Craftwork Coffee Co.

The best thing about visiting a new coffee shop is learning about their story and working in tech, I appreciate how Craft work began as a co-working space/coffee shop. With that being said, this is a great place to get work done. Plenty of plugs and seating that's spaced out enough to feel comfortable. Plus, people are pretty respectful of their noise level so it never get too disturbing. I ended up trying their maple spice latte (oat milk) based on a recommendation from their barista and I was very happy with the result! Their baristas were really cool, very informative, and offered great service. Definitely somewhere I would recommend to anyone looking to get some work done and grab a good latte.

Good signage makes it easy to find. On-street or a nearby parking lot make it easy to park your car when you visit Craftwork. Besides, if you live nearby it is a lovely stroll or fun bike ride to come on down. The bright, high ceiling interior and buttermilk white walls are anchored by medium dark, rich wood-toned seating and accents. You might feel a strange cross-vibe of urban yuppie, smart hipster and casual friendliness when you enter the door. Whatevs. Just listen to any special offerings and try not to go with your usual, unless you simply must. They've got lattés and cappuccinos and all that, but they also have fun specialty drinks. And! If you need a specific creation they can usually concoct it for you. Food items are limited to small baked goods and such, but they are the good stuff. Moms with kids, couples, friends, neighbors and others gather here. You should too! The La Abuelita coffee is especially delightful with spice and chocolate. Come on down!

My first time at Craftwork Magnolia was an enjoyable experience. I don’t make it into Ft. Worth proper or its neighborhoods very often but I was in the area and wanted to check the place out. The shop is small but cozy. I get the impression it gets a lot of foot traffic taking drinks to go. I was greeted warmly by one of the two baristas (I’ll try and get his name later) and told them I was new. We talked briefly about drinks and I settled on their featured pour over, a Peruvian I believe. Craftwork has a simple menu and a single size for all drinks. This is cool as sometimes shop menus can be overwhelming with choices. Having good simple basics is refreshing. I started to sit at their community table but changed to the bar as I kind if like watching how different shops work. A little bit after getting my pour over I talked to Kelsey (I remembered to ask) the other barista on duty. I asked her about the room next door and she told it was a workspace they have for rent to “members”. She offered me a tour and showed me around. You can check out the website but the gist is they provide this area to promote community in the area. I can accommodate individuals and teams and has access to printers/faxes/mailboxes and other such things. While its not something that I would require, I thought it was a very cool idea. Definitely a useful kind of thing. The business was steady but not crowded (I was there midmorning). It seemed like several regulars came in and the baristas knew many by name. The decor is modern but still, as I said, cozy. White but with some warm wood tones. Shop and bathrooms were clean. The baristas were very attentive and friendly. I was there for a couple hours. I wish I had some more opportunities to visit as I’m not in the area often, but I should be able to make a few more stops. I recommend you stop by if you get the chance; especially if you live or work in the area.

This coffee is very exquisite, not to mention the decor and atmosphere. I ordered my usual latte and it was very delicious. This can be without a doubt the best coffee around.

Love this coffee! My favorite specialty / third wave coffee shop in Ft. Worth area! The espresso is always dialed in with complex flavors and notes making it stand out from the rest. The staff is friendly and attentive. The place is well decorated and designed. It’s esthetically pleasing. However, it is usually busy and at times difficult to find seating. Nevertheless, its always worth coming here!
