    Absolutely wonderful coffee...rich flavored and full aroma. I ordered the Joe's special which is a latte topped with evaporated milk. Delicious! I got there around 8:30 on a Thursday morning, traveling across country from TN to CA. Elko's finest (PD) were there, as were lots of locals. That's a sign of some good joe!! Service was polite and prompt. The atmosphere cowboy chic, with great art on the walls and cool T-shirts and ball caps for sale. I'll for sure be back if I'm ever in this part of Nevada again!

    Stopped here while on a road trip. There was a bit of a line but it moved quickly. Simple clean interior that lived up to its name with lots of cowboy themed decor all around. I ordered a medium iced dirty chai. It came with 2 shots and was way more sweet than spiced. My husband got a drip coffee. Drip is available self-serve style with the brews listed "mild" or "wild". My husband opted for the stronger of the two and said it was very good. A nice start to our day.

    We were in town for a wedding and my friend said this was the go-to coffee shop of Elko! It is located downtown in a very walkable area. There are some cool murals on the brick walls nearby, it's worth walking around to check them out. This coffee shop has a lot of fun specialty coffee flavors. I asked what their best sellers are and let them know I usually order a flavored latte. They suggested the Happy Camper which is a latte with vanilla and caramel. I got a size medium and served as iced! I was impressed at how fast my drink was ready. The coffee itself was really good, I could taste both flavors equally well. They served the iced latte in a cup that requires a straw, but the only straws they had available on their side counter with the cream/sugar were super wide straws that you would normally use for bubble tea. I didn't see a regular size straw anywhere which was a bit odd, unless I missed it. Either way, coffee was still great and it was the pick-me-up I needed. They have some neat decorations inside, I loved their photos of the mountains that are hung up on the wall. I enjoyed my coffee and would come back again!

    Cowboy Joe's is a great coffee shop. They have creative drinks from teas, coffees, to energy drink mixtures. They also have pastries, indoor and outdoor seating, ample, free, nearby parking and interesting alleyways. Service is quick and payment options vary (cash- card- phone options). Ambiance is eclectically chill.

    In my opinion, best part about a positive coffee shop experience is about the barista. Alondra, I apologize if I misspelled your name and my review is overdue from when we came through in June, but your custom lattes, patience and friendly conversation were refreshing! I highly recommend Cowboy Joe AND touring all the incredible murals nearby, if you're in Elko!

    Great place! They roast their own coffee, which is excellent, and you can't beat the location and ambience. The service is great, too!

    Heading up to the Ruby Dome, and wanted to have a picnic. The hotel clerk recommended this place…read more. We were not disappointed. I called ahead and ordered two sandwiches to go. The person on the phone was very polite and asked me a few questions like what sides. The place was pretty full when I got there, however, I was able to get my food quickly and the weight staff were very jovial and friendly. What we ordered: tri-tip French dip (selected potatoes for side) a chicken ciabatta sandwich (salad with vinaigrette Everything was packaged nicely. The girl asked if I wanted ranch dressing for the potatoes and I thought why not. My wife really loved the chicken sandwich and the flavor of the tri-tip sandwich was really good however I think for $20 , it could've had some more beef in it. There was only one layer about 1 inch thick. But for quality and flavor, it was perfect. The potatoes that came with it or red potatoes that were quite tender and covered in some kind of crumbs. Not quite sure what they were, kinda like toasted Panko. The potatoes were not fried with this, it was just covering all the potatoes. At first, I was not thrilled about this, but as I started eating them... I became a fan! That's the only way I could describe the breadcrumbs/topping on the potatoes lol. We enjoyed our picnic up in the mountains, partially due to the great food we took with from here

I saw good reviews and decided to stop in for breakfast while on a work trip, and was surprised to find that every single thing about my visit was perfect. Location is convenient, just off Idaho Street in Elko, but parking was easy. Inside of the restaurant is clean and stylish, and very welcoming, as were all of the waitresses. Service was exceptionally fast and friendly, the coffee was fresh and hot. They technically don't have a traditional breakfast type plate on the menu, most of their items seem to be more like breakfast sandwiches or wraps, but the waitress was quick to let me know that they would be happy to make a normal breakfast plate. It's hard to pick a favorite part because both the breakfast potatoes and the raspberry jam we're probably the best I've ever had. I expected the jam to come out in the usual disposable plastic tub, but instead it came out and appeared to be homemade. If they sold it I would have bought some of that on the side to go. Potatoes had just the right amount of savory crunch on the outside, but were soft and creamy on the inside. When I lived in the area before I felt like there never were any great breakfast options in Elko, but I can definitely say that this place will not disappoint. I'll be back for sure!

When the server finally came with check, I let her know the order was wrong and full of yellow onions. She replied I know, the ticket wasn't written correctly. I told her she shouldn't have served it then and I don't think I should be charged for it. She grabbed ticket irritated and said ok, then walked off. Sad, because I wanted to like this family owned quaint little breakfast place. Unfortunately, I went by all the good reviews and what a disappointment. Will not be coming back! Never saw the server after food delivered. until she brought check. Looks like locals like this place, but not for me.

The dough maker, whom I believe was named Aliza (apologies if I have the name wrong), was there preparing fresh dough, which was wonderful to see. I was fortunate to find a few pastries still available, including the Chile Verde and Beef with Cabbage. The Beef with Cabbage pastry was flavorful and especially enjoyable with their homemade "Hot & Spicy" sauce. While I would have preferred the pastry dough to be a bit crispier, I purchased it after hours and was still very pleased with the quality and taste. Overall, it was a delightful surprise and a very enjoyable experience. I also picked up one Chocolate Brownie with walnuts and a slice of their homemade Carrot cake. I had the carrot cake and it was outstanding! Fresh, flavorful, and loaded with carrots and walnuts, it was everything a great carrot cake should be. I've enjoyed desserts at five-star restaurants and have family members that easily ranks among the best bakers and this cake was delicious!!! Every mouthful was pure deliciousness, and my taste buds were extremely happy. I would gladly order it again!
