The vibes inside this coffee shop were really nice; however, there was no seating available when we went. We ended up ordering a cortado and matcha latte. The matcha was fairly watery and pretty pricey given that it did not taste the best. Additionally, the cortado was really bitter and also more expensive than other local options. The combination of all of these factors left me disappointed and I do not plan on returning.

Someone said this cafe was a work from home heaven, and I'd 100% agree. This cafe has lo-fi music and nothing wordy or loud. Easy place to concentrate. Does feel like an upscale corporate office. Very nice vibes tho. The gold rush latte is amazing! Highly recommend this place if you need to concentrate or want to catch up with friends. I'd like longer hours tho.

a wfh paradise, except i dont mean it as a compliment. the shop is cute, but in a sort of vast, stale way that makes it more of an office than gathering space -- the shop was dead silent the last time i came in. I know the design district is expensive, but the prices push it even for the neighborhood. to add to that, the wifi rarely works, defeating its one strength as a good place to work. the staff was very kind though, and of course the coffee is high-quality. if you're looking for somewhere with a little bit more soul, i would just go down the street to triumph's.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon Wayward Coffee Co upon searching for a coffee shop to get some work done! The space is very big, bright, and welcoming with lots of beautiful greenery, making the study/work experience much more enjoyable. There's plenty of seating, including large tables that can fit up to 8 people, small 2 seaters, and couches. There's also a private community room, but I'm not sure if it requires a reservation or fee. Drinks were priced on the higher end. I ordered an iced chai, which was pretty standard. The service was also fairly average. There is a private parking lot available in the front and extra available behind the building. Overall, I'm really glad I made the trip from Fort Worth to here! I highly recommend this spot, especially if you're needing to hanker down and are looking for a productive place to study/work.

Perfect Cappuccino every time.

Coffee is always on point and they are super consistent. Comfortable place to sit and relax. So far, my favorite coffee shop in Dallas by far.

DRINKS Matcha - has a unique flavor. It's not like super representative of matcha but it has a special tea aroma to it which tastes good! VIBES This is a great place to work. They have plenty of seating from benches near outlets to high share seating to sofas to private rooms. I love the vibe of this place with all the real plants, some of them being super huge just really cool. Great connection, plenty of outlets, and lots of people were working, studying or just talking with each other. SERVICE so great! They're very personable and friendly!

A good hang in the Design District. Plenty of high tables near the entrance and towards the back. There are additional tables/rooms to book as well. Baristas were friendly. They had your usual coffee/locally supported beer draft options. There were some baked goods for nibbles. Seasonal menu lead me to a choice of pistachio latte float. The foam is pre-made. I got my latte with oat milk. It came cold. Only a star off for off flavor. The foam tasted sour. Barista was cool with remaking it hot. Second try/time was the charm! They had WiFi. Same parking for Subway and barre 3. Parking available in the lot. Cheers!

Some really good coffee found in Dallas! This shop has a lively yet calm environment on the weekends. Seems like a place of community. The day I came there was a catering popup by Molino Oloyo who were serving tacos (from breakfast to wagyu confit and more). You may be in for a treat depending on when you stop bu during the week. I ordered a classic honey/vanilla iced latte with oatmilk. The quality of the coffee was REALLY bomb!

I read through other reviews that the people aren't the friendliest and I'd have to agree with that! It was a little tough to have someone crack a smile behind the counter... and I feel like that's just something you need when you're spending $7 on a coffee. I got the hibiscus tea and my husband got the drip coffee. Both were great! It was a little odd that the coffee shop didn't have holiday flavors .. but maybe they are trying to be different? I loveeeeed the plants in the place also- that's always a plus for me! Lots of seating- the place is pretty huge!

I came here for my birthday a few weeks ago after a friend recommended them. I really loved the atmosphere here, it was calm and inviting! The choice to have plants all throughout is such a good one, I really liked the decor. After asking tons of questions, the baristas never seemed put off by it and they answered all of them kindly. I really appreciated how great they were. My Oat Milk Latte was awesome! I really love when I can taste the work that goes into a good espresso shot, it had such a rich and creaminess to it. Will be back!

Heath and Soul Latte

Love it. The place is so cool. The barista was so nice and recommended the Hearth and Soul seasonal drink was sooo delicious! Great place. Recommend for sure!

10/10 all the way around. First off, the aesthetic here is everything. I love love love the decor and the vibes in side. The service was okay, not bad; but not great just mediocre. I can't remember the name of my drink but it was a latte with vanilla and honey and cinnamon which was very delicious. I will def be back to try other things on the menu. Super spacious and tons of tables and chairs to chill at.

One and one

Dropped by here (OK, in fairness, made a trek) furthering my quest to find top tier espresso in the Dallas area. Spurred on by their menu stating "rotating single origin options", I had high hopes. Upon arrival, I found that they do offer single origin espresso, but typically just one espresso option (other than their default used primarily for milk drinks. Today's offering was an Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Chelbesa by Parlor, with notes of honey, bergamont, and raspberry. Since espresso was what I was here for, but knowing that I also love a great cortado, I opted for the "one and one", a great option to get both. It's a split shot, half neat, and half with milk like a mini cortado or macchiato (in the Italian sense, not the Starbucks sense). This turned out to be a great choice. It's really two tiny drinks, coupled with a tiny sparkling water palate cleanser, but if you're after flavor and not a thirst quencher, it's just the thing. The espresso was bright and fruity with no hint of bitterness. The cortado was creamy but not overly "milky". Both very nice. As for the decor and overall appearance of the place, well, it's nice, but it's a little utilitarian in terms of seating and tables, and the lighting could use some upgrades. In fairness, it does have two large skylights to let in natural light, so that's good. But the tables are accommodating for laptops and other tools of coffee shopping, and there were plenty of folks (myself included) doing just that. Really, though, I was here for the "for here" coffee, and it did not disappoint. The bagged coffee selection was a little sparse, and many of the bags didn't have roast dates, so I passed for this visit.

Great place to work and get coffee. My croissant tasted like paper though. For a 6 dollar pastry that was so silly...

They consistently make good drinks. Have a good vibe inside and have a conference room you can rent out.

The service continues to get worse, capped off by the last visit where I waited over an hour for Pollo Caracas, with virtually no one in the restaurant. I kept getting angrier by the minute. I kept being told 5 more minutes, on 5 different occasions. Finally, the owner ( came to the front, half-heartedly apologised, and cooked my food) The food has never been great, only convenient. I will never mess with this place again.

However, disappointing that at the end when paying by card, they did not allow us to see an itemized receipt, and the bill was higher than expected. After reading more reviews about this place, seems like this is common occurence unfortunately. Also, they INCLUDED TIP, which was not super apparent, and our party was less than 6 so unsure why a tip was included initially. Otherwise, the food was good and filling. The strawberry smoothie was not the best though, so would not get that again. the sweet plantains were great though. Although the food was good, I would not return because of the deceiving way that add a tip and do not allow customers to see itemized receipts.
