This coffee shop has its own drive-thru on the back of a large commercial building on the southwestern side of Lubbock, TX. The inside has high ceilings. Multiple seating arrangements scattered. Simple yet elegant decor with a clearcut palette of black, gold, brown, and ivory. The most vibrant item was the chalkboard sign with the new roasts and the WI-FI password. For our late afternoon dust storm road trip back home to New Mexico on February 17, 2026, my daughter opted for an iced cappuccino that was deliciously creamy and sweet to her liking. I wanted something much more impactful and caffeinated, so I settled on a Cortado which is basically a shot of espresso with as much steamed milk. It took a while for it to cool down, but it was some of the best espresso I have had in such a long while. I believe there is a second location on Salem Ave. This one closes early.

Since it was my first time I told her she could finish the orders she was working on. I ordered just some simple toast with honey butter (great) next time I'll add the jam also. And then I ordered 2 pastries to go and a Rice Krispie treat also. I chose to go with a latte that had maple and cinnamon in it (sorry forgot the name) and went with almond milk. The milk they use truly is great it was creamy and made just right. Not a long wait. The whole cafe is set up super well, lots of spaces to meet up or to study. They were busy so finding a spot to part was the hardest part of the experience. Definitely will be going back again.

I have purchased from them several times and have only ever requested something specific once or so. I just order random. They have knocked it out of the park every time! I will continue to let them choose my drinks because my trust was in them from the get go after they made my first drink! They even FREEZE ESPRESSO SHOTS for when the drink waters down!!! Who does that?! They're freaking amazing!! Smoothies are awesome and I let them create their own for me every time! I just tell them what I'm feeling that day and they come through every time!

Lots of steamed dairy flavor. It's more expensive compared to other coffee shops near by and not nearly as good. It is a huge space though. Not a bad place to do work but the seats aren't the comfiest and outlets are a bit sparse.

Gold Stripe Located…read moreinside the beautiful Cactus Alley is the small but great Gold Stripe Coffee Roasters. Here, an iced latte feels like a cocktail. The craft that goes into how they make each beverage, and how they are served using a huge ice cube makes it feel special and different. Their espresso-based beverages are always excellent, and I find myself visiting every few visits I make to Lubbock. Their interior space is small but inviting making it great for work, but I also enjoy on a spring day to sit right outside in the Cactus Alley courtyard and enjoy the coffee with the natural air. This is simply one of the best coffee shops and co-working spaces in Lubbock. RIYL: Big ice cubes

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.
