Coyote Coffee (formerly Big Sandy) in Marfa gets five stars from me, with the small caveat that I'm…read moregrading a little on a curve, because... well, it's Marfa, and options are limited. That said, it's a cool spot with great people and I'd happily go back. I ordered their signature breakfast sandwich, egg, bacon, and cheese on a biscuit. It was good, not mind-blowing. The biscuit was a little dry, which was a bummer since that's supposed to be the star of the show. I kept wishing for some butter or sauce to bring it together. On the flip side, I also grabbed a slice of cake and that was excellent, easily my favorite thing I ate there. For drinks, I got a matcha latte. They warned me the matcha was a bit earthy and suggested adding sweetener, which I did. I always wonder if "earthy" is code for lower-quality matcha, if ceremonial matcha doesn't really need sugar, but with the sweetener it was totally fine and enjoyable. The space itself is cute and very Marfa. It's in a converted gas station that's part coffee shop, part vintage clothing store, with vintage motorcycles to keep the gas station theme going. There are only a couple of tables, and it's not really a place I felt like lingering with a book or a laptop. More of a grab-a-coffee-and-move-on kind of spot. If you're visiting Marfa and heading out to explore, it's perfect for that. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. They were attentive, brought my food to the table even though they initially said it would be window pickup, and the place is dog-friendly, very relaxed, and unpretentious. I'd absolutely come back the next time I'm in town.

They make some excellent drinks and the staff is very friendly. The shop is in a old gas station so there is plenty of parking and places to sit inside and out. This is a very chill shop with relaxing vibes in the creative town of Marfa Texas. Marfa, by the way, is a pretty awesome place to visit :)

Love the vibe of this place…read more While visiting Alpine a couple days ago, we stopped in for a coffee. This is a cool place, with comfortable seating, and interesting decor. After a lengthy conversation with the owner (Walter), we learned that some of the decor was his creation (as a fabricator). Today we headed home, leaving Marfa, but heading through Alpine. We decided to stop one last time for coffee, and trying their bagels and cookies. All great choices. I love sourdough and was happy to see that offered it. Everyone is friendly and polite.

I don't remember Cow Dog being here before so after driving by a few times and deciding I could do better than McDonald's as I was leaving town, I dropped in to see what they had to offer. The cashier was friendly and when her credit machine wouldn't work after a bit and all I had was $8 cash, she was gracious and gave me what I wanted at a dollar discount. Extremely reasonable prices for the caliber of breakfast burrito I received. I got the bounty burrito and it was definitely worth the wait! Packed full of roasted potatoes, freshly sautéed bell peppers, chunks of breakfast meat and flavorful egg I was bummed I was leaving and wouldn't be able to enjoy another one on a different day. There's ample inside seating and even more patio seating. There's free street parking, but take into account it's on a one way so plan accordingly. I think people might pass it often because there was a sign on the other one way back to remind you where to turn. I hope this place lasts a long time like all my other favorites up there. Support local businesses when you travel through because you never know what simple delights you'll enjoy unless you try.

My coffee brain said don't leave Marfa without stopping at Big Bend Coffee Roasters…read more So I dropped in on 2.17.2025. The entrances are a bit strange. The far west end where I thought I needed to go was closed. Another door - maybe two - led to employee-only or FedEx or maybe UPS-only areas. Eventually through the fish aquarium-like entrance I saw displays and what seemed like a menu. No one was up front in the surprisingly dusty, dirty room. Or was that ground coffee powder? Lol. After milling around a moment looking at the flavors, I finally saw a doorbell to ring for service on the dang table. I settled on a Vienna roast called "Dark Skies" ($14 per 1-lb. bag) that is rich and smooth just like the packaging says... I tried it today. The nice man who finally assisted me stated that I should try the Toddy blend next time. Love the coffee. Not sure about the setup.

While my wife and I were staying at the Gage Hotel in Marathon for our week-long Big Bend National…read morePark trip, the coffee we tried in our room and at the lobby in the morning were quite good. Even the decaf coffee I tried at night (for some reason, any amount of caffeine keeps me up at night nowadays so I refrain from drinking anything caffeinated after 3 PM or so) was equally good. When we saw that they were roasted by Big Bend Roasters, we made it a point to stop by during our brief stay in Marfa before the long drive back home. After a late lunch at The Water Stop, we checked Yelp and it indicated Big Bend Roasters will remain open until 3 PM. We got there at around 2:30 PM and saw "Closed" sign on a door. Thinking there must be a mistake, I opened another door and must've startled the guy in there in what looked like an area where they bag the beans. In any case he told us to come in via the other door with the "closed" sign. When we came in, we asked if they were closed and he just shrugged and asked us if we knew what we want. My wife told him about the coffee at the Gage Hotel and he knew exactly which ones we wanted. He went back into the room we initially saw him in and bagged the whole bean coffee we requested (2 1-lb bag of Bolivia Caranavi and Decaffeinated Mexico Chiapas). We were charged $13 for each bag! Looking at their website, they charge $15 per bag not including shipping...so glad we stopped by and bought coffee right there to get the discount. While I don't think we'll make the 6.5-hour drive just to buy coffee from them, perhaps we can ask friends visiting the area to stop by. We are now fans and currently savoring coffee from Big Bend Roasters while at home this foggy December morning...nothing like coffee made from freshly ground coffee beans poured from a French press!
