I buy the Hidden City espresso roast from Howdy Honey Coffee and Bakery in Grapevine to use in my Breville Barista, and the results are phenomenal. Once you get it dialed in, you'll be pulling shots like you favorite barista. Great aroma, taste and super consistent. Will continue to buy and would definitely recommend. read more

Not vegan-friendly. Not really people-friendly, if we're being honest. The only milk option is unpasteurized cow's milk. The vibes? Overwhelming. Overstimulating. ... hot coffee in a mason jar?? Straight to jail. They're clearly trying to be eco-conscious, which... respect. But somewhere along the way, they lost the plot by refusing to acknowledge that plant milks exist in the year 2026. Also, no WiFi. None. Yet somehow every table is occupied by someone aggressively typing on a laptop Overall vibe: not welcoming, mildly chaotic, and confusing in a way that feels intentional but not successful. read more

Unfortunately, my rating is the way it is due to the limited offerings of milks here at this café. I traveled about 20 to 30 minutes to come to this location to try the coffee and upon ordering an in-house latte with oat milk. I was told that they only serve whole milk and was left so disappointed because the place was packed and look like it was a promising coffee place and so I ultimately had to leave and go somewhere else read more

Hey peeps. Made my way to this house. It was interesting. The coffee was good. But they charge you a deposit for a cup that is in glass only option and if you return the glass you get the deposit back. Also, no WiFi and bring your own sweetener. The prices are reasonable and I would say fall through if you are in the area. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. #Pkast read more

I'm going to visit someone out of state and was trying to get local items to make a gift basket. Arrived here and I noticed that there were lots of folks with computers who were hanging out (think of the other big chain coffee place) however this place had a better vibe, in my opinion. I stare at the coffee options and since my knowledge of coffee is zero, I explained to the lady that I was buying coffee for someone not knowing if they like coffee and she made some suggestions. I decided to try what I was gifting and then told her the only catch is I like my coffee sweet. She suggested adding whole milk and their in house vanilla bean syrup. I nodded and then asked for the avocado toast which she explained to be smashed avocado, a slice of tomato that's topped with a little salt on their in house made sour dough bread. Simple enough. I stood over by the side and my drink came out in a mason jar . . . Cute. Sip, eyes widen a little, okay, this is good. Then the toast comes out and I'm like it looks simple, cut into it (cause it came with a folks and knife) and I'm taking notice that the bread is thick and toasted. I take a bite and I'm like this is good. Like it's real good. I stand at the little counter and eat my toast while looking out on the street and watch people come in and out and sip my iced coffee down to the very last drop and I'm content and full and think "okay, I see what you did there" - I will say I recommend some bacon on that toast but seriously it was good. Overall I'm excited to give the coffee and hopefully they will love it just as much (I did ask if I can buy some of that syrup but was told no - pffff!) because I'll definitely be back. Did I mention they bake bread there that you can buy!!! Yeah, I'll be back! read more

Absolutely incredible! I am in love with this coffee house. From the recycled espresso machine hardware serving as door handles, to the warm honey brown tones of the stamped tin counter and reclaimed brown and teal barnwood planks, this coffee shop oozes caffeinated cozy, comfort. I tried a summer seasonal pour over coffee and it was heaven. Light, crisp, yet flavorful- it didn't need any cream or sugar - I just enjoyed the flavor. I also tried a large cinnamon roll - it was not too sweet, very soft and delectable. They did not stint on the cinnamon! I'm sure I'll be returning to this coffee shop again and again. read more

I feel like this review is necessary for people checking Yelp as I did prior to visiting Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters. I stopped in before a round of golf at Steven's Park and asked the guy at the counter if they had any specialty lattes. He rudely replied "we don't do that". Ok, I ordered a cold brew and an iced tea to go. I was told they use jars for to-go cups and there would be a deposit. I asked if I had to bring it back and he said "No, it's yours to keep." I paid $13 for these two drinks. I literally watched this man open a 12oz sealed glass "beer bottle" of cold brew that I could have gotten for a few bucks at the gas station and pour in into a washed out sauce jar without even a cube of ice. The jar didn't even seal properly. For $13 I had pre-bottled cold brew that tasted like dirt slosh around and leak in my car until I could find a trash can to throw it in. My boyfriend's iced tea was fine and served in a mason jar that at least sealed tightly. The entire experience was absurd and I wish I had known so I could have avoided this place. If you like polite service, sealed cups, good coffee, ice, or straws then definitely avoid this place. read more

Very relaxing spot for studying or grabbing a coffee with friends. Very simple coffee menu (how it should be) and a seasonal baked goods menu. Great customer service and friendly staff. I recommend trying this spot if you're in a need for a warm cup! read more

I go there when I am in the area. The beans are freshly roasted and worth the trip. If you don't own a grinder they will do it for you but fresh ground is so much better! Great options ! read more

The quality does not excuse the snobbery. If you are going to severely limit and control the experience of the coffee you serve (no milk alternatives, no to-go cups, no WiFi, etc.), it had better be incredible. No. Actually, it had better be mind-blowing. Spoiler alert, it wasn't. I ordered a good-not-great cappuccino with slightly bubbly foam and severely under-seasoned avocado toast. Having visited and worked in some of the better coffee shops in the country, Oak Cliff wouldn't make it to the top of my list, not even close...which makes the controlling and overly idealistic nature of this shop really puzzling and pretty frustrating. Exclusivity is not inherently a bad thing as it can result in creating something great. But this shops' decision-making is disillusioned, which consequently hurts people, makes people feel less than they should, and produces an elitism that is not making this world a better place. Not to mention the fact that it excludes the local low-income community this shop is located in. Do better. Please. And maybe consider that not everybody can drink whole milk? read more

This was such an odd experience all around. I live about 5 minutes from this place and happened to be on this side of the neighborhood and decided to stop in and support somewhere local before I had to drive up into North Dallas for a meeting. I walk up to the counter and start staring up at the menu and can't find any coffee menu, just food. No big deal, I order my go-to, an iced vanilla latte with oat milk. I'm told they ONLY serve whole milk. Which is... odd for a modern local coffee shop but whatever. The drink finally comes up at the bar in a glass mason jar. I apologize to the barista and ask if I could get it in a to-go cup. Her response is "this is our to go cup, you just have to pay a $2 deposit, if you bring it back you'll get the $2 back." Ok.. another oddity. I have to make another transaction on my credit card for the $2 deposit on the jar. I'm all for sustainability, but at a minimum make it clear before ordering that that's the process. Ask if I want it for here or to go and explain the deposit system if I ask for it to go instead of making it overly complicated. As for not having milk alternatives... same situation. At least have it on the menu or posted somewhere. read more

Love the vibe of this place. The wood and metal accents create an awesome feels that encourages one to work or study. I opted for the drip coffee and it was spot on. My only caveat is that they don't offer WiFi. I came to get some work done, have a coffee and grab a bite to eat. I only got coffee because, without WiFi I cannot work. And if I cannot work, it makes no sense for me to buy anything to eat. If they ever offer WiFi this would be a good place to come study or work and gain an extra two stars. Now a days work and study is where the WiFi is. read more

One of the best coffee shops I've been to in Dallas. The coffee is painstakingly made, the baristas are friendly and approachable, and the coffee is very balanced. The cappucino is one of my favorites, as it has a lovely creamy year soft texture, while still having the delightful aroma and punch of coffee. We were also tempted by the goat cheese and fig scone, particularly since the barista took them from a steaming hot baking sheet. Perfectly crumbly with a lovely rich flavor of cheese combined with the delightful sweetness of the fig. A yummy combination that worked well with the coffee. I'd stop by anytime. read more

One of my favorite coffee shops in town, and my favorite roaster! I used to work for coffee roasters, and I buy my whole beans here to brew at home. They also have excellent baked goods, house made chocolate, and small bites for breakfast. Their salted chocolate ship cookies are INCREDIBLE! I love this place because it's an authentic, scrappy, creative, locally owned spot reminiscent of how coffeeshops used to be in the early 1990's before Corporate Coffee took over the world. The shop opens at 6am and the mornings are always buzzing with locals having their morning ritual cup, meeting with friends, or reading. There is free parking on the street in front and in the lot behind the building. There are three minor quirks of this place to be aware of: 1) They don't have wifi, so you have to tether with your phone or hotspot. It's probably better that way. 2) They close at 4pm. I usually crave a cup of drip coffee and a change of workspace around 3-3:30pm, so by the time I get there, they are about to close and are often out of fresh drip coffee for the day. 3) They don't have disposable to-go cups, and instead serve to-go drinks in a glass jar with a lid and a burlap sleeve for insulation. They require a $2 deposit for the jar, which is refunded if you bring it back. Their commitment to reducing garbage is commendable, but I don't stop here for a to-go coffee for this reason, unless I have my own mug with me. Despite my insignificant complaints, I love this place and highly recommend it! read more

A true roaster and coffee shop. Had a straight pour over from Guatemala. Excellent, bright full bodied no green or lingering taste. Nice to see OakCliff ( the true OC) coming back. And, even nicer to see a roaster and cafe' do well here in the Cliff. Oak Cliff Roasters has Magic smells. They have a bakery that makes sourdoughs breads and other treats, coupled with it's coffee, is worth twice the price, just to sit here and enjoy the nose of bread and coffee. This is truly paradise in Oak Cliff! Stop by enjoy a coffee it will be your the new standard of which to judge coffee! read more

Coffee fans enjoy a simple, well crafted getup and go exilir. We love that fine roasted aroma and that coveted, rich and well capped coffee creme indeed. You know, the slightly foamy essence of freshly brewed coffee coalesced on top of a good cup of Joe. Oh yeah. I am no coffee expert aficionado in any way, shape, or foam....pun intended. Basically, I know what I like, it's that simple. Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters source their high quality, fair trade green coffee beans. And roast them to their own uniquely branded style. The aromas this afternoon are intoxicating. I really dig the smell of coffee being roasted and brewed. Today I opted for the spicy, but slightly sweet Chai, which to me is a classic Fall drink. This little adorable coffee shop with charming lights down it's side alley, always makes me smile, until recently, now it's with bittersweet memories. The owner purchased a retired 1950's Dallas public bus and parked it off their patio. It was my friends Sam's favorite spot to chit chat. He and I would sit inside that converted bus, him telling me funny, goofy stories of growing up as well as what was happening in his day to day life. We were close. But our friendship was complex. I tried my best to be positive, offer support, be encouraging, and just be there to listen. Sam had intense anxiety and depression. He constantly and consistently fought his demons, shaping a beautiful life chalked full of happy times, friends, and memories. Sadly, he lost his personal battle and passed away this June 2018. Suicide hurts. There are no goodbyes. There are no hugs or kisses. No time to say how much that person means to you or how much you will miss them. He is gone. The bus is still here, but it is littered with memories of days past. Some bitter. Some sweet. Memories. From the bottom of my heart. I will always LOVE you Sammie. ALWAYS!! For me, it's the small things of life that we can and get to appreciate. Life is like that, we get to pick and choose the things to be happy about or not. Personally, I would rather be humbly content than blissfully disappointed. It's tough sometimes though. Events and circumstances in our day to day existence can bog us down, tether our joy, and even crack us into a million fragmented pieces. Speaking of tough. Here's a tough taboo topic, Suicide Prevention. It's this week, September 9 to September 15th. Talk to your people Yelpers. While we cannot and shouldn't try to "fix" anyone, it's not our place, just show up being a caring, open, loving person is what anyone really wants and needs. Being down, blue, overwhelmed, and sad beyond belief can occur to anyone at any time. Life happens. So, please take a minute to call or text a friend or loved one. If you, yourself need a private conversation about what you are feeling. Contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1800-273-8255. Reach out. Your life matters. The pain and hurt will pass.

Im in Dallas all week, and I'm driving from downtown every am to go here. It is somewhat out of my way, but well worth it. The scent of fresh out-of-the oven orange almond scones welcomed me at the door today. Those things are out of-this-world yummy. The quality of coffee drinks is outstanding. Staff are friendly and efficient. No touch credit card pay is a big plus. Edit: Thursday now and I think I may need to go into rehab to get over this addiction to the scones. read more

Went here with a friend, the guy at the register seemed knowledgeable and was polite. I got my usual iced mocha and it was one of the best I've ever had. It had a hipster vibe and 1:30 PM, I'd definitely go back. Most of the drinks were a good price for a coffee shop. read more

The only milk/creamer they had was whole milk. No plant based options. Guy at counter unapologetic and rude. So, I purchased a 12oz bag of SO for $21. Terrible. Poorly roasted. Tasted like McDonalds coffee. read more

Great coffee, great people, great space. I really liked the vibe and setting. There's a cool converted bus in the back to sit too. Coffee is real good that I bought coffee beans to take home with me. The only downside is no WiFi. Typically I come to coffee shops to get some work done. I wished I knew there was not WiFi so I could visit another time. Instead, I left pretty quick after I downed my coffee. read more

shit was nasty asf.!!!! Yogurt was salty! Lil granola was burnt and tart!!! Nowhere to sit, just yuck!

Coffee is fine. But customer service and their website is bad. Ordered with a subscription first, then created an account under that same email later. After logging in, the account claims to not have any preexisting subs. So I can't cancel, can only add MORE subs. Customer service sent me a password reset link without reading into my issue. Great. read more

Great customer service and speedy service. Ordered a Mocha Iced Latte and a Blue Berry Scone. Very delicious! My coffee didn't come with a top or a straw which was new to me. That was the only thing I didn't like. It's not a big deal, I would definitely still return. read more

Best, most consistent coffee in Dallas. In house roasting, in house bakery and chocolatier and they are eco friendly. No plastic to go. Very European. Best scones I've ever had. Strawberry pistachio, peach cobbler, blueberry. They have a nice take and bake section and daily breads. Super cool place. read more

As for the coffee this is a first rate place...amazing!! Odd they didn't have half-n-half, only milk. The staff was a little snooty. The scone was soft, but we weren't given the option of having it warmed. The avocado toast was yummy on homemade sourdough toast. The place is inviting. Some booths and hi top tables, power outlets, a place for the kids to play, outside area, and you can watch the bakers in the kitchen. read more

For many small coffee houses in DFW Oak Cliff is the go to source for their perfectly roasted beans. One sip and your tastebuds tell why. Perfect every time. But a stop into Their namesake coffee house will leave you a bit disappointed. Service is tepid. Dark lighting. My quick stop for work lunch (Latte $5 + Housemade Muesli $3) turned into just lunch as there is NO Wifi. Muesli was good. Latte usual Oak Cliff Coffee Roaster awesomeness. If you need a caffeine fix this is always a good choice. For work/client/ friend meet maybe not so much. read more

Really cute space. I don't even drink coffee, but I enjoyed the vibe and the leisure cup of coffee.

No to-go cups, no milk alternatives. Even the best coffee shops in the country have at least one milk alternative. I could only stick around Dallas for a short time so I had to get mine to go. I was told they didn't use to go cups but used these aesthetisized glass jars which would cost me an extra dollar. I wanted to laugh hysterically but figured the coffee must be good. Not the case. Coffee was ok. No complexity to the taste whatsoever. Not even close to the quality you can get in Austin/ San Antonio or even Houston. This is totally disrespectful to the neighborhood this place is in. 2 stars only because the pastries were very good. read more

Love their coffee beans/retail area. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of parking and seating. The staff and the drinks are great, I've just never been able to find a place to sit when I go. Definitely recommend if you're wanting a coffee to-go though! read more

Coffee (latte) was good (not amazing; just good), but used whole milk, not skim as I'd asked for (twice). Spicy Peach jam was really good. Barista looked at me like I was a dunce (with a big no) when I asked for any kind of a bowl or glass for water for a dog outside on an 86 degrees day (while I drink my coffee as they don't have to go cups). "To go" cups were $2 for a cup (glass). Admire the environment focus (or was it for cost savings- they wrap cardboard around the glass and use paper napkins) but that's still a big markup on glass, when I only wanted the coffee inside it. Felt looked down on by the cashier when I asked what their sizes are (was told in a snobby voice looking down his nose, "the size will be appropriate for the type of drink you order"). Next time will go to the coffee shop I had passed with a dog water bowl outside and to go cups where they will TELL me if they don't serve nonfat milk and won't just give me whole milk anyway, which I couldn't drink. I won't be back and don't recommend them. read more

Fucking amazing coffee, and super environmentally friendly! I love the concept they have for not using plastic and instead using mason jars, so smart and such friendly service! Thanks for all you guys do read more
