Wow! What a nice little find in the heart of the Bishop Arts District in Dallas. Have not had empanadas like this since our trip to South America a decade ago. The mix of breading and filling were perfect. Wanted to order a bunch more but wanted to save room for Tacos down the block. Definitely will come back. read more

Took the new Dallas Streetcar to Bishop Arts District and stopped into this place for an iced Americano and ended up trying their chicken and cheese & beef and potato Empanadas which blew my mind. This place has the best EMPANADAS on the planet EARTH!!!! Sooooooooo good.... read more

Espumoso Caffe - Best Empanada on the planet - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Iced coffee amazing. Empanadas amazing. Having great coffee and food for breakfast PRICELESS!

I must say this place is great!!! The empanadas were legit and the cafe con leche was amazing. I thought twice about paying more for a cafe con leche than a cappuccino but I went for it and understand why now. Y'all must try this place! read more

Freaking spectacular coffee. I had the Cafe con Leche with an extra shot of espresso. It has cinnamon whipped up in the foam. Awesome stuff. Staff is super nice. read more

I ordered a beef and potato empanada and a mocha with hemp milk- both were delicious. All that along with super friendly staff and comfortable seating make this a great place to relax and enjoy a good book or the company of others. I'm wishing I lived closer to this quaint little coffee shop so I could frequent it more often. read more

Espumoso Caffe - Not pictured: the beef and potato empanada my stomach is now digesting. Absolutely delicious, though. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Worst service ever! Asked for an empanada, about half an hour passed so I went to ask the girl about it (she was on her phone) she went to grab it from the oven and it was completely burnt. She threw it away didn't apologize or anything and just said she'll bring a new one to me and went back to her phone. Terrible service not a good atmosphere, very unorganized they don't have enough staff don't waste your time. read more

What a quaint coffee shop nestled in Bishop Arts. Affordable coffee that tastes great and on top of that they offer acai bowls AND empanadas! All my fave things in one spot. The environment is relaxed with a nook and comfy sofas nearby making it a great hangout spot to enjoy your eats or to people watch. read more

This place has a cute atmosphere and I hear it has been around for a long time. The coffee shop serves ice cream, baked goods, and has a wide variety of coffees, teas, and even boba! Tonight I had the hot chocolate since it was quite cold outside. It was definitely one of the best hot chocolate drinks I have ever had. I don't know what type of chocolate they put in it, but it tasted unique. The service is also quite fast and friendly. read more

LOVE. THIS. PLACE. their veggie empanadas are amazing, so flavorful and they come out hot and flaky. the atmosphere is really nice too!

As a rule of thumb, any place that offers honey in their cafe is automatically a win. The guy who helped me was really nice to me!! Thanks for making my coffee shop visit memorable! It was a very quick visit, but you know, what's traveling to a new city without checking out a notable cafe? The ambiance was really nice looking as coffee shops ought to be, and I think it suited the neighborhood quite well. :'D read more

If this isn't the closest thing to a European cafe, then I don't know what is! Leave it to the amazing Bishop Arts District to plant a wonderfully eclectic and adorable coffee shop in the mix of the bustling and locally divine district South of downtown. You have to be looking out for the spot or else I am afraid you would overlook it. Thank goodness for Yelp, or I wouldn't have had the pleasure of enjoying a delicious Chai Tea Latte and Acai Berry Smoothie. There was only one staff member manning the bar, but everything seemed to be running smoothly and efficiently, however what really stood out to me was his enthusiasm of working there. I wouldn't be surprised if it was his shop as he took so much pride in every step of his Barista process - from the warm, heartfelt greeting to his smile the whole way through the coffee making. It's contagious. I recommend going in the morning so you can start your day off right. The place is small with only a few small tables at the front, but there are three cozy couches that look out onto the quaint streets of Bishop Arts. The walls are decorated with European coffee ads while soothing Eastern European music plays softly in the background. I like it here! read more

I love the little strip this cafe is situated on. I'm not normally into pop art, but I did like their pop art-esque paintings that adorn their walls in the cafe. I really liked the double espresso I got. I didn't really like the bored, not really happy to be there service. My friend loved his coffee smoothie of sorts drink that he got. It's not a destination cafe for me, but if along this street and in need of an espresso fix. I wouldn't think twice about stopping in here again. read more

The place has pretty good coffee. There are lots of pluses about this place, like the home-like service mixed with an urban feel. The space is still a bit bare, but I feel like this place has the most potential to grow in Bishop Arts. The artwork showing right now is pretty awesome. And just by how friendly the baristas are with the customers shows a lot on how much they care about their place. read more

Surrounding scenery inspirational, The barista Emily, had lots of energy and a very welcoming smile & vibe about herself. Ordered what she recommended which was a cafe con leche, a blueberry muffin & hot chocolate (I know your thinking why order hot coco @ this exquisite coffee shop) it was for my brother which he gives a 3 (1-5). As for the coffee I'd say it was different as I'm not an espresso drinker. I'd definitely go again & order a simple cup of coffee read a book while sitting @ the awesome window seat with the vintage (coffee bean bags ) as pillow cases. read more

Espumoso Caffe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The moment our party started discussing the need for caffeine, lo and behold, Espumoso Caffe was there. It is as though we made them appear out of nowhere so in we went, especially since there was a "Best of Dallas" or something similar in the front. As it was a cold day, I ordered one of their frappes while my friends ordered latte. The drinks were alright. My frappe was overly sweet while the lattes did not impress my friends. Maybe they were just having an off day because we could not believe that the drinks we had was considered among the best in Dallas. The service was alright. The space was alright. The neighborhood is cool. While I was not overly impressed, I can see myself giving them another try next time I am in the area. read more

This is for the espresso only: the place is chill and nice, the cashier was very friendly. Unfortunately, the barista has no idea how to pull a proper shot or correctly steam the milk. She let the shot go way past the point of appropriate extraction--getting into bitter territory, the milk was totally scalded with no microfoam. She didn't know how to pour, the list goes on. The whole thing was a mess and it's entirely a lack of training. Really sloppy barista skills. If you want well crafted espresso drinks, look elsewhere. read more

Bishop Arts needs a great coffee shop. I arrived at 8 on my commute to work this morning and ordered a double espresso. There was one guy at the coffee bar and the shop was absolutely sweltering. It took him at least 5 minutes to pull together the simplest coffee drink imaginable and then when I took a sip... There was no depth to the taste of the coffee. It was about as interesting as muddy water, and I could tell by the Lavazza advertising around the store that I been again robbed of a real cup by the tired, old-Italian-man sweat that Lavazza pedals to coffee drinkers across the globe. On the bright side, it looks like they have Guarana Antarctica. read more

Love this little hole in the wall-ish coffee shop! I was killing time here and decided to stop in and cool off. I tried one of their iced chai lattes with almond milk. They have crushed ice! So good! They have an option for hemp milk which I really wanted to try but unfortunately they were sold out at the time. Pretty pastries in the pastry case as well! Oh please have hemp milk next time I go because a hemp chai sounds great right about now! read more

I haven't bought anything else from here except the flan. Once or ten times, that is! Yes, it is the best flan in Dallas. Makes me think of the Cuban flan I enjoyed in my grandmother's and aunt's kitchens or at La Carreta in Miami on Calle Ocho. If you like flan, stop in for a slice. If you don't like flan because it's too much like Jell-o, then you must try theirs. It's thick, creamy goodness that will leave your tongue with a bit of an erection. If you order it to go, be warned, the caramel sauce will find a way to leak out of the styrofoam container and the plastic bag into your car. Happened to me twice. So, get them to wrap it with Saran Wrap really well first. Buen aprovecho! read more

I stopped in here for a quick cup of coffee today while browsing the local Bishop Arts shops. Best cappuccino of all time. I'm serious. Make sure and try the Romeo and Juliet pastry! Crispy golden crust + cream cheese + some sort of jam = mind blowing. read more

The Acai Bowl is just out of the world! I wouldn't mind driving from North Dallas everyday just to get a bowl of this! I don't drink coffee but my wife said it was A-Ok.... read more

I wanted to like this place. Perhaps we dropped in on an off day...I'll never know. There appeared to be one employee when we entered. She was helping a customer while a couple stood near the ice cream. Wanting ice cream as well, we assumed this is where we are to stand if you want ice cream. The couple eventually left and the single customer being helped turned into a long line. We moved to the line that had formed at the counter and proceeded to wait, and wait. I was still okay with waiting after having found a parking spot and two ice cream craving little boys, but then another couple came in from off the street and walked directly to the ice cream area and were immediately served. I told the employee i realized she was alone, but had waited at the ice cream without service and then got in line and still was not served whereas those two walked in and got helped right away. I then asked for clarification on just where I should be if I wanted ice cream. Strangely, she told me she was alone. Not a good first impression. read more

Good ass empanadas. I wanted to get more, but I already had gotten a pizza across the street read more

I L-L-LOVE this place! My boyfriend and I have been coming here for about 2-3 years now and its been consistently yummy. Their coffee,pastries, and their Acai bowl are always great and I recommend them to anyone! My favorite drink is their White Mocha! The only downside is we don't come here too often anymore due to the volume of people in such a small space. Usually, we avoid weekends and most of all Sunday mornings. So when we do go, we make it a point to come during the week if we have time. read more

Quaint lil place off Bishop Ave. Good Coffee. EXCELLENT Americano. I really liked the setup. They also have sandwiches, ice cream, pastries, and empanadas. The beef and potato one is AWESOME!!!! Holy crap. I wanted another one right after I finished it. I opted to try the chick pea one after, which was alright. Nothing to rave about. They played pop indie music for the most part. It never got crazy busy, so I had ample space to sprawl my stuff and study. A. Will come again. read more

I really enjoyed coming here. And LOVED the beef and potato empanada. I was surprised (pleasantly, I assure you) that the cafe con leche was prepared just right with cinnamon and sugar. Stayed for a bit to enjoy my coffee slowly and do some reading. Do recommend! read more

Espumoso Caffe - Cafe con leche (milk, cinnamon, brown sugar and coffee) and a Beef and Potato Empanada. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I've visited the Bishop Arts and Gaston Ave location and the empanadas are amazing at both. I've tried the ham and cheese, chicken and cheese, and pepperoni and they're all great. The coffee here is always great as well. The staff is very courteous on my visits and takes the time to answer questions when I have them. Definitely coming back. read more

I rearranged my morning and made my friend wake up early to visit this cute place in this cool neighborhood. My first visit got me hooked on the iced coffee so I really don't want to try anything else. The only thing holding me back from a 5-Star review is the lack of breakfast options and the slow service. If I lived in Dallas I would probably only be able to go on the weekend when I don't have anywhere to be. I was there around 9A on a Wednesday and there was only 1 person working..... not good. The two guys in front of me were in a hurry and even mentioned this to the barrista but nothing was going to get him to move any faster. read more

This review is based on one visit (July 2010). A friend and I were wandering around the shops in the Bishop Arts District in 103 degree weather and lamenting the lack of coffeeshops until we came across Espumoso. It was a welcome respite- the coffee is pretty good (they carry Illy! And a fair trade bean that's pretty good too), and they offer smoothies, desserts, ice cream, and pastries (sweet and savory). The space is more "communal" in that the main seating area are a bunch of sleek sofas framed around the window seat. You can also sit at the tables outside. Owner is very friendly and will tell you the story about how Espumoso came to be. read more

This is such a cool and hip cafe to come to. We had a 20 minute wait to have brunch around the corner, and as we were walking the strip we came across this place. It's small, but the seating is comfortable. There's a leather sofa, and a long window seat. I have no idea how any of their concoctions taste. We went for hot tea. They have about 8-10 different flavors. I was surprised that the only green tea they offered was a "Citron Green Tea". I ended up ordering that and it wasn't bad. I also got to taste the Pomegranate Oolong Tea, and it was really flavorful. I like places like this. It reminds me so much of Brooklyn. I would definitely come back if the opportunity presented itself again. read more

Its good I was late before closing so I sat outside with my coffee Good coffee and way to go with the sweet tunes. read more

This is a standard indy coffee house with reasonably good coffee, service and ambience. Espumoso has an excellent location in the Bishop Arts District and is the only place like it in this immediate area as far as I can tell. There is nothing ultimately negative to say about this place but for a place that pretends to boast a Latin American theme, there just wasn't that much Latin or generally different about the place. Bare in mind; I did not eat so there might be some Latin flavor on the menu but the generally look of the place nor the coffee menu gave me much of a Latin feel. There are a few quirky features of this place but I found them more vexing than charming. After getting my coffee I could not find the milk. The counter became crowded so not being able to ask I looked around. The milk was kept in the cooller with bottled beverages. This is actually a very hygienic way to store milk but there was no sign and the barista did not tell me, so I had to stand there like a damned fool looking for milk for five minutes. Also, I believe this is the only coffee house without a restroom. If there was one t must have been through some knd of hidden door. read more

I didn't know what to order except I knew I wanted a frozen coffee drink...the person behind the counter suggested a smoothie with caramel, Irish cream flavor, espresso topped with whip and more caramel drizzle. Very nice guy and very hospitable. The drink was fabulous! A BONUS are the COLOMBIAN STAPLES offered. These are items you would find in any Colombian establishment but sadly not here in Dallas. Despite my ex-husband being Colombian, I love the culture and food. They have EMPANADAS (a good alternative to a hot dog or boring hamburger) and batidas (smoothies) made from real fruits that are not typically found in the US. My favorite is the batida de maracuya (PASSION FRUIT SMOOTHIE). Yes, passion fruit is a real fruit! I will to return to try their desserts=TRES LECHES and FLAN!! Low key background music, a few tables outside, tons of doggie watching to see. It was so nice to have stumbled upon this gem of a coffee shop! It will make you feel happy too! read more

Cute little cafe in the Bishop Arts District. Real chill atmosphere with a few tables. I like the window bench and couch area. The coffee itself isn't anything great. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and it was a little too sweet for my taste. I haven't tried any of their food or desserts, so I can't give my judgment on that. It's a nice place to duck in and hang out in the middle of exploring the other cool shops in the area. read more

I love this place so much, I am not really sure why I have fallen for this place... I think one of the reasons why I love this place so much is that it is very cute inside....I want say corky but I'm not sure if that is the correct word or not. The interior is kind of what they could find but it works really well...from the mismatch chairs & tables it feels as if you at your college friends house gossiping and enjoying good cup of joe. Another reason why I love this place is the coffee...I live in this area and have tried almost all the coffee spots and this one to me is the best...I always get a vanilla latte and it's the best damn latte ever..... It reminds me of visiting my friend in Brooklyn and going to all those local coffee shops.... It makes me miss my friend a ton... The last reason is that the staff is very friendly here.... This place will always be my coffee joint... read more
