Gold Stripe Located…read moreinside the beautiful Cactus Alley is the small but great Gold Stripe Coffee Roasters. Here, an iced latte feels like a cocktail. The craft that goes into how they make each beverage, and how they are served using a huge ice cube makes it feel special and different. Their espresso-based beverages are always excellent, and I find myself visiting every few visits I make to Lubbock. Their interior space is small but inviting making it great for work, but I also enjoy on a spring day to sit right outside in the Cactus Alley courtyard and enjoy the coffee with the natural air. This is simply one of the best coffee shops and co-working spaces in Lubbock. RIYL: Big ice cubes

He-Brews was the first local coffee shop I ever went to in Lubbock. During my freshman year, my…read morefriend was visiting Tech, and I went with him, my sister, and my at-the-time girlfriend who was visiting with them. I liked how secluded He-Brews was from the rest of Lubbock, right in the heart of prairie dog town. It's hard to get distracted from studying if the only thing around you is dirt. I've been to He-Brews a handful of times since then, having nice conversations with a friend over coffee, getting some studying in when I needed a change of scenery, or last week when I decided to revisit He-Brews while in town. I think the space is cute and cozy. There is plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. This time I ordered their Lavender Haze, a lavender and honey macchiato. I thought it was a little too milky compared to the espresso, and it lacked much nuance. It was fine and I finished it, but it really wasn't special. They also have a Christian radio station, KWBF, under the same roof. I have never once seen the station's broadcasters inside the studio while I'm in there, but it is cool to have it in one place. Because of this, you may hear Christian Contemporary Music playing inside He-Brews, which I don't think is inherently wrong, but it is maybe the worst non-secular music to exist, so be prepared with headphones to hear literally anything else. If the macchiato you order is inspiring you to go deeper in your faith, I'd recommend checking out Numero's Good God! Apocryphal Hymns for some much needed fellowship that actually has something to say past the three minute mark. I am not really sure why He-Brews needs to be so strongly associated with its religious method. Nothing about coffee is inherently Christian, but a lot of people deep in faith love to open a cafe. I really don't think opening a coffee shop as a Christian is even a bad thing. I think providing a place of comfort is a great mission to have as a follower of Christ. It's just that they don't advertise any fellowship or promote any charitable concepts. Instead, they have a WiFi password of John 3:16 and say they are inspiring growth. I want to buy it. I want to believe in it, but it all feels surface level. As I left, I noticed the massive load of campaign yard signs outside their building. Nothing says following Jesus Christ quite like endorsing candidates. It's like they realized how good a pun of He-Brews would be and everything else is just trying to make the name work. Maybe that's just me though. RIYL: God's favorite latte

The staff was friendly and moved quickly even with a line on Friday morning. Prairie dog mounds exist on two sides of the building, so it's fun to see them. They are shy, so don't walk to them, but bring and throw some baby carrots out for them! The outdoor patio is huge with a beautiful view of the water and greenery. Parking is all dirt and gravel. If you need a drink to-go, make sure you tell them when ordering because they serve drinks in cute, non-disposable latte cups. I only gave 4 stars because the latte was delicious, but not sure it was the strongest. The He-Brews signature latte is delicious!

Needed to ask to wifi as well instead of it being listed out I got the aspen latte and the apple cider off of the speciality menu. The seasonal menu doesn't have any prices which I also don't like. The aspen latte tasted very off. Maybe something was burnt like the maple syrup or the beans but it wasn't very good in my opinion. My boyfriend thought it was fine just too sweet so maybe it's just my personal preference. I actually liked the apple cider hot, but I wish they gave our drinks in mugs.

Drinks and Matcha This place feels more like a Starbucks than a true matcha café. The drinks they advertise are kind of strange, and they do not really highlight matcha. They mostly categorize it as green tea, which I think makes it difficult for people who are really into matcha. I tried the matcha and the café latte. Both were alright. Not the best I have had, but not bad either. Food I had the beef bulgogi burrito for breakfast. It was good, but smaller than what the photos on the menu showed, which felt falsely advertised. Service and Atmosphere Service was great. The girl handling my order was very friendly. Decent sized coffee shop inside a shopping outlet, and there were a lot of families when I went. I would recommend it as a quick stop if you want coffee, but not for someone who is really into matcha.
