RATING BREAKDOWN Teas: 5 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 5 | Price: 4 PARKING There was a small shared plaza lot. Also, there is a drive-thru window that is parallel to Milwaukee Ave. LOCATION/AMBIANCE ThirsTeas is a walk-in and a drive-thru location. On your first visit and during possible seasonal times, I would suggest walking in to try their wide assortment of sweet and unsweetened teas. They have along wall of dispensers and little Dixie cups for you to sample any flavor you'd like. The tea is kept cold! On the same wall and on their to-go cups you'll see their logo: The state of Texas as a glass of iced tea - so cute and clever. My cup runneth over... It's located at the southwest corner of 34th St and Milwaukee Ave. This is on the southeast side of town with close access to Loop 289. We popped in on Christmas Eve 2022. There were a few cars in line for the drive-thru window and several patrons inside. THE DRINKS & SNACKS + peach habanero sweet tea - I am not a fan of peach anything. My dad brings me peaches and peach-flavored whiskeys all the time. I consume them, but I'm not a fan actually. This turned out to be my favorite tea that I sampled, though, so maybe my dad's onto something. It's so delicious and the spice of the habanero has a good enough kick to where my kids won't sneak any drinks when I'm not looking! + regular sweet tea - this is my second favorite. My oldest daughter loved it too. + coconut tea - my youngest daughter had me try this. We were both shocked we liked it. She drank all of hers quickly. + dill pickle chicharrones (fried pork rinds, $3.49) - were a fun, delicious snack We all grabbed 20-oz. cups which I think were smalls at $2.89 apiece. For their teas, they offer: medium and large cups. They also sell 1/2 gallon ($3.99) and gallon jugs ($5.99 - these prices according to their website). They also sell the following: + reverse osmosis water + alakaline water + sodas + lemonade + bags of ice (nuggets & cubes) + jerky + chips & salsa + various nuts & seeds + popcorn & more LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB No kid's cup sizes. SERVICE The staff members were real busy when we walked in, but we figured the process out. MY FAVORITE PART... The wide variety of flavors! NOT SO FAVORITE PART...

I wish I could've given this store a higher rating because the drinks itself wasn't that bad, the boba however was a bit hard for my liking. This store needs to staff better. There was only one worker and it was clear they were overwhelmed, didn't know how to make certain drinks, and their equipment doesn't even work! Poor worker had to take orders, make drinks, and do the sealing machine (which is supposed to be automatic) BY HAND. Please fix your machines, teach your staff the menu and how to make them, and don't leave one person to man the shop alone

Overall Experience Came here with my girlfriend thinking…read morethis would be more of a specialty matcha spot. Overall it was an okay experience, just not what I expected. Drinks and Matcha This place feels more like a Starbucks than a true matcha café. The drinks they advertise are kind of strange, and they do not really highlight matcha. They mostly categorize it as green tea, which I think makes it difficult for people who are really into matcha. I tried the matcha and the café latte. Both were alright. Not the best I have had, but not bad either. Food I had the beef bulgogi burrito for breakfast. It was good, but smaller than what the photos on the menu showed, which felt falsely advertised. Service and Atmosphere Service was great. The girl handling my order was very friendly. Decent sized coffee shop inside a shopping outlet, and there were a lot of families when I went. I would recommend it as a quick stop if you want coffee, but not for someone who is really into matcha.

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?
