    Pumpkin Chai Latte
    Sheila K.

    Another day, another coffee joint with my sister. This time, it happened to have the same name as my favorite ice cream spot, so why not? The shop itself was a lot bigger than I expected. Plenty of seats outside, a few in the front where you order, and a whole back area that looked like a bar lounge-- I guess that's what it is?... Aesthetically? They could do better back there. The front area and outside is cute though. My favorite part was the wall area with the sign that I took a photo of my drinks at. Staff-- not the friendliest bunch really, but the girl that helped us did her job. We did have a little miscommunication mishap for my order but she took care of it. Granted, they did make me feel pretty awkward correcting the mistake but she got it done. The other two just stared at me and made me feel dumb... but, I'm glad I didn't just let it go and got what I originally wanted. I paid for it, and it's their job. Not trying to sound mean but people tend to hate doing what they're paid to do nowadays and I shouldn't feel bad having to ask for what I paid for done correctly. It was between the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew or the Pumpkin Chai Latte for me and I asked her which would be better... I wanted sweet, but not too sweet... somehow, that lead to her putting me down for a plain, not-sweet-at-all latte.......... clearly, my two options were Pumpkin though, right? Idk... Anyway, I got two drinks. I also got the Vietnamese coffee. My sister got two drinks as well, the Cinnamon Roll Latte and the Strawberry Fields. Once I did get my Pumpkin Chai, it was good. Not the best thing I've ever had but so much better than the plain, flavorless Latte. The Vietnamese coffee was okay, I've had better honestly... I didn't finish it. It wasn't strong, and it was very sweet. As for my sister's drinks, I can't speak for her on the Strawberry Fields, but I did take a sip of the Cinnamon Roll drink-- eesh, waaay too sweet! Definitely tasted like a Cinnamon Roll though... but I'd rather take that sweetness from an actual Cinnamon Roll. All in all, I wouldn't be in a hurry to go back here but if my sister suggested it again on my next visit, I wouldn't completely write them off. I'd give it another go. I'm sorry, I just can't put my rating up there until they've proven otherwise.

    Banana Milk Matcha Latte
    Parker G.

    This is a very lovely coffee spot in Fort Worth for grabbing a creative coffee drink and relaxing on its outdoor patio space. We stopped by while in the DFW area one afternoon, and it was quite bustling inside and a bit of a wait to place our order! All the baristas were working hard and getting everyone's order out, however, and I thoroughly enjoyed my Banana Milk Matcha Latte once I got it! Very creative flavors, with none being overpowering and it all subtly complementing this lovely drink. We relaxed on the patio outside of the cafe for a bit - it's in one of those up-and-coming/gentrifying areas of Fort Worth, so at the moment there's just an empty field on the other side of the street, but I bet it'll soon be filled in. All in all, a great spot to stop by if in the area! Clean, modern, and high quality drinks!

    Really good coffee and many options to choose from. Friendly service. They have a huge area inside where you can sip your coffee and do work.

    iced shaken signature toasted coconut latte
    Emily L.

    Highly recommend their coffee lattes! I got the shaken signature toasted coconut latte, and it was so incredibly flavorful. Best iced latte I've had for a minute. Line was quite long Saturday early afternoon, but service was super fast and helpful! Immediately after ordering, we were next to receive our drinks. Lots of places to sit and lounge after ordering. Definitely can't wait to be back.

    I've heard so many good things about Ampersand, so I decided to stop by for a chai and to get some work done. Unfortunately, I wasn't as impressed as I hoped to be. This place is both a coffee shop and a bar. I visited on a Friday afternoon for the coffee shop side, and it wasn't my cup of tea. I wasn't a huge fan of the chai. It tasted rather too sweet instead of being as spicy and ginger-y as I like. I did like the moody, dim lighting for the vibes of getting work done though. Most people here were doing work, so it wasn't noisy in that regard. The music was pretty loud though. I could hear it through my noise-cancelling airpods and felt the vibration in the couches. Service was pretty standard. There's a tiny lot in the back with free parking. There's also parking in the front that you have to pay for. Overall, I wish I enjoyed my first visit to Ampersand, considering many of my friends have said good things about it. Don't let my review sway you though, this may just not be my place!

    This was my first time at this coffee shop, but not my last. I loved that they had parking right in front of the store. Because in this area, sometimes parking is hard to find. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted, and I told the staff, it was my first time there, and they helped me with a drink recommendation. They recommended the black honey coffee as I don't like super sweet coffee and this was a great recommendation. It has charcoal and honey in it. But it was very tasty and just a touch of sweet. They have a full menu of cold and hot drinks. I will definitely come back and try more in the future. If you're hungry, they have a taco restaurant right next door, I saw a lot of customers going back-and-forth. I love that they have seating inside and they also have a large patio to sit at as well. Great place to hang out.

    Gingerbread latte
    Anokhy D.

    What a cool venue for a coffee shop! We stopped in for an early coffee before hitting the road for a few hours and this was just the right place for a warm wake up. I got the seasonal gingerbread, which was more warm spices and apple than standard syrup pump, and found seating in the venue in the back. The restrooms were clean and street parking was available.

    Trendy, lounge-style coffee shop with creative drinks! Ambiance: Coffee shop by day, disco lounge by night! The back area with the long bar and lounge seating is great for working--though the music's a bit loud and lighting is dim, so it may not be ideal for studying. Drink: I tried the Matchadoodle--perfectly sweet with a cinnamon kick that balanced the earthy matcha. Highly recommend! TL;DR: Stylish spot with cool vibes and standout drinks--great for casual work sessions, but not the quietest place to study. Try the Matchadoodle!

    Got the matchadoodle and it was so good. I love how rich and earthy the matcha is here and the snickerdoodle part wasn't too overwhelming. Service was also so quick and they were so nice!! The interior is dark and intimate, a great place to chill and get some work done.

    Honey Latte Coffee
    Drew C.

    I was looking for a relaxing spot to get some coffee, knock out some work on the laptop, and kill some time after checking out of my hotel during my road trip before continuing east. This was everything and more. The coffee was of course delicious, and I got some great help from the staff to advise what I was looking for (there were some cool drinks that I wanted to try but would've been too sweet for my palette) Perfect working environment to chill at and get stuff done with video call level internet and WiFi speeds which was clutch.

    I come every weekend, and the coffee taste the EXACT same every damn time!!!!!! They never miss!! My favorite coffee forever

    Ampersand is such a cool spot in Fort Worth--a coffee shop by day, a nightclub by night. When you arrive, there's parking right in front, but keep in mind it's pay-by-the-hour. When you arrive you'll order at the counter, and there's seating outside or in the back, which transforms into a club after hours. If you're into matcha, do yourself a favor and order the Strawberry Fields--matcha, simple syrup, and muddled strawberries. Seriously, it will change your life. The whole vibe here is cool, especially if you like a coffee shop with some club energy. Highly recommend checking it out!

    Is my dog allowed to sit with me while I grade papers here?

    I have seen plenty of people with their sweet dogs beside them. Both inside and outside!

    Do they have sugar free syrups?

    Hello Carlye, we do carry sugar free vanilla on our menu.

    Is it true that dogs are allowed here?

    I've seen a dog come in with their owner while they were ordering, and no one said anything. Not sure if they stayed. Probably if you're outside, it's fine!

    Is there a age limit like 18+ or 21 +? For the bar side at night I mean?

The noise level was extremely high...we literally had to yell just to have a conversation with each other. Service was also very slow. It took about 15 minutes just to be acknowledged at the bar, and close to 30 minutes to actually receive a drink. When I finally ordered, I told the bartender to make her favorite drink. She made something that included raw egg whites (which I later learned is common in certain cocktails), but it wasn't mentioned or explained at the time. A few hours later, I became very sick...vomiting and dealing with what felt like severe food poisoning all night and through the next 24 hours. After looking into it, I suspect it may have been related to the raw egg used in the drink. Just something to be aware of if you're ordering drinks like a whiskey sour or anything that may include egg whites. After getting our receipt (which you need for the speakeasy entry code), we checked out the speakeasy portion, but the vibe there wasn't great either..pretty must the same as the other part of the bar. We ended up leaving within about five minutes. Overall, the experience didn't live up to the hype for us....between the noise, long wait times, and how we were treated, it just wasn't enjoyable. For comparison, the bar next door, Archibald, felt much more welcoming. Maybe regulars have a different experience, but as first-time guests, we were not impressed.

I am a Sushi novice to say the least, but my grandson and daughter wanted to introduce me to his new favorite restaurant, he's 15 so I had to see what he was raving about! The only reason I gave 4 stars is, cuz I am not educated on all things sushi and the extensive menu didn't really break down what each category really meant, the place was packed so clearly it's a newbie issue. I mentioned to our server Cameron, who was so polite and professional by the way, that it might be fun to host a monthly Sushi 101, where people could make reservations and for a flat rate the attendees could learn the difference between sashimi, sushi and all the other preparations for the cuisine. People could taste and sample each type and learn a little bit, giving them confidence to put Hush in their local food rotation. I really enjoyed my experience, and will do some research on the different options so I can try some new foods, I have no doubt I can ask my server, but that would have made me uncomfortable making the rest of my party wait while I learn, this was a spur of the moment invite so I didn't have time to do research, totally my problem. I will be going back once I learn more! I enjoyed my food, the Tempura Shrimp roll, we also really liked the smoked salmon roll, the crab rangoon, and shrimp fried rice, all was delicious!

We were there on Saturday at 2pm, shortly after they opened, and it was a single bartender...so his service was great. Drinks were interesting. They do a number of riffs on tiki drinks: their Morse code is a take on the classic three dots and a dash, they have two zombie riffs, they have a riff on the Painkiller. If you're looking for slavish adherence to the old recipes, this ain't your place. But they're not reinventions, and that's a very tiki thing. Some are misses - the black walnut bitters in the Pain Kill ARR made no sense, but the light rum and lack of honey in the Morse Code were bright and refreshing. Over the span of 150 minutes the two of us had seven drinks and three mixed shots. All well made, all generally good, no absolute home runs. Totally worth a return trip. It'll be fun to visit during a busier time.
