Murray Street Coffee Shop: Dallas, TX
Michael Popovici (Forums member name: tricky ) requested that Murray Street Coffee Shop be added to our list of Retailers. I had a poke around their website a bit and discovered some things about them.
They are located in the Deep Ellum area of Dallas. This leaves them with much opportunity to host music acts such as Calexico, who have performed there before.
The space is out of this world. They advertise a “Scandinavia meets Mid-Century Modern interior”, and I’d say they deliver pretty well.

I was a little disappointed to discover that they are pulling shots of Illy espresso. Don’t get me wrong, the Illy family has done massive amounts of work and have taught us much about the science of our beloved coffee. However, I hesitate to consider that coffee roasted more than 2 weeks ago, much less months ago, to be of a quality I would personally be comfortable serving. Then again, they do have a lot of fans as one of, if not the largest coffee company on the globe.
It seems worth visiting just to see the space or to catch a live music performance.

Hi. I’m the owner, along with my wife. Thanks for reaching out to us. The indie coffee shop in Dallas is indeed a rare animal.
I should offer one small correction, and that is that although the members of Calexico are indeed personal friends of ours, they have not played at the coffee shop. At least not other than on our music server! The place has room for only a single musician with instrument (although we did squeeze a cellist in to accompany a singer pianist once). Love the idea, though!
