Crema's Take

“Elevation Coffee has earned devoted regulars in Taos with its espresso-focused drinks and welcoming atmosphere, though the experience can be inconsistent depending on who's behind the counter that day. The shop shines when staffed by experienced baristas like Mary, who create genuinely balanced specialty lattes with thoughtful flavor integration rather than syrup-forward sweetness, and it's clearly a beloved community gathering spot for locals seeking quality coffee in a relaxed setting. Just be aware that service quality varies, and this is definitely a place where the personal touch from the right barista can make all the difference.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

When I was stationed up in Tres Piedras May-August 2021 for Forest Service, this was my absolute favorite haunt in town. My main barista was named Mary and we became fast friends because she was so personable, helpful, hilarious, always eager to serve, and wonderful to just talk…

Amazing coffee. I can see why they won #1 for Taos’s best! Full bodied flavor coffee. Ordered a hazelnut latte and a pumpkin spice latte. Both were perfect with notes of flavor, not an overwhelming sweet coffee like the other places. Top 5 coffees all time for me, and I’ve tried…
