We were desperately looking for coffee for several hours as we toured sights north of Santa Fe on our way to Taos. Nothing! How excited we were to see this shop. And delighted that the coffee was really good! Strong and smooth. Comfortable seating both inside and outside. Pastries wrapped in cellophane didn't look very appealing, but there is gelato. Pricing moderate. read more

Running from the monsoon that's coming in from the west, we're stopping in for an afternoon tasty treat. Went for a decaf white mocha. It's hot, frothy, and not too bad! Plenty of seating inside, this place is designed for you to hang out and stay a while. Comfy chairs, lots of tables and plenty of bakery treats to compliment your afternoon coffee as you plunk away at your keyboard working on the next great American novel. I look forward to coming back and getting our usual- this place looks like it could be a regular joint for us. read more

Taos has some great coffee shops on this end of town is probably my favorite. One of the biggest issues with Taos right now is the traffic. And trying to get from one end of town to the other just for a cup of coffee is a little annoying so it's nice that each side of Taos has a really good coffee shop. read more

What an amazing experience this place was. All around great place. The location and parking is good. Off the beaten path. But yet really easy to find. Service was top notch. You can really tell customer service is their top priority next to cleanliness. They have you covered with their variety foods treats and drinks. This is a must stop the next you are in the Taos area. I know that my wife and i will be coming back. So skip all the big chain coffee shops and make this your go to. It's well worth the effort. read more

Roasted: found Elevation while staying in El Prado. Cute coffee shop off the main road with good parking and seating. Overall the inside and decor I like - it's decorated with local art and plants but the chairs are uncomfortable and don't fit in with the decor. Very friendly baristas and we were greeted and thanked by both. Good selection of sugar free flavors including my favorite hazelnut. We were able to get our lattes for here (after asking for them in mugs) but still got to sit inside and enjoy our coffee. The latte was near perfect - just a bit too hot to drink right away. Taste, espresso, flavor all were right on and we got nice hearts as latte art! I would definitely come back for another latte here. Unroasted: the giant red coffee cup makes this place easy to spot from the road which is appreciated. 6 tables and plenty of seats inside with about the same outside. This place screams southwest and it's pretty amazing. This is one of those coffee shops I could sit and relax for awhile. Plenty to see and interesting people coming thru. The staff was very friendly and greeted upon entering! The vibe here is very chill and laid back. Love that they had sugar free flavors and ordered my usual. I did have to state I was drinking it here to get a mug but it was worth it. Latte art was ok point! I do wish it was not as hot as I got it. I would highly recommend this place if you cruising thru. read more

I've been trying all the various coffee shops in town and I must say, so far the least inexpensive highly caffeinated cup I have had yet was the medium roast from Elevation. I ended up utilizing that burst of caffeine to my benefit and got a solid hour of work done, and a second cup , while i cranked out some words to the page. The wifi stayed solid the whole time I was there and the counter folk are friendly and attentive. I was happily left in my own zone and was able to focus. That's the vibe I often look for inna coffee shop. read more

They really did elevate my day! Can't think of a better way to have ended my camping trip than a drive back and a pit stop for honestly one of the best cups of chai I have ever had! This amazing drink was composed of being a Dirty Chai with a shot of vanilla all combined into a medium cup. It was sweet while still being rich from the espresso. Just a side note they only accept cash or check, we didn't have any so because I was craving it so bad we went to an ATM came back and I'm soo happy we did because it was so worth it! read more

Officially my favorite place to get coffee in the morning. After trying out all the other shops and markets around town, the experience of coming here and the quality of the coffee is hands down the best in Taos. I haven't had a bad cup of coffee here, or a bad experience here yet at all in the past 2 years i've been coming here. (Yes I've been secretly comparing all the places around town) I am always happy to see Shawn the owner and Salman my barista! They brighten my morning and get me happily caffeinated, ready to go to work. I would rather go the extra mile and get coffee from Elevation when I can now because I know I will just be disappointed everywhere else. I recommend the same for you if you're reading this! read more

Specialties

Elevation Coffee Shoppe is proud to provide fair trade, organic teas and coffees. We use Agapao espresso beans. "Agapao" - is the greek word for love-meaning to be full of good will and exhibit the same. We that being said, we take great care to pull every shot with perfection. To go along with our drinks, we serve pastries, bagels and burritos made from local Taos and Santa Fe Bakeries. Our Gelato is imported from Palazallo's and reminds those who have traveled to Italy of their daily indulgence. We have created a warm and friendly atmosphere that has been called "the hub" of Taos. Our local clientelle is by far the best mix of Taoseno's you will ever meet, from ranchers to artists, poets to pro snowboarders.

We were so excited to check this place out as we had heard many great things, and that was the first spot of the day kicking off our anniversary. The person at the counter taking orders was extremely rude and unprofessional when it was our turn. She was condescending on every question we asked since it was our first time in. We were curious what the signature latte was since it doesn't tell you on the menu "It's..rosemary?" and then rings up said latte and huffs and puffs like a child when we said we were gonna do two iced lattes "Ugh okay lemme take the signature latte off the order". We go to order breakfast sandwiches but there's a sign that says "No bagels" no big deal, we asked her what do they come on instead "Sourdough....." with the rudest tone and look on their face. My partner asked if she can get a side of tomato jam for her sandwich to a response of "Ya I don't know probably"..at this point I was ready to leave as I am in the industry myself and have been so for 20 years and I'm not gonna let anyone treat me like that. We stuck around though as it was our anniversary and this place was recommended by many others when we told them we were going to Taos for our celebration. Coffee took 20 minutes to make two iced lattes, food took another 30ish and they weren't that busy either. We waited so long that someone who worked there eventually came up and asked if we needed help with anything- we stated we were waiting on our order and they said it was gonna be another 10 minutes. All that waiting around for burnt sourdough, half melted cheese, and bland sausage. Kitchen seemed frazzled although it wasn't busy, felt like they threw our food together to start cleaning the kitchen to close, although we weren't there near closing time. The tab was also somehow $52 for two iced coffees and two mediocre breakfast sandwiches..talk about a ripoff. I haven't even had breakfast that expensive in Aspen or Jackson Hole. One star because the coffee was really good, and the bathroom was cool but that's about it. Everything else about the experience there was lackluster, and I will not recommend this place to anyone who visits Taos. This experience was so awful that I had to send in an email in hopes they respond/take my feedback and improve on things, but I will not go back next time I'm in town personally to see if these issues have changed. Mainly due to the woman at the counter but also the food was very underwhelming especially for the steep price.

Adorable (well, everything is adorable in Taos; it's the southwestern charm for sure!) but it's more than what its appearance says it all. You have to try their products and see for yourself. What I got me were a few bon bons and a chocolate torte (the whiskey kind). -Miso Caramel: is shaped like a mushroom. Even if you might not be a fan of miso based (everything), you should try these bon bons anyway as they don't taste like miso at all. I was quite shocked with this myself (well, I like miso soup; miso taste doesn't bother me at all. Even so, Miso chocolate candy was something I didn't know what to expect out of. That is why I am saying that I was surprised by it.) -New Mexico , Spicy: was also surprising. The kick in these tiny pieces was quite mighty and yet it was tolerable. -Whisky Torte: All sorts of organic ingredients are used to make these delightful tortes. Tortes tend to be a lot heavier than traditional cakes as their texture is that of fudge. And yet, that shouldn't be a reason for you to steer clear from it as this chocolatier perfected the torte in a way that it will not be too rich or heavy for your taste or stomach. At least that is what I thought when I tasted it. Another must-try item on their menu offerings. For its interior, it's mostly and simply grey on walls but this emits the "chicness" that doesn't overshadow the theme of its business. You should also pay attention to the ceilings and the floors. A careful attention to entertain the guests' eyes is seen throughout. Service was good. I first went here late in the afternoon (close to its closing time). I quickly glanced at each section of the store inside. The kind gentleman upfront wanted to assist me but after asking him if it was open tomorrow (it would be Sunday), he said yes to which I gave him my promise that I would be back tomorrow. The same man assisted me when I was back the very next day to make a purchase. Not sure if he remembered me or not. It's not chocolate bon bons or tortes you can enjoy at this store. The café offers tasting trios, mocha, chocolate mouse, ice cream, affogato, hot chocolate, and espresso and so on. This is a haven for chocolate fanatics.

Thankfully, we still ended up finding a good alternative: Strawberry Ice Cream Sammich with homemade vanilla ice cream. Now, anyone who knows me knows I love chocolate way more than vanilla. However, this was quite possibly the best vanilla ice cream I've ever had! It was incredible! The cookies for the sammich were pretty sweet on their own, so the homemade ice cream definitely helped with that. I also tried one of their homemade Salted Caramels, but I wasn't a fan of them. The kind owner gave my guy and I some treats for our dogs to try and they loved it! I really wish I had bought a whole bag for them because they are packed with great ingredients and they were very fresh. Highly recommend if you find yourself in the area!

Manzanita Market

Manzanita Market was a godsend for us while we were in Taos. My wife has several food allergies, so…read moretraditional New Mexican cuisine is very difficult if not impossible for her. We came here on the first full day in Taos after a recommendation from a local shop owner. The avocado toast with a sorrel paste was extremely tasty. The avocado was creamy, the sourdough toast was perfectly toasted and the sorrel paste gave the dish a spark that made every bite a pleasure. The huevos rancheros were outstanding. The beans were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The green and red chile sauces were both on point and better than what I got at more well-known restaurants in town. The smoothies and chai masala were very creamy and tasty. Additionally, the vegan potato and corn chowder was a delicious lite lunch item. Very pleasant service as well. We came here every day and had terrific meals each time.

Chokolà

Very friendly, fast & efficient young person…read more The trio of chocolates were out of this world, 1 passion fruit, Mexican, and coffee ganache. I want more. No seats inside but lots of treats.

This chocolatier located in the heart of Taos is something I wish had existed in the very…read moreneighborhood in Denver. Adorable (well, everything is adorable in Taos; it's the southwestern charm for sure!) but it's more than what its appearance says it all. You have to try their products and see for yourself. What I got me were a few bon bons and a chocolate torte (the whiskey kind). -Miso Caramel: is shaped like a mushroom. Even if you might not be a fan of miso based (everything), you should try these bon bons anyway as they don't taste like miso at all. I was quite shocked with this myself (well, I like miso soup; miso taste doesn't bother me at all. Even so, Miso chocolate candy was something I didn't know what to expect out of. That is why I am saying that I was surprised by it.) -New Mexico , Spicy: was also surprising. The kick in these tiny pieces was quite mighty and yet it was tolerable. -Whisky Torte: All sorts of organic ingredients are used to make these delightful tortes. Tortes tend to be a lot heavier than traditional cakes as their texture is that of fudge. And yet, that shouldn't be a reason for you to steer clear from it as this chocolatier perfected the torte in a way that it will not be too rich or heavy for your taste or stomach. At least that is what I thought when I tasted it. Another must-try item on their menu offerings. For its interior, it's mostly and simply grey on walls but this emits the "chicness" that doesn't overshadow the theme of its business. You should also pay attention to the ceilings and the floors. A careful attention to entertain the guests' eyes is seen throughout. Service was good. I first went here late in the afternoon (close to its closing time). I quickly glanced at each section of the store inside. The kind gentleman upfront wanted to assist me but after asking him if it was open tomorrow (it would be Sunday), he said yes to which I gave him my promise that I would be back tomorrow. The same man assisted me when I was back the very next day to make a purchase. Not sure if he remembered me or not. It's not chocolate bon bons or tortes you can enjoy at this store.

(Coming from someone who's reviewed 57 coffee shops in 5+ states) We're calling it a Top 5 best cup of coffee. Last morning in town, and we wanted to try another spot, grateful (as always) to the yelp reviews that brought us here. Ordered the usual: decaf flat white with heavy cream. Appreciated that the staff spent a moment asking clarifying questions to ensure we were speaking the same coffee language. Waiting for our drinks, we peruse the shop- plenty to keep your eye busy and LOTS of personality to let you know THIS is the kind of place you want to your hard earned dollars to support. First sips of our drinks and it's robust and coffee forward. We LOVE when the coffee is strong enough to stand up to the heavy cream. I could tell within to sips that this would be the place I'll drop into, grab a flat white, and then head over to the library for a good quiet morning. The shop is just on the edge of the downtown plaza, minimal parking but more than enough space to grab your Joe and go. 5 stars, all the way!

This place was outstanding. I almost went far out of my way the next day to have another cup. My…read moretest for good coffee is to order a straight up Americano and see how that tastes without any thing added to it. To me that is the truth serum and here it far exceeded expectation, big wow
