Start your day walking to one of Dallas’s best coffee shops, Merit Coffee Co., or Mokah Coffee & Tea most notably; but if you want a local suggestion, give Fiction Coffee a try. Log on to the free Wifi and stay a while if you want to get out of the house to “work from home.”
Along your walk, you’ve gotten a look at some dope murals by local artists. This is part of the Deep Ellum edge that we love. If you like a true concrete jungle without the prim and proper of Uptown, this may be your spot.

Deep Ellum showcases some of the most unique spaces in Dallas. Developers have stayed true to the culture of the neighborhood, and even the modern apartments feature an edgy color scheme to differentiate from the typical, cookie-cutter apartments you see in other neighborhoods.
