I'm back to update my review after four years. During the pandemic, I wasn't a paying customer--but…read moreI'll never forget that KOKO's fed me every week while I was working at the hospital. In fact, they fed everyone there. It was an act of generosity I promised to repay when things reopened. Since then, I've been back many times--and I've loved everything I've tried. The food and drinks are consistently excellent. Yes, it can be a little pricey, but it's absolutely worth it for the quality and care they put into every order. I wholeheartedly recommend KOKO's. It's more than just a deli--it's a place with heart. Below is a photo of the meals they would provide during the pandemic.

I ordered a gluten-free chocolate chip cream scone that was delicious... and the star of the show (and my new favorite espresso drink) was the Borgia - an espresso with almond milk (this was my substitution) , dark chocolate, and orange zest!

That's what my green smoothie tastes like. He had to wait nearly 30 minutes to get this disgusting drink and watch the owner just sitting at a table instead of trying to expedite orders and helping customers. I too notice this each time I went. I personally stopped going there because the service takes way too long and I don't have an hour to wait around for a sandwich. It's too bad because this place could be so great and we need something like this in Taos, but my prediction is they won't make it without a landline or staff that care.

Hidden Gem Alert | Taos, New Mexico…read more Some coffee shops announce themselves. Others let the coffee do the talking. Tucked away in Taos is one of the most unassuming coffee shops you'll ever find. From the outside, you might drive right past it. Step inside, though, and you'll immediately understand why there's always a line out the door. My daughter and I each ordered iced lattes. She went with vanilla and oat milk, while I stuck with my go-to combination of oat milk and honey. Both drinks were outstanding. Smooth, balanced, and packed with flavor without being overly sweet. I've had coffee all over the United States and in several countries around the world, and these lattes easily rank among my favorites. The coffee impressed us so much that we couldn't leave without grabbing a bag of their light roast to take home. What stood out just as much as the coffee was the atmosphere. The staff was incredibly welcoming, the service was excellent, and despite the constant flow of customers, everyone was smiling. Yes, you'll probably wait in line--but trust me, it's worth every minute. One funny moment from our visit: I had just found an open table when a gentleman told me, "I was saving that one." I laughed, told him to go right ahead...and then watched him walk over and sit at a completely different table. It gave my daughter and me a good laugh and made for one of those random travel memories you don't forget. Final Verdict: If you're visiting Taos and consider yourself a coffee lover, this place belongs at the very top of your list. Fantastic coffee. Friendly people. A welcoming atmosphere. And a line that tells you everything you need to know before you even take your first sip. Sometimes the best coffee shops aren't the flashy ones--they're the ones that quietly become unforgettable.

(Coming from someone who's reviewed 57 coffee shops in 5+ states) We're calling it a Top 5 best cup of coffee. Last morning in town, and we wanted to try another spot, grateful (as always) to the yelp reviews that brought us here. Ordered the usual: decaf flat white with heavy cream. Appreciated that the staff spent a moment asking clarifying questions to ensure we were speaking the same coffee language. Waiting for our drinks, we peruse the shop- plenty to keep your eye busy and LOTS of personality to let you know THIS is the kind of place you want to your hard earned dollars to support. First sips of our drinks and it's robust and coffee forward. We LOVE when the coffee is strong enough to stand up to the heavy cream. I could tell within to sips that this would be the place I'll drop into, grab a flat white, and then head over to the library for a good quiet morning. The shop is just on the edge of the downtown plaza, minimal parking but more than enough space to grab your Joe and go. 5 stars, all the way!

The barista was kind and was very descriptive when I asked if hemp milk would be nice in my matcha. It is a bit of a smaller place with just a little bar and a bench for sitting out side, it is was nice and cool inside over all the ambiance was lovely. I'd highly recommend this place!

I look forward to coming back and getting our usual- this place looks like it could be a regular joint for us.

Despite having many customers throughout the day, most do not choose to stay to drink at the tables, so you don't have to worry about finding a spot to sit. I had the Purple Haze, a lavender latte drink that had great coffee and lavender flavors and was the perfect amount of sweetness to me. The Black Panther, a raspberry latte drink, was also good. I believe I met the owner, and she was super kind to us. We did not have coins to pay for parking, and she helped us out without even asking for us to pay her back (of course we did, but it was a very nice gesture).
