Adorable coffee shop off the beaten path with an equally adorable owner. It's an older home that's been renovated into a coffee spot, but they have plenty of seating options. Coffee was great! Check it out read more

Absolutely adorable coffee shop with friendly staff and delicious pastries. Worth getting off I 25 to check out!

Great place, we hunt their ranch as well! Great service and their green chili burritos are so good!!

Very clean and yet welcoming! Especially after many miles of "nothing" . Nowhere inviting within many miles,for a restroom and coffee break,certainly. We were instantly greeted in a warm way . The pastry case was fully yet quickly explained . My lemon danish and partner's cinnamon twist were exceptionally fresh and flaky . The drip coffee was robust ,most excellent to fuel our further journey. read more

I always stop here on my way to Raton. The place is always spotless and service superb. I highly recommend this little oasis off the highway! read more

What a beautiful and charming business. Even in late fall, thier flower garden was thriving! The young ladies working were sweet and helpful. The maple latte was delicious and my child recommends the blue raspberry Italian soda. read more

Cool little place out in the middle of nowhere, definitely worth a stop. Stopped here after going to the fort Union. Great service and great coffee. read more

Stopped off here on my way through after getting coffee from my hotel that was less than satisfactory. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! This little gem is fantastic. Very cute atmosphere inside and out. Delicious coffee and a scrumptious pastry. The barista was very kind. I wish I had had the time to sit and leisurely consume my latte and then get a second one. As far as I can tell it is really the only thing in Watrous, but is worth the brief detour from the interstate. read more

On our way to Colorado Springs and stumbled upon this gem. The coffee, food and atmosphere were all perfection. Definitely worth a stop in!! read more

Slight detour off I-25 north of Las Vegas NM. Clean and beautifully decorated coffee house in older northern NM house. Large patio with flowers and fruit trees. One size various coffee drinks, teas and pastries. Plan to stop whenever on this route. True gem in the area. read more

Watrous Coffee House - Watrous Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Watrous, New Mexico

A total gem: great service, interesting pastries and excellent drinks (a traditional mocha, an iced vanilla latte with almond mylk, and a perfect dirty chai). As noted by other reviewers the grounds are super lovely (dahlias, zinnias, attended by more nectar-loving monarchs and moths than I've seen in years). The interior features interesting artworks and is a totally inviting place to sit & sip. Watrous is a literal dot-on-the-map, but it's 1000% worth it to exit I-25 briefly enough to grab something here. One of those surprising "this? here?" spots...but if you need a caffeine fix it's a must-visit. read more

Sweet little stop, fast easy access off I25. Coffee is good not bitter, a tad sweeter than my husband's preference, as is my chai. We also had the green chili burritos, good flavor very cheesy, tortillas split easily. Excellent prices. $25 for two drinks two burritos and two pastries. We will come again when we come back through. read more

Watrous Coffee House - Outside in April. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Watrous, New Mexico

Get off I25 and come see this place. Someone spent a ton of money redoing a broken down old house. Look at Streetview to see what it looked like. The grounds have flowers and a huge, well maintained yard. Inside we found two charming female teenage baristas. My coffee mocha was delicious as was the pastry. My wife enjoyed hers also. My only complaint is that the two food items on the menu were sold out and it was noon. read more

A hidden gem! Fantastic coffee shop with wonderful atmosphere and great baristas! I had a delicious americano and what seemed to be a homemade breakfast burrito. Don't miss this stop! read more

If I could give it a higher rating I would!!! Friendly service. Great Coffee, awesome treats. Wonderful atmosphere. A truly unique place.

Wonderful oasis on the middle of nowhere on I-25. Great coffee and pastries at what appears to be a converted house. Easy access off and on the freeway read more

We've always wanted to stop at the Watrous Coffee House on our way through northeastern New Mexico. It's definitely worth the stop! The excellent espresso, wonderful eats and delightfully restored building made our morning. Above all the service was outstanding! In the future, we'll plan better to make another stop. read more

Truly standout experience in New Mexico! Exceptional decor with a broad selection of high quality teas and coffees served by friendly staff. read more

What a pleasant surprise! There has been no place to get good coffee on I-25 between Santa Fe, NM and Trinidad, CO...until now. This great, new, impeccably-styled and clean coffee house is just what has been needed along this stretch of interstate. Friendly service, delicious baked goods and top-notch espresso drinks make it a great stop for road weary travelers and for those visiting Ft. Union National Monument. read more

Very cute little coffee house just off I-25. Nice decor and tasty cappuccinos. Didn't try a pastry, but they looked great.

Great espresso and fresh pastries in a beautiful historic building. Easy pit stop off I25. Super clean restroom. Friendly staff. Can't ask for more. read more

As all the reviews have already noted this is a gem of a place that most travelers would probably say is in the middle of nowhere. The focus of my review is on the staff. Kaylee Ratzlaff was the very friendly and very efficient barista on duty the day I stopped there and unknowingly dropped my wallet below a table. Kaylee found it and, using information in my wallet and an APP on her phone, she found all the phone numbers historically associated with me and called them all. She left messages everywhere she could including on my current IPhone, a message I received about 100 miles away in Raton, NM. She waited in the coffee shop until well after closing time for me to get back there to retrieve a wallet I had not even realized was lost. REWARD? Yes but I had to FORCE it on her. Trust me... a stop at the Watros Coffee House is comfortable and relaxing... IN EVERY WAY! read more

What a great find in the town of Watrous! It's in a very nice old house, and the owner is so nice. Great muffins, bagels, and breakfast burritos too. I had iced tea, but the coffee smells great. It's worth a stop if you're traveling through Northern New Mexico on I-25. read more

Really cute little coffee house and well worth the (brief) detour off I-25. It is very pretty inside and they are very friendly. We had a cappucino and chocolate croissant and both were very good. Recommend it highly! Take a break from your drive and stop in. read more

I've tried coffee from New Jersey to New Mexico and most of the other contiguous United States. 1/11/20 As a traveler with car woes this warm, cheery, and friendly shop offered a great view, free wifi' and the best part, some really great coffee and edible delights. Their old fashioned donut might just be the best Ive ever had. Its a perfect quiet place to stop on 161 just off I-25 in Sunny New Mexico. I hope anyone in need of a break from the car, or a quick social media binge, or just the basics of great coffee and service, will come and enjoy any or all of the above. 5 flawless stars is the least I could possible rate this fabulous place after they even happily filled my gallon jug of water for my dogs. Thank You Watrous Coffee House read more

Great time! I seriously LOVED this place! I was passing thru and decided to stop because it looked super cute! The building and garden were beautiful! Had a lovely conversation with Kaylee, the barista, as well! Thinking about heading back to Watrous just so I can stop in again! read more

If you're in northern New Mexico, this coffee house is a must! Wonderful interior setting with soft music, or tables to sit outside. The coffee is freshly ground. Sticky bun cinnamon roll was delightfully light, and the homemade breakfast burrito was very good. Our barista was friendly and nice. It's definitely worth a detour off the highway (business 25, Watrous NM). read more
