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.

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.

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.

Coffee, white chocolate mocha latte.

The best coffee shop in Taos! The coffee is always great, the food is delicious , and the gelatos is a must try. Not to mention the welcoming customer service especially as a new comer. Lastly the ambiance of the shop, it's warm, pretty, and lots greenery. A great spot to hang out with friends or coworkers.

Great people and coffee! That after just a few days of hanging out in town remembered my order. Which was their great cold brew, by the way. Also, the internet is pretty fast at around 20 mbps down and 33 mbps up! I sure with the Yelp would add an internet speed question to their reviews. Lastly, they play good music!

Good latte but rude staff (which is a pretty fair rating of pretty much any place in Taos: good x, crappy rude service).

Its going to be hard to top this place- if you're in town, visiting, and are looking for the best…read morecup of Joe, this is it. Look no further. (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!

While we were there, several folks came in and were addressed by name, so clearly this is a popular spot for locals to stop in at. Would 100% come back again and highly recommend for good coffee! Just note that there aren't tables here to sit and chill at, only the two little bar seating areas. Also, they prefer cash (they do have an ATM) but also take Venmo and Apple Pay.

Hidden Gem Alert | Taos, New Mexico…read more Some coffee shops announce themselves. Others let the coffee do the talking. Tucked away in Taos is one of the most unassuming coffee shops you'll ever find. From the outside, you might drive right past it. Step inside, though, and you'll immediately understand why there's always a line out the door. My daughter and I each ordered iced lattes. She went with vanilla and oat milk, while I stuck with my go-to combination of oat milk and honey. Both drinks were outstanding. Smooth, balanced, and packed with flavor without being overly sweet. I've had coffee all over the United States and in several countries around the world, and these lattes easily rank among my favorites. The coffee impressed us so much that we couldn't leave without grabbing a bag of their light roast to take home. What stood out just as much as the coffee was the atmosphere. The staff was incredibly welcoming, the service was excellent, and despite the constant flow of customers, everyone was smiling. Yes, you'll probably wait in line--but trust me, it's worth every minute. One funny moment from our visit: I had just found an open table when a gentleman told me, "I was saving that one." I laughed, told him to go right ahead...and then watched him walk over and sit at a completely different table. It gave my daughter and me a good laugh and made for one of those random travel memories you don't forget. Final Verdict: If you're visiting Taos and consider yourself a coffee lover, this place belongs at the very top of your list. Fantastic coffee. Friendly people. A welcoming atmosphere. And a line that tells you everything you need to know before you even take your first sip. Sometimes the best coffee shops aren't the flashy ones--they're the ones that quietly become unforgettable.

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. 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.
