Came in on a weekday, and it was not packed. They gave a wide array of drink/food options. As a coffee addict I obvi got an Americano; which was pretty solid. Ambiance is cozy with plenty of seating! I would like bigger tables for parties of two. Me and misses had to sit apart bc not enough room on small tables. The vibes are great for studying or hanging out with friends/family. read more

We stopped in for a snack, but the tacos could have been dinner. We wanted to try a new place, read our books and have a quick bite. This place has a peaceful atmosphere, really good sweet tea, and perfectly delicious tacos! We will be back! read more

Nice adventure trying something new. We loved the tea samples and the selections available which is great because the food was subpar. The queso tasted like it was scooped out of a jar, warmed up and given a hot sauce swirl for presentation. read more

This coffee and taco shop is a nice study space with good wifi and a second floor seating area. It's cozy with some interesting decor. The honey badger latte is a delicious sweet coffee. They have various fusion tacos, which are tasty but overpriced for the size. I got the Tikka Maharaja taco, which was a chicken tikka masala taco. They served it in a tiny metal stand, and the taco was falling apart and getting on the table as I was eating. I'm not sure why they don't give plates. I also found it inconvenient that they don't post their prices on the menu. I've seen this at food trucks but not well-established brick and mortar restaurants. read more

It took 40 mins to serve us our order which was only two lamb tacos. Multiple customers were asking for their order status, all the while the servers were taking social media photos of dishes! The kid at the coffee counter was the only one working and getting the brunt of frustrated customers' attitude. This place could be great, if only they change their staff!!! read more

Order the flat breakfast no combo by itself it was served as a medium, well-done, egg, hard shell tortilla, roasted tomatoes, very light and delicious. Also ordered the OUI taco breakfast came with egg cheese potatoes spinach with salsa served with soft shell tortilla different from your traditional Mexican breakfast taco but tasted delicious Drunk order was a Mexican hot chocolate temperature was wonderful not too hot not cold at all. Very delicious. Also ordered medium drip coffee with creamer and hazelnut, different taste from original bougie coffee or at home coffee but tasted good. Environment is warm welcoming upstairs seating and lower seating is available. Pet friendly establishment, service is a little slow but very polite it is a Sunday so know need to rush. Looking for a place to relax with a coffee or hot chocolate stop by and give it a try. read more

Great coffee. Today we had the special Almond joy latte. It tasted like an Almond joy just not as sweet. It was perfect. The souffle is delicious! Very fresh and a great combination of spinach, artichoke, and cream cheese. The flat with egg and avocado was tasty. The atmosphere is nice. I also enjoy the tea samples. read more

Arusha is such a cute spot to grab coffee in downtown Belton. They have a nice food menu as well which is not always the case at coffee shops. There is a cute upstairs and downstairs area to sit and it looks to be a good study or meeting spot. The coffee is always good and I really liked the Oui taco the first time I visited here. I tried the souflee by accident (I ordered a taco and opened my box to find a souflee!) and it was really good as well! They also have a large tea selection and cute tea gifts. A must visit when in Belton read more

I've eaten at Arusha several times, but the recent visit was disappointing. I ordered the 2 taco special (2 tacos, chips and salsa, and drink of your choice is how it is advertised). When I requested an iced tea the cashier added $3 to the total, when I questioned her she said that only water or soda was included in the special. If true, this should be noted in the advertisement. Also, I paid in cash but was still charged the 3% "service fee". When I asked about that, the cashier just shrugged. . . I sent a note on their website, but 2 weeks later have not received a reply. Won't be returning there anytime soon. read more

GREAT cappuccino and drip coffee! YES, they know how to make an honest to goodness cappuccino!!! We loved this place. The staff were friendly and engaging. We found a table upstairs and were able to people watch. This place was busy! Many customers stayed to enjoy their coffee. The front window table had a group enjoying afternoon tea. Ruby's Tea Room had the front of the shop. While Arusha's baristas were in the back. If I lived in Belton, I would have a difficult time staying away. read more

Arusha is an awesome coffee shop! Tons of seating options, upstairs and downstairs, and cute ambiance and decor! My iced latte was great - it is on the sweeter side so go into it with that in mind. Tons of syrup options but I went with the salted caramel mocha which was delicious. Can't wait to try the food next time! read more

When I checked out Arusha was very excited to try this place, and we went in the weekend as a long drive to this place for late breakfast. It's a coffee in a old building, vibes are good and they have spacious seating inside, staff was friendly. We ordered two taco combo, it comes with drink, chips and salsa, but if you wanna replace salsa with queso, it's extra and drink I wanted blended so it was extra, husband got drip. Taco were exceptionally good, tortillas are small, but protein are good portions and all the ingredients were fresh and together tasted awesome. Queso was just okay, it was thin and it dint had that spicy kick in it. Mocha was a disaster, even now I wonder if they forgot to add espresso, because it tasted like blended chocolate milk, I dint even taste a hint of coffee in it. Husband was no fan of drip either. Must try place for their tacos!! read more

This place was surprisingly good. Tacos and coffee seem odd, but the tacos were delicious. I got the korean one and the Kung Pao chicken one, and they were both delicious, but the Kung Pao was awesome. The flavor was tasty, and the peanuts on top went so well. I had a white mocha iced coffee, and while it was good, it was quite strong to me. The place is quite nice inside. The tables were a bit small for groups larger than 2, but it is technically a cafe, after all. People at the counter were nice as well. Seems like a nice chill place for younger people to hang out and enjoy some good food and drinks. read more

Arushas Coffee - Kung pao and korean bulgolgi taco. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Belton, Texas

Arusha Coffee is a hidden gem in Belton- the atmosphere is wonderful, perfect for bringing a date, group of friends, or studying on a laptop. The taco special is the best deal: house drink (I got an iced matcha, two tacos, and chips w/ salsa (or queso for $1+). The bulgogi taco was very tasty and the salsa is a bit spicy- if I had to do it again, the queso would be my way to go. read more

A friend brought me the first time I came here. Today, I came back with my husband in tow. We had a little anniversary lunch, each ordering the 2 taco combo. My husband got 1 bulgogi taco and 1 fish & chips taco. I also ordered a bulgogi taco and the Sha shrimp taco. My only complaint would be that the chips for the queso were a teensy bit stale, but everything else was fantastic! Even the bite I got to try of my husband's fish & chips taco! We had 2 glasses of water (even the water is good here!) and 2 cocoas. I highly recommend the Salted Caramel hot chocolate. Two thumbs way up! Both hot chocolates were better than what you get from Starbucks. We enjoyed our little lunch date from the upper loft area. My husband commented on the same large art piece at the top of the stairs. read more

i thought Arusha was so fun! at first i was a little thrown by coffee and tacos, but it ended up being a great spot. i loved sitting upstairs to study. coffee was good and service was quick, only downside was welding was going on while i was there. hopefully project is fixed soon! read more

We met friends for coffee and loved the ambience. Had live music, great food and drinks, plus a wonderful staff. I don't love the prices but I totally understand with prices everywhere these days. I'd go back and highly recommend. I love fresh tea leaves too, but their inventory was picked over so teavanna is available, just get what's available at the moment. Overall GREAT place to go chill! read more

The people here are so nice and kind. The place is perfect for sitting down and enjoying a nice cup of coffee, which is honestly really good. They also offer sample teas, so be sure to try them. I wish I had tried their taco, which gives me a reason to come back. read more

Arushas Coffee - Bulgogi Beef Taco and Tikka Maharaja tacos with chips, salsa, and queso. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Belton, Texas

This place has some awesome French press coffee! I was also not expecting the place to be as big as it was - it is 2 floor with plenty of seating and WiFi, a great place to sit and chat with friends or do some work! I got the Colombia French press which was super flavorful, bold and tasty. They let you choose the country which you want coffee beans to be from, and there's so much variety - I wish I could've sampled all! I only got coffee, but they have several pastries (though the chocolate croissant looked very...pale lol, not that I tried it though), many yummy looking cheesecakes/cakes, and a full dinner menu with tacos and more. Also, they have a really cute display of teas and the decorations around the shop are fun to look at. Also, several burlap sacks for sale at the front in case that's something you're looking for! read more

Get a great ambiance. Macrons are also awesome. Great place to chill. My daughter says it reminds her of Paris. read more

You want some coffee, tea? How about tacos? A place to meet up with some friends or get some introverted time? How about an open mic? Check off the whole list here at Arusha Coffee. The place is a neat location, lots of different places to sit in the multileveled loft and submerged seating on one end with pool table in the middle on the way to get your coffee. It's a laid back environment and somewhat of a you're at someone's house with the different couches and seating but it works somehow. The tacos have some real winners though not the fish and chips one. The latte's are decent and the pastries are good. Overall quality is great! Service is great as well, always friendly and efficient! I haven't checked out an open mic here but I think it would be an epic event with the right promotions. Could really leverage the space for an incredible experience! read more

Didn't come here for coffee... I came here for tacos! And wow! I was blown away! The restaurant / tea shop / cafe is well decorated, spacious, and photo-op ready. Had lunch with friends and ordered just about every taco on the menu. The bulgogi was my favorite. It's a must try! The queso was pretty good too. read more

The food is always good! I remember when this restaurant first opened. It's evolved over the years and I love it! Since I'm a tea lover I give this place 5 stars because there aren't many cafes offering loose leaf tea in Bell county. Thank you for being versatile and diverse with your menu options. read more

We've been meaning to return, especially for their taco specials! Yes a coffee place with other food selections... I was ecstatic to find their variety of available coffee beans. Check out the contraptions they sell for coffee chemistry :D Fun stuff! Their ambience is really comfy! I like the warm feel of their interior, and there are tons of seating with lounge areas, even upstairs. I suppose they're like an internet cafe. Be mindful though, the table and chairs section is snug and cozy. We enjoyed their coffees, matcha tea blends, and desserts. Perk: They have a pool table! read more

This place has EXCELLENT tacos, but I would *not* recommend the Pumpkin Spice Espresso -- it is bitter and does not taste like pumpkin spice at all! I also liked the aesthetics of the place, but not the bathroom. To me, it was poorly illuminated. The service was decent, though. All in all, it's a good Belton restaurant. read more

Great establishment and solid offerings. Ambiance was nice and service great. Didn't have any food.

A cute place with a lot of seating. The iced coffee was horrible. It was more water than coffee!!! The new barista needs some training on how to make it. He seemed like a sweet young man. read more

Taco was good! Coffee could use some work... my iced coffee tasted pretty watered down. The inside is pretty cool and chill.

A GREAT coffee/teahouse and even makes a great crochet club hang out apparently!! AND they serve some BOMB tacos!!!! My sister was visiting and was fienin for some coffee one morning so I did a quick Goog of the area and this place popped up. Ok we'll give it a try! When we pulled up the sign said Arusha Taco. Ummmmmm are we in the right place??? I'm ASSUMING SO???? Walked in, and the SMELLLSSSSSS. And the SIGHTS!!!!!! Walls of gorgeous teapots!!! N I'm not talkin your run of the mill modern kitschy tea pots either! I'm talking straight outta Mulan n Shogun Tea pots!! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! I will Definitely be back for some of these beauties to add to my collection. This place definitely gives Starbucks a run for its money as far as a comfy place to hang. Then there are the Tacos!!! We decided to try a couple of the spicy Sha shrimp Sriracha tacos n MAN we're they GOOD!!! Served in corn tortillas just the way we like them n just a slight kick for the mid morning just right for breaking my fast. Mmmm mmmmm yummy yummy!! I also tasted one of the double chocolate muffins I could NOT finish it in one sitting it was so RICH!!! But it was just what I needed at that moment!!! Thanks so much guys you are on it!! I will definitely be back SOON!! read more

Run to this place...immediately. I think these are some of the best tacos I've had in my life. Not only are the ingredients super fresh, everything tasted like a well cooked meal. Absolutely incredible. I had the N East and the Southwest Chicken. My husband had the lamb and the fish and chip taco. We also had a side of queso and chips. For dessert lwe had cheesecake and the carrot cake. There are a few options to try and far as the tacos go which I will be certain to try. There's also a teavana and coffee area if you'd like that. read more

In my opinion, Belton is lacking a "good" breakfast spot. However, Arusha is an awesome spot for coffee, muffin or small egg-type offerings. I had the Turkish Coffee (a first for me for this kind) and a quiche. Turkish Coffee was around $4 and the quiche rang in at $5. Both were full of flavor! Decadent single serving quiche and a murky, muddy, sludgy type Turkish Coffee (according to my google research of this type of blend - they nailed it). The business is in an old stone building and is rustic, yet very tidy. The men's room has a wall of cedar planking; so, that is a great deodorizer for a bathroom (lol). They advertise live music and have a luncheon/supper menu as well. Staff was equally pleasant and fastidious. Jacques was our barista - well done, sir! Will definitely be back. Will probably be our new favorite local-spot... read more

Arushas Coffee - Turkish Coffee and quiche - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Belton, Texas

For my second visit to this local treasure, I had the salted caramel mocha latte - fabulous, and a chocolate chunk muffin. Quite delicious. Hubby had the Turkish coffee, a somewhat different treat, and the quiche, which was excellent. The affordability, along with the quality, of the food and coffee will definitely keep us coming back. The atmosphere is relaxed, yet not at all boring. The music in the background is quiet and a mix of eclectic genres. It is a kitschy place with lots of things to look at, space to read and relax, or watch some tv, chat with a friend. I've seen all ages here. The staff is friendly and seems to enjoy what they do. Will most likely become my favorite place in town. read more

Pros: A Is a great place for free internet browsing/work. Worth the cup of coffee? Maybe. Is very clean, placement i've tables and sitting areas are perfect. The pastries/cupcakes in a case, nice presentation + taste good. No more expensive than anywhere else + prob taste better. They didn't buy them at H-E-B. A plus. Cons: Food is tapas-size - not as advertised on the board menu - you find out later. But at full - plate prices. Not very tasty. It's so convenient that I would go there for lunch almost every day if the food weren't so disappointing. Coffee - cute setup but not on par with satisfying, rich offerings I would expect from a potentially unique coffeehouse. (I'm spoiled - North Beach, SF, real coffeehouses).But, a standard I wish the owners wd meet. You will not see a great deal of people over 40 there, which begs a question, marketing guys. And, you would think they would market the baby boomer retired here. Mucho dinero. I'm only talking about this because I really want it to be a place I would even consider going every day. read more
