Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters

Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters is a Dallas-based roastery founded by Shannon and Jenni Neffendorf, operating out of 819 W Davis Street in the Oak Cliff neighborhood. The company grew directly out of the Neffendorfs' frustration with what they saw as a near-total absence of quality coffee in Dallas — a gap they decided to close themselves rather than wait for someone else to fill it.

From that initial impulse, the roastery scaled steadily into one of the more visible wholesale operations in the Dallas–Fort Worth market. By 2016, D Magazine documented Shannon supplying more than 70 wholesale clients across the metro area — a footprint that placed Oak Cliff among the region's larger independent roasters. The company also built out a branded ecosystem under the "CliffMade" label, extending beyond coffee into pantry goods including chocolate, bread, and bakery items available at a dedicated pickup location.

Oak Cliff's sourcing page references direct farm relationships, though the company's public-facing identity leans heavily on the retail and subscription experience rather than origin storytelling. Their current model centers on a flavor-preference quiz that funnels customers toward a personalized subscription — an acknowledgment that accessibility and consistency matter as much as provenance. They also offer wholesale training and supply services, positioning themselves as a full-service roasting partner for cafes around DFW.
