The Berni Bean Coffee
717 N Harwood St, Dallas, TX
Crema's Take
“This downtown Dallas spot is known for made-to-order drinks and food that tastes genuinely crafted rather than mass-produced, with creative signature beverages like their vanilla rose oat latte that showcase quality ingredients and thoughtful flavor combinations. The peaceful, welcoming atmosphere makes it a genuine neighborhood find, though be prepared for slower service and steeper prices as the trade-off for drinks and pastries made with real care.”

Another awesome find. They closed the old location at N Saint Paul St (still shows up at google maps but there is a sign at the old place saying the correct location). The new location is on the 1st floor of a corporate building and it’s more spacious, modern, and sleek. This new spot is perfect because it’s at the center of the City Center District and slightly north of downtown. So walking distance from the core of the area. The specialty coffees are very delicious and the baristas are very friendly in suggesting to customize them. They also serve traditional coffee drinks and have an a variety of different coffee beans. Plus, they also have baked food and pastries. Awesome coffee place to sit down, relax, and sip some great quality coffee.
Top coffee shops to visit in Dallas! You can taste the quality in their drinks/food. They actually cook their food unlike chain coffee shops. Everything is made to order so you know it’s gonna be fresh. Everyone here has been super friendly if you have any questions they are always down to help! Will definitely be coming back!
In my opinion, this place is overpriced, staff often comes off cold and unwelcoming, and it takes soooo long to get your order compared to other coffee shops. I’d recommend making sure you watch what they charge. Today, again ( after not coming here for 2 + months because of the last bad experience) I had charges that didn’t make sense. I simply asked if I could add the +$1.00 bacon two times. After looking at receipt, they charged me $1.00 and then an additional $2.00?….The server Nancy said “that’s just how it is”…. I was shocked! It’s not about the money, it’s about principle. I live across the street and gave up on this place months ago. Finally decided to try it ONE more time. Never again. I’ll just continue walking 2 blocks to Starbucks where people are always friendly. The staff literally were talking about me in the kitchen while I waited for my food which left me feeling irritated this morning. Paid almost 20$ for a breakfast sandwich and coffee which means service should be great. Box and Brewed across the street is a great example of great customer service. Starbucks on Akard has great customer service… I have never in my life been to a coffee shop where staff make you feel like you’re inconveniencing them.. Again, just look at the food. Is that worth 19.48$
Cute little coffee shop in downtown Dallas that has good tasting coffee. I ordered the vanilla rose oat latte and it was good. Light medium roast with toasty notes but not a whole lot of crema. I would suggest ordering a flat white if you come here and like a nice strong espresso with milk.
First time visiting this coffee shop and I gotta say the ambience is peaceful and welcoming. The bagels and sandwiches are delicious but the croissant that i had left much to be desired. I had a rose infused latte while my date had a blueberry infused one it took a bit to get used to the flavors but not surprising by since they were unique in their own way. I will say that the italiano indulgent had a smooth and nutty taste that was complimented by the sweetness of the amaretto and hazelnut. Overall a nice place to go to on a rainy day or to socialize just as long as you don’t mind paying for parking on the streets of Dallas.
