotel, but those spots are pretty limited. I think that main reason anyone comes to the Funny Library is for the ambiance. The decor is completely fun and unlike any other cafe I've worked at! It made my mundane work a little more thrilling, probably enhancing my productivity. It seems like a lot of other people felt the same way, because the cafe was full of people! Some visiting with friends, many working or studying alongside me. It seems like it would be a great place to bring coworkers to have a little meeting. Plentiful seating and many nooks if you need more privacy. The wifi was easily accessible (just through the hotel), and the cafe is dog-friendly! The only con I have about the ambiance is that part way through my visit, it seems like someone sprayed a fragrance that just hung in the air. It was a little overpowering. Another comment I'll make about the ambiance is that they do play music over speakers. It was not quiet, but as soon as I put my noise canceling headphones in, it wasn't distracting. Maybe not the best place to go though if you need to participate in a zoom call. In terms of service, my experience was pretty limited. When my drink wasn't readily available, one of the servers did go into storage to grab me one! That was nice! Like many in these reviews, I agree that the drinks and food are overpriced. I spent ~$4.40 on a can of Diet Coke. Pretty steep. That said, it felt like a fine "entry fee" to being able to work somewhere new today. read more

After reading some yelp reviews and looking for cool coffee spots while visiting DFW, I'm really glad I came across the Funny Library! I tried their ice vanilla latte, and it was pretty good. They also had a wide selection of pastries and other breakfast items. The pricing for food in my opinion was a little high, but that's probably to be expected in this area. The coffee shop is situated inside of the hotel, but it definitely feels like it's own place. There is a lot of comfortable seating, and the light fixtures and other decor really add to the ambience. There were plenty of books to grab from the shelf to browse through too which is a nice touch. Overall, it was a fun and different scene to explore while I was visiting and I'm glad I checked it out! read more

The aesthetic here at the Virgin hotel is A1. I came down this morning to do some work and grab coffee instead of doing it in the hotel room. I was NOT expecting their prices to be so high. It was 8 or 9$ for a dirty chai, not including milk alternatives. That's nuts! Even in LA I've never spent that much for a cup of chai. Anyways They didn't have chai so I opted for a macchiato instead which was 3/4$. It came in a small but very cute mug (I'd love some of these for my house). All and all I would come back if I visit Dallas again and the virgin hotel. They had strong wifi, beautiful furniture/layout and lots of plugs! Thank you read more

This coffee shop reminds me a lot of another coffee shop/cocktail bar I went to in NYC. Both are super aesthetic and give off very luxurious vibes. Given this is inside Virgins Hotel, I'm not surprised they went all out with their coffee shop too. My friend and I ordered chai lattes and matcha lattes. I really enjoyed my chai latte, but I wish they had mixed the chai a bit more. I wasn't a huge fan of the matcha--they mixed the matcha well, but it was lacking a stronger matcha flavor and was a bit too bitter for my taste. Regardless, I think this coffee shop is great for studying or working. It's unfortunate it's so far out of the way, but still a great place to take photos and chill. read more
