Gold rush and latte
Hoa L.

A fun little coffee spot that has nice seating, open spaces, and bright lighting. I liked the ambience a lot because it felt casual and also like a place you could work or read. It was fairly quiet when we went on a weekday. The coffee tastes really good and the baristas are nice. Cost is average for a local coffee place.

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.

Gold rush Latte

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

I absolutely fell in LOVE with this coffee shop in the city!…read more My friend and I decided that after lunch we would find a nice coffee shop to sit and enjoy the rest of our work day! We were on the hunt for a place that had a lot of seating, a good coffee menu and also sold pastries, and Otto's checked off all the boxes! I always say that when you are able to find front parking, also, you are exactly where you are meant to be, and somehow some way, we found just that! We both ended up ordering their wedding cake latte, that we later found out that changes colors based on whatever wedding they are hosting in the hotel they are located in. HOW COOL! The latte was FANTASTIC! I love when a coffee shop serves it in glass when you are deciding to sit for a bit! It felt so welcoming! I also decided to order their pound cake which was FANTASTIC! SO moist and perfect with my latte! However, the true star of the show has to be the ambiance! It's located in downtown in the Adolphus hotel and it is STUNNING inside! You truly get a city coffee shop experience at OTTO's! They had plenty of chairs and tables, as well as plugs! Which made our visit that much more great! Overall, I highly recommend it, and I will definately be back!

We came here for breakfast while staying downtown, walkable from the hotel which was a big plus. I…read morewould not recommend driving here, parking is a nightmare. Walk if you can. Coffee was decent, nothing to rave about. My cappuccino was served in a paper cup which I was not thrilled about. We were eating inside, not taking anything to go, so there was no reason for that. Paper cups influence the flavor of a hot espresso and I drink mine with no sweeteners specifically because I want to taste the actual shot. The espresso was also slightly burnt, which tells me the machine needs a good cleaning. Iced coffee is a different story but for hot cappuccinos, ceramic makes a real difference. My husband's coffee was good though and he was happy with his. Breakfast sandwiches were the toaster style, similar to what you'd expect from a place without a full kitchen. I genuinely enjoyed mine. My husband was not impressed by his. Overall it was a good enough time. We would not go out of our way to come back but if we were in the downtown area and needed a reliable spot in a pinch, we would stop in again. P.S. My ratings are based on whether I believe I could make a better or healthier version at home. If food/drinks/service impress me, I'll be happy to come back. If not, the stars reflect that.
