    Interior
    Jenna g.

    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!

    Super friendly service! Good variety of drinks and milk options, cute interior. Best of luck to our barista who is heading out for several months of road tripping. She gave great recommendations and made our visit excellent!

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

I ordered a breakfast "sandwich" and was served an open faced conglomeration meat, egg, and cheese on a plate. Something that would have required a knife and fork to consume. If I had wanted something that required me to sit down and eat, I would have gone to a real breakfast restaurant. This is not what someone going through a drive-thru window at 6 in the morning is looking for. At least the coffee was hot.

Look no further than the Mudd Hutt in the Albertsons/ Pizza Hut parking lot!! Not only does Mudd Hutt have all the normal coffee combos you could want, they have a pretty decent list of specialty drinks, smoothies, and Italian sodas. My favorite thing however is their 'Red Bull Italian sodas' which is any of their Red Bull drinks add cream. They're all so good and really get my mornings going! The coolest thing is that they carry Ogi Deli food, including their Breakfast Burritos! The chorizo one had big sausage link style chunks of chorizo, egg, potatoes and cheese and it was super good. What's even better, is they have a drive thru! So you don't even have to get out of your car to order and you'll be quickly on your way to work with a unique drink and good hot food! Mudd Hutt is the best for fast and friendly breakfasts. I find myself going there regularly!

    Had to five star this Starbucks. It was pretty typical of most locations except this one was in a…read moregrocery store. It happens when you're on a roadie and find out the store you pick IS in the grocery store. I park in the gigantic parking lot, far away from everyone else. That's good cause I don't want any door, cart, human or other entity touching my truck! This worked out well. Once inside the grocer, it was right there. You know the products, I got great/fast service from Paisley, and I was back on 80 east in a few minutes. The great folks of Nevada aren't heavy Yelpers and when the do Yelp, they're usually pissed off. I think that's the case here, but my experience was an easy 5 stars for me :)

    So although this might not be a traditional stand alone Starbucks, in which you walk in and see…read morelots of tables, room to read/work and cool vibed music somewhere in the distance, this Starbucks gets better credit than the reviews written about it in my book. Yes, it is inside the Red Lion casino in the relatively rural northern Nevada town of Elko. And as such, you see the neon and hear the bells of slot machines 20 feet away. You also hear country music kind of belting from the sound system in the casino (tasteful and cool county must, for the record). But outside of crazy events that sell out the hotel and makes the patron line at this small Starbucks seem monumental, I find this spot quite charming and inviting to do a little work on any random 7AM hour. And please note, they use to be on Red Lion WI-FI which is super slow, but in 2019, they switched to their own Starbucks WI-FI and it is fast like you would expect at your more traditional Starbucks location. So its a bit loud and a bit out of sorts right here on a casino floor, but I like it (and I am actually not a huge fan of Starbucks to even begin with). The staff really are most friendly too. So with that, let me tip my cup, enjoy my Joe and get surfing on their WI-FI.
