CoffeEmos is a vibe in East Dallas
Lisa Petty
From the outside looking in, you’d think Dallas had a serious caffeine addiction. Or incurable insomnia. Or maybe we just have to power through three side hustles to cope with rising costs for housing, food, gas, and utilities?
Whatever the case, the coffee shops around here are multiplying like wet Gremlins. Read on for a round-up of seven new Dallas-area cafes to score your next double espresso or matcha latte. No matter your drink of choice or reason for needing it, there’s a new place to keep you buzzing. Also, remember to consider your surroundings with our guide to cafe camping.
Nūr Coffee Bar
2741 E. Belt Line Rd., No. 107
Addison has its own stylish new cafe that feels like a spa. At Nūr, co-founders Onyi Odunukwe, Cedric Ogbuehi, Jonah Ott, and Lisa Nguyen hope to offer a “more personal experience.” In addition to coffee and tea drinks, their “wellness cups” include trendy ingredients like blue-green algae and hemp seed. For a more hedonistic personality, there are also giant icing-topped cinnamon rolls. Oh, and we can’t forget the $17 latte service–which we’d order again. They’re also testing a membership program which is not a bad idea, if you think about it.
CoffeEmos
3114 Swiss Ave., East Dallas
Do you like your coffee with a splash of nostalgia? This new spot in the Swiss Avenue Historic District is all about aughts-era goth. Order an American Idiot, inspired by the ‘04 Green Day album of the same name, which is an iced latte flavored with peanut butter and jelly. Sip it while you explore memorabilia like iPods, friendship bracelets and creepy pencil sketches (like the kind you did in detention).

Inclusion Coffee
2350 N. Beckley Ave., West Dallas
In addition to a location near the University of Texas at Arlington, Inclusion Coffee recently opened a second cafe in West Dallas. Both are beyond generously sized, allowing for commuters and campers to coexist comfortably. You can also reserve conference rooms at either location, because every meeting is better with a Homespun Latte, which is made with vanilla ice cream milk.
Matcha & Creme
10455 N. Central Expy., No. 106, North Dallas
This strip-center shop at Meadow Central Market opened in the spring and has been building a youthful fanbase ever since. Specialties include sweet, colorful, layered drinks made with matcha tea or espresso, plus trendy fruit-flavored refreshers. Sweets also come in the form of muffins, croissants and danishes. Seeking more substance in your sipper? Protein-packed drinks are also on the menu.
Maman
7200 Bishop Rd., Ste. D, Plano
This New York import’s expansion across North Texas continues with a brand-new spot in Plano’s Shops at Legacy East. Warm wood and patterned tiles reflect the chain’s French countryside aesthetic. So does the menu of coffee drinks, pastries, and light fare inspired by founders Benjamin Sormonte and Elisa Marshall’s childhood memories (maman means “mother” in French). Supposedly, they don’t want people working there, but we’ve never heard of anyone testing it.
KILO Coffee
6600 Snider Plaza, Ste. 110, Park Cities
This new high-concept cafe hosted its grand opening over Labor Day weekend. Located on the south end of Snider Plaza near Daniel Avenue, it aims to cater to “the curious, the classic, and the casual” with elevated offerings. How elevated? Well, there’s a single-origin slow bar featuring fancy roasts from Kenya, China, Colombia and California. Even the so-called “standard” offerings are kinda bougie, like the Bergamot Earl Grey Espresso Tonic.
Jetsetters Coffee Lounge
6911 Lemmon Ave., Love Field
Jetsetters Coffee Lounge is not in the actual airport, but adjacent to it in the Frontiers of Flight Museum. It’s open to anyone (you don’t need a museum ticket) seven days a week. It’s pretty cool if you like airplanes or just want a change of scenery. Order local faves like espresso drinks from Cultivar Coffee, Taco Deli tacos, and Sugar & Sage pastries to enjoy in the cafe’s aviation-themed setting. Be warned, the kids’ playland is just across the hallway; bring your headphones or your kids, whichever phase you’re currently in.
