Really eclectic cafe with decent espresso drinks and a great ambience. The location is a plus as well, being towards the northern end of downtown Bryan. read more

We stopped by this coffee shop while staying nearby and, unfortunately, left unimpressed. We ordered a latte and a mocha; both were barely warm and lacked any real espresso flavor, tasting more like warm milk than coffee. On the plus side, the bagel with cream cheese was delicious. But since we came for good coffee, it missed the mark. Also, seating was limited despite having plenty of space; definitely room for more tables and chairs read more

Fun, quirky location in downtown Bryan. Staff was friendly, coffee was legit and fantastic. Will definitely return.

Wow! We were blown away by the pistachio latte. They make their OWN pistachio milk. This place is legit and they know their coffee. They also don't water down the coffee and serve it in a big cup with lots of ice. The ratio of ice to coffee is absolutely perfect. Hands down the best coffee in college station. read more

Had chai latte but it was a little thin. It's got a funky vibe that attracts students. Many students taking up seats to study by themselves.

Update! 1 year later and Tavo still among my fave coffee shops in BCS. It's a true blue fancy coffee shop now - not your average Starbucks, Dutch Bros or other sugary drink place. Quite a few updates have happened since my first visit a little over a year ago. The ordering station & drink pick up have moved from a small temporary station to a more reasonable space just ti the right of the entrance - YAY! AND they grind their beans when making the espresso! this makes me so so happy! read more

Yelper's criticisms of Tavo are too harsh by far. But the basic facts laid out by the other Yelpers are essentially correct. Imagine a world where espresso critics who did not like your coffee Took you down to the basement in a horror movie, And did horrible things to you with sharp implements. If you were that barista, you might consider that treatment somewhat unfair. Assuming you lived to get out of that basement. The barista I met seems to be the "good girl" type. So she might be the teenager that gets out alive. Let's leave aside the comments of reviewers who murder if their coffee is not quite right. How is Tavo as a place to go? *********** As the reviewers say, the room is beautiful. Really beautiful. If I lived in Bryan, I could see working all day and all night at that place. Sweet Eugene's wanted to be the cool room with funky decoration. Tavo really IS the cool room with the funky decoration. Of particular note is the large sculptural/architectural construction in the far back room, that looks like the tailpipes of 38 automobiles made of PVC and painted odd turquoise-y colors. But the random paintings on the wall are particularly well done - and there are lots of nooks and crannies for interesting nook and crannying. Visually, the place is entertainment on a stick. * * * Note that finding a coffee house with good art Is like finding a boyfriend who admires you deeply and really understands your hopes and fears. You don't rid of such a boyfriend lightly. I have had to go to ophthamologists to overcome the eye damage I have suffered from looking at the paintings in rival coffee houses. So I take a well done artistic workspace very seriously. * * * How is the coffee? Uh ... er ... It won't kill you. * * * I go to coffee houses to get work done. I go to houses to be in a room that sets off my creativity and allows me to do my best writing or my best thinking. If the coffee or food is really good, so much the better. But what goes into your mouth does nothing for improving your productivity, short of providing a clinical dose of caffeine or sugar. What goes into your eyes does everything for improving your productivity. So what do you do if you have a beautiful place with ho hum coffee? Order cafe au lait and sneak in your own bag of cookies. * * * In real life, you do not choose people to bed or places to live because of simple physical beauty. Beauty fades. True merit persists. However, when you are picking a place to get work done, Beauty actually does the work. Food or beverage problems can be worked around. It is like going to a museum. The museum cafeteria might be uninspiring. But the Frank Stellas on the wall and the Brutalist staircase that takes you to the second floor ... Those take your spirit to a higher level. * * * Think of Tavo as a feast for your eyes. And if you go down to the basement, Unchain that poor barista who has been put there. I hope she has not lost too much blood. We need her for the sequel. read more

The wait was very long since they were understaffed. But the food and coffee were incredibly delicious and flavorful. And considering how many people were in our book club (22+) the wait time wasn't bad. Apparently they get most of their coffee from their family owned roasting place in Guatemala. I had the drip with a splash of pistachio milk and vanilla bean syrup. Attached is the coffee I have and i'm going to purchase online. read more

Service was slow but only one guy in there so it's okay. I would put at least 2 people on every shift but that's just me. Coffee is mediocre and they only offer 12oz cups, no 16oz. Wtf? And no straws? What kind of coffee place has no straws? I'm so confused. My vanilla latte was mediocre and the mocha latte is awful, must be something wrong w the chocolate syrup. Probably won't go back. However the ambiance is really nice! read more

This is pretty good coffee if you get the standard milk and drink it fast before it gets watered down. Although it is very waterh and not sweet at all if you choose oat milk. We ordered "for here" and upon receiving the coffee, it was in a very small cup, mostly filled with ice, and the type that melts very quickly. It didn't feel like I got a $5 sized coffee. I had gotten the Honey Cinnamon Iced latte before, and it's great if you take it to go. I asked what options they had for food and they had a turkey sandwich with muenster cheese, a sausage and cheese type of kolache, and a blueberry muffin. I decided to go for the sandwich thinking it would be ~$6-$7. My total was $16 for the coffee and sandwich So the sandwich with a side a fruit was basically $10. It shocked me quite a bit, but it was a great and made fresh, just not the price I was expecting. Overall, a nice place, so many seating options, and very quiet too. My friend and I were having issues with the wi-fi though, it would be connected with the exclamation point in the middle of the wi-fi bar, so we had to use our hotspot. Pretty unfortunate to not have access to working wi-fi after paying for a meal and coffee. read more

Tavo Coffee Co - a plate with a toasted sandwich and a bowl of fruit - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bryan, Texas

This place is only getting 3 stars as one of the few coffee places with BCS with ample seating. I also like the bank facade. However, the drinks are overpriced and they charge $1 extra for alternative milks. Sorry I can't tolerate lactose! I've been here on several locations and the service is also slow and lackadaisical. Last time I watched an employee take 10 min to assemble my sandwich while talking to another employee about some gossip and there were customers waiting at the register. She just had a handful of chips in her hand while she was explaining the story. Like girl just put it in the box and finish my order for crying out loud! read more

Had a very nice latte with good, thick foam. Coffee flavor was fine. Hot chocolate was very tasty, almost like caramel flavored. Service was very good. Met the owners who were friendly and talkative. Didn't stay, but the space looks pleasant with entertaining decorations. read more

The vibe here is unbeatable. It is a good place to get some work done or hang with friends. The staff isn't the most organized or direct, and my drink was alright. read more

Like the atmosphere. However, the latte size is ridiculously small and my total was $7. Maybe for 3 sips out of it.

It's so nice to see places like this popping up around the city. After visiting the farmers market. I decided to stop by for a latte. Upon walking in the two gentleman working kindly greeted me, and asked me if I have ever been here before. After saying no. They gave a quick rundown of coffee and where it's sourced. They mentioned they do pour over which I thought was super cool, and unique in my opinion. Their alternative milk selection stood out to me because I've absolutely never seen pistachio milk. I knew I had to try it. While I waited for my coffee I took a look around. The spot is cozy and set up really nice. It accommodates those stopping in quickly. To those who need space to study. In the very back of the store. There's a kitchen that serves towards parties, and a few other things. The only complaint I have about that place is there are no actual Vegan menu options. By the time I got back to the front my coffee was ready for me. This was hands down one of the best lattes I've ever had!! Usually I'm sad when I don't get sweetener added to my coffee since most of the time it's really bitter or super bland. That was not the case with this cup of coffee. It was love at first sip. Thank you Tavo, and the wonderful baristas for creating such a magical experience. It's evident the person who left the one star review just wanted to complain. So they created a false, negative review that does not describe the wonderful baristas, the amazing coffee, or the gorgeous set up this shop has. Go see for yourself, and you too will find your new favorite coffee shop. I recommend a latte made with pistachio milk ;) read more

really cute shop but the lattes were very underwhelming, imagine a latte with no espresso, only milk, a sad cup of milk.

Coffee, but not for coffee people. As a former Barista I can say without a doubt this is some of the most underwhelming espresso I've ever had. First thing is the flow, when you walk through the door the entry way to the seating is blocked by the line for ordering, when you find yourself squeezing though people to get through. *Secondly, they only do 1 size for all their coffee, so if you wanted to pay more for a large, you are out of luck. *Third. The girl who took our order was very short with us and rude, she messed up on our drink order but it's fine, I've had my share as well so I understood. But when we corrected her she seemed bothered and annoyed as she handed the remade drinks we original requested, but now with different milk and no flavoring. not really how i wanted to start my morning. Last but not least the coffee, or if there was any to begin with. The double espresso was so watered down it had almost no taste. Now I've only had around a thousand lattes not to mention have made plenty myself. But this is probably one of the worst ones yet. Ended up throwing away half full. Hopefully they can up their game in the future. But for now Drink at your own risk. read more

The cutest coffee shop! Espresso was delicious and well presented. There is tons of sunlight, plants, and eclectic art to enjoy. This the perfect place to spend the morning doing homework. I'll be back for sure!! read more

Such a great new coffee shop with a phenomenal bakery in the back - The Wild Grain! Highly recommend the iced matcha and the blueberry muffin as well as the Chorizo sandwich (hot tip: ask to add egg to the sandwich)! read more

employees were weird af and coffee shop was confusing. as soon as you walk in, you're at the register to order and employees didn't really even acknowledge me or anything.. wasn't sure if i was supposed to order there or not. when i got my coffee i asked for a straw and the employee rudely reminded me that the coffee cup already comes with a "sip lid". like okay cool i still want a straw.. will not ever be going back. read more
