Your Home Away From Home: Crooked Tree Coffee

Dallas Coffee Shops

On Routh Street in Uptown Dallas, there’s a little gray house. If not for the sign in the front yard, it could be a small family home. Inside it feels just as homey, with warm yellow walls and an eclectic assortment of furniture. If you’ve ever wanted a coffee shop in your living room, Crooked Tree Coffee can give you the next best thing: a living room in a coffee shop.

Menu

Crooked Tree has some of the best coffee in town. Much of their coffee is locally roasted fair trade coffee from Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters, so you know it’s fresh. The baristas are knowledgeable and take the time to get your coffee right. Their food menu includes sandwiches and chips, as well as vegan pastries from Little Eden Bakery. The pastries may be vegan, but you would never know by the taste of them. The cookies are also quite good. Like Pearl Cup, it’s a place to sit and enjoy your coffee, not just a place to get a caffeine infusion.

Atmosphere

Walking into Crooked Tree is like walking into a good friend’s house. There are three small rooms filled with mismatched furniture. The walls are brightly painted, featuring designs from local artists. It feels like the kind of place you’d find on back street in a hippie college town, but it’s right in the middle of Uptown Dallas. As far as atmosphere goes, it is one of the best places in the Metroplex. The only downside is the patio, or lack thereof. Crooked Tree is on a very small lot with little room for a proper patio. They put a couple of tables out back, but it’s not the most comfortable place to work or relax. Still, the inside alone makes it all worthwhile.

Amenities

Crooked Tree is a popular coffee shop in which to plant yourself with a laptop and a stack of work, but it’s also a nice place to relax with friends and listen to some quiet indie music. Occasionally, Crooked Tree has live music, too. If you’re looking for a nice, relaxing night, it’s the place to be, assuming you can find a seat. And once the show’s over, you can always walk over to one of the dozens of bars in the area. Of course, like most of the places in Uptown, parking can be difficult. Your best bet is to find a parallel parking spot on Routh or State Street, and walk the rest of the way over.

If you’re going to Crooked Tree, plan to stick around a while. You may very well end up with a coffee cup from some post-KGB agency. You may end up having a nice chat with a young German couple. You may even get your work done and have fun doing it. But no matter what happens, you’ll certainly enjoy the experience.

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.

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!
