    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.

    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!

    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

    This place is better than Starbucks, but don't just take my word for it. Go there. The staff is wonderful, the menu choices are plentiful, and the environment is great for coming and going or staying. There's even a back bar area room that is good for parties and private meetings.

    Seasonal biscoff latte

    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 ;)

    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.

    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.

    Strawberry matcha latte and Xaman horchata
    Jade W.

    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!

    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 :)

    Lovely cafe that has a speakeasy with a risky name. Lattes came in the coolest mugs. Soup was surprisingly good and service was perfect. I think they should warn people about the presentation of the churros. It was different but still tasty.

    Host and waitress were attentive. Sat us down quickly. Food was really good! They sat us in the back room which was really cool feels like you're going into a speakeasy bar and it pretty much is! Was there for breakfast though! Had the croissant with soup! Soup was pozole by the way soooo yummy! Lavender Matcha was great!

    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.

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.

I thought from the menu and social media that this was an upscale dining venue, unfortunately, there are things that make it not so. First, where is the entrance? It was not easy to find. Thankfully, there were plenty of unhoused men ready to lead the way. Second, when I'm dressed up, I typically wear heels. Unfortunately, this is an old building and there are only stairs to get you to the restaurant. Save the heels ladies, this restaurant isn't made for all that sass. There is an elevator, but it says for ADA only and it also takes 5 lifetimes to get to each floor. The majority of the customers were dressed in casual clothes such as jeans and t-shirts. I'm visiting Dallas and I guess I didn't understand what this end of town is like. The photo shoot version of the restaurant in social media didn't match the clientele tonight.

My husband and I ordered the calamari and the pork for appetizers. I had the chip salad and the lobster mac b cheese for my entrees. My husband had the veal. He liked his entree. We both thought the calamari was fresh, but the breading needed more seasoning and a crispier blend to also stick to the food. The pork chunks were tender and salty. My salad was fresh and gave a variety of veggies to feel like I was eating healthy. The lobster mac would have been better without the lobster, it had no flavor. I was offered dessert, but our server said there was absolutely no espresso or coffee beans. There was only premade espresso for espresso martinis. So, I didn't try the dessert.
