The 2 coffees we tried that day were not very good.But it has its own roasting factory right next to it looks pretty cool.They also sell coffee bean and all kinds of merchandise.

This was my second visit to this coffee spot, hoping it would be a welcoming place to enjoy coffee while studying. Unfortunately, it confirmed my concerns about the first visit, and I won't be returning. The vibe here is clear--they seem to cater to specific types of customers. Having a Black employee doesn't shift this dynamic, as she appears to align with their approach.I was third in line, and the contrast in treatment was obvious. The staff member was friendly and chatty with the two customers ahead of me. When I approached, I greeted her with a smile and said, "Hello, how are you?" She barely acknowledged me, offering a curt response and a demeanor that felt dismissive, even disgusted.While taking my order, she was terse and uninterested, though she seemed aware of her behavior, attempting a forced smile as she quickly dismissed me. The moment I stepped aside, she resumed her friendly and engaging attitude with the next customer in line.

This coffee roastery is an absolute gem. Not only was the coffee delicious, but the inside is huge. It's perfect for studying, catching up with friends, or a place for afternoon coffee and board games.Highly recommend.

Wow. What a cool place. Giant windows to see the coffee roasting actually happening next door. Lots of comfy seating. WiFi available. They only had dark roast and I prefer light. They quickly brewed a new pot of light with a smile, and yum, yum, yum. Super smooth. They have breakfast tacos available til 11, and I just missed the cut off. I'm going to have to come back and try them. They also have a great selection of pastries, muffins, and sweets. Staff super friendly. So glad I know about this place. I'll be hitting it up every time I see patients for work in Carrollton.

I ordered a brown sugar bourbon latte and was not super impressed by the flavors or the coffee. I felt that it was a bit weak, and was not very memorable. The interior of the place was very spacious and there were a lot of seating options, which would be nice for someone who needed to get some work done!

If you're in need of strong, delicious coffee. This is the spot. Can actually taste the espresso in the drinks that I can appreciate when most "hip" coffee spots don't hit the spot. There is a huge workspace towards the back, where you can sip your coffee and do some work.I got the Kentucky cold brew, for under 5$ this drink was 10/10. Can opt for a splash or in my case, a heavy splash of milk of your choice. Cold brew was strong and so so good. Def will be back to this cafe!!

I've been trying to find a good coffee shop in the DFW area for a while now. For whatever reason, I couldn't find anything except cloyingly sweet drinks with a shot of espresso. Luckily, I found Parks Coffee Roastery & Cafe.I stopped in to meet someone for breakfast and saw that they had a breakfast taco called "The Jess Special" so I had to order that. It was... fine... Honestly, I was a little disappointed that something with my namesake would be so bland. I mean, what does that say about me? Am I... bland?No... It's the restaurant that is wrong. Anyway, the coffee was definitely the highlight. I ordered a pour-over of an Ethiopian and enjoyed it thoroughly. There was a hint of fruitiness that came through and it wasn't bitter at all. And they roast all of their beans in house. How neat is that?!Now if you read that last sentence and thought, "geez, what a pretentious clod. This coffeeshop sounds like it's only for high brow nerds that talk fancy about coffee" you don't need to worry about much. The staff here was pleasant and not high-falutin' at all. Now that I know there's a decent shop in the DFW area, I'll probably make more visits here. It's easily the best shop I've seen so far!

If you like supporting local businesses, and you enjoy a quiet coffee shop, this is the place for you. It's not quite as commercially cozy as a coffee chain, but it more than makes up for it with coffee geek knowledge and coffee choices. For those who are into pour-overs and freshly roasted beans (right here on the spot at the roastery), this is the place. I bought several blends to grind and roast at home. I enjoyed the 1986 roast, though it is a medium roast, which is not usually my preference. It makes a great cup with a drip machine with a cone filter (how I brewed it). They have a few food offerings as well though we didn't try them. It's worth a try if you're near George Bush and Old Denton or 35 and George Bush Tpke.

If you're a coffee connoisseur, you probably won't like their coffee. They pulled a double shot of espresso for me which was sour. I was expecting a smooth blend given Perks is a legit coffee shop and roastery. Maybe the bean wasn't good or the extraction was bad...who knows... Also, in my opinion, espresso should be served with sparking water, but at Perks, you will have to buy one. I also ordered a matcha drink which came out really granny and bitter.I did purchase a few bags of beans to see how they come out when I brew my own espresso. I will come and update this review later.This place is awesome for a tour and to see how they roast coffee. You do need to book the tour few weeks ahead.The shop also has a pleasant atmosphere. Their pastries and muffins are okay. They taste good if you get some latte with them.
