Part photography project, part Seattle girl looking for good coffee, I decided that I was no longer satisfied with the overly roasty flavors of Starbucks, or the watered down beverages at java city. I listened to the buss around campus and heard more than one person talking about The Crooked Tree. 
The Crooked Tree is in Uptown, right off of McKinney on Routh. Right in the middle of a residential street, this house-gone-coffee shop blends right into the quaint Uptown neighborhood. When I walked in the place was full of funky artwork, students on their MacBooks, and eclectic antique furniture. I walked up to the barista and asked what their signature drink was. She told me about their Dolce Inverno, which was vanilla soymilk steeped in earl grey tea and then steamed with a couple pumps of vanilla syrup. Sure, it wasn't coffee but it sounded good. 
I walked around and took pictures while the barista made my drink. I recognized a few people from SMU there, so maybe its not the best place to hide out to do homework. Overall, the atmosphere was comfortable, the prices were fair, and my drink was delicious, I will definitely be going back.
