    Outside
    Jennifer D.

    Great Ambiance, the shop is on the smaller size however it's very cozy. They even have swings located by the registered and a nice outside patio area. Now let's talk about coffee I'd rate it 5/10. It wasn't the worst coffee but it wasn't good enough to finish. It had a very strong musky taste. We also got a chai tea latte. I didn't know chai could be spicy but with the amount of cinnamon it was.

    Honey lavender latte
    Gabby L.

    Grabbed an iced coffee after my Trader Joe's shopping trip and it's so yummy! I ordered a honey lavender latte iced, I have also gotten it warm before. Definitely one of the best honey lavender coffees I have had, it's very well balanced. I have also gotten breakfast sandwiches before and they were very good. This cafe offers a nice area for sitting either indoors or outdoors and employees are also very kind.

    Vietnamese Cold Brew
    Owen R.

    I'm a pretty adventurous eater but a pretty boring coffee drinker (I typically just drink my coffee black). But, given all the options on the menu, I decided to try something new. The Vietnamese Cold Brew was delicious, as was the Fire Roasted Chicken Melt. I just wish there was a little more chicken. The outdoor patio is great and the service was top notch (it helped that the girl taking my order said she could tell I worked out). And since this place is only a mile away from my apartment, I'll definitely be going back!

    Cold brew caramel blended
    Cat N.

    The blended cold brew with caramel was so bomb! it was refreshing and perfect for this summer heat. not too sweet either and it was good. I see this all the time shopping at trader joes across the street. Decided to stop in one day before walking the katy trail and I'm so glad I stopped in.

    I stopped by Fairgrounds Coffee & Tea a few days ago just to get a sweet coffee. Immediately upon checking in, the cashier/barista was very unfriendly and short with me when I was trying to order. Since they do not have caramel macchiatos (the best they could do was a vanilla latte), I ordered the Vietnamese Cold Brew. This drink is supposed to be semi-sweet and creamy as it is made with condensed milk. The coffee, which was $7, was completely sour and bitter. It lacked any trace of sweetness, and I ended up tossing it when it was still 2/3 full. This is one of the notably worst drinks I have ever tried, and for the steep price of $7 (with a prompt to tip on top of that), I was incredibly disappointed. The coffee was just unpleasant and, to put it frankly, gross. I added a star because the establishment itself is pretty cute and themed well. But, I will not be returning and honestly if you're in the area, I would recommend just sticking with Starbucks.

    Parking nearby

    Very cool coffee shop. There is a range of coffee and sandwiches and baked goods. Staff is friendly. Has a really cool laid-back ambience. Caution that parking around here can be such a challenge. Even with the retail parking that is right across, it can get full.

    Solid coffee and friendly service. I got a honey oat milk latte and enjoyed it. They have a large menu with many different options that I would like to come back and try.

    Matcha Miel and Banana Date Latte
    Lauren C.

    Super cozy atmosphere. Our Barista was so sweet and personable! Drinks were great and food was even better. 10/10 recommend if you are in the area and are looking for a quick meal!

    Found this place just walking about shopping. This place looks really cool inside. It's nice and bright. The coffee was really good. Nothing to write home about but still good. Service was also great. We were greeted at the door and also got our food and drinks out quick! Great place to take a break.

    Oat Milk Dirty Draft Chai
    Victoria N.

    FOOD INSTAGRAM: @northtx.gemz **** WHAT THEY'RE KNOWN FOR: spacious coffee shop. A huge staple for local Dallas people. THE VIBE: lots of space to WFH or study. Super busy spot on the weekends especially in the morning/afternoon time. Parking is questionable. PRICE: ~$15 WOULD I COME BACK? Yes! **** Overall Rating: 9/10 - One of the best dirty chais I have! It wasn't super overwhelming with the cinnamon and spices but perfectly balanced with the coffee. I believe something about the drink was house made which made it special and taste better (I just forgot it's been weeks since I had this lol). Overall, Customer service was great and I would definitely come back but the parking is I believe on the street.

    Açaí bowl, vanilla latte
    Ella W.

    Great breakfast tacos, coffee, matcha, and açaí bowls!! Easy go-to place for breakfast!

    Vietnamese cold brew
    Raymond M.

    Vietnamese cold brew was alright. Customer service was acceptable. Nice decor and quiet setting. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. You can park in the street or Trader Joe's.

    Food was really yummy. Tater tots are the best !!!! Service exceptional, I order a side of chicken and they mistakenly put it on the grilled cheese, as soon as we told them they brought us the right item. We sat outside, the chairs could be a little more clean, but it was ok in general. Coffee wasn't the best (might've been what I ordered) but I definitely want to go back and try something else! Love this place !!

    Breakfast sandwich is 90% bun. If the standard order only includes a small sprinkling of egg, include the option to add extra egg.

Our event coordinator had already been in contact with each hotel's sales team regarding room blocks, but my fiancé and I wanted to personally see the properties before recommending them to 30-40 hotel room blocks. Although we arrived after sales office hours, Liz at the front desk was exceptionally kind. She walked us through the restaurants commonly used for private events, explained the renovation timeline, and invited us to take our time exploring before returning to the front desk to view a standard guest room. Unfortunately, our experience changed when another employee, who later identified himself as Clayton, a manager, stepped in. It appeared he had been listening to our conversation but had not introduced himself. He abruptly informed us that we would not be able to view a room. We explained that our event coordinator was already working with the sales manager regarding room blocks and pricing, and that we were simply trying to ensure we felt confident recommending the hotel to our family and friends. Despite understanding the situation, he remained unwilling to accommodate the request. His only suggestion was that we purchase a room if we wanted to see one. For us, this interaction spoke volumes. Hospitality isn't just about beautiful rooms--it's about making potential guests feel welcomed and valued. If this was the experience we received as prospective clients considering multiple wedding events and dozens of room nights, it gave us pause about what our guests might experience. As a result, we will likely to move our room block, welcome dinner, Saturday event, and Sunday brunch where we're met with warmth, flexibility, and genuine hospitality from the moment we arrive. The Joule is undeniably a beautiful property, but customer service plays a major role in our decision-making. Unfortunately, this experience left us feeling that our business was neither appreciated nor wanted.
