Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

Great coffee? Check. Good location? Check. Fun urban vibe? Check. If you're in the downtown Dallas area, go check out Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters. You won't be disappointed.

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?

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!

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.

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