    I couldn't be more thankful that I stumbled across the info for this place. I was looking for a vegan birthday cake for my 50th birthday spent with a group of friends in Marfa. There was correspondence for about a month. I still have no idea the name of the person who was extremely friendly, accommodating and helpful for every detail from flavors, coloring to pricing and pickup. Best of all, the cake exceeded expectations! Our whole group (I am the only vegan) devoured the cake. The rest was amazed. We got a lemon lavender cake with lavender icing made of vegan natural coloring from beet root and spirulina. They even added gold flakes for my golden age. This was by far the most delicious vegan cake I've had yet! Wishing I could get one shipped to me for every occasion!

    This place is so cute. It is tucked back in a neighborhood and is a must visit. We had a Chai and a coffee and a couple of the pastries. The servers were lovely. Do yourself a favor and stop by. It's worth it.

    This is the best coffee shop in Marfa. I had a "desert after the rain" latte and it paired perfectly with the orange olive oil cake. The barista was super nice too. Highly recommend!

    Great location, cute interior & outside space w/ great vibes. The pastries and drinks are really good. We had a mixed berry kolache which was better than I expected. There was this wonderful drink towards the bottom of the menu called the Cold Brew Float... it was AMAZING! If you're able to order it, do it! Now I need to find somewhere in Austin that can recreate this delicious masterpiece. Bitter Sugar also carries some of the best looking MARFA swag. Check it out.

    Coyote Coffee (formerly Big Sandy) in Marfa gets five stars from me, with the small caveat that I'm…read moregrading a little on a curve, because... well, it's Marfa, and options are limited. That said, it's a cool spot with great people and I'd happily go back. I ordered their signature breakfast sandwich, egg, bacon, and cheese on a biscuit. It was good, not mind-blowing. The biscuit was a little dry, which was a bummer since that's supposed to be the star of the show. I kept wishing for some butter or sauce to bring it together. On the flip side, I also grabbed a slice of cake and that was excellent, easily my favorite thing I ate there. For drinks, I got a matcha latte. They warned me the matcha was a bit earthy and suggested adding sweetener, which I did. I always wonder if "earthy" is code for lower-quality matcha, if ceremonial matcha doesn't really need sugar, but with the sweetener it was totally fine and enjoyable. The space itself is cute and very Marfa. It's in a converted gas station that's part coffee shop, part vintage clothing store, with vintage motorcycles to keep the gas station theme going. There are only a couple of tables, and it's not really a place I felt like lingering with a book or a laptop. More of a grab-a-coffee-and-move-on kind of spot. If you're visiting Marfa and heading out to explore, it's perfect for that. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. They were attentive, brought my food to the table even though they initially said it would be window pickup, and the place is dog-friendly, very relaxed, and unpretentious. I'd absolutely come back the next time I'm in town.

They make some excellent drinks and the staff is very friendly. The shop is in a old gas station so there is plenty of parking and places to sit inside and out. This is a very chill shop with relaxing vibes in the creative town of Marfa Texas. Marfa, by the way, is a pretty awesome place to visit :)

I got a Ham, Egg and Cheese Croissant and my husband got an Egg Sandwich. Both breakfast sandwiches tasted great! We also both got coffees that hit the spot! We're pretty plain re: coffees. We get either black cold brews or black iced coffees. We're just looking for the extra caffeine which V6 nailed!! Service was great- the employee we interacted with was so kind and personable! The shop itself was too cute and loved the decor around! One of our fav parts?! There was a cafe cat that was way too sweet!

First off, the address directions via GPS were not correct, it's actually a block down from where GPS leads you... so, after circling around a couple of times, I finally found it. It was worth the effort... I had both the Mexican hot chocolate and the matcha. Very yummy, and just the energy I needed early in the morning for the drives to Big Bend NP and back to Amarillo, respectively. A friend got the yogurt and fruit and found it very filling with a side of breakfast potatoes. On both days I got a burrito. They added avocado and sour cream which gave just the right touch to an already delicious burrito. The staff was so friendly and answered questions about menu items and customizing options. The house kitty was also very friendly. The cafe is small, but there was no problem with seating early in the morning. The artwork on the walls is interesting and western in theme. Everything was warm, clean and inviting. This is definitely the place to stop when you're in the area.
