La Reunion

14 Essential Restaurants in Bishop Arts

"It’s hard to find a better spot to sit, work, drink coffee, or have a little afternoon cocktail than La Reunion. This indoor/outdoor cafe also has bites for breakfast, lunch, and snacks — including one extremely delicious egg and bagel breakfast sammie." - Courtney E. Smith

"Eggs, coffee, mimosas: this tiny Bishop Arts cafe has all the things you need for a good breakfast. As a bonus, it’s quite popular with the WFH crowd so bring your laptop along for a delicious working meal. The egg and bagel sandwiches are a great handheld order." - Courtney E. Smith

Went here after work for happy hour. The drinks were good but the prices were high for happy hour. They didn’t have many choices for food and what they did have was also a little on the higher end. Again this is Happy Hour and I spent almost $30 just for 1 drink and a sandwich. Atmosphere- Nice. Seating outside and inside. Outside has a fan with mist which was nice. You can also sit in the front as well.

Love this place so much—beautiful! Very chill spot to come relax at after work—music, drinks, and vibes are great and very relaxing. The bartenders here have gotten me to expand my palate by creating custom drinks on the spot for me. Ask for Carson, Ray, and Jonny (haven’t seen him in a while so might be missing him when he’s here)—great service and knowledgeable about craft coffee and cocktails! Highly recommend!!!! 🖤

The establishment was very clean and inviting. The staff was friendly and attentive. Greeted me as soon as I walked in. It didn’t take a long time for me to place my order, maybe about 5 or 10 minutes, which is understandable since it was pretty full. I had a Mixed berry muffin and a flat white cappuccino. They were delicious, zero complaints. The order took about 8 minutes or so to come out. They also have cocktails available and an outside patio. Overall great experience will definitely be coming back again.

Big shout out to our waitress wearing the 1989 necklace (I was unable to get her name). Outstanding customer service, respectful, and very attentive. This is the second time my family and I attend this venue. Definitely recommend! Love the atmosphere.

Beautiful place but the food and service was disappointing. People that arrived twenty minutes after us got their food before us and it was breakfast tacos just like we ordered. It took forever to get our food and when we finally did get it, it was cold and didn’t taste good at all. Part of our order was missing as well and when we asked about it, the server said “the chef said he can’t make it” ….it was potato hash, an item on their menu. A few minutes later, she brought us a side plate of cut up potatoes that were super greasy, cold, and tasted horrible. It was a really disappointing experience and we will not be going back.

Name is a nice nod to La Réunion - a utopian socialist community formed in Dallas in 1855. Nice space, nice service, nice coffee. Everything very nice, nothing to complain about, but nothing very distinctive or worth remarking on (hence 4 not 5 *). Only stopped for coffee, no cocktails or food, so take this as a coffee shop review not a restaurant review.

Love the coffee here. It's a bit on the pricey side, but it's worthwhile for the quality. It's usually crowded and on the louder side, so it's not optimal to work here. I've liked their mocha and various lattes.

Andrew T.

Yelp

5 stars because it's a great vibe, but $14 for a tequila and soda?? Everyone needs to pump the brakes with this across the board price gouging. It's getting ridiculous and we now know better that it's not inflation. Service industry distributors posted record breaking Q4 profits from last year, knock it off.

Love this half inside half outdoor coffee shop! This is my favorite in bishop arts- has so much greenery and cute aesthetic. Our barista was super helpful. We each got an oatmilk ice latte ($6) and you can substitute alternative milk and add flavored syrups for no extra cost. I really like this concept. Between the lavender and vanilla syrup- lavender was better. It's not artificial tasting at all. Great wfh spot with no WiFi time limit and plenty of outlets.

We went to this place for drinks and the Espresso Martini was DELICIOUS. On Friday and Saturday they have happy hour till 8pm which is perfect to get a drink and chill at this coffee shop/bar for a while and chat with friends. They have a nice patio with live music on the weekend at least. I think this place has really friendly service and is a very chill place to hangout with some friends on a weekend night.

Flys everywhere! You cannot sit and enjoy your meal here. At least 10 flies flying around me at this very moment. Very unpleasant.

Had the pleasure of visiting this place in Bishop Arts late night scene. We had a few things off the menu which was chicken pizza, cheese pizza and two different types of wings. All in all the food was good I would suggest they cook the wings a little more cause they was just too soft but not undercooked. Drinks were good it was cold so we started with an Irish coffee. I wouldn't definitely recommend and be back. The place is just the right size and they have outside tables. Service was decent it was super busy but they managed to get to us in a fashionable time.

Great place to grab a hot cup of coffee. Has indoor and outdoor seating. Inside is cozy and seasonally decorated.

Lily M.

Came here trying to find a place that still served food past 11pm. La Reunion serves food until midnight. Upon arrival we were greeted warmly. The ambience was chill and the staff friendly. We ordered some Cauliflower Crust Pizzas and a Spinach and Artichoke dip. The food was simply okay, the Chicken Carbonara Pizza was a bit bland and the bread served with the dip was too hard. Definitely not something I would want to rave about, but also not a place I would say I would not return to.

Update: 4/30/24 It's still a good place to get a coffee, great vibe and customer service however the restrooms dirtiness makes you question the cleanliness of the whole establishment. The restroom has been taken care of less and less every time I come. And as a cafe customer I do appreciate a clean restroom to do my business while I'm studying. That adds to the whole experience as well.

Nice spot, perfect for working and meeting!! My latte and sandwich were both delicious

Rebecca G.

Yelp

The best espresso martins in town! The French kiss is really good as well as the strawberry bs. But if you're not feeling alcoholic drinks, their coffee is also great. They have live music on the weekends and his voice always makes our night. Really chill and relaxing vibes with friends. On busy nights the staff tries their best so can we be nice and understanding?

Kelly S.

Yelp

Came in here this evening to study since Wayward was closed and im not mad at it. The evening vibe is way more chill than the busy weekend morning one and i like it. Super friendly workers, delish birria quesadilla and chai. Will def be back for more studying and quesadillas!!

Caroline N.

Yelp

Delicious latte (I added lavender and vanilla syrups free of charge per the menu) Amazing service, the menu was brought to our table Ample seating and outlets so although this place has a bar I'd still recommend it as a study spot! Free curbside parking out front, although it might be difficult to find a spot in Bishop Arts

I was eager to have brunch here on a Saturday morning, but the greeting I received was not welcoming. The two guys working seemed more concerned with their appearance than answering questions about the menu. We did not get welcomed and the one guy who came to the register seemed annoyed that I was asking questions. We sat down, and no one came in after us for al long time, but it took at least 10 minutes for them to make my coffee drink. We also ordered breakfast tacos, but the eggs were extremely runny like they put them in the taco before they were done. When we left, we walked past the two guys working and they did not say thank you for coming in. It just wasn't good experience.

The patio area is beautiful and quaint. The service was wonderful. Casual atmosphere. I had the French onion soup and salad. They are know for their coffees and teas. We were in a group of 7. We left happy and full.

Yelp

Solid solid choice, they have a lunch menu and a late night menu. We got there late night and ordered the cauliflower veggie pizza and Brussels sprouts.the service is nice and friendly and move quick. The ambiance is really nice and picturesque, it gets busy so be aware of a possible wait . Solid Dallas choice to check this place out

Anna C.

Yelp

I come here all the time with my pup and the bartenders/baristas are always so sweet and help me pick fun drinks. The food is delicious too, and since it's quieter during the day, i love coming in and getting work done for a change in scenery. Plus when I'm done I can grab a celebratory glass of wine!

Yelp

This place is one of my ideal remote work spaces down in Dallas. Not only is the area so eclectic and enjoyable to just be present in, La Reunion provides a welcoming atmosphere that lets you be comfortable and relaxed. I typically do a black coffee when I'm there in the AM but switch to a spritz focused beverage after 3 or 4. The espresso martini, as well as most of their menu, is full of flavor, liquor, and made with care. The staff is one of the main reasons I continue returning- they have always been so kind and helpful no matter how much is on their plate. Make a plan to stop by, whether for a quick drink or a day of productivity. La Reunion is worth it!

Rob A.

Yelp

This is decent morning spot with serviceable space to conduct meetings while enjoying a coffee and bite to eat. The food was good but not great and I felt the same way about their coffee. Good and solid but just not great. Looking over the reviews I had expected more from this establishment.

Melynda S.

Yelp

Loved this Bishop Arts spot! Plenty of seating options (inside and outside) that are conducive to getting work done. What I ordered: Hot vanilla matcha latte with oat milk ($5.50) - 4.5/5 Décor/aesthetic/vibe is on point and the staff was very nice. Would definitely recommend checking this spot out!

Dave G.

Yelp

This place is our favorite in a few categories. Quick stop for grab and go breakfast? Somewhere to sit down and enjoy a peaceful pour over or cortado? Boozey brunch? Cocktails or date night and live music? I know a lot of places who have tried to nail the transition from morning to evening vibes and La Reunion is the only one I've see nail it. They also make everything from scratch including their own syrups and infusions. What they don't make themselves they source from the best of tue best locally (bread, tortillas, etc). This is the perfect local spot.

Amazing vibes, delicious cocktails, and they will play bad bunny. Perfect for a chill hang with friends! If you're looking to get wasted, be ready to cash out though. A Tito's shot was $15!

Dan G.

This place is great. Love the coffee! Can't go wrong with a vanilla latte but my favorite thing to get is an Oatmilk Chai Latte with vanilla! So good!

Vines unreal. Best cocktail bar in Dallas. Drinks are amazing, ambience is amazing. Not too loud, super open and comfortable seating.

Meily A.

Really cool spot in the heart of bishop district. I didn't try any of their food items however I saw an egg sandwich pass by and it looked delicious. Coffee was good. I liked that they had both indoor and outdoor seating. I would definitely check this place out if you're in the area.

Bob L.

Good cocktails and we can't go by without getting espresso martinis. We go in with another couple and our little girls LOVE to see Nene whenever we're there

Catalina M.

Yelp

What a great spot in Bishop arts! This would be a 5 star if service wasn't slow and more attentive. The place is great! It has an inside and outside area that you just walk in and grab a seat. Luckily it's never been busy when I've been here. I was here for brunch with some friends and took my baby and had plenty of space with the stroller. Food and drinks were fantastic! Their Chai latter is one of the best I've had. I was so hungry that I forgot to take picture, so next time :-). We ordered the croque madam, avocado breakfast tacos and avo blt and all were soooo good. The staff was friendly but not super attentive. I hope it's a staffing issue

I cant think of anywhere in the area that does what La Reunion does and does it this well. Coffee? Amazing. Cocktails? To die for. GET THE ESPRESSO MARTINI YOU HEAR?! Staff? So sweet and kind! Vibes? All of them. Be sure to swing by on Tuesday for Jazz night or on the weekend for Lokie. Its the perfect volume for my 35 year old self.

Ben H.

Yelp

La Reunion was recommend by a hipster friend of mine and I absolutely loved it. The bishops art district is one of the coolest areas I visited in Dallas, and La Reunion reminded me of my favorite coffee shop in PHX, a relaxed , casual, trendy spot that serves coffee in the AM and drinks in the PM. I ordered a latte which I enjoyed. It was made with locally roasted beans. The food looked good as well. I would come back for brunch if I had the chance.

Madi C.

Yelp

The cafe itself was very cute but it is not very big with a ton of people. i went in and sat to do some studying and maybe enjoy a coffee with my significant other, but over the 30 minutes i was there, tell me why i was questioned if i wanted something over 6 times. the girl came to the table and asked what i wanted on the menu over and over, as i was still working and glancing over at the menu a few times (still deciding on what i wanted) i had no time to even think because of the haggling. as i was about to order a coffee, she comes over with the worst attitude and was so snarky ONCE AGAIN asking me if i wanted to order something. we ended up leaving if you could have guessed.

Melissa S.

Yelp

This is a beautiful venue, and very busy, however, I waited almost 10 minutes for someone to even acknowledge me before I got up and just went to the counter. The pictures of the beer menu online were deceiving also because they really only have three or four bottled beers, none of the craft ones in the pictures. I ended up leaving because I was frustrated between both issues. It's a cool venue though, I probably just caught them on an off day.

Alex A.

Yelp

Over the weekend, we stopped by La Reunion to have our coffee passport stamped. This coffee shop is really charming, with plants hanging from the ceiling. When you arrive, you can choose to sit inside or outside; however, because of the heat, we chose to sit inside. I ordered the Kyoto Cold Brew with Rose Gold Sweet Cream, which can be added to any café beverage. I thought the cold brew did an excellent job of balancing this drink because the cream is on the sweeter side. Next time, I'll probably stop by La Reunion for a cocktail.

Elizabeth G.

Yelp

Came to la reunion after morning yoga for an iced matcha latte. What I liked the most about this place aside from the friendly service and interior decor, is that it's conveniently located in the Bishop arts district near plenty of free parking. The matcha is not pre-sweetened which I absolutely LOVE. They have alternative milk options like almond and oat

Love this place!! I got a chai tea with lavender added and it was amazing! Person at the front was super kind and was a great place to sit with my laptop and get some work done. Definitely worth the visit

La Reunion was introduced to me this year and I have been in love ever since! It's my and my boyfriends favorite coffee shop in Dallas! The atmosphere is chill, the ambiance is relaxing, the staff is nice, and the coffee drinks are top notch!

Kevin G.

Had some drinks with classic buds from the SAGU school. We had a grand time reminiscing and the environment contributed to the exchange of pleasantries and in depth talk. We only wish TJ could have made it but he has kids. overall great spot with excellent drinks. the carajillo was also tried and was one of the best things i've tasted this side of the illinois river.

I enjoyed one of the best summer drinks I've ever tried from La Reunion's coffee bar a week ago! The barista, who was very sweet and creative, mixed me up a decaf americano that had lemonade, lavender syrup, and some carbonated water in it. It was tart with a sweet finish, and perfect for the warm afternoon. The atmosphere inside was laid back as it was late afternoon (I imagine it's probably busier in the evening), and the velvet seats sucked me in tempting me to stay longer than I intended to. I spent about an hour enjoying the classic old-school hip hop tunes while getting writing done and was, overall, so grateful that I got to have the mellow space at La Reunion to get work done. I can't wait to go back to check out their plant-peppered side patio and try another summer drink.

Meagan F.

Yelp

I'm never disappointed with my visits to La Reunion. Today I had a perfectly sweet oatmilk latte accompanied by warm interactions with the team and a playlist to swoon over. The music was just loud enough but not disruptive. I was grateful for a small table to myself since I know they stay busy - rightfully so. Thank you, La Reunion for the consistency.

Stacy M.

Yelp

Waited 24 minutes for a dry piece of bread with a few pieces of chicken on it. And spent $17... maybe it's bad because it's a Saturday but there wasn't a line out the door or anything. Not good.

Briona J.

Yelp

Decided to give this place a try because I needed to study somewhere other than home one afternoon. It was packed, but I was still able to get a seat inside, although the weather was nice enough for the patio area. Nice little vibe and helpful staff. The food and drinks are also really good. I'll be going back, but maybe a bit earlier.

Lauren R.

Yelp

Visited this place after a morning workout and it was cute and quaint. The kale salad and breakfast sandwich was solid. I wish the menu had a little more variety but overall very happy with my breakfast

Laura W.

Yelp

Had a fantastic light breakfast here with a masterfully crafted flat white and Jamon Burre sandwich. The baguette was toasted perfectly with generous amount of butter and the ham and cheese paired lovely with the Cornichons. Service was friendly and we felt welcome. Would love to come visit again next time we are in the area!

Sara F.

Yelp

This is a great coffee shop to pop into if you're in the Bishop Arts District! After walking around the District for a while, a friend and I popped in here and loved the eclectic vibe it had. In addition, all three of their menus (bar, kitchen, and coffee) have a lot of options to choose from. Both of the drinks that we got were very tasty, so I'll definitely be coming here again the next time I'm in the area! As a heads up, the inside itself is small with not that much seating, so be aware if you plan to come here to work or hand out if the weather's bad outside.

Christiane M.

Yelp

very cool space but went on a sunday morning so it was pretty quiet in there. think it could have been cooler later in the day but strawberry matcha, cinnamon roll, and breakfast taco were all very good

Melissa A.

Yelp

I finally got an opportunity to visit LA Reunion. The coffee was good and the customer service was great. It was a beautiful day so the doors were open to the patio! There is plenty of seating if you just want to have a quick drink and bite or stay to work. I can't wait to go back and try more.

Libby B.

Great drinks! I've had their coffee and cocktails and neither ever miss. Also a great place for live music!

Penny K.

I only discovered La Reunion this year even though I've been coming to the bishop arts district for several years. I had no idea they had the best Croque Monsieur I've ever had in Dallas! Bonus points that my favorite local artist plays here on weekends too. I've come here for midday coffee, lunch, and drinks. I recommend all three occasions! Reunion is one of my favorite spots to come to now in the bishop arts.

My daughter and I enjoyed a hot coffee/chocolate n a very cold and blustery day in Dallas.

Thomas was absolutely great! Gave me and my boyfriend great service! Ask for him! He made a great espresso martini and it had amazing flavor and had great convo, didn't usually come here before him

Lacey H.

AMAZING! Will definitely be back. The "Everything Nice" fall coffee special is fantastic! The breakfast burritos are SUPER tasty! Loved in Europe a good while, so I'm picky about coffee and food. This place does NOT disappoint!!!

Diana V.

Yelp

One of my new favorite places! The place is such a great vibe. You can study in the day and have cocktail hour at night! I got the Lemmon pepper wings omg delicious. The cheese board was also great! Both perfect for lil snacks. I got a daiquiri and it was SO SO GOOD. My friend got the coffee flavored cocktail and it was also delicious! I can't wait to continue to sample the drink menus and soon try the coffees! A gem in Bishop arts and Dallas!
