If you're looking for a spot that actually nails the "coffee by day, cocktails by night" transition, Halcyon is it. It's got that airy, high-ceiling energy that's perfect for getting work done without feeling like you're trapped in a cubicle. The Vibe: It's cool without trying too hard. You'll see local art on the walls and plenty of natural light. By day, it's a laptop paradise with lo-fi beats; by night, the lights dim, the music picks up, and the patio becomes the place to be--especially if you have a dog in tow. Happy Hour (3 PM - 7 PM Daily): This is the real draw. Their Espresso Martini is a local legend, but the Chocolate Espresso Martini is the move if you want something decadent. If you're there on a Tuesday, they run happy hour prices all night. Don't sleep on the $5 pimento grilled cheese--it's the ultimate "I'm not that hungry but I need a snack" food. The People: Expect a very "Lower Greenville" crowd: a mix of productive millennials, SMU students with headphones on, and groups of friends sharing s'mores kits (yes, you can roast them at your table). The staff is laid-back and friendly, though they definitely stay hustling during the weekend brunch rush. Bottom line: It's reliable, unpretentious, and arguably the best spot on the block to switch from a latte to a lager without changing seats. read more

Halcyon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We tried halcyon for weekend brunch! The wait staff were not rude by any means but were quite low energy/unwarm. However they were attentive and the overall ambiance was nice and upbeat for a brunch place. Food wise, everything here was average. Nothing stood out as something I absolutely would come back for. We got two Benedict's that were not very warm and has hollandaise/gravy that was not very flavorful but the home fries were seasoned and fried well. The French toast was quite good but was very obviously put in the microwave right before serving with a steaming hot center. The best part was the blueberry kale salad which had a nice vinaigrette and the cashews were a nice touch. Overall, with the number of brunch spots in Dallas I would reserve halcyon for study/coffee spot as opposed to a must try weekend brunch. read more

This environment was very cute, but you could tell how stressed the staff was bc of how disorganized it was! They were very kind however. Biscuits and gravy were way too salty, but the açaí bowl and kale yea salad slapped. Vietnamese coffee was a treat I usually can't find that good! read more

Came here after church because we heard it was a solid breakfast spot, and it lived up to the hype. The service was amazing and genuinely friendly. Our waitress popped up out of nowhere and scared us a little -- I told her she was a ninja because I didn't even see her coming. She just laughed and kept the good energy going the whole time. The orange juice was good -- not my absolute favorite, but still refreshing. I ordered the skillet and my partner went with the breakfast burrito. Both were solid choices and full of flavor. We customized each dish a bit, and they came out exactly how we wanted, which is always appreciated. The whole place has a cool, relaxed vibe. You can tell it's the kind of spot people actually enjoy hanging out in. They even do date night Fridays with a movie and hot chocolate, which we definitely want to come back and try. Feels like a fun little neighborhood tradition waiting to happen. Only thing to keep in mind -- there's no designated parking, so if you find a spot, grab it quick. Other than that, great breakfast, great service, and a place we'll be revisiting for sure. read more

Halcyon - Build Your Own Skillet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We came for Trivia Night! They offer trivia on Saturday nights at both 8:30pm and 9:30pm. We arrived around 7:45pm and perused the drink menu. We both decided on caffeine instead of cocktails tonight, but their cocktail menu looked delicious! The gentleman manning the bar was really helpful in answering questions and getting us started. Both got 160z lattes, plain, his with oat milk and mine with almond milk. They were served in for-here ceramic mugs. The temperature and taste were both perfect. We had an absolute blast competing in trivia night and thought the emcee did a wonderful job. We wished we could have stayed for the second game, but needed to get home. The ambiance of the place was much more spacious than we expected. There were a mix of high-top tables, booths, low top chair tables, comfortable chairs and I think I saw a couch too. The music was just the right volume to be able to study or carry on a conversation. We agreed, we will absolutely be back for Trivia Night, but will also come back for the coffee, relaxing vibe and great service. read more

Wonderful staff. This is an amazing shop. Coffee shop by day and bar by night. It's perfect for a long day of studying or doing work or enjoying the night with friends. Great espresso martinis and amazing food. Beautiful interior and outdoor seating. Parking is sometimes full cause of how amazing this space is and its location. Loved the variety of seating and the lovely atmosphere. Right next to some iconic Dallas spots read more

I found the perfect corner table with an outlet which made for a great remote working day. Halcyon is a Woman-Owned cafe and bar and their menu always impressed me. I had a bacon egg and cheese breakfast burrito and a brown sugar latte that was *chef's kiss.* This day gave me all the fun vibes and this cafe is always one I recommend out of towners check out when they want to relax in the city for a few hours. read more

Very cute and open spaced coffee shop with a bar and patio seating. I got the Thai iced coffee and thought it was decent. Their cocktails were pretty good and they do have happy hour from 3-7 pm. Also they have food!! Portion sizes were pretty big. I recommend the hummus and nacho tots! Service was good, coffee came out pretty fast. read more

I frequent Halcyon because it is such a great place to get some work done during the day. It's a very cozy lounge with multiple outlets so you can plug in your electronics. I've ordered a bunch of things on the menu but my favorite is the mimosa flight that they have. The service is okay to me, the people at the front are not always the friendliest unfortunately but I just order and keep it pushing. The only con is the parking!!!! The lot is shared by multiple businesses so that can be annoying if you don't come on time. read more

The inside is spacious with plenty of different seating options, which is great depending on the mood I'm in. I also love all the natural lighting. My burrito was bigger than what I was expecting, and it automatically came with hot sauce, which was a nice touch. I enjoyed my coffee, but next time I'll ask for it half sweet since it was a little too sweet for me. Besides that, they also host events that are worth checking out, so I definitely recommend giving this place a try. read more

I got the vegan breakfast burrito with a side of potatoes, and the person I was dining with got the salmon avocado toast. The burrito was very good and I loved the salsa! The potatoes were also great. The salmon avocado toast was interesting, though, because the bread wasn't toasted. It wasn't bad, though! read more

Be it beast-moding at the bar, a yap with a friend or grabbing a nightcap, this place has been the ole jaunt for a minute. Vibes are modern meets spice- geometric shapes with pops of color. Flyers for upcoming events boasts wine and succulents, movie nights, Girl Dinner and more. So, there's community support. Order at the counter and get a numbered sign. They have menus on the wall and laminated options. Breaky is served till a decent time (check the website for final hours). Music played overhead is always uptempo and appreciated. The place is spacious: boasting booths, high tables, and chairs for one-on-ones. Plus, there's seating outdoors. The dish wear is giving fancy aunt. Plenty of caffeinated options (fyi: the chai latte has the most!) , smoothies, and noms. Drinks: the flight options are a blast. See my photos for suggestions. I've tried it all. The trickiest part is finding parking. If it's around lunch time, most weekdays, there are surrounding lots. Once school lets out/weekend, there are challenges. There's valet across the street. Mind the parking signage once you get into the residential neighborhoods. Enjoy! read more

I enjoy this place for its drinks as well as it vegan food but I will say it's popular and can take forever to get in, get your order placed, get your drink and or food, and enjoy it. The vibes are chill though when it's not busy as heck. read more

cozy factor: 5/5 Warm lighting, lots of plants, and great old school music. cuppa joe quality: 5/5 They have a straightforward menu and a surprising list of coffee cocktails that I was tempted to try. But, I stuck with something simple and ordered the Thai Iced Coffee. In terms of the cuppa joe quality- I'll give them a 4 out of 5. The coffee was smooth, strong, sweet but really just tasted like a regular iced coffee to me. crowd watching: 5/5 Crowd watching was minimal. There weren't many customers on a Friday evening. customer service: 4/5 Everyone was pleasant and they weren't rude when I asked for the wifi password. remote work friendliness: 3/5 I've got to give Halcyon a 4.5/5. The space is massive. There are lots of tables for work and plenty of outlets to plug in to. Light to medium noise level- but I did go on a Friday evening. read more

Originally was planning to stop by Cafe Duro for all the matcha madness on their menu, but they were closed on New Year's Day, so we ended up walking a block down to Halcyon and it was such an easygoing vibe. Unfortunately, I do feel like the menu items are a bit overpriced...$9 for a small iced matcha but I digress. I ended up also trying the $4 happy hour cardamom pear mimosa and it was a nice size and flavor, but nothing I would yearn for again. Bartenders were super accommodating and open to any drink modifications I requested. Everyone in the shop was either working or catching up alongside lo-fi tunes. read more

The vibes at Halcyon are THERE! We had an Airbnb in the area and walked in and we're immediately enthralled by the decor. There's so many beautiful plants that I couldn't help but stare at. The place itself is spacious, with lots of natural lighting, giving it a great vibe. Plenty of people were there working, studying, having meetings, or just enjoying the atmosphere. They even have board games, trivia nights, events, and drag shows. The employees were very friendly and helpful with our many questions. We enjoyed their Thai Coffee, iced green tea, plenty of yummy cocktails, turkey club, and margarita flatbread. The cocktails were delicious. I enjoyed the strawberry jalapeño margarita and the Becky with the ok hair. Both were well balanced and refreshing drinks. My fiancé enjoyed the berry white and an old fashioned. He said the cocktails were made well. The food was ok. Just ok. The turkey club was good, but very salty. I had to remove some of the deli meat to take away the saltiness. My fiancé said his flatbread was fine, but tasted bland and store bought. It was disappointing considering the interior is so charming and the drinks were delicious. Honestly, I could overlook the less than ideal food for the rest of the Halcyon experience. Overall, I'd come back and I recommend checking it out if you're in the area. read more

The vibe of this coffee shop was unbelievable! It was crazy how relaxed and calm this environment was even though they had a decent amount of customers while we were there. They stay open until 10pm, which is great if you work later like us. My chai was great, and his coffee was coffee (although he frequents this cafe & said it was great). Love the ambiance and menu of this place! We will be back :) read more

If you are looking for a good brunch or coffeehouse then Halcyon should be on your list if you are in the northeast suburbs of Dallas, Texas. We ordered their Elvis French Toast, Vegan Skillet, Vegetarian Skillet, and a 7 Choice Skillet. Everything was fresh and delicious. The toast is sour dough and comes with house made jam. I would also suggest ordering their mocha latte w/ Oat Milk too with the meal (very good). We arrived 10:30 am on a Sunday but the wait was minimal (20 minutes). Parking can be a challenge but not horrendous. I would suggest you come earlier than 10:30 am. Ambience is nice with seating inside and out. Kid friendly and dog friendly for the outdoor seating area. Cost is good and portion are good enough. You might want to order more if you are a big eater or very hungry (thus the 4 Stars). read more

Kind of obsessed with this place... if you can get a seat! It's a busy spot because it's oh-so-cozy with a ton of natural lighting, really comfy seating, fantastic coffee, a delicious menu of salads, sandwiches (gluten free bread options), and breakfast pastries, and a full bar! What more could you need? Order at the counter, find yourself a little space, and hang out for awhile. read more

Cute breakfast joint! A good amount of vegan options available and even says vegan friendly on the door. The food was pretty good and the price was about what I'd expect. They have an assortment of baked goods and one of the options was vegan as well and had gluten free options available too. read more

Peeps. I like this spot. Busy on Sundays and loud, so bring your buds if you need a quiet space. It's big enough not to be intimate, but small enough not to be overwhelming. Also a lot of natural light on a Sunday afternoon. I'll come back at night to see what's up. Coffee is good too. #Pkast read more

Omg I just came for the mimosa flight but left having so much more. I can't wait to go back. There is plenty of seating. Parking, doable, because there is a parking lot across the street, but it is shared with another restaurant, so you may have to park on the street. I came here specifically for the mimosa flight because my friend had tried it and told me how tasty they were. You can choose up to 4 different types of mimosas, and they have a large variety to try. I tried the thai basil, the apple cinnamon, mango chili lime, and the lemon lavender. My favorites were the apple cinnamon and the mango chili lime. I wasn't planning on getting anything to eat, or I wanted to eat something really light, but they didn't have oatmeal or anything like that. So, of course, the only option was to get beignets because that's a healthy breakfast of champions. Four come in an order, and you can add chocolate sauce, strawberry sauce, or caramel sauce. But when I ordered food, of course, my daughter wanted to order food too. She got the chocolate chip pancakes and a side of bacon. And because I'm on her mother and wanted to make sure that she wasn't poisoned, I had to taste the bacon, and it was perfectly cooked. I was really hoping that she did not want all of it, but she devoured it, so I only got a taste. I will definitely come here again so I can try more food options and probably get more beignets and mimosa flights. They were not the traditional beignets. They were flaky, but they were so good! read more

I come here often and usually love what I order, the country style Benny. But today it was terrible, chicken is as thick as a dime and extremely difficult to cut. I basically ate egg biscuit and chicken skin. Extremely disappointing. I would've said something but I was working and didn't notice until I was halfway through the first one. Only reason I'm not giving a 1 star for what's usually is a 5 star experience is because the customer service is always so good. read more

Popped in to meet a friend for lunch on a Thursday after noon and I must say, I've been missing out. I've driven by this place numerous times just didn't know what I have been missing!! So there is free parking behind Val's cheesecake - don't let this be the reason you don't go - and the menu isn't just coffee and baked good that you would get at other shops. They have a diverse menu and if I must say, Matt whips up a pretty damn good drink. You order at the counter, pick up your own drink from the bar and seat yourself . . . Basically what I'm telling you is there isn't a waiter coming over every five minutes asking can they get you anything else. This is like the coffee shop where you can relax, hang out and drink because the zoom meeting lasted longer than it needed to. I had the chicken biscuit which had a little spice a little sweet and was just enough. I washed that down with mimosa flight - which I was surprised with the options and all were yummy! However I stayed long enough to also indulge in an Irish coffee - which had a nice kick to it. I'll definitely be back and look forward to bringing more folks with me. read more

I came here for a few hours to wfh. There's a crowd of people here between the late morning/early afternoon (visited on a Friday). People do start to head out after 11:30 am so it's easier to find a table with charging ports. The music is loud so if you come here to work and take meetings, be mindful! My coffee order ran me ($8+). Iced latte with macadamia nut, white chocolate and oat milk. Pretty pricey compared to other coffee shops. They do offer a variety of food, but I didn't get a chance to try their items during my visit. Bathrooms are clean which is a plus!! I saw that they host events here so I will definitely come back. Nice cafe in the area. read more
