Opening Bell Coffee

What a hidden jewel! We were planning on eating at another place nearby but running late for the music show so I looked up this place on Yelp to see the food options, which had good reviews but more about the coffee and breakfast. I called in and spoke with a nice gentleman who went over the dinner options. FYI, you have to get the correct phone number from their website since the one on Yelp is old. We split and shared a chicken salad sandwich and a turkey sandwich. They have several sandwiches and bread options. We decided on wheat toast for both and they were super delicious! You can easily say they take pride in their sandwiches with homemade ingredients including making their own pickles. They were well stacked and filling. Julie, the owner, helped us nicely match with some Belgium beer and white wine. She was super friendly, informative, and a big reason why we enjoyed our visit. We finished off with some lava cake a la mode, and again delicious! Somehow I didn't get to eat my half though . The band we saw was awesome and the sound and audience created a perfect atmosphere. It was an acoustic set by Kelly's Lot from California and the guitarist, Perry, is from Texas and they could play the blues really well. There was also a younger gentleman who joined in playing a cajon on a few of the songs which was a nice surprise. And even the audience jumped in a few times singing along and clapping to the music. It was such an enjoyable ensemble.I highly recommend checking out the music and dinner. It's a great experience!

Santa has come and gone. He's back snuggling with Mrs C. Spent the day running errands and buying more stuff for someone who may not be named. And close to my bedtime, my babe mentions a shindig in downtown Big D. So why not. No work tomorrow. Very trendy spot on Bothan Jean. Black Eye is a great blend with a nice caffeine kick. If you are in the dessert mind, go Key Lime. They need some parking but other than that, fun evening spot.

My Friday 12/20/24 I had the breakfast sandwich, recommended by the staff. It was good, and i wanted a slice of the merry berry pie that i shared with my work bestie. The crust was tasty and flaky in my opinion. Delicious. I came here to have a little caffeine and Christmas spirit. The ambiance, they have an artsy Christmas tree decorated with ornaments designed by OBC patrons. I took pictures and videos, I thought this was very cheerful.

So cute inside! The coffee is super delicious and the workers are friendly. They offer local beers too, which is fun 10/10

It shouldn't take over 30 minutes to get coffee when there's only two customers in the whole place. When I finally got my coffees it was wrong and I'm not gonna lie, I've had a better latte from McDonald's..

Good coffee, service and ambience!This place is a nice to hang out, study or work.They have pretty big space and cool decorations

Checked this coffee shop today and really liked the vibes. It's spacious inside and also has a stage for live music. It looks like they regularly have local music acts swing by, so I would be interested to come back for a show because the coffee shop + music vibes = my favorite. :)I got the Texas Maple Pecan drip coffee and it was pretty tasty - not overly sweet with the maple and not too overpowering with the pecan flavor. There's a couple of other drip coffee options in addition to your standard coffee shop options (lattes, cappuccinos, chai lattes, etc.). Overall I enjoyed my visit to Opening Bell.

I really enjoyed this hidden (hidden!) gem of a coffee shop in downtown Dallas. Parking was a bit hard to find - I ended up in a metered space on the street. This place is in the basement of a residential building. I walked through an underground passage to find the shop tucked away in a corner behind a gym, art space and next to a bodega. Even though the coffee house is underground, it was brightened by some street-level windows. The space was cozy and cluttered. I had a cafe au lait and a cinnamon roll and enjoyed the artsy vibe.

I work in the building where this coffee shop is and I and my coworkers go at least once a week! We are like family with the staff. They're very nice, and always make our drinks and food with love and care!! Please make sure if you ever stop in, try the Carmel & Mocha Cooler! It's the best

I found street parking and wondered around the building complex and enjoyed the different things like stock certs, different posters and random art throughout the place. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, quiet on a sunday. Its a very okay cup of coffee, with their balanced sweetness with the 1833 syrup. The coffee felt more watery then I would like. Came out to be around the $7 mark for an iced oatmilk latte with vanilla. Unsure if i would ever go back, they do serve an espresso milkshake type deal that did get my attention.
