This is a great spot for a latte, on this visit I tried a seasonal flavor which I liked. It's a large space with an artsy indoor area and a hall-like section. I've been quite a few times, they have live music on certain days and i even went there for a comedy show once which was cool. The service is good and what I really like is they stay open late which is hard to find in a coffee shop in this area. Whether you're there for a good coffee or late-night vibes, it's a solid pick! read more

My stylist is in the building and I was super early for my appointment so I stopped in to check the spot out. Grabbed a banana matcha drink and an avocado toast. Both were okay. They had cold pressed juice as well. So I'd go back and try something else if I was ever early again. read more

Santa has come and gone. He's back snuggling with Mrs C. Spent the day running errands and buying more stuff for someone who may not be named. And close to my bedtime, my babe mentions a shindig in downtown Big D. So why not. No work tomorrow. Very trendy spot on Bothan Jean. Black Eye is a great blend with a nice caffeine kick. If you are in the dessert mind, go Key Lime. They need some parking but other than that, fun evening spot. read more

My Friday 12/20/24 I had the breakfast sandwich, recommended by the staff. It was good, and i wanted a slice of the merry berry pie that i shared with my work bestie. The crust was tasty and flaky in my opinion. Delicious. I came here to have a little caffeine and Christmas spirit. The ambiance, they have an artsy Christmas tree decorated with ornaments designed by OBC patrons. I took pictures and videos, I thought this was very cheerful. read more

If I could give it zero stars, I would. This was the worst experience I've ever had at a coffee shop. And mind you, I travel all over the US for work, so I've been to thousands of coffee shops. Not once have I had to wait 45 minutes for my coffee and then be told that my sandwich wouldn't be ready because the toaster doesn't work. Then why take the order in the first place? To summarize, the coffee was too long and didn't taste good. I would never recommend this place to anyone. It's a waste of time, energy, and money. read more

That chicken salad sandwich really isn't great. I don't know how you can improve it other than going back to the drawing board. Service was fine. read more

Lovely people, excellent tea and coffee. Amazing place to hang out after work to let gridlock traffic pass you by~ Love the interior too, the artsy indie vibe is definitely to my taste. read more

What a hidden jewel! We were planning on eating at another place nearby but running late for the music show so I looked up this place on Yelp to see the food options, which had good reviews but more about the coffee and breakfast. I called in and spoke with a nice gentleman who went over the dinner options. FYI, you have to get the correct phone number from their website since the one on Yelp is old. We split and shared a chicken salad sandwich and a turkey sandwich. They have several sandwiches and bread options. We decided on wheat toast for both and they were super delicious! You can easily say they take pride in their sandwiches with homemade ingredients including making their own pickles. They were well stacked and filling. Julie, the owner, helped us nicely match with some Belgium beer and white wine. She was super friendly, informative, and a big reason why we enjoyed our visit. We finished off with some lava cake a la mode, and again delicious! Somehow I didn't get to eat my half though . The band we saw was awesome and the sound and audience created a perfect atmosphere. It was an acoustic set by Kelly's Lot from California and the guitarist, Perry, is from Texas and they could play the blues really well. There was also a younger gentleman who joined in playing a cajon on a few of the songs which was a nice surprise. And even the audience jumped in a few times singing along and clapping to the music. It was such an enjoyable ensemble. I highly recommend checking out the music and dinner. It's a great experience! read more

Best chai I've ever had and some of the best coffee shop vibes. Eclectic spot located in what appears to be a renovated historic building

Great location, fun vibe. Coffee was great! However the breakfast croissant left a little to be desired - the ham was piled high, but cold; the sandwich fell apart and the egg was scarce. Was expecting a better experience for the prices charged. read more

I can rarely tell a difference between coffee shop coffees, but I know for sure they have good coffee. They WANT you to like their products, and you can tell! They're always happy to help and it's a great place to relax or get some work done. read more

Awesome coffee, but I come here for the cool urban vibe! The live music never disappoints! This place is worth a visit

Great music, atmosphere, service & the best expresso martini in the country! No kidding.

Checked this coffee shop today and really liked the vibes. It's spacious inside and also has a stage for live music. It looks like they regularly have local music acts swing by, so I would be interested to come back for a show because the coffee shop + music vibes = my favorite. :) I got the Texas Maple Pecan drip coffee and it was pretty tasty - not overly sweet with the maple and not too overpowering with the pecan flavor. There's a couple of other drip coffee options in addition to your standard coffee shop options (lattes, cappuccinos, chai lattes, etc.). Overall I enjoyed my visit to Opening Bell. read more

I really enjoyed this hidden (hidden!) gem of a coffee shop in downtown Dallas. Parking was a bit hard to find - I ended up in a metered space on the street. This place is in the basement of a residential building. I walked through an underground passage to find the shop tucked away in a corner behind a gym, art space and next to a bodega. Even though the coffee house is underground, it was brightened by some street-level windows. The space was cozy and cluttered. I had a cafe au lait and a cinnamon roll and enjoyed the artsy vibe. read more

I found street parking and wondered around the building complex and enjoyed the different things like stock certs, different posters and random art throughout the place. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, quiet on a sunday. Its a very okay cup of coffee, with their balanced sweetness with the 1833 syrup. The coffee felt more watery then I would like. Came out to be around the $7 mark for an iced oatmilk latte with vanilla. Unsure if i would ever go back, they do serve an espresso milkshake type deal that did get my attention. read more

Opening Bell Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Stopped by Opening Bell Coffee in the basement of the South Side of the Lamar Lofts in Downtown Dallas to use our coffee passport. Outside, parking can be a little difficult, but if you turn down Belleview Street, free parallel parking is available at the end of the road. I tasted Noble Coyote Roasters' Barking Dog drip coffee, which has a flavor profile of chocolate, caramel, sweet, and mellow finish. The coffee shop was unexpectedly big and the drip coffee was great. This location would be ideal for a concert and some beverages or coffee. read more

So cute inside! The coffee is super delicious and the workers are friendly. They offer local beers too, which is fun 10/10

quality of coffee is consistently delicious but what makes it the most special is the quality of people and service. truly wonderful ambiance and a calming place to spend time! read more

ENVIRONMENT: Located in the basement of a commercial + residential loft, this spot has a cool vibe with lots of stringed lights on the ceiling and a soft playlist for background music. I came to work during the day and there are about 3 outlets on the wall that you can plug into and find a table near by. Good lighting from the windows and Wi-Fi works well. COFFEE: I got a drip coffee with oat milk and the temperature wasn't as hot as I prefer but the taste was still good. PARKING: If you aren't familiar with the area, parking might seem confusing. On the caddy corner to the coffee shop entrance, there is a retail lot where you can find parking. However, if you come in the evening when there's a concert at the near by venue, parking might be harder to find. read more

I just adore this place. Admittedly, I may be bit biased as this would be one of my first re-acclimating spots back to Dallas. I have beast-moded here - laptop in tow. It would also be the home for a monthly show I first took witness to and have since had the honor to be a part of for the last, nearly, two years. Ps: It's every first Friday. Stop by and say hi! Located in the basement of Southside on Lamar, this spot is landmark in its own right. Many an up-and-coming musician have found their stage legs here and with good reason. They've hosted one of the longest running music mics in town. A stone's throw from Gilley's & Poor David's Pub, it holds its own right on Lamar Street - aka music row. Pascale, the owner, is a peach and continues to educate herself on the latest and greatest on coffee (ie Counter Culture style). Love a female founded a led spot. Being her monthly has afforded from a nice trip around the menu. From peach salsa to quiche, to coffee to kombucha, they've got it all. Parking may prove a bit challenging pending if Gilley's is using the comp'd lot outside it's doors. Budget in some extra driving time. The overall feel of it is jazz hub, or underground cellar, you'd see in Nola or Chicago. The host other cool events, too. Enjoy! read more

I stopped here while waiting for my daughter to be done with an event, and I was very pleased. The quiche was delicious (on the small side, but it IS a coffee shop & not a full blown restaurant), and the mango smoothie was so tasty. The quiche was hearty and flavorful and the smoothie hit the spot! The vibe is 5 stars - very eclectic, industrial, and music-inspired. When live music is playing, this seems like the spot to be. read more

A neat little hole in the wall. It's very open and they have a good selection of drinks and food. I got a chai latte and it was a good inbetween a spicy and sweet chai. Worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

Come for the coffee, stay for one of the evening entertainment sessions. A couple girlfriends and I met up at Opening Bell and enjoyed food/ drinks while being engaged by their evening act(s) on their stage. The café itself feels so quaint and artsy with it's tiny stage, exposed brick that you can see on the outside, and intriguing pictures adorning the coffee shop. I ordered a London fog with oat milk which, at their coffee shop, comes with vanilla and lavender. I like my drinks a little stronger so I ended up asking for more lavender which they graciously added in; it was a subtle, sweet, drink that I slowly sipped down throughout the performance(s). Although I'd love to see a decaf coffee option/ slightly stronger tea in future, the environment as well as the staff made this experience blissful and I'd gladly come again and overlook that just to be able to savor the Opening Bell experience. Thank you, Opening Bell, for providing a low-key nook to settle into! read more

Was really looking forward to finding a hole in the wall but not impressed with the quality of their matcha nor fresh baked selections.

Great service. Cute ambiance and the venue hosts live music. Coffee was bold and delicious.

We stayed across the street at the Kanvas hotel, we just wandered in early one morning. Very cool coffee shop. I ordered a sugar free latte and avocado toast. The latte was one of the best I've ever had! Toast was mediocre. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone! read more

We came here on a spur of the moment cuz I was getting sleepy, and we still had a long night ahead full of events, plus I wanted to continue on my quest to "conquer" every coffee shop in the metroplex that offers coffee art lol. It took us a lil while looking for parking since I didn't feel like paying to park for just about an hour. Luckily, we found a good spot almost right across the street, after driving around the area for about 10mins. Without reading the reviews prior to coming here, I was surprised to see that the coffee shop is located in the basement, not your typical coffee shop with an outdoor/patio seating. For some weird reasons, it was a nice change for me, to encounter something different like this. It's a small, cozy coffee shop, with some comfortable sofa chairs that a few of the customers seemed to take full advantage of that and got cozy up with their SO. There are also some small wooden tables that would sit 4 people and a long one. We opted for the long table since it wasn't that crowded, as well as to be a little farther away from everyone else to continue our girls talk lol. Their coffee was decent. However I was disappointed to get my first cup of coffee without any coffee art in it. It was probably made by the new barista that's still in training. My second cup was a little better, with what looks like some kind of coffee art, tho i couldn't tell what it was lol. To add to my surprise list about this place, apparently they had live music that night (or possibly during the weekend). Even better, the singer was playing on an acoustic guitar and she got amazing voice. I thoroughly enjoyed it up until some lady came over and asked us to lower down our voice. Not sure how loud we were talking, the fact that I had a hard time hearing what my friend was saying here and there, and so did she, since we both were trying not to be too loud. The lady was very nice and polite about it, so it wasn't a biggie, but it was cue for us to go and move on to the main event of that night. Overall, I will definitely come back here one of those nights that they have live music again. This place gives me a nice, cozy feeling. It'd be perfect for a cold, windy night when I don't feel like sitting outside and just want to snuggle up close and personal with a special someone and sip on my cup of coffee, listening to some slow songs :). read more
