For coffee lovers I recommend a pour over with the Santa Isabel beans if you like your syrup or sweet coffee they have a ton of options for you as well.

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

I normally get a cold brew with a sweetened cold foam on top to bring a little sweet to the brew. I asked if they could do that but unfortunately they don't have cold foam. (Definitely need to have on the menu!) Sebastian was working the counter and said we could put a bit of heavy cream in and I decided to try that with a pump of the sugar brown syrup. After a couple minutes, Sebastian brought my drink over to me, and said he tried to do a version of cold foam for me to try. How kind of him! He didn't have to try, and it was a very thoughtful gesture. It turned out good, so I was happy! Definitely give this coffee house a try; they will take care of you for sure!

Good folks, great service, and coffee that'll put a little peace and love in your soul. We'll definitely be back. The bartender even drew a fancy little picture in the foam on my coffee. He kept sneaking looks over his shoulder at me, too. Maybe he somehow knew I'd sampled a couple of gummies earlier and was just watching the good vibes roll in, or maybe he figured an old blue collar hippie like me was liable to hug the espresso machine. Either way, the coffee was outta sight, man , so peace, love, and stop by for some fantastic coffee!

This coffee shop has its own drive-thru on the back of a large commercial building on the southwestern side of Lubbock, TX. The inside has high ceilings. Multiple seating arrangements scattered. Simple yet elegant decor with a clearcut palette of black, gold, brown, and ivory. The most vibrant item was the chalkboard sign with the new roasts and the WI-FI password. For our late afternoon dust storm road trip back home to New Mexico on February 17, 2026, my daughter opted for an iced cappuccino that was deliciously creamy and sweet to her liking. I wanted something much more impactful and caffeinated, so I settled on a Cortado which is basically a shot of espresso with as much steamed milk. It took a while for it to cool down, but it was some of the best espresso I have had in such a long while. I believe there is a second location on Salem Ave. This one closes early.

Overall Experience Came here with my girlfriend thinking…read morethis would be more of a specialty matcha spot. Overall it was an okay experience, just not what I expected. 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.

All in all an amazing place for lunch, breakfast, or a quick bite.

I wish I could've given this store a higher rating because the drinks itself wasn't that bad, the boba however was a bit hard for my liking. This store needs to staff better. There was only one worker and it was clear they were overwhelmed, didn't know how to make certain drinks, and their equipment doesn't even work! Poor worker had to take orders, make drinks, and do the sealing machine (which is supposed to be automatic) BY HAND. Please fix your machines, teach your staff the menu and how to make them, and don't leave one person to man the shop alone
