NATIVE COFFEE CO. — Restaurant in Farmers Branch

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...

Precious shop in the corner of a business strip connected to a church. It’s rather unexpected, but so cute and worth the slight detour.

My go-to test for any coffee shop I visit is a cappuccino. I’m fairly picky and require it to be offered in only one size (6-8oz) and needs to be made with skill.

This shop met my base requirements. The cappuccino was the perfect size and even came with beautiful art. The foam was pretty thick and kept its form a good half way down or so. However, I’m rating down because I didn’t find the actual espresso to be very strong. Almost tasted watery? Like maybe it was made from americano with cappuccino foam? Idk. I think a stronger shot of espresso could up my rating to a full five stars because the place is precious and everything else was great.

Not much in the way of food. There’s a pastry counter but we weren’t there for food. I loved the holiday/specialty drinks they had posted as well. I have a friend who would be all over that.

There’s a good amount of seating as well.

Because it’s covid times, everyone standing was in a mask and proper safety measures seemed to be in place.

Overall a great experience and...
