My new favorite coffee shop in Elko! Incredibly friendly staff and a GREAT cup of joe! It's a place I could hang out all morning! We are just passing through today but we will return soon! read more

I had an eggnog latte and BF had a drip coffee. My latte tasted great and BF was happy with his black coffee. He said it was a smooth, nice roast. I also had a muffin, which was fresh and tasty. A good find, worth hopping off 80 for a minute if you are just passing through. Definitely would go back. read more

This place is so cute :) Love the aesthetic and the coffee is great- I had a red eye to ready me for a long day of driving. If I wasn't just passing through today this would be a go-to spot for sure!! read more

Cowboy Joe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Elko, Nevada

See all

Several of the staff weren't wearing masks, including one woman at the register (which is someone who speaks directly into the face of someone ordering), as well as 2 customers I saw, which made me super anxious. Also I did a call-in order because we were in a hurry, but when I got there it wasn't completed. Drinks were good but overall a stressy experience. read more

We aways stop here on the way to SLC. Excellent coffee and breakfast burritos. Friendly service. Clean restroom.

I stopped in because being from out of town, I needed the free wifi, and the coffee to work on some school assignments. So, I ended up turning to Yelp, and found this little cornerstone of the Elko community. I love the theme, decor, and atmosphere of this place. I asked for suggestions from the ladies at the counter and they mentioned that their cowboy coffee was their signature drink. I ordered a medium and reluctantly paid the $4.44 for the thing. However, I found out that I drank all of it, as it was VERY GOOD. And worth every penny. I ended up sticking around for a few hours, taking advantage of the free wifi. If you choose to do what I did and need a quiet place to work this wouldn't be the greatest option. They do have country music a little louder than your typical coffee shop. All in all, I took advantage of their "caffeine" card (punch card) as I plan to be here many more times when I find myself here. read more

Cowboy Joe - Lots of seating! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Elko, Nevada

We stopped in for the first time when on a road trip, desperately needing some coffee to help us on our way. I had such a good first impression because the place was attractive and the barista was so cheerful and nice. He made me smile! And the coffee was SO good! They were kind, professional and extra caring, even when I needed some big help because I left something important there. They helped me resolve it, giving me peace of mind. They have a customer for life! Cowboy Joes - great coffee and great people, a fantastic combination! read more

Good coffee and they're open early too which is great. The girl working there this morning was very kind. The shop has pretty cool vibes and the photographs on the walls are stunning. read more

It's just another coffee place. There is nothing spectacular that stands out at Cowboy Joes. The baristas are friendly if they know you as a regular, which is more obvious when I go in with friends that frequent it often than when I drop in myself on occasion. Seating is quite limited since they put in their own toaster, too. With all the available coffee options around town, this is a take it or leave it type place. read more

Very cool coffee shop downtown that can get pretty busy.I had a great vanilla latte and an everything bagel complete with whipped cream cheese. I enjoyed the seating area with old school fireplace and comfy couch and small town western decor. read more

I sometimes, come here to work and every time I come I have a great experience. Whether you like fancy coffer or like me a regular cup of black coffee there are many options to chose from. The menu is very big and can be overwhelming, but the environment is so chill, there is not rush, to place an order. The décor is eclectic, but very warm and inviting. Internet is fast and free. I can't really speak on the food, as I have only had bagels, but from my observations of others eating there, it appears as though the food is very satisfying. I will definitely be back :-) read more

Stopped by this cute shop just passing through the area. The coffee was great! Minimal breakfast and pastry options, but you couldn't have asked for better service. read more

This is a great coffee shop, with the roaster on-site. Try the "Cowboy Joe" with hazelnut flavoring. Its downtown location is cozy and amenable for hanging around with small groups. It's back patio is great when the weather is warm. read more

We found this great in house roasted coffee shop on Yelp and were so delighted. The owner was so friendly and our coffee was perfect! We even bought some beans to take home. Don't miss this experience! read more

Great coffee, great service and great atmosphere!!! Next time I swing through Elko I will definitely be stopping here again!

Such a fun local place to get coffee. We were passing through and found this gem for our morning cup of joe. So many delicious flavors. HOWEVER staff and patrons were not wearing a mask. Ignored all COVID health warnings and not cool, mask up read more

What a cute little coffee house. With a little bar to sit around the roasting machine so you can probably watch what's happening when they're roasting away. The dacor it has all these pictures that are panorama's of the area very interesting. And coffee's good staff is oh so friendly and even the customers are boisterous. We found it to me great fun and interesting decor. I'd come back. read more

I loved this place. It's my new favorite coffee place in Elko. I went in on a Wednesday morning at 8 am. The service was quick despite a lot of people there. They have a walk up coffee bar. The decor is really cute cowboy decor. They sell mugs and tshirts. I'm going back tomorrow! It's next to McAdoo's on 5th. There is street parking and a public parking lot around the corner. There is comfy seating in case you want to bring a book and enjoy your coffee. It's walking distance to all of downtown, and right next door to the Western Folklife Center. read more

We ordered a cup of coffee and chai latte with almond milk. The coffee was rich and smooth. The latte was tasty with the mix of spices and a subtle sweetness. We chose to try Cowboy Joe's instead of Starbucks, and we're so happy with our choice! This will be our new stop when traveling through Elko! read more

Great hemp latte, great vibe. If you're roadtripping from coastal CA, this is an espresso lighthouse in the desert.

Wonderful little shop with friendly helpful staff. They carefully crafted my beverage and made my experience a delightful start to my day. I hope to return to this shop once dining in is once again allowed so I can linger and enjoy the cozy atmosphere. Great first experience- highly recommended read more

I have been to Cowboy Joe a few times since I've lived in Elko and I have to say that I understand why so many people in Elko recommend this coffee place. It's got a great little seating area and some drinks that are personal to Cowboy Joe. They have a variety of syrups too. I had a cherry latte the first time I went there and it was absolutely amazing! Their coffee is great and the caffeine kicks in quite quickly! All in all, this is a great place to go when you would like a quick cup of coffee and they have a great punch card system for drink rewards as well!! read more

Not good coffee. Not good service. The cashier doesn't wash her hands before making your food and it's just gross. I would have to say that you should just hit the local Starbucks and get what you expect. I try so hard to support local coffee over chains like Starbucks but they also have to meet me half way and provide good service/good coffee. Sorry but this place offered neither. read more

Elko is an interesting town. On one hand the downtown area has its roots firmly set in old school casinos and businesses, and on the flip side there are a handful of local spots that could be considered, depending on your perspective, city-esque. Despite the name, Cowboy Joe could easily be transported out of Elko and dropped into a city. Coffee drinks abound, including chai, specialty drinks made with almond and soy milk. Cute spot, good coffee. read more

It must be that everything in Nevada is just average at best as this place is not a good. I ordered an almond milk cappuccino and it came back luke warm . When I asked for another one the girl tried to tell me that's how cappuccinos come. WTF? This place is NO 4 Star and not worth spending $5 on a coffee that you won't drink. read more

I thoroughly enjoy coming here and as tomorrow is a Thursday plan on going in to get my rewards card double punched. I have only drank their espresso and made business calls on the cute and quaint back patio but am going to make a point to try more of their coffee drinks as the weather turns colder. Great service every time I'm in, and as someone who has been going to coffee shops for years in the cities I've lived in like Seattle, Vancouver, San Francisco and LA my standards are pretty high. This little "cowboy coffee shop" provides very well for this little western mining town. read more

We drive through Elko several times a year going from SF to SLC. This is a great place to grab a tasty latte. Smooth and mellow (not overly roasted or burnt) flavor. I'm always looking for something that tastes better than burnt/bitter Starbucks. This is a great option. read more

Great little spot for some creative coffee concoctions. I got some magical blend of Irish cream, cinnamon and mocha and it was awesome.

Wow!! I wasn't expecting it but this is the best coffee I have had in quite a long time. I ordered the snickerdoodle and it was top notch. Seriously if you are in Elko stop here! read more

Got a Mexican mocha and it was very tasty! Cute store and super friendly staff. I need to come back to Elko!

Great espresso and chocolate cookie. The cappuccino was a bit heavy on the milk and foam so ask for it dry. I like that they had for here cups so we weren't wasting plastic read more

We love Cowboy Joe! Such an awesome selection of coffee, tea, snacks, merch.. Their decor is inviting and I always feel welcome, even when the place is packed. They're continually coming up with new creations and their customer service is definitely some of the best in Elko! Highly recommend! Fav coffee shop in town! read more

Hands down the best espresso I have ever had in my life! The folks running this place are super friendly and I really look forward to every time I have the chance to get a drink here. Don't waste your time getting coffee anywhere else! read more

Sweet little oasis on a x-country drive! Enjoyed the cold brew & a breakfast burrito (they get the latter from Tacos Las Brisas in town -- the salsa verde = also delicious.) read more

Waited in line for 20 minutes this morning. I guess I was forgotten. Promised they would make mine next Got back and my latte I ordered was a cup of steamed milk. read more

The coffee and homemade baked goods were of great quality and tasted terrific! Superb ambience too. The music was fun and the photography was inspirational. A true oasis for those who appreciate good coffee. read more

This place seems a little cramped and cluttered, but it was a very comfortable place to sit and enjoy my drink anyway. Only about a dozen or so people could actually hang out in here at a time. I was very tempted to buy some of the locally inspired or made souveniers/ books. I got the iced chai tea and it was pretty damned good. I know I will be back here. read more

While visiting Elko, we were glad to find this place. Good light, and excellent coffee! They have a couple of booths in the front windows, and the one we sat in was nice and cozy. The house blend of their coffee is awesome! read more

On a boring street, in a small boring town, lies Cowboy Joe. If like me, you are used to the more, um, lively dining establishments of the bay area, you might think this café, never mind, this whole town is a few levels below you. But beyond the unassuming exterior of Cowboy Joe, is a stylish Western themed café. What's more, their coffee is absolutely delicious. And so is their hot chocolate, and their pastries, and everything else I'm assuming. This place is awesome. If there's a slim chance you're in northeast Nevada, and an even slimmer chance you're in Elko, you might want to give this place a try. read more

Cowboy Joe - If this cute interior doesn't do it for you, their coffee certainly will. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Elko, Nevada

The iced coffee here is better than any place I've had. The decor is cute, and the patio outback is great for chatting with friends over morning coffee. As far as Elko coffee shops go, I think this place is the best in town. If you've got a few extra minutes, swing by Joe's and avoid Starbucks! read more
