    Best coffee shop around, with robust espresso, perfectly frothed cappuccinos, friendly service, and an ambience conducive to both working or social outings. Grit and character in the heart of uptown.

    Great score all around: drinks, service, atmosphere. You won't be disappointed. Lots of seating area for the size, good tunes, and lots of natural light. Give OLC a try!

    A pretty good little study spot/place to do work. Not very big, but pretty quiet with a choice of tables or comfy seating. Friendly baristas and solid lattes!

    Formerly Urban Dog Coffee, this Oak Lawn hipster hangout claims to have the city'€™s best iced coffee, and we'€™re inclined to believe them. Read more

    I've never had the iced coffee, but the cappuccinos are perfect and the place is a little cozier than Pearl Cup and not as crowded. I just wish they stayed open later than 8 pm

    I used to go to the Starbuck's corner of Oak Lawn and Rawlins but parking is awful so when I saw the sign outside Urban Dog Coffee that they have best ice coffee in Dallas, I had to stop in and try it Read more

    They've copied the horrible service of a true hipster joint, but the coffee is abysmal

    Didn't think it was the "best iced coffee in Dallas". In fact I think they used expired almond milk... Either way. Disappointed.
