Rael's Store & Coffee Shop
PO Box 612, Taos, NM
Crema's Take
“Tucked between Red River and Taos, Rael's pairs stellar espresso drinks with a genuinely cozy, vintage-filled space that feels like settling into a beloved grandmother's living room. The owner's warmth and the shop's commitment to featuring local artists and handmade goods transform it from a simple coffee stop into a gathering spot where both travelers and regulars linger over thoughtfully crafted lattes and cold brew.

What to expect
Espresso-focused, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings.
