I've been to many, many coffee shops through my early adult years, but the first I started going to…read moreon a frequent basis was The Foundry, located right off the downtown square of Tyler, sitting on the first floor just beneath Bethel Bible Church. Though The Foundry is ultimately connected to Bethel as their nonprofit, and many Bethel members spend time there, it misses the mark of being what feels like a "Christian coffee shop". Instead feels like a coffee shop that is driven by God, which is a very important difference to make. The Foundry is welcoming to all and is a place of peace for all. Their space is quite large, with plenty of tables of all sizes in the back, bar seating, and more. There is an outside coffee garden space that is peaceful if you happen to be around during the three weeks where Texas weather is bearable. There are also a few tables in front of the shop. There's a room that always displays local artists' work. The Foundry roasts all their own beans under Porch Culture. The team behind Porch Culture seems to have a genuine care and passion for coffee roasting, which they obviously benefits from. Certain days in the shop, you can see them roasting and experimenting in the back. I, of course, had to leave with a bag of beans to take back to Austin with me. Recently, upon my trip back home, I had a vanilla latte of theirs, which was great, plus a cinnamon roll, which was delectable. They can get pretty busy on a Sunday before a Bethel service starts, but their team usually seems on top of it most times I visit and are all very friendly and talkative. I missed The Foundry. From my time in high school when I'd go to study, or through college breaks where I used it to get out of the house and work on side projects, it was a great place to hide out, and it still is as good as I remember. RIYL: That warm coffee smell and a good co-working space.

We went as far as Lake Athens to the Athens Boathouse Bar and Grill (which we knew was closed), to check out the location. We tooled around Athens just enjoying the Sunday. Having been to the Fisheries and the Botanical Garden before, we were looking for a different place to stop. A quiet offbeat place with food and sweet treats was what I had in mind. Callaways Coffee and Bistro popped up as a little house with adorable photos and lovely reviews and off we went. It was perfect. They have REAL FOOD here. I tried to reproduce the menu, but seriously they have pages of breakfast, salads and sandwiches. And COFFEE, of course. I had this amazing 100% Angus patty Cheeseburger - an enormous perfectly cooked patty. ($9.95) My husband ordered the Ragun Cajun, a spicy Chicken breast on ciabatta that he loved. ($9.95) They still had pie, blondies, cookies and assorted yummy sweet treats under glass. I had the Buttermilk pie with a Tender crust and totally delicious filling! ($2.75) Our server was a terrific young man; personable, helpful and a good cook! We had a good time. The bathroom is Unisex and clean. There is plenty of seating. We sat at a regular dining table, but there are plenty of tables for two or three in addition to chairs and sofas. Most parking is street side. I'm looking forward to coming back!

What is the best coffee in Tyler? What's my favorite coffee shop I've ever been to? The answer to…read moreboth is Brady's. A local Tyler establishment open for 30 years and named after the owner, Brady's Coffee was there before a Starbucks reached Tyler. Brady's might have been one of the first true coffee shops in Tyler, Texas, and it is definitely the longest running. Even in 2026, the coffee is as good as ever. For the most part, James Brady himself is slinging beans and creating masterpieces. Alongside Mr. Brady is his team of young baristas working under the maestro, taking orders and helping him where he needs it. Brady's hours have now expanded, but the quality has remained. Upon revisiting Tyler, I was very excited to go to Brady's again. As we walked through the Azalea and Brick Street districts of Tyler, we landed on the classic off white building with a green awning. Walking in, there were a few people ahead of us in line. Some ordering drip, some getting a specialty beverage, and me and my girlfriend with big smiles. The prices are still as affordable as ever, especially as places are charging $6.50 for a latte now. Brady's is selling drip for $2.50 for 16 oz, a latte for $4.50, and espresso for $2. What a steal. As we ordered, they asked if I wanted cinnamon on top of the latte, a Brady's classic. I obviously said of course. My girlfriend, with her cappuccino with a little bit of chocolate, was asked if she wanted chocolate shavings. She said no, and I told her she was crazy. She said yes after I protested her choice. We took a seat at the most iconic chairs in Brady's, the Sinners Only chair and the God Bless America chair. I got my girlfriend to sit in the Sinners chair without knowing. Inside, there's plenty of charming decor, from the "customer is rarely right" stickers. A little wait later, our drinks were brought to us. Grateful Dead played over the speakers. The music at Brady's is always on point. My girlfriend was very impressed by the cappuccino. To her, it tasted classic. The chocolate shavings were really nice according to her. My latte was also fantastic as always. What's amazing is how welcoming Brady's feels to all. It has this natural hometown feel and though the owner is strong in his religion, Brady's doesn't have Christian coffee shop "vibes" where only a certain group feels welcomed. We went back a few days later, and she got a mocha. She was impressed that it was a true mocha using real chocolate like cocoa powder versus chocolate flavorings or chocolate sauce. I told her Brady's does it differently. I dream about Brady's. There is this classiness to it that is missing from most places. It's not trying to be something it's not. It is never trying too hard. It's just a classic coffee shop. It feels like 2004 inside with a little touch of Global Village Coffeehouse. Maybe some of the best coffee I've ever had when you step back and take it all in. Thank you, James Brady. RIYL: Coffee. Like good coffee.

I am taking off one star because of how they handle tips. Rather than tips going directly toward the employees, they are "dispersed at the manager's discretion....

The owner wrote all this in a recent response to a review, and I feel that this is a bit misleading for customers when they leave tips. Otherwise, an excellent coffee shop!
