    When I first started school at Texas Tech, I was looking for a good coffee shop to study and spend my time at. For a while, whenever I asked for recommendations, I was always told J&B Coffee. I went there for the first time in 2022 believing they would be the coffee that saved me and truly show me what West Texas coffee roasters and brewers have to offer. Oh buddy, I was wrong. I want to start by saying the atmosphere of J&B is incredible. Inside feels like a time capsule to the early 2000s coffee craze with their beverage menu written on a chalkboard, the brick and wood decor, the massive windows bringing natural light into the building, and the space being large and welcoming. There are a few areas to choose from at J&B which include the busy and social front space, the back room for focus and quiet, the upstairs conference room for group meetings, and the outdoor wrap around seating that is typically shaded for a nice afternoon chat. The staff is always very friendly especially with how slammed J&B seems to be on a frequent basis with a line usually reaching the door. Their aesthetic is extremely welcoming. It is like a mistrusting hug. A false sense of comfort before you actually get your beverages. Regardless of getting an espresso based beverage hot or iced, I think it is the worst coffee in Lubbock. I have gotten grounds in my coffee, burnt beans, and straight up unfinishable beverages from J&B, and it is disappointing every time. Last time I went, I tried the Sopapilla Latte which was their September Cause Drink featuring horchata powder, honey, and cinnamon, and it just did not do it for me again. My girlfriend and I went back to see if anything had improved, but our verdict remained the same which was not good. I was an officer in an organization at Tech and during our meetings one officer always suggested J&B. We would go biweekly and their beverages became so unbearable to me that I started exclusively ordering London Fogs to avoid espresso. They started recognizing me for ordering London Fogs frequently. Their pastries are usually pretty good. I have had banana nut bread and blueberry muffins from there that are excellent. They also have a kitchen where they serve sandwiches and other items that people seem to enjoy. I have not tried a meal there. My girlfriend told me she had to stop going to J&B because the smell was so putrid to her. She described it as a coffee smell that was not aromatic and warm but comparable to a coffee left on the counter with creamer in it until it reaches its lukewarm state of tragic existence. You could leave J&B in the evening and sometimes the glorious smell of cow dookie blowing in the wind like Bob Dylan would be comparable to being inside. It is like visiting that one buddy who swears he is not addicted to the broccoli and you throw your clothes in the washer and pray the smell leaves your cotton tees. I do like that they are open pretty late compared to the other heavy hitters in Lubbock. I was working on my graduate thesis and needed to get out of the house after many hours at the library, so I opted for J&B. It worked for that experience, but I ordered a tea. Another plus is their massive cork bulletin board which makes J&B a perfect hub for finding events in the community, clubs and organizations for the hoards of college kids stepping inside every week, and more like piano lessons or people needing someone to join a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. They also host a lot of events from live music to trivia and comedy shows which is also pretty awesome. After this last visit, I finished my latte and found remaining grounds in my coffee. It was disappointing because their space deserves love for being a perfect hub of productivity, but they do not have the product to back it up. A lot of people I know do not go to J&B as their personal choice. Someone else always suggests it for a group project or meeting, and then you find out they only come for the J&B Arnold Palmer which leaves you choosing between the most mediocre espresso drink of your life. A triple bogey. I want to love J&B more, I really do, but it continues to haunt the residents of Lubbock and the students of Texas Tech. It welcomes you with a beautiful atmosphere then reveals itself to be a heel with its evil all along coffee. A wolf in sheep's clothing. A wolf in an apron, maybe? RIYL: Torturing your partners in a group project but loving a good atmosphere.

    Have not stopped hearing good things about this place. We had to come check it out and it did not disappoint! The ambiance was very coffee shop-esque and the coffee was as good as any other shop in town. Would definitely recommend and will be coming g back

    This girl was RUDE!! Bad attitude, obviously didn't want to be there.

    Our first impression of Lubbock was visiting J&B Coffee Co. and wow were we ever disappointed!! The whole coffee shop vibe is cute but overrun with students who are taking an entire table to themselves. They appeared to have bought one tiny drink to justify hanging out all day. Even though there is signage on the door that says, NO OUTSIDE FOOD & DRINKs, everyone in there was openly and obviously enjoying their own outside snacks & drinks. There was nowhere for people like us to sit. We told the girl who was taking our order that we were from out of town and would like to try one of their most popular drinks. Her attitude was zero, didn't want to be there, she could have cared less if we bought anything. We ordered two frappe smoothies for $18.00 -- they were okay. We found two chairs in the corner. The table top was dirty and sticky, I asked the same girl if she could wipe the table down. Even though they were not busy, she made us wait. This was our only moment to take a break so we assumed that since other people were leisurely eating snacks from outside that it was okay for us to do it too. We had one donut to share between the two of us and before we broke it in half, she hastily came over to us with a rude attitude and explained that we couldn't have outside food, then asked us to leave. It was very embarrassing. We didn't argue the fact that everybody had drinks and food from outside the coffee shop but certainly felt targeted. Exactly why, I would only be guessing. My first thought was to write a YELP review about our experience. I was very disappointed to see that this business is not claimed on Yelp and that the owner probably has no idea that this is happening in their coffee shop. From one Texas Tech to another, don't support this coffee shop!! FYI: Looks like there's a new place across the street that would love to have your business called, Brule Bakery!

    Best local coffee shop in LBK! J&B is the perfect spot to stop for delicious pastries (their fluffy scones are to die for!), great coffee and tea, and a relaxing environment with tons of indoor and outdoor seating. Service and experience are consistent and they always decorate for the season making it a cozy place to hunker down for hours with coffee/tea flowing.

    Stopped for a coffee and all was well. Place is neat and welcoming. Staff is friendly & efficient, Americano Coffee was good. Didn't try anything "fancy" in terms of coffee prep or food but Coffee hit the spot!

    Iced Lubbock High latte and a breakfast sandwich
    Scott B.

    Nice, open coffee shop close to the TTU campus. Lots of indoor & outdoor seating with a mix of ages here this Sunday morning. My iced Lubbock High coffee was smooth and tasty. The breakfast sandwich was on a nicely toasted English muffin and had good flavor- a bit teeny though.

    Neat decor.

    When we walked into Gold Stripe Coffee Roasters, the young lady who held the fort down was doing…read morejust that. She was friendly, fast, and efficient. She knew her stuff too! 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.

    More expensive than the cactus alley location but maybe it's because of what I ordered. I like this…read morespace more because it larger and comfier in terms of seating. I got the gingerbread latte (seasonal) and the iced vanilla honey with oat milk which was okay. I wish they served our drinks in reusable cups like the cactus alley location because it's ~ cozier and eco friendly ~ but that's okay. Not bad

    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 environment is very relaxing sitting next to a pond and walking trail without anything else…read morearound, yet it's still close to downtown and Tech. 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!
