Walking into Xaman is like being transported to a cool vibey cafe in Mexico City. They do not replace great ambiance with the lack of flavor in their food! We got the mollete and chilaquiles. The bread is fluffy and crispy with flavorful beef. Chilaquiles with birria were one of the best we've had, and stayed fairly crispy throughout the meal. I usually don't order drinks, but had to get a coffee to drink it from these cute cups and their drink menu is so unique. The waitress recommended a coco latte since it wasn't too sweet and it was a great drink to pair the meal with. They separate the horchata and espresso in the Xaman Horchata so you can try both and the horchata is so smooth and good. read more

Stopped by Xaman Café and it was a great coffee shop experience! I got the horchata matcha and it was really good -- smooth, flavorful, and a nice twist on a classic matcha. The service was super speedy and my drink came out quickly, which I really appreciated. The vibe was chill and it's a cute spot to hang out or grab something on the go. I didn't try any food this time, but I definitely plan to next visit. Overall, a solid spot and I'd recommend it for coffee or matcha lovers! read more

3.5 stars Food: The food was decent. I thought the portion of chilaquiles was pretty small compared to others I've had. While they don't have specific kids' options, they offer really good pancakes. We also ordered a green juice and a sandwich, which were both great. The service: this is where I think there is room for improvement. Our waiter seemed annoyed with us the whole time simply for asking questions (we were first-timers). Maybe a bad day, idk? While the food was decent, it was nothing spectacular that I would rush back for! However, if in the area again, I'd be willing to give it another try. read more

I had coffee and a pastry at Xamán Cafe with my mom this past weekend when we were in Oak Cliff/Bishop Arts for a morning. First of all, the cafe is gorgeous. The cafe is inspired by Mexico's pre-Hispanic culture and history. The cafe itself is modern and bright, but you can see touches of pre-Hispanic culture in their menu and in their dishes. They serve their coffees in mugs made in Mexico - that are beautiful and traditional (black clay with faces on them, in a style popular in and traditional to the state of Oaxaca). We were meeting someone for brunch in a bit, so we couldn't eat a full meal, but I'd love to return for brunch in the future. (They serve brunch daily - starting at 7:30 on weekdays and 8 on Saturdays and Sundays.) Their menu is great - full of Mexican dishes I love: chilaquiles, enmoladas, pozole (only on weekends), sopa de fideo (M-Th only), and more... In addition to their menu, they offer some pastries at the counter. I tried their cajeta empanada, which was very good. Their drink menu is great, too, though: cafe de olla, Oaxaca mocha (with Mexican chocolate), cajeta macchiato, matcha, cocktails (like a fun play on an espresso martini and a carajillo), and more... My mom had a simple coffee, but I tried their Xamán horchata: their house made horchata and a double espresso. Our coffees were great. My empanada was a treat. The service was good. The cafe is gorgeous. I'd be happy to return - hopefully next time for some food from their great menu! read more

I've had this place on my list for a while and finally decided to stop by. We were seated quickly they have a front area and back area for customers. The menu is a great size not to large being overwhelming or to small. There coffees all sounded delicious but i got the espresso horchata iced which they bring the espresso on the side so you can manage how much you intake at a time. The flautas came recommended and were delicious. They had a subtle spice which was perfect and that crunch you expect read more

GREAT food, drinks and staff! The eggs on my avocado toast were perfectly cooked, and the base was seasoned well. I also got the seasonal biscoff latte and it was perfect. Vibes are calm and lovely, and I was pleasantly surprised with the selection of baked goods. I can't wait to come back to try the crepas ;) read more

Xaman Cafe - Power Bowl - Cafes Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This cafe is picture perfect and oh-so-calm and cozy inside. Lots of natural light to match the furniture, plateware, and drinkware which all appear to be made of wood and clay. Artisan crafted coffee mugs hand-carved with faces or delicately painted jarritos. It's way more fun to drink your cafe de olla, chai, or hot chocolate when it's served in an art piece that you're actually allowed to touch! Feels extra special. We felt a little rushed during our visit, although our waitress was very kind. We had the cafe do olla (traditional Mexican coffee brewed with cinnamon sticks and piloncillo), which has a really nice sweetness and a hint of cinnamon-y spice. Super cozy and smells like Christmas. We also had iced brown sugar spiced lattes, my new favorite. Not too sweet. For breakfast, we had to try the chilaquiles. My friend opted for t he verde while I had the chilaquiles roja -- corn tortilla chips soaked in a savory, deep red chili sauce, topped with two perfectly fried eggs over easy. We added avocado because why not. It was too much food for me to finish, but every bite was throughly fabulous. read more

Gorgeous space, very intimate. I had to remove two stars though for the customer service. The staff working the counter as well as our server didn't make me feel very welcome. I didn't catch the server's name but she was clearly trying to flip her table as soon as possible. During breakfast here, she returned incessantly to ask if we were done or needed anything else. It was aggressive especially while in deep conversation or mid bite. The chilaquiles were fine and I liked the brown sugar latte. They also have a cute patio out front. Parking was a bit rough, street parking with meters. Overall, the service being a bit off putting keeps me from wanting to visit again. read more

This was my first stop for food in Dallas. It was one of my favorites BY FAR! I ordered the strawberry matcha latte. It may have been a Valentine's special, but if not you have to try! We tried the Mexican croissant and the chilaquiles. I would recommend both! The staff were so friendly. They explained the dishes, specials, and story behind the restaurant. We went for brunch time but it was a bit busy in the front so we got to sit in the back half that actually turns into a speakeasy at night. The front half is very bright and full of plants. The back half containing the speakeasy is very moody (in a good way). They even had fresh florals on each table. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Dallas! read more

Xaman Cafe is one of the nicest brunches I have had in a LONG time! The Flan was thick and creamy, on the eggy side, I enjoyed it not sure if its for you? The corn pancakes were my favorite, paired perfectly with their light syrup. soft and moist and balanced. Birria is decent its also a balanced not too greasy or salty meal anyone can enjoy. The drinks were what I was hyped up for, so I got the matcha and coffee hortchata and also the Jamaica , they were all kinda just watery Music was a bit loud for brunch but they have tons of seating around, service was better for a brunch experience. I ordered most of the things I wanted off the brunch so I would need to see if there would be new seasonal items or a change in menu to pair with the pancakes. read more

Such a cute spot!!! The interior is sooo pretty and their coffee is so good! If i lived closer id be here more often for coffee and a pastry c: We dined in on a saturday for lunch and they have seating in the front of the cafe and also much more in the back by the bar! We ordered small cups of red pozole (delicious btw we cleared those so fast) and i got the chorizo omelette and i loved how their green salsa is super spicy and flavorful!! The cups the coffee were served in are v cute too. Id love to stop by for dinner and try out their cocktails! Our server was also super friendly and attentive :) read more

I went for the corn pancakes as I was comparing to the blue corn pancakes that I had at another restaurant. The breakfast/brunch menu was very limited. The staff was friendly and attentive. The corn pancakes were okay. They were pretty heavy and didn't come with a side. I don't believe this establishment serves a side of bacon. I don't remember if I had two or three pancakes but I didn't leave as full as what I would like. Cool vibe. I heard it turns into a speakeasy after a certain time. read more

THE BIG: Located in Bishop Arts district of Dallas. This is a cute Oaxacan style restaurant with delicious food! Bags of Mexican coffee line the hallway. Street parking available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: Wowowow. This spot is where it's at. I came up with the wife and a childhood friend to see the Texas Rangers game. The brunch at Xaman Cafe was part of the tour. The restaurant seems small at first, but then you walk back and there's another part of the restaurant that seems like a speakeasy. I bet it is at night. Classic Oaxaca decor and flair. We ordered the mole chilequiles, torta ahogada, and the oaxacan mocha for that caffeine fix. All was so good. The mole chilequiles had a nice nuttiness with the mole and the torta was delivered in a tomato based dipping sauce that was absolutely amazing. THE FINAL BAMBOO: For two dishes and an oaxacan mocha, the damage done was around $45. Great meal all around and I will definitely be back to try more items. read more

Overall this place was pretty good. The vibe inside was amazing. It's nice and cozy in the front and more elegant once dinner service starts. Me and my friend got the el coco latte and the horchata matcha latte. The coco latte was good but on the sweeter side and the matcha was not all that. It just tasted like milk with a small hint of horchata and matcha. I would definitely go back again to try some of their food and more of their drinks. The staff were also very friendly and helped us decide on what to get which was nice. read more

First time here and could say it's my last time.. this place got so much hype from social media. Decided to try their brunch to find out if it's any good,It's just an average place with average food. We ordered Chilaquiles with beef and to be honest the food was cold and chips were not hot, the only thing hot was the eggs on top. One thing I will say is the food had nice flavor but definitely cold. I ordered myself a café de Olla and they brought it like in a cereal bowl, for a $7 coffee it did not have much cafe.. very disappointed. The macchiato was actually better. The server was polite and very attentive. I do recommend getting in early as the place does get a wait line. We also tried the quesa-birria tacos and those had good taste but it seems like they use the really small tacos tortilla. They should name the mini tacos. Definitely not what we expected. read more

First time at xaman and visiting Dallas area. Was looking for authentic Mexican food and stumbled upon this café. I called early morning to see if they were going to be open since it was Easter day, and the hours were 8am-4PM. We showed up around 10am and there was no wait for 3 ppl. We were sat in the back area which is a bit dark but the ambiance is still nice. We ordered two plates of chilaquiles, one veggie with mole and the other with salsa verde and birria. Omg both were so good! The birria was flavorful and tender and the mole was just right, not too chocolatey. The beans were also smooth to perfection and the coffees were exceptional. I'm more of a hot coffee girl but the iced horchata was good! read more

This cute spot caught our attention. We went on a Sunday morning before it got too busy (around 9:30am). Its very cute and quite small so expect a wait if you go during their busy time. I really loved their decor and their coffee was very good (at $7 a pop)! The food, I have to say was just ok and a bit overpriced for the size. They offer bite size sweet bread at about $4 to $5 each, which honestly you can get at any mexican bakery for $1. I do understand you are paying for the up and coming Jefferson / Bishop area, and still do recommend to try it out, just expect small portions at premium price. Service was top knotch! read more

Amazing conchas! Probably the best I've had yet and I'm Mexican so that says a lot. Matcha was okay, it was more horchata than anything but I like horchata so I gave it a pass. We had a torta ahogada and it was good but I expected the carnitas to be more tender. I'd come here again to try the dinner menu. read more

Ambiance is wonderful from decor to music to interior design to plating design. Service is top notch, welcoming, friendly. Coffee and coffee mixes are strong and immensely flavorful. Mollete was favorite of all 3 dishes - perfect breakfast food and well balanced between all ingredients. Empanadas were flavorful and plenty of masa although a little on the dry side but masa definitely the star. The enmoladas were spot on with the flavor and textures. This place brought back childhood memories. Highly recommend!!!. read more

Located off jefferson in the middle of all the happenings of oak cliff. Xaman delivered great coffee! I prefer the coffee more than food. The avocado toast with eggs needed something to elevated the dish. It was just salt and pepper. It needed chili flakes, Mexican hot honey or something to tie Mexican flavor with avocado toast. The decor and vibe is rich in culture. The Duvalin latte was different and I much prefer this over hola cafe. I wanna try more coffee read more

This has to be my new favorite cafe! There is more seating in the back and a lovely bar area. We opted for the bar seats which seemed more spacious and it was fun to see their tequila collection. We ordered a cafe de olla, Xaman horchata, beef power bowl, and the avena. The cafe de olla was delicious and the perfect amount of sweetness. The xaman horchata was also great, but I should've listened to the waitress and poured the espresso to taste vs dumping the whole thing. We got a side of the Serrano salsa for the power bowl and it was so good! Spicy, but flavorful. I would probably order the chicken power bowl instead of the beef next time just bc I wasn't a fan of the meat. The food was very filling, refreshing, and just very good clean eats. It was the perfect thing to start the day! On our way out, all of the staff we encountered greeted us. It's no wonder why their restaurant gets so busy! Excited to come back and try more. read more

I was visiting family this past weekend from California. I have to say this was hands down my favorite authentic Mexican restaurant in Dallas. From the moment we stepped into the place service was on point and very attentive. While being seated looking around at there small but very clean details inside was very nice. The moment we got our food we knew this was going to be good quality. It was not only fresh but pack with flavor. This place was so good all around I wish they had a location in California! read more

I'm from out of town, and I'll be making Xaman Cafe a must-visit spot every time I visit Dallas! The food here was absolutely delicious. This cafe is located in a pretty trendy area. I did not see a designated parking lot, but there are parking spots available on the street nearby where you can pay to park. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant isn't the biggest, so it can get packed fairly quickly, especially on weekends. We came in on a Sunday morning for a party a three. It was a bit of a wait, but luckily there was bar seating available that shortened our wait. Inside, the restaurant has two areas. The front is a bright dining area featuring a counter where you can purchase drinks and pastries. When you make your way towards the back of the restaurant, it splits into a bar area. Dim lighting, very intimate, it gives off a completely different vibe from the front end. We sat at the bar, and the service was a bit slow. It took some time to place a drink order at the bar, and even getting a simple Michelada took over 10 minutes. The michelada was not your average michelada, it was really really dark. Very smoky in taste compared to other micheladas, I wouldn't recommend getting a michelada here. However, the mimosa was good, and their "Duvalin Latte" was also great. The latte truly captures that chocolate-strawberry taste of a Duvaline!!! It is a latte, so expect the coffee taste, but it's not too harsh on the espresso. I got it iced, and it came in a cute clay cup. To eat, we got the "Chilaquiles" with chicken and salsa verde, and the "Machete de Barbacoa" (the machete is only served on weekends, FYI.) The chilaquiles were some of the best chilaquiles I have ever had. This is the reason I am coming back here, for these chilaquiles! Everything about it was delicious. From the salsa to the way the chicken was cooked and seasoned, even the egg was cooked to my liking perfectly! 10/10 for the chilaquiles! The Machete de Barbacoa was also tasty, flavors you can't get at any common Mexican restaurant. A machete is basically a big quesadilla using a corn tortilla. The barbacoa they use is made from goat, it wasn't too gamey in taste, which is great. The barcoa itself was tasty, but the game changer was the broth that came with the dish. Once you dip a piece of the machete in the broth, the flavor is changed and elevated. It took the dish from a level 8 to a level 12 by dipping it in the broth. You could sip the broth straight from the cup, that's how good it was. Xaman, I will be back. The flavors of the dishes here were fantastic, flavors you don't often come across. If you come here, I'll say it again: I highly suggest ordering the chilaquiles. read more

The ambiance is perfect. Cozy and small. If you're going on a weekend I can see it filling up easily. I went on a Thursday night and we could easily get a table. The drinks are AMAZING! Flavor is perfect, execution is perfect, amount of alcohol you get for the price is fair. The food was good, we got lengua, empanadas and churros. The menu is a little limited if you don't eat pork. Expect tapas style food, small bites but flavorful. I went with my friend but I will def be back to take my boyfriend. I think this will be our new go to speakeasy read more

Great food and great coffee and ambiance! It gets very crowded but we were able to get a table relatively fast on a Saturday morning. Got the Xamán horchata and molette. We also got the empanadas to start because they had to turn off their gas for the first 30 mins we were there and were unable to prepare the food. Service was still good during this time and they were great about keeping us in the loop about the food status. read more

Very delicious food just South of Bishop Arts. I came with two other friends on Saturday morning around 10:30am. The cafe is small, with a few seats inside and a few in the back. Seems like the back would be a speakeasy at night. We were seated fairly quickly and our food came out quickly as well. The chilaquiles is OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD. Highly recommend adding Birria meat and opting for mole. Their coffee is also exquisite and comes in fun mugs! All of their dishes are large and filling. Very worth stopping by if you're in a small group! read more

Xaman Cafe - These are their delicious coffees - Cafes Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We were nearby at the Texas Theater for an event and came to Xaman to grab dinner as it was a hop skip and a jump away. The minute we walked in the door, we knew we wanted to dine here. They take reservations for dinner and though the dining was completely booked up, they allowed us to sit in the front cafe area and order a meal. The hubs needed caffeine (which was one reason we picked this place to dine) and he cannot have dairy, he was able to get a cortado with oat milk which he loved. We each ordered something different. I got an appetizer (see photo) and the hubs got Enmoladas. Both were delish. Portions were modest but perfect since we were headed to the theater right afterwards and going to get popcorn at the concession stand. read more

The food here is amazing! Each person in my party agreed that we would come here again. The favorite dish was, surprisingly, the salad that came with the croissant because it has a homemade dressing that is light and delicious. That was the best matcha latte I've tried. I didn't see the back, but there's not much seating in the front so it may be a better brunch spot for small groups. read more

This place is very unique. I had the opportunity to try both their cafe and their night menu ayahuasca. The daytime xaman cafe is interesting but not extraordinary. I had the chilaquiles and they tasted great but the texture was ruined quite quickly with the dish as it got soggy 7/10. I also had a sandwich here with chorizo but that one was just average 5/10. The cinnamon concha was quite good as a one time experience 7/10. For the night menu, I loved the ayahuasca drink. It was sophisticated but not too sharp. The pineapple was a nice touch 8/10. The tuetanos were simply amazing. The bone marrow paired with the ribeye extremely well. Pair it with the tortilla and it was a simply amazing dish. Spicy, flavorful, and decadent. 9/10. The pato and pipan was solid but not noteworthy. The duck was cooked well and flavorful. However it fell short to other experiences I've had with duck. 7/10 The ceviche was also solid. It was light and refreshing and a decent appetizer 7/10. The flan however was very disappointing. I wasn't a fan of the texture nor the coffee undertone. I was excited for this dish as I had amazing flan earlier in the day but it fell short. 4/10 The churros were just churros. Can't really go wrong I liked them. 7/10 Overall, I'd really recommend people to try the ayahuasca night time menu. It's an amazing experience and I'm glad I chose to stop by. Very unique flavors and the bone marrow dish is something worth coming back for. The ambiance, service, food and drink are all noteworthy. read more
