NATIVE COFFEE CO.

Found this coffee shop driving around our hotel. Glad I stopped in. Friendly staff and the cappuccino was awesome. Will be back if I’m ever in the DFW!

Very good coffee i had the seasonal strawberry mountain
Good staff, only complaint is it is a tad pricey
But if you stay and hangout or study it’s def worth it

Honestly I'm not sure why people love this place. Stopped in on my way to work this morning and while the place is beautiful, I found the vibe odd. It was strangely quiet. Baristas were not welcoming or energetic 😒. My to-go iced coffee was honestly not drinkable. It had a bitter flavor and the almond milk they used left a waxy residue in my mouth. Sadly, I took two sips and tossed my coffee. I wish I'd tasted it before I left so I could have asked for a refund. I wanted to support an indie shop but I'm afraid I won't be back to Native.

Great coffee. Friendly staff, plenty of seats, good wifi and plenty of parking

Kinda frustrating that they have some really nice looking seasonal lattes, but won’t even let you get it iced… all because the Barista thinks it will taste “bad”

I’ve been a regular here for a year and this must be a new policy since I’ve never had this problem in the past

Its as simple as putting ice in the same drink, I don’t mind if the barista thinks it apparently would taste bad, pretty confident it wouldn’t have been an issue w me

Really good coffee, but it can get pretty loud on Sundays since it is inside the Storehouse Church building. Good location, but can be hard to spot if you're just going for the first time. Good quality and good people.

Very fun and creative craft coffee. They change their special every season. Highly recommend

Great cafe, would definitely visit again.

First time there and I really liked it! The shop is very clean, spacious and contemporary, but including earthy elements that look amazing. I ordered their Panama-El Letrero brew and their cold Denali seasonal drink, really liked both! Will definitely come back! I just had a hard time finding the menu, found pictures of the wall behind the counter and the seasonal drinks but not their brews, I looked on their website and Google links, are they listed somewhere else?

I spend a lot of time in coffee shops working and I appreciate detailed reviews from other people so I try to do that when I try out a new place.

That being said, coffee was pretty good. Not mind blowing but decent espresso. I had an iced oat latte and it was good.
They had a nice array of work spaces and seating options including nice tall tables/bars for working or chatting with friends. I like to have the option to stand while working and the tables were tall enough for this to be possible, so point there.
Warning though, you might have to fight for the seating you want though. I went on a rainy Wednesday morning and it was pretty full the whole time I was there (about three hours).

In terms of vibe I wasn't a huge fan. I don't have any specific complaints about the vibe or staff but it felt a little hollow if that makes sense.
And at the risk of sounding like a Karen, the staff could have been more welcoming. I like going to coffee shops where the people want to make you feel welcome and at home in their space and the employees working the counter weren't rude but they just gave bad vibes. I felt like they'd rather me not be there and it kind of soured my time spent there.

And I'm really not expecting the red carpet rolled out for me I just think a good coffee shop is one that makes people feel welcome and I would not say Native does this based on this one visit.

All in all, it just felt like one of those coffee shops that's going for an aesthetic more than anything else. They got the aesthetic down mostly, but, for me, thats not what makes a good coffee shop.

Of course if you're in the area and need a place to work or get coffee, it is definitely a good option. It's just not gonna be something I go out of the way for.
