The Sentinel Marfa
209 W El Paso St, Marfa, TX
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Marfa's minimalist landscape, The Sentinel is a desert chic sanctuary where thoughtfully crafted espresso drinks—particularly their beloved Spanish latte—meet an unexpectedly robust breakfast menu that rivals the coffee itself. With its spacious, uniquely decorated interior and outdoor seating, it's become an essential gathering spot for both locals and travelers who are relieved to find a place actually open for morning and midday meals throughout the week. Reviewers consistently praise the quality of execution here, whether you're ordering a meticulously pulled shot or settling in with a pastry and your laptop for hours.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Uniquely decorated and designed spacious place! Decent breakfast! Wonderful surprise!
Aesthetically, it embodies desert chic at its best. As one of the few places (if not only) that are open for breakfast and lunch Monday through Wednesday in Marfa – it gets the job done. The beverages are excellent. The breakfast is ok. It’s a beautiful place to linger, work…
