Gold Stripe - Cactus Alley

Best coffee in Lubbock!!! I hard a cortado and the flavor and creaminess was perfect. The two baristas were friendly and highly skilled. Very cool eclectic, retro vibes that make you feel welcome. Can’t wait to go back.

Some places have bad coffee and great staff. Some great coffee and bad staff. They have both. Staff was very inviting, gave some suggestions; and interacted. Told them we were from out of town here for our daughter’s surgery. They paid for my drink and then very politely said, “Even if you’re not religious, we’re praying for you.” I was very touched. Oh, and the coffee was phenomenal from the Ethiopia pourover to the honey vanilla latte with housemade syrups. I’m a coffee roaster myself; and they have some great coffees here.

Most of the food is prepackaged and heated up. But the coffee, vibe and staff are AMAZING!! Such sweet gals. The vibe is very chill, lots of chit chat but I still managed to get a couple hours of work done. I would deff recommend you making a trip here. I had a Lechera Latte with oat milk (picture) , sooooo good !

They completely get my traditional espresso macchiatio at both locations. Today I got a ham quiche as well. The Cactus Alley scenery adds to the experience.

Vibes in the coffee shop are pleasant and peaceful, relaxing. service from our male cashier was friendly and recommendations were on point. i got the lechera and it was extremely flavorful. my wife got the drip coffee and oatmilk and she said its better than any coffee shop in town.
