    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!

    Will always be my favorite coffee shop in Lubbock! The coffee is outstanding, and I love spending my time here. It's a cozy spot that's great for getting work done. While it does get busy, that just shows how loved this place is. Everyone who works here is so kind and consistently goes above and beyond my expectations when it comes to customer service.

    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.

    Tasty cappuccino paired with Red Wing Cooper Mocs.

    I don't live in Lubbock, but I come into town often to visit my family, and this is usually my first stop when I get to Lubbock. I'm fortunate enough to live in an area with some of the best coffee roasters in the country within an hours drive, and Monomyth can stand right there with them. All you need to know is their coffee is on point, and they have the friendliest baristas in the game. In a business that deals with grouchy, uncaffeinated customers on the daily, Monomyth baristas keep pulling shots and greeting everyone by name with a smile. I'm thankful that I've found such a great spot as an out-of-tower, and can't wait for my next trip to Lubbock and next cup of Monomyth coffee. Do yourself a favor and head to Monomyth today!

    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
