I stopped into Chaparral while on a brief trip to Lockhart, and what I didn't expect was a huge 5K and 10K to be happening at the same time I was in town. A ton of the runners and spectators needed a little coffee fix after the race, so Chaparral had a huge rush while I was in town. This created a long line and a long back order of drinks. Instead of complaining about how long it took and OH MY GOSH HOW DARE THEY MAKE ME WAIT, I have to give them credit. Though the 3 people working were slammed, they were churning out orders quickly and efficiently, fighting off the rush one drink at a time. It took about 20ish minutes to get my coffee, but after getting my hot lavender latte with oat milk, it was worth the wait. It was a very quality cup, and it was just what I needed to start my day. The shop is super narrow, but super cute and stylish. The roadrunner LED on the wall really added to the shop's character. Next time I'm in Lockhart, I'll go out of my way to get back to Chaparral.

Small town coffee shop. Coffee was great! Ordered the Mexican Mocha latte. Service was good, however, it was kind of hard to ignore the personal conversations going on around us with the staff and their friends. I mean personal, personal conversations. Overall, it was a cool little spot. read more

Chaparral Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lockhart, Texas

My friend wanted to come visit this cantina this past weekend, so on Saturday we came out here for some drinks. It was a nice evening in Lockhart so we went for a stroll before coming here. As we were walking in, we appreciated the artwork on the exterior of the place. Nice vibe inside also, very southwest. You're supposed to order at the bar, there are no servers taking orders from your table but the owner was walking by and she took our order anyway. We ordered a couple of drinks, some dips, mini tacos, and quesadilla. I really liked my first drink, which was the tamarind margarita. The avo crema and queso they had were really good too! It's a cute little spot to come out for drinks and snacks, def will come back! read more

We really love this little coffee shop. Their coffee quality is high whether it's a straight up drip or a fancy espresso drink. We pop into Lockhart from Austin from time to time, and we never skip a visit here. The staff is busy, but friendly. Food-wise, we've only tried the pastries (not sure if they're from a local shop or they bake them there) and they are tasty. read more

Would I drive here from Austin to get a coffee? Hmm, perhaps! Everytime I pass through in my way to the coast, I stop! This coffee is THE BEST coffee I've had in Texas thus far. Or maybe it's the staff that makes it perfect? The vibe is so chill, the smiles are abundant, and you can't go wrong with anything in their menu. I'll be back! read more

Such a cute little spot!! In Lockhart! I was looking for a bite to eat on the way back from camping. I stopped in on a Sunday at 3pm. I was welcomed kindly by the gentleman behind the counter. I asked if he had anything he could fix for a vegan. He promptly said yes. I had a black bean and rice bowl with mushrooms. Wow, so flavorful, fresh and delicious! I found the prices very affordable for central Texas. Thanks for catering to vegans! read more

I just picked up a sandwich. It was $8 for a regular size slice of bread egg sandwich. "Side of fruit" was one piece of cantaloupe. I get that these places are notorious for being over priced, but I feel like this is still a bit much. The last place in the same building went out of business for being so overpriced, I don't see this establishment having a different result. Maybe it has its own close following, that's the only way I can see it surviving. read more

We got coffee from this location for a job I was on recently. They were very accommodating and the crew thought they were the best coffee we had all week. Would recommend their breakfast as well. Super tasty. read more

This place has become not very consistent with the food and coffee. The food they have started cutting corners to save money, it gets bad to the point all the ingredients that used to be locally sourced are now store bought, the quantity of what they serve seems to be less and less most days I go here while still charging the same amount. Fair warning they do not have prices listed on the menu anymore like they used too. Still a great location and looking forward to their new dinner spot they are opening up next door, it just sucks that the coffee spot isn't the same anymore... read more

I stopped by at CC on our way to south padre, I liked it so much so had to stop by while coming back, it was Sunday late afternoon, so there weren't much people, so was able to order as soon I stepped in, ordered drip, but it was barely warm, so I let the girl behind the counter know about it, he took my cup and realized it was barely warm, so she made a fresh pot, and it was so so good, I think I liked there drip even more than the cappuccino, such a lovely place with friendly service and positive vibes with solid coffee options, what more you can ask for:)) read more

Picked up a great iced coffee and a cappucino at this little coffee shop. The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars was their machine for making frappes was broken and the reviews on frappes led us to this place. Oh well, the drinks we did get were exemplary. read more

This is the most perfect small town coffee shop with the sweetest friendliest person behind the counter, ample seating options inside and out, the best chai latte I've ever had and truly delicious gluten-free pumpkin bread. Reasonable prices, excellent preparation, clean bathroom, inviting decor and space. Loved it! read more

Dropped by to pick up coffee (and use the bathroom) while taking a walk around downtown Lockhart. It's right on the square across from the beautiful courthouse. They have a reasonable amount of indoor and outdoor seating, given the small footprint they have. It's also on the more hipster/modern side of things when it comes to coffee shops - nice to have that option in a relatively rural town! Overall the coffee choices were pretty typical, and it tasted great. I'd stop by again if in town for sure. read more

Chaparral is an amazing little coffee shop situated just in front of the (very cute and dollhouse-like) Caldwell County Courthouse in Lockhart, the so-called BBQ capital of Texas. It stands among the best coffee shops I've ever had the pleasure to visit, serving perfect espresso drinks, hot and cold, and the best Iced Mexican Mocha Latte I've ever tasted in my life. In fact, I'd go as far as admitting that Chaparral is, in my opinion, THE best coffee shop in the larger Austin metropolitan area, dethroning all other coffee shops in a 60 miles radius thanks to its consistency, impeccable service, delectable locally sourced pastries, and delicious blends. On Monday evenings, the coffee shops transforms into a sort of bar, serving alcoholic drinks and featuring local DJs and their music. I highly recommend you stop by Chaparral if you ever happen to be driving by Lockhart. You won't regret it and you'll also get to enjoy the view of the nearby town square as a bonus. read more

We stopped here on Saturday morning for some coffees. It's a cute little spot on the main square, but we'd recommend getting drinks only instead of food (which was unequivocally terrible). The cold brews are good and bless their hearts for using crushed ice. Our daughter got a hot chocolate and a coffee cake, which tasted like saw shavings it was so completely dried out and unappetizing. The real fright was the kolache though: a deflated bun with HALF a sliced and bizarrely chewy sausage in it. It was the absolute worst one that we have ever had. Just: Yikes. Anyway, friendly service and a cute vibe...but stick with the beverages. read more

The freshest food you can find in the area! The owner and staff are very friendly and the food is so good! We've only been for breakfast so far, but it's now one of our go-tos.

Chai and avocado toast was really great but customer service could be a lot better. So if you don't mind that then come here. It's a cute little cafe so you could do homework here or just nice to sit outside on the patio. read more

Highly recommend the chai tea here, the drip coffee was also good. The grilled cheese was delicious, the other sandwich was not anything special, but a decent sandwich. Service was very helpful in offering recommendations and letting me know the chai tea was spicy and having actual spicy chai tea! Everything was served on the cutest plates and lil cups, will go again if i find myself back in Lockhart. read more

This is ridiculous. I'm a loyal customer of chaparral. Mostly for the food. I've gone before to order inside the store and as stated in my previous review, staff seemed more interested in socializing than making my order in a timely manner. The favor driver I ordered from also experienced the same slowness. However today I ordered like I usually do and found a hair in my egg. This is why you need hair nets and beard nets. I just cut off the part that had the hair and ate because I'm at work and have so much time to eat. Disappointing. read more

Excellent latte and yummy sami's- we got a Turkey Sami and a little garden Sami for the road. Sweet spot!

Was really impressed with the iced pecan coffee. Definitely a gem in downtown Lockhart and the coffee is just delicious.

Great little coffee shop with a hidden outside seating area out back. Really good sandwiches and great coffee at a fair price. The coffee drinks come up fast. The food orders take a few minutes but, it's made to order so it's worth the wait. You can get a beer here as well. They also have seating out front so you can socialize while sipping on your latte. Definitely stop in here if you're on the square. read more

The only bad thing about this spot is that it's far from my house. I got the pecan toddy which was just enough sweet to not over power, but enhance the other flavors in the drink. It was iced and perfect to walk around the square and enjoy the sites of the beautiful courthouse right across the way. My bf had the Mexican mocha or something like that, also tasty with just enough cinnamon to taste like a cross between abuelita's coffee and a mocha latte. Idk, it was good. read more

This is pretty much the only coffee option in Lockhart, but it is pretty good. They have been very helpful during Covid19. They added more than just coffee and online ordering to make it easier and safer for everyone. And a few small groceries that have actually prevented us from having to go to HEB or Walmart. The crew has always been very friendly and helpful. read more
