Your East Dallas Coffeehouse
East Dallas Middle Ground isn’t just a coffee shop. We’re a celebration of the neighborhoods, people, and personality of East Dallas.
From our quirky patio, to the vintage 1948 coffee shop sign, to the murals, and use of only local vendors, our guests know they can always find a great drink and a big dose of community within our walls.
We love to meet our neighbors, hear your stories, cheer you on, and share what makes East Dallas so special.
Make Yourself Comfortable
Our space is huge! Alongside our custom bar, you’ll find plenty of seating (and outlets) to relax or work. Get cozy on one of our couches or take advantage of our kid-friendly room while you catch up with a friend. Looking for a space of your own? Book one of our private work rooms for conference calls, team meetings, tutoring sessions, or group project meetups.
After closing, we will have community workshops led by local artisans and experts. Keep an eye out on our social media for offerings!
Have an upcoming event? Our space is available for local groups and organizations to rent—or if you’d like East Dallas Middle Ground to come to you, you can hire our mobile coffee cart to cater. Contact us for more information.
Our Coffee
We are working exclusively with Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters located in the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas. After meeting with several roasters, it became abundantly clear that the knowledge, care, and trust that comes alongside working with the OCCR team was exactly what we were looking for. As long time leaders in Dallas coffee, OCCR has been vital in the development of EDMG. Not to mention, their coffee is delicious!

Tiffani Kocsis, Owner
I grew up in coffee shops (my first love was Bean Town in Sierra Madre, California) hanging out with friends, getting graduate work done, or just getting away from the chaos of little ones. I love the culture of true community that arises when you find your place and it’s always been a dream to open my own.
In a lot of ways, the reasons I love coffeeshops are the same reasons I love East Dallas. I moved to the area in 2009 from out of state and it quickly became the only place in Dallas that felt like home—and it has been at the center of my life since.
When you walk in the shop, you’ll see a custom canvas detailing my East Dallas. From first houses (and babies) in Little Forest Hills, many sunny days spent walking the lake, shopping at Rooster Hardware for chickens, grabbing a root beer at the Dairy-ette, and now living in Lake Highlands... what’s great about East Dallas is that everyone has their own map, stories, and histories. I can’t wait to hear yours.
