Desert Moon Emporium
4400 N Mesa St, El Paso, TX
Crema's Take
“Tucked away in El Paso, this in-house roastery and gallery space is run by genuinely passionate coffee experts who'll ask about your brewing method before grinding your beans—whether you're pulling espresso shots or pouring over a Chemex. Beyond the meticulously sourced single-origins and traditional specialty drinks, you'll find a cozy, artful refuge filled with local paintings, candles, and handmade goods, making it as much a gathering spot for the community as it is a destination for serious coffee lovers.”

I cannot say enough good things about this place or the owners. I absolutely love their coffee made in house and often buy bags of coffee beans they roast themselves. The owners are extremely kind and pleasant to talk with also.
One of the prettiest and coziest coffee stops in El Paso. There was a lot of local artistry being sold across the store, such as paintings, candles, and crochet items. The coffee and danish was amazing and they explained in detail the espresso taste/ flavors and made an amazing cappuccino with oat milk. The danish was a spinach flavor, and it came with some fruit and they warmed it up. The owners were so nice and were lovely to talk to. I highly recommend this place for a cute local shop and for coffee/snacks!!
Great atmosphere, and wonderful coffee! The owners truly are coffee experts, with delicious coffees that are roasted in-house (I tried the Colombian and the El Salvador coffees, though they offer different brews every day!) and they love to share their knowledge of the craft with any who ask. The owners themselves were wonderful and sweet people who were a treat to get to talk to, I am so glad that we decided to get our morning caffeine fix here today.
Actual hidden gem! This place is one of only a small handful of shops for people who love specialty coffee in El Paso. They have Chemexes, burr grinders, and a variety of beans available for purchase roasted on-site. It’s family owned and they partner with local artisans to sell a variety of hand-made gifts and art. If you want to start making your own coffee or you just wanna try something new then I earnestly recommend paying this place a visit
The owners are very knowledgeable and welcoming. I really appreciate being asked what method I'm brewing coffee at home before my coffee beans were ground. I felt special and well taken care of. I'm happy that I can enjoy good coffee ☕️ any day of the week, and I don't have to wait to visit them at the Ardovino's Farmers Market on Saturdays.
