There's no sugarcoating my feelings for Borderland; an absolute wonderful coffee shop where you can…read moreget tasty coffee, pastries, listen to eccentric music, and purchase unique gifts. Finding the place thanks to YELP, I went here nearly every day during my week 1 Laredo work trip where they made my peppermint latte perfectly every time. You'll find yourself laughing, cringing, then laughing again at the display of mugs and artifacts with their creative sayings and IDGAF attitude. I was so captivated upon seeing it that I bought a mug from them since the message about sarcasm on the mug called my name. I may purchase another one there next time I find myself in Laredo. Impressive Borderland!

This coffee place was a great find. The hotel I stayed at had a tear off pad of local coffees and a self taken coffee tour in support of Laredo tourism. The vibe was great, and the baristas were friendly. I asked for a cortado which was not on the menu and they had no problems making it. That's when I know they are a real barista. The baked items are self serve and included biscotti and muffins. Every ounce of this coffee spot oozed creativity and uniqueness. There was so much to take in and absorb. Enjoyed this spot and encourage a try to anyone traveling into Laredo for work. Will definitely be back.

You walk into a huge assortment of fresh baked goods that were no doubt delicious. We found a table and ordered some drinks while we waited for the rest of our group. I had a hot dirty chai. It was sweet and tasty, but not hot enough. I'm thinking the iced would have been better. No stars removed though because when the food came, I was blown away. I ordered the lox on sourdough and a side salad. The plate was beautifully presented. I dug into the salad first and OMG! The dressing was magical. It was bursting with fresh flavors, bright lemon zest, maybe a hint of Dijon. It was so good. I'm would order the salad over and over if I could, but salads aren't on the menu. The main course was equally mind blowing. The bread was soft and chewy, the salmon was accompanied by lots of capers, dill, cream cheese, and cucumbers. It was a perfect combination. My other complaint is that they don't open earlier, but I also don't live here so I can't be too mad. I will visit again!

I don't expect a smile, to each their own, BUT I was asking questions about the menu, and she would just walk away. I made the line, I waited for my turn for her to make it seem as I was giving her more work or being a bother. I didn't get her name but she is the skinny girl. In addition, the establishment is small, so there is no door between the kitchen and the counter, so the blender was heard. With the blender noise and the customers talking; I couldn't hear/understand the employee. HORRIBLE!! Lastly, this is MY 2 cents, the decor found on the table is nice YET the wall decor are not appropriate for the establishment. No need to have frames that say Just DIY... especially when your customers are from all areas and stop by to the establishment to enjoy a meal despite what is transpiring in life or having lost someone by suicide. There is a snack place right next door. That one is AMAZING!

But this visit reminded me that smaller cities can have really diverse, inclusive, and thoughtful food scenes too. The menu has so much to choose from. There are plenty of classic plant-based American-style dishes, but what I loved most was the large selection of Hispanic-inspired options, including tacos, burrito bowls, and other dishes that felt connected to the region. I ordered the fishless tacos, which came with three tacos filled with soy-based "fish," purple cabbage, avocado, and chipotle sauce, served with a bowl of lentil soup. It was a massive and very filling meal, especially with the protein, avocado, and soup. The space itself was clean, spacious, and inviting without being overdone. It was pretty busy when I went for lunch on a Friday, which was great to see. They also brought out a small complimentary appetizer with chips, nopales, spicy tomato salsa, and a sprinkle of cheese, which was a fun and flavorful start to the meal. Needless to say, I couldn't finish everything. I ate the tacos but had to leave some of the lentil soup because it was just so much food. They also have frozen yogurt and desserts, plus an area with packaged products you can buy to take home. I even noticed advertisements for El Quinto Sol at the airport, so it seems like they're a well-known local staple. I'm really glad a restaurant that caters to vegetarian diets is thriving in the community, and I think it's a huge asset to Laredo.
