Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters
819 W Davis St, Dallas, TX
Crema's Take
“This calm, no-nonsense espresso bar in Oak Cliff has carved out a devoted following with their commitment to quality coffee and genuinely exceptional pastries and bread that taste homemade. They're the neighborhood's early-opening spot for post-run coffee and reading, and they've built something special with their local newspaper and whole-milk-only philosophy—a refreshing stance in an age of endless alternatives. The vibe is quietly confident, the service warm, and the food so good that pastries and cold brew alike inspire genuine enthusiasm from regulars.”

Amazing atmosphere, service, food, and coffee! A delightful experience!
I usually really like this place. One of the only places I know to get raw milk. Also they are the only coffee shop in oak cliff that is open early. I went there after my run to read, relax, and eat breakfast this morning after my run, and I stood at the register for 10 minutes with no one else in line. I really just wanted to give my order and sit down. After 2 of the workers looked at me and ignored me multiple times, I walked out. Slightly aggravated because I was I really hungry from my run, but I’ll just go home, rush to cook, not read, and get to work.
Calm and quiet atmospheric cafe with no nonsense coffee menu, and really delicious food choices. Additionally a cute/local newspaper they put out for the community! I’d love to make an article for that sometime soon.
Th cold brew coffee is very tasty with sugar, according to my sister. For me the clear winner is their pastries. Their bread is so good. Spongy and delicious. The jam feels very homemade. It all feels organic. Very rustic place. Don’t expect a fancy Starbucks working space, but this place feels very authentic.
Overall okay. Great pastry selection. We were there on a Saturday morning and it was not busy. Just a note, if you require milk alternatives, they do not offer those here. Just whole milk. I'm lactose intolerant and cannot have that. I was able to get a pour over and an avocado toast though. They also do not offer to-go containers that are paper or plastic. So keep that in mind. The milk selection was a let down for me as someone that requires an alternative for health reasons.
