Badger Central Bookstore & Cafe
College Union Building, Amarillo, TX
Crema's Take
“Badger Central pairs a beloved indie bookstore with a casual cafe where the staff genuinely engages with regulars and newcomers alike, making it feel like a natural gathering spot rather than a transactional stop. Their homemade pastries and cookies are worth the visit on their own, and while their coffee leans toward approachable traditional drinks like caramel lattes, the real draw is settling in with a book and feeling welcomed by a community-minded team.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Badger Center Bookstore and Cafe offers a top-notch customer service experience. 😃 This was my first visit. I enjoyed my ice carmel latte. The staff was friendly and conversational. There's plenty of seating and light. It's a pleasant environment. Plus, there's merch.
The cashier was very nice and helpful. She answered my question in a very professional manner. The lady who helped me find my textbooks was also nice. We had a good chat; and I was very pleased with her professionalism as well.
