I normally review breweries but I have missed out on coffee shop reviews. I travel for work and…read morehit local breweries and coffee shops when in town. I arrived in the morning and had a couple hours before my meeting so I decided to find some local coffee instead of beer. Service and flavor: Ordered at the counter then found a good spot and got my laptop going to catch up on work. Coffee was delivered with a cool cup (no plastic) and extra carafe. It was so good I ordered refills. It is so much fun to try local roasts that differ from the mainstream., My server was super nice and took care of me. God bless Texas! Ambiance: I felt so at easy there. Several others like me were working. Wasn't too loud but not a library either. I will be back in town in a couple months but will be sure to plan my trip to spend an hour or so here.

Bandera coffee is really top notch!…read more As you can see from my pictures, I've been here a few times whenever I'm visiting from out of town and from the first time to the most recent a few things have changed. What hasn't changed? The quality of their drinks! Bandera continues to be consistent in delivering a wonderful experience from their friendly baristas to their quality drinks. The seating area is cozy and this most recent time they had a DJ to add some life to the vibe. The matcha latte and pour over were both fantastic and is a great place to stop by if you're heading back north out of the valley or if you're just in the area. Parking and seating are pretty fair given its size, and Bandera sets a vibe where you can work, catch up with a friend, or just simply enjoy a great cup of caffeine to elevate your day.

It was perfect as an afternoon pick me up for the doctor's office for whom I bought the cookies for. Will 100% order from them again! They also had different kinds of coffee and boba drinks too!
