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

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.

Not a bad place to do work but the seats aren't the comfiest and outlets are a bit sparse.

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.

The milk they use truly is great it was creamy and made just right. Not a long wait. The whole cafe is set up super well, lots of spaces to meet up or to study.
