    In my never-ending journey to find the best latte, there are only a few places I consider supremely the best of the best. Maybe it is college nostalgia or maybe it's just the foundation they built me on, but Monomyth in Lubbock, Texas, is easily some of the best coffee I have ever had. Located off Broadway in a tiny house, Monomyth opened its doors in 2019. It took me until the summer after my sophomore year in 2022 to try them. Rookie mistake. The interior is this beautiful light wood mixed with white walls, white metallic chairs, and touches of red throughout the building. It's simply cozy. It feels like a coffee shop in a house because truly that's all it is. Every beverage I've had at Monomyth, I've enjoyed. My standard weapon of choice is a hot lavender latte with oat milk, which is always served in a beautiful red ceramic cup. Sometimes I'll go for iced beverages. I tried an espresso tonic there for the first time and hated that espresso could have bubbles, but found myself ordering it time and time again throughout the summer. Their fall Firefall Latte is fantastic, and often, I find myself going back to their seasonal menus because they have it down to a science. I think espresso-based drinks have to be espresso-forward to the right degree. I've had many lattes that are too flavorful and sugary or too milky. Monomyth seems to nail the ratio every time, making their hot drinks balance perfectly from the flavor shots to the milk to the espresso rooted at the bottom of the cup. It's like 2000s Spurs basketball, where everyone on the floor is assisting. They also bring in pastries from the local Brûlée Bakery, which includes kolaches, homemade Pop-Tarts, cinnamon buns, muffins, almond croissants, and more. I find Monomyth one of the best places to work. Their atmosphere is excellent, their staff is super accommodating, and there is just this bubble of productivity going around the place even more so than your average coffee shop. Many textbooks were read at Monomyth, many essays were written at Monomyth, I scripted at Monomyth, I did remote work at Monomyth. If a task can be done on a computer, it should be done at Monomyth. When you go there often enough, you start meeting the regulars, and they all have great stories to share. You start to feel like part of the neighborhood. I can't recommend Monomyth enough. When I visit, I always have to bring a bag of their freshly roasted beans back to Hutto with me, and sometimes I make my girlfriend grab a bag when she comes to visit. My one piece of advice is to know that Friday mornings are always the busiest Monomyth will be. You may not even find a place to sit. Just be warned. Everyone I like in my life likes Monomyth. If you live in Lubbock, become a regular. If you're visiting, stop by. If you're neither, figure that out on your own time. RIYL: The best thing ever.

    This is by far my favorite coffee shop in Lubbock. We stopped by Monomyth Coffee before heading out of town. When you arrive parking can be a bit difficult with some parking available on the street and also across broadway. Additionally, this coffee shop tends to be busy and it may be hard to find a seat. When you walk up to the coffee shop you'll see a converted house that has turned into the coffee shop. When you walk in you'll feel like you're in a friend's house having a cup of coffee. To order you'll want to approach the counter to order with the barista. I ordered the vanilla latte which was excellent and don't forget to ask for a ceramic for your coffee as the baristas are great at latte art. I can't say enough good things about this coffee shop. Definitely stop by if you are in the area.

    Whether you are a local college student, a remote worker, or just a person in search of a good cup of Joe, Monomyth has something for you. Every drink I've tried has been excellent (special shout out to the Brown Butter Latte on the seasonal menu). While I normally skip pastries with coffee, but it's hard to say no when I'm here, especially to the gluten free muffins which are moist and delicious. Tip: if you want a table for working or studying, get there early. It gets busy fast!

    very adorable barn house aesthetic cafe, great place to study gets really busy really fast the maple bar was dry and flat, but flavor wise was pretty good. the fall drink did taste like fall in a cup, but in a different way than i'm used to. it was still kind of milky and slightly savory overall would come just to study

    Vanilla Matcha Latte

    Super cute coffee shop, the staff was very friendly, there were lots of seating options inside & outside, parking is limited though. I got a hot vanilla matcha latte & I think it's great! Would recommend

    Really cute and quiet coffee shop that is perfect for getting work done. I really loved how each section of the store was closed off and secluded. The coffee was good not great. If your looking for taste there is certainly better options, but if you just need a place to hang out and relax this is perfect!

    In town for the weekend for my brothers graduation and wanted to check this place out. Their espresso is probably the best I've ever had and that's a bold statement coming from someone who's been to many coffee shops. I got an iced bourbon maple latte with whole milk and a hot chai latte! I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the mood for great coffee and vibes!

    Cutest coffee shop so close to the Tech campus! I would have absolutely loved having this as an option back when I was a student. The interior is cute and cozy - perfect for hanging out or getting work done. I also appreciated the quality of the espresso and the top-tier latte art. The espresso was not as much on the acidic side for my own preference, but I still could tell the beans were of high quality, and I still enjoyed my cup. Definitely worth a visit when in Lubbock.

    Good space inside, friendly service. I can't say the pastries were very good--had a cookie as well as the sausage pastry.

    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 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!

    When I first started school at Texas Tech, I was looking for a good coffee shop to study and spend…read moremy 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?
