A Neighborhood Cafe: Oak Lawn Coffee

Blog· Food and Drinks· Reviews

Oak Lawn is a unique neighborhood in Dallas, more eclectic than Uptown and more upscale than Deep Ellum. A great neighborhood needs a great coffee shop, and Oak Lawn Coffee fits the bill. With an intimate community atmosphere and some of the best iced coffee in Dallas, Oak Lawn Coffee is one of the best places in the DFW coffee shop scene.

Menu

Outside of Oak Lawn Coffee is a banner proclaiming the best iced coffee in town. This is no false advertising. The coldbrew coffee is amazing. It is strong without being too bitter, and it tastes great even without cream and sugar. If you’re in the mood for something hot, try the café cortado, a strong Spanish-style coffee served in a stylish demitasse cup. And if you want something sweet to go with it, try one of the massive peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, freshly baked by Kessler Cookie Company.

Atmosphere

Oak Lawn Coffee is a small place, with two little rooms and spare concrete walls. There is an elaborate plywood sculpture above the counter, an eclectic mix of furniture and even a corkboard made out of wine corks. However, the best thing about Oak Lawn Coffee is the atmosphere of familiarity and friendship that seems to permeate the place. The baristas greet their customers by name and have intellectual conversations with the people at the bar. People nod to their fellow patrons. This is a truly a neighborhood coffee shop, a gathering place for those who live and work in the area.

Amenities

There are many dog-friendly coffee shops in the area, but Oak Lawn Coffee is the only one with an attached pet shop. It is connected to City Pet Supply, with a door between the two businesses. In fact, until last year, it was known as Urban Dog Coffee. So this is the perfect place to sit out on the patio with your pup. The traffic on Oak Lawn Avenue can be loud at times, but the dog-friendly patio is pleasant nonetheless.

You don’t have to live or work in Oak Lawn to enjoy Oak Lawn Coffee. With quality coffee, friendly staff and cozy atmosphere, Oak Lawn Coffee is worth the trip, no matter where you live in the Metroplex.

Oak Lawn Coffee is located at 2720 Oak Lawn Ave, Dallas, TX 75219. Follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesse One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesses adapting and making things work! I was recently introduced to @savageburritos and I'm in love.  Savage Burritos is the love child of Uncle Julios so it you like UJ, you'll love Savage.  They are a delivery only service offering burritos and bowls from select Uncle Julio kitchens in DFW. We ordered a variety of items from burritos, bowls, queso and more. Every single item was bursting with flavor. If you like spicy,  I highly recommend the Nashville Hot Chicken Burrito. 🔥 Don't forget to add on a Margarita pop - nothing beats alcohol and Mexican food delivered straight to your door!

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
