Wayward Coffee

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!

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!

Always love coming here, it's close to work and usually wait time is doable. Atmosphere is refreshing but warning seating does get packed at peak times. But it's my fav spot right now!

Love the ambiance here, when I walked in I saw lots of large plants and natural lighting. A great place to work because it isn't ridiculously loud. I love that even though I ordered to go they still did latte art. Staff was super welcoming.

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!

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.

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.

My husband and I popped in here for an afternoon pick me up. This was our first time visiting. The coffee shop was super busy, almost every seat was taken. We both ordered a vanilla latte and enjoyed our drinks. I absolutely loved all of the plants that were inside! Literally, plant heaven. I liked that there's a conference room in the pack of you were wanting to work with a team/group. My only gripe is that I think charging $1.50 for flavoring is a bit steep, personally. We bought a bag of coffee beans and it was probably the most expensive bag of beans we have ever bought ($19!). They were very good though, as we tried them the next day.

Stopped by Wayward late Saturday morning, and it was decently busy inside. I ordered an iced lavender latte. It had a less strong espresso flavor than other lavender lattes I've had, and a nicely prevalent lavender flavor. Overall, I think it was pretty good. My latte came out to about $6, which I believe is pretty standard for coffee these days - especially from aesthetic cafes. There's neighborhood street parking nearby as well as some parking spots on the side of the building.

I love the smaller Wayward in Oak Cliff so much and was excited to try this new location over in the design district. The biggest difference is that this place is huge! There is endless seating from couches to tables to bar stools. The place was filled on the weekend, but the noise level was not so hard to deal with. The aesthetic is a lot glossier than the the older one, but it makes sense for the neighborhood.Just like the original location the coffee is excellent and I enjoy the specialty drinks like the A24 menu and some of the specially cold brew cocktails. I do wish they had a few more vegan pastry options, but I don't hold it against them. The baristas are always friendly and pick out great music.While I prefer the cozier Oak Cliff shop, I would not hesitate to come to this location especially because it is open later.
