The Bean of Mesilla
2011 Avenida De Mesilla, Las Cruces, NM
Crema's Take
“Tucked into central Las Cruces, The Bean of Mesilla is a genuinely beloved gathering spot that earns its reputation through thoughtful espresso, excellent pastries, and a distinctly warm, queer-friendly atmosphere complete with eye-catching murals and local merch. Whether you're settling in for a slow morning with matcha or matcha lattes, catching up with friends over traditional coffee drinks, or fueling up with their standout breakfast items (reviewers rave about the toast and yogurt bowls), the kind and attentive staff make everyone feel welcomed. It's the kind of place that turns accidental discoveries into permanent road-trip stops and quiet corners perfect for writing thank-you notes.”

Beautiful space, kind and helpful staff, queer friendly space. I got a green tea which was standard quality and wrotesome thank you notes in a quiet corner. Enjoyed the ambiance, merch, murals and stained glass windows. They have cards from a local artist available (bring cash for these). Patio looks nice but it was too cold to try it out. Definitely worth a visit.
It was pure chance I ended up here. My regular coffee shop wasn't open when I stopped by and this was en route to my destination so I decided to give it a try. I was just planning on a plain latte, my usual order, but I saw the gluten-free scones and decided to indulge in the honey lavender option. I was not disappointed! The latte and the scone were both on point. I can literally see the flowers in the scone! While waiting I noticed they had lavender options for drinks as well. I did not try those, but if you love lavender, check it out. There's a lot of art (I'm assuming local) hanging on the walls, which I understand is for sale. They also had some really nice looking locally made soap available. The stained glass windows really stood out to me. I don't go out for coffee much, but I'll be adding the Bean to my list of favorites. The coffee was undeniably great but the gluten-free pastries are what really elevates this place beyond some other, also great, coffee shops.
This cafe is the CUTEST! we were passing through on a road trip from ATX to CA and finding this place was like finding gold. This will forever be one of our permanent stops when passing through Las Cruces. The coffee was great, the vibe was amazing and it’s just what we needed ♥️
Darling little coffee shop in central Las Cruces, NM. Excellent tasting coffee and tea and a nice selection of breakfast foods to get the day started. Friendly staff, chill vibes, nice place. Highly recommended.
Spent ten weeks on the road throughout the southwest and this is probably my favorite coffee shop from the whole trip. Their toast is delicious, the yogurt and granola is a bounty, and the oatchata latte is fantastic. Can't recommend this place enough.
