First time in & I was very impressed with the menu. It was hard to decide but went with my go-to Dirty Chai-Did not disappoint! So delicious! The employees all had masks on & there was Plexiglas separating customers from workers. I appreciated that. We sat on the patio because it was a beautiful day but the inside looked really cool. Will definitely be back

Great coffee!! Probably one of the best lattes I’ve had in a long while. Definitely way better than Starbucks. You can taste the time and craft that went into making each drink. Prices are about the same as Starbucks but I rather support local craft shops and hope you do the same!

Excellent coffee, friendly staff, clean shop. It’s on the smaller side (not a couch filled coffee shop, if that’s what you’re looking for) but they’ve got lots of bar stools seating at the window, with great light. They have a great deck for extra seating, too. Highly recommend! I will definitely be a returning customer.

This place was very nice on the outside and inside. The outside had a black and white theme while the inside had like pink and black inside. The atmosphere inside was very calming a perfect place to hangout with friends or to chill alone. The place doesnt have very bright lighting or much natural light inside so its hard to study inside. The drink I got was the snickerdoodle latte. It was very sweet I wish it was a little less sweet I couldnt really taste much of the cinnamon. The staff was really nice. This place was very nice and cozy I would come again!!

If you’re into unique and classy coffee, Ampersand is the place to go. There is a great variety of drinks to choose from. My favorite drink is Black Honey. It’s a latte flavored with activated charcoal and honey. The staff are always very friendly and helpful. And, the cafe has indoor and outdoor seating, which is very nice!

Very big on the inside, kinda dark in the back of the shop. Coffee options are good, i got the cold brew with oat milk, it was very good but bitter yet I like bitter coffee

Delicious latte and beautiful space. I enjoyed a business meeting here the other morning and it was nice and quiet. Plus the bar area was open and we had plenty of space to spread out and chat. I will be coming back! Especially since there were several dogs inside and it seems to be a dog friendly establishment. How cool!

Wow. What a cool spot. Have been wanting to come for a few months and we were excited to see they were finally open! They have an incredible layout and setup. The folks are super friendly and they use some high quality ingredients, and roast their own beans to boot. At night it turns into a dance club and bar. It’s too cool. The setting is cozy and the music is quality.

My husband and I love looking up new, innovative places to grab some espresso. Its our first morning here in Fort Worth and the baristas here made it a good one. Personable, knowledgeable, and definitely patient while I browsed their unique selections of espresso mixtures. Ultimately I went with a hazelnut mocha with Turmeric. Yes, thats right. Turmeric. I never would have thought to add that to a drink but man, oh man, is it delicious!

Was looking for the perfect Irish coffee to warm our spirits on a cold January day in Fort Worth. Visited the Ampersand on Bledsoe and ordered the Caskmates Campfire and the Cup of the Irish. The dusting of cinnamon perfected the Cup of the Irish ... both selections were amazing!

I came in today for an iced, no ice lavender vanilla oat milk latte and it was so delicious. I love Ampersand!!! You guys always provide tasty drinks and friendly service. I live in Dallas and when visiting family in FTW one of the highlights is popping in for my favorite drink. Nobody makes my drink as tasty as y’all. Thanks Ampersand for your commitment to high quality service and products!!! I really appreciate you

Ampersand is my new favorite coffee house -- its small when the patio is closed due to weather, but they make awesome drinks and its pretty nice when the weather cooperates :-) Coffee and all sorts of creative caffeinated drinks abound, and are all very well crafted. The boozy drinks are also quite creative if you like mixing your vices! Parking in the rear is actually hidden enough that its never been full for me.

Finally made it to the West 7th area location. I was shocked at how small the coffee area is and wish it were much larger. The area felt very crammed and when a line formed there was little space. Even the employees seemed a bit tight. The back room is very dark and includes a large bar. In the evening it turns into a club and it most definitely shows. The tables and chairs are extremely worn as a result and I personally would not want to return to that. College students may like this atmosphere but it is not for me.As for the coffee I chose the snickerdoodle latte. The first few sips were delicious but the sweeetness soon took over and it was overly sweet and I could only drink half. My husband had a honey latte with half sweetness and it was overLy sweet for him. They use Nature nates honey which is good, however, I it would be nice to see a loccal honey being used.They have a ssecond location that seems to be focused as a coffee shop and not a night club which may be more enjoyable.

Review №38

This place is so cute.Cafe in the front, bar in the back, photozones in almost every angleThey have a lot of interesting latte options which makes you want to come back to try them all. The hazelnut turmeric latte was good. It definitely had the golden haze of a turmeric beverage. Ive only had golden milk as a turmeric drink so referenced to that i didnt really taste the turmeric..or hazelnut. The drink still tasted satisfying and different from other lattes ive had around town.The mango smoothie was the unassuming star. It tastes like they blended up an entire frozen mango and nothing else. It was fresh tasting and not too sweet while still being a smoothie. The peach one was sold out at the time so that may be good too.The croissant: so buttery, so good. The turkey: really good. Overall it consisted of simple but great ingredients which made a naturally satisfying sandwich sort of like the simple baguette sandwiches sold at mom and pop bakeries in paris.The restrooms are cute. They would be even cooler if the locks would work easier. Seating in the front is scarce but the back bar area is available during the day for extra seating. There is an unpaved parking lot behind the building that is free.

I tried this place out on a Sunday afternoon. I ordered a doppio cortado, which was the perfect balance of smooth-coffee-bold-goodness. I like the location and environment of this cute coffee shop, I especially appreciate the patio that boasted a fresh lumber scent from the bench & bar.The volume of the music created an atmosphere that was less then hospitable to a productive studying session. Keep that in mind if youre looking for your new favorite study spot and have troubles focusing with loud music going on in the background like me.Cheers ️

This is about my favorite little coffee shop. Each of the baristas are so personable and treat customers as friends. Each drink I have had there has been made to perfection, usually tweaked just to my particular tastes. Often they offer fabulous suggestions as they have gotten to know my likes. Its a great place with nice atmosphere to hang out alone or with friends. The background music is the perfect volume, not too loud.

I love the atmosphere of this place! Their knowledge of coffee is amazing. My favorite drink would have to be the RFME. It literally is the reason for my existence. The only problem is the parking but that’s just a sad fact of this area of town. You definitely need to check it out though!

This coffee house definitely impressed me. The barista was super nice from the get go, and it was just a super chill spot. Their vanilla iced coffee is one of the best tasting coffees ive had in a while. It was just the right amount of flavor and i low key regret not getting a muffin to pair it with. Will definitely be coming back!

They took a risk to try something different and it has come to fruition in a place that is not only a good idea but also does everything extremely well. Depending on the time and weather, your experience at Ampersand can be completely different, from hanging out with dogs and a group of friends on the patio, having a great cup of coffee and intimate conversation with a friend indoors, or venturing through the geometrically mysterious wooden doors to have an awesome time after hours. I recommend going back multiple times to experience all the different facets contained in Ampersand that make it a truly unique space!

What a gem of a place, I enjoyed my iced coffee but Im excited to come back in the winter to try something more traditional, its a tiny space but manages to still be a nice spot for a quick study session or for a good book.

Cute coffee shop next to The Modern Art Musuem FW! The two workers were SUPER friendly & helpful with the menu. The shop was pretty small though, could probably only seat less than 10 people. Iced Matcha Latte: Really yummy & has a good matcha flavor! I appreciate that it wasnt too sweet.

The bar and the idea of the establishment is amazing, Having a place to get coffee in the morning and drink at night is top notch. The people who own this place are the most down to earth, most humble people you will ever meet. the entire team working in this building are beyond reproach in terms of customer service and satisfaction. The coffee is amazing and Mickey makes the best Hazelnut breve ever.

By far my favorite coffee shop in Fort Worth. The menu is excellent top to bottom, you can’t go wrong. I recommend the Vietnamese Iced Coffee or a Cortado for sure. Everybody is super friendly and it’s a cool place to hang out. Get your coffee in the morning (or morning, afternoon and night if you’re like me) then after 10pm head back to the speakeasy style night club for a good time.

Review №90

Modern European Little Cafe.This Cafe reminds me of those great Cafes in Copenhagen, Amsterdam or boutique Cafe in Seattle. Most definitely they pour one of the best coffees in Fort Worth. I concur with someone else’s comment that this place offers a different experience depending on the weather (in/outdoors seating) and time of the day. I think the outdoor patio is going to be too hot for our Summers and the small indoor space won’t be enough. Good luck Ampersand!

Review №91

HOLY FLIES! Place is super cuter and hip. My only complaint and it’s a major one is the fly problem on the patio. Not sure if it’s a normal thing, but it was horrible when I went. Had a hard time enjoying my time due to it

Review №92

After patiently waiting for months, its finally open! Super clean with a nice atmosphere and a couple of high tops and outdoor booths for seating. I ordered a chai latte and it was tasty (and Im a bit of a coffee snob)! New and innovative, its a coffee shop by day and a bar/club at night. Love the concept and will be back to check out the nightlife.

Review №93

Let me tell you what makes this place great. #1 Consistency. I usually order sweet espresso drinks, and my biggest problem at other coffee places is that they taste very different depending on who makes it. Ampersand is amazingly consistent. The drinks taste the same no matter who makes it. #2 Quality. I love the espresso here. It is so smooth. #3 Fun menu. I love places that offer a selection of syrup flavors and fun drinks. They have some great permanent menu items as well as interesting seasonal drinks. #4 GREAT staff. The baristas here are so friendly. They get to know the regulars and are eager to help newcomers find their perfect drink.Drink recommendations: RFME (iced hazelnut breve latte, I always recommend this for first-timers), Vietnamese iced coffee (my favorite, very sweet and very strong, made with condensed milk) rose or honey latte + extra shot (just a great latte, it is just a touch too milky for my taste without the extra shot, and the rose syrup gives it a super interesting flavor).

Review №94

Its one thing to visualize a unique concept, and a whole other matter entirely to successfully execute it. This place is geniusly creative and you can tell by its craftsmanship that the proprietors put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into pulling this off. The staff was top-notch and the venue is beautiful. I will be returning. Thank you for such an amazing time!

I went there with friends to celebrate her masters degree. Some guy was trying to fight my husband for no reason because the guy bumped into my husband. I’m trying to hold the guy back so no one will fight and we can get back to celebrating. And the guy muffs my face. My husband and I get kicked out and the guy is still in the club. One of our friends had to point the guy out because security wasn’t really looking for the guy. So now I’m mad that I got assaulted in a place, the security people didn’t care and I was ready to press charges. Every time I go to Fort Worth there is a race issue. In general, the place is too crowded. People will try to fight you if they bump into you. Terrible service all around. I will be contacting the owners and will be suing. No women should be assaulted and let them get away with it like it’s nothing. They have terrible values.
