Podium Finish Coffee & Bikes

1400 Texas Ave, El Paso, TX

★★★★★4.8(700 Google reviews)

Crema's Take

Podium Finish is a refreshingly welcoming spot where El Paso's cycling community and coffee lovers converge, creating an unpretentious atmosphere that feels genuinely warm whether you're closing a business deal or grabbing lunch with friends. The kitchen shows real care with standouts like their ground carnitas sandwich and creative comfort dishes, though consistency can occasionally slip. With a stellar 4.8-star rating from 700 reviews, this independent shop has earned its reputation as a place where attentive staff and a genuine community vibe matter just as much as the coffee.

My girlfriend and I were so excited to try this new place. 10/10 would recommend. Staff was friendly and very attentive given that she was working on multiple tables at once. Our food came out fast and efficiently. I made a couple of changes to my order as well and was accommodated with a smile 🫶🏻

Long overdue visit. I had heard mixed opinions about this place, some people said the service wasn’t great, others said the food was amazing, and some said it was just okay. I finally decided to go and try it myself, and I’m glad I did. I loved it. The food was great, savory and on point. I had the Greek salad with chicken breast and it was cooked perfectly. My crew loved their dishes too. Service was also great. Our server was a young girl but she was very kind and attentive, always checking on us and making sure everything was good. Sometimes you just have to give places the opportunity and see for yourself, especially with local businesses. They really need our support right now. Also, the place is very Instagrammable. Definitely coming back.

This was our first time in this restaurant. We were meeting clients here and it felt so warm. Immediately our server was very accommodating and helpful. They allowed us to set up in a “conference” room that was so adorable. They have 3 meeting spaces that accommodate different size parties. The coffee was amazing. Spiced abuelitas plus espresso was delightful! Everything was so good. Full plates. Full belly. Definitely going back.

The sopa de fideo nuddles were slightly burnt over cooked and lack flavor. Where was the conzume flavor. Other than that. Great sandwiches. Try the ground carnitas sandwich. Tasty loaded grilled cheese. Good tuna salad. Good coffee. MUST HAVE DESSERTS.

I met a friend here for lunch, and it was my first time at this establishment. When I arrived, I wasn’t quite sure which door to go in because it wasn’t labeled. I am so glad I went around the wrong side and I actually went in through the bike shop. I was really happy I did that because there is a gentleman who has a photography display of a bunch of artists! It was a great opportunity to take in some great works of art. And they’re all for sale too! The lady who was there when I came in was incredibly helpful and let me know which door I could enter the restaurant through. The restaurant itself is adorable. It has a great atmosphere, I love all the windows, and the decor is really nice. This is an amazing place to meet someone and be able to carry on a conversation. Unfortunately, I didn’t care for my lunch plate. I ordered the podium burger, and I was disappointed because the burger is a patty you could buy at any frozen food section. I think they would have a home run if they would make their own patties. The best part of the plate was this jalapeño cream sauce that was absolutely delicious. My friend had a turkey wrap and it looked great. She would definitely order it again. I think I would’ve been happier with the breakfast menu and I am willing to try it again for that reason. I think I would’ve loved to see a taco plate on the lunch menu since they have a breakfast taco plate. Or even an enchilada plate or the chilaquiles. Especially since they’ve had so many positive reviews on their chilaquiles! I think having that option on their lunch menu would be amazing! But if you’re looking for a new place to try, give The Podium a shot! When I do try it for breakfast, I am definitely going to give their ☕️ a try because they sound so enticing!
