Full service coffee bar right across the street from the UTEP campus. Plenty of pastries and a wide variety of coffees, teas, and drinks. They have coffee iced, pressed, frapp'd, flavored, They have teas milked, herbal, March, herbal... If you need a little snack, they have fruit filled empanadas, muffins, crepes, and sandwiches. Plenty of room and wifi while you study or hangout. The staff was very friendly and the orders come out fast. If you cannot stop in, they have a drive thru. I had wanted to stop by when we were staying down here, so was glad we made a trip to drop in today read more

The coffee, I got a shaken espresso and asked for a splash of cream. Must have been half, half and half. So milky I didn't really taste the espresso in it. I also got a turkey sandwich. That was pretty good. The bread was a slightly higher quality than I would have guessed. It was good. I would order that again. I'll have to go back and try a different coffee and see if it is better. It might have just been a one off experience read more

They never have frozen yogurt. Staff claims machine is not working. Always on maintenance of someone cleaning it supposedly

Their sign on the drive-thru window says they are short on pennies and are rounding to the nearest five cents, but if you pay with a credit card, they still charge you the higher rounded amount. I've brought it to their attention and they look at me like a deer in headlights. So basically the prices on their sign where you order aren't what you're getting charged. Quite a dishonest way to raise their prices. read more

Wow! I was at a chain coffee shop when I spotted this cafe accross the street and decided to walked my way over instead. It was a great decision! I asked for something strong but sweet and was served their version of an iced Red Eye (coffee with esspresso). It was amazing. It woke me right up but was still sweet enough that it didn't make me feel overwhelmed by the caffeine. The desserts looked amazing and they had a soft serve machine with a toppings bar!!!! I'll definitely be back for those empanadas when the calories allow read more

Very disappointed with the quality of the food. I got a Turkey sandwich and it was pretty dry, no side and for $7.00. On the other hand their chai tea vanilla latte was pretty good. read more

Extremely rude staff. No fresh fruit & espresso tastes burnt. 787 Coffee is way better.

Kinley's is a solid place to study or hang out. I would come here often to study long hours. There are many outlets around and tables that are good for individuals and/ or groups. The benches can be slightly uncomfortable however. There is also outdoor seating. WiFi comes on the receipt after the purchase of an item and hours go pretty late for El Paso standards. They have various teas, coffees, and foods. They also have a frozen yogurt machine there if that's your thing. I would often get a pastry or cake from the window because they always look good. Overall, very solid place to get work done. Food options are solid even if you are not studying and just want to hang out. I would easily recommend as a coffee shop to study for students nearby on campus. read more

Delicious spot for coffee in El Paso! We recently came here for the first time and were not disappointed. I ordered a mocha frappuccino, and it was so so good. The taste reminded me of a mixture of vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, and coffee. My boyfriend ordered a hot mocha latte, and he really enjoyed it as well. The drinks here are also very reasonably priced for the size! We each got a large and felt like it was a better deal than you get at a lot of other coffee shops. We will definitely be back! read more

Love this coffee shop. Free WiFi lots of college students come here. They offer military discount. Fresh pastries, soft serve ice cream with lots of toppings. Coffees are delicious! Menu is really good. Also the sandwiches are fresh and delicious. Outside seating is nice and spacious, clean. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu. They offer drive thru. We've been here many times, we will be back. I recommend it. Nice ambiance. read more

I don't live in El Paso anymore, but I did when Kinley's first opened - I literally remember when they opened. They've now been around a while - they are obviously doing something right. Part of it, no doubt - is it's good to be a larger coffee shop with great proximity to a university campus. It's safe to say I've been to Kinley's intermittently throughout their entire existence - most recently the week of June 3, 2022. What I found was...well, borderline disappointing. The reader must know I come at this review with a new appreciation for coffee which developed over the last, say, ten years. I'd MUCH rather go into a locally owned coffee shop than a big chain machine slinging burned coffee from a burner (come on, you know the one - there's a location right across the street). My wife and I have also become amateur coffee connoisseurs; we grind our own beans for pour-overs and have ordered coffee from a great variety of roasters from across the country. So, yeah - we're snobs - no doubt. When I ordered, I asked the barista about the coffee, but he didn't know and had to ask. Turns out, the beans are neither supplied nor roasted, locally. Additionally, I did not see, and do not see from old photos - options for pour-overs (which changed my appreciation for the taste-extracting process of brewing). Coffee shops shouldn't just "sling coffee", they should know and invest in their education about beans, roasting, and options for brewing. Hope they grow in this regard. Also, disappointed there were very little menu options. All available during my visit was a small display case of pastries. But, I see in old photos they used to have a larger breakfast and lunch menu (perhaps COVID related cutbacks). I hope they can get back to where they were when those menus were on the boards. In the end, I'm sorry to say I feel Kinley's lost a step, but I'm hopeful for a comeback. Next time I'm in El Paso, I'll check. read more

Solid coffee shop with excellent coffee but terrible parking. This is one of my first stops to a coffee shop in the El Paso area and it was a great choice. I ordered the HoneyBee flavor latté and was blown away at the flavor. Sweet but not overbearing. Tasted of honey but also with a nice hint of espresso. Biggest issue is the parking. There are about 12 parking spaces total which makes it very much a "first come, first serve" type of place. The interior is also made in a way that makes it focus on hunkering down to study or do work so you have to be lucky to get parking. This deters me sometimes from going, especially with a Starbucks literally right across the street. I will probably come here a lot. Def go if you need to get work done. read more

I go in with my coworker who orders $13 worth of food/coffee - I ask for a water cup. He sets the price, and as soon as we are about to pay the cashier states that he needs to increase the price to reflect the price of the cup my water will be in. I understand nothing is free, but to pay for a water cup, especially with a $13 order is pathetic. read more

Nice clean restaurant. Love the smell of coffee walking in! Walk up to the counter and order like any coffeehouse. Staff was very friendly and helpful on the order. Inside and outside dining is available. Probably about 20 patrons on a Friday night, mostly students studying. Looks like a nice place to hang out! read more

Kinley's is a great local coffee shop! The drinks are great and the sandwiches are a great deal. Employees are wonderful!

I wanted a crepe for breakfast today and a coffee. So we decided to find a local place, I'm glad we did. It's kittie corner to a Starbucks. Line was long there. It wasn't here. That has nothing to do with the atmosphere or quality of their products. Now I've never had a Frappe before. But on their menu is an Oreo Cookie version. I didn't realize that a Frappe ends up being very much like a Shake, but with a coffee kicker. I gotta say, it was amazing! I got my crepe too. Build your own. Nutella, banana and whipped cream, with a little chocolate sauce drizzled for good measure. Yum! When in El Paso and wanting a great coffee drink along with some tasty eats, stop in here. read more

The food and menu selection has changed so much. It used to be better. It had been a long time since I visited. I was rambling off to my sister about the great food there I tried while attending UTEP. We got there and let's just say I was embarrassed with the food selection and presentation. I ordered a sandwich that was dry and plain because there really wasn't anything else. They used to have ramen, salads, yogurt parfaits, different teas. What happened? read more

I've frequented Kinley's a couple of times for study purposes and it has never failed me before. Location - The coffeehouse and tea house are right next to each other as well as to UTEP which makes it convenient for students to come and study. The parking lot is a bit small and narrow though, so try to come at a time whenit won't be too crowded. Just a heads up, the tea house is also located inside a GECU which is a bit odd, but it works! I was definitely very confused the first time I tried finding the tea house. Ambiance - The coffeehouse has plenty of tables; however, only the ones next to the wall have outlets. Beware though that it is darkly lit. The tea house however is well lit with lots of natural sunlight coming in and is a bit quieter due to it being inside a GECU. There are high tables there right next to the windows and makes for a great studying place as you're not too distracted by other things going on around you. Service - The service was great at both locations and they are always happy to help when you're feeling indecisive and overwhelmed by the options. Food - The food at the coffee house is decent, although the coffee is subpar. My favorite though is the blueberry tea at the tea house - not too sweet and just the right amount of caffeine to get me through studying. Pricing - Pretty reasonable considering its right next to a college campus. Overall, it was a good experience for the price and I would recommend coming to Kinley's if you're looking for something hot or just a place to study. P.S. They do serve a build-your-own ramen at the tea house which I have yet to try, but it has smelled amazingly good everything I've walked in. Is definitely on the to try place! read more

First time here, I almost went to Starbucks across the street, but I thought hey, let's support a local coffee house. I should of gone to Starbucks. First of all, the service was below average, secondly, they forgot to make my drink!! I went at around 2:30 pm on a Tuesday. It was dead, not even close to being steady. Suffice it to say, this will be my first and last visit. At least I know at Starbucks, they won't forget to make your drink! read more

The iced coffee is not the best it was very watery. The green tea matcha is delicious with or without boba.

Then yelled at us after we walked out really unprofessional hire with this manager who clearly needs training! read more

I've been here twice now and might return for the food. The food is great! I had the Soyrizo bagel, which has soy based ground sausage looking thing, with egg and cheese. It's a bit spicy but it is delicious. My wife had the Avocado BLT which is actually made with spicy guac and not just sliced avocado. So that too had a kick. I probably wouldn't like that one, but the wife was happy with it. Now, the coffee! In my humble opinion it sucks. I've had plain black, which was a step up from dirt; soy latte, which was meh; and the wife had a cappuccino which does not impress. I tasted it, and dirty sock water probably tasted better. Considering that it's a tea and coffee house I was disappointed in the coffee. I'm by no means a coffee snob so take the coffee review with a grain of salt. (I enjoy Taco Bell coffee, Starbucks, and even McDonalds, but not Donkin Donuts). The atmosphere is great, the parking sucked but they do have parking, there's free WiFi with the password on your receipt, and the service staff was friendly and helpful. So come here for the food! Try the coffee and see what you think. read more

Kinley's House Coffee & Tea - The crepe was great. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Kinley's just does customer service right and for that alone, three stars. The other two stars are obviously because the drinks and delightful pastries are seriously on point. I usually meet up with friends here for a latte and some crepes. But there are really so many food options here...fro-yo, pastries of every persuasion, and ramen. Everything is so good and will seriously have you hooked. It's hard to determine which Kinley's gets more packed because both places are a huge hit with the community, but I usually pick KHCT when I want a more low key ambiance. In the past couple of weeks I've been to KHCT a few times, but when I went yesterday the doors were locked. WHAT?!? I continued to check all of the doors and didn't realize until I was walking away that there was a rather large sign saying they'd be closed til Saturday for their 10 year anniversary. Doh! I walked over to KHCT's sister business, Kinley's Tea House and picked up a Jasmine Milk Tea. After a few minutes I realized the weather was perfect to be outside so I marched back to KHCT and plopped down at a table on the patio. The owner actually came over and instead of asking me to leave, he thanked me for sticking around. His sincere gratitude really put a smile on my face and reminded me why I continue to go to Kinley's because beyond having great eats and drinks, Kinley's staff and owner are personable, courteous, friendly, and bubbly. read more

This coffee house is located close to the university of Texas El Paso, and it has a very large parking lot. Free WiFi is provided on request, so make sure you ask the cashier. Coffee - I ordered a latte, and was expecting a good latte pattern. However, it was not as expected... I was actually disappointed. The price is reasonable. Environment - very good environment for study and for group discussion, or just for a quick place for a bite! read more

I never would have considered El Paso to be a coffee shop place. That image is generally associated with Seattle but El Paso is really impressing me. I had initially been checking out the various Starbucks locations but I quickly realized that I should be supporting local businesses and getting a feel for the different types of coffees available to us in town. Kinley's was right on our way back from Tabla back to our hotel. It was the mid day slump for us so we wanted to get some caffeine to jazz us up. Yelp helped us out and showed us all the great coffee drinks we could order and the wonderful foods. Unfortunately we had just ate so we were coming primarily for the beverages. I got myself a cold brew iced coffee which was wonderful. I take it black minimizing the amount of calories and maximizing the amount of coffee I can drink in a day. Service was quick, friendly and efficient. They also have breakfast all day, crepes, soft serve and lots of baked goods. People come here to study, work or for a meeting. They have seating inside and out. They also have a drive thru! Wonderful place. Wouldn't mind checking it out again soon! read more

Excellent little coffee house. I'm very happy I found this place only a mile from my hotel. I had their Bacon Egg and Cheddar on a plain bagel and it was excellent. All of the ingredients were fresh and cooked to perfection. The service was fast and friendly. The ambiance was warm and inviting and the atmosphere was quiet. Finally, the coffee was hot and fresh. An excellent place to start my day. I'll be back many times. read more

Customer Service is horrible! My first time and last time here. The cashier was rude, I told him it was my first time here and he wasn't helpful at all. It's a very nice place with potential but service has to get better. The food took more than the average time and the place was empty. It looks like workers are more worried about other things instead of the clients. I had ordered my food to go and they didn't prepared it to go. They still got upset when I told them it was to go. Food was cold, but the coffee is good. Definitely one place I will never come back to. I don't care how good your coffee or food is, if you don't have good customer service you don't get my business. read more

Pretty good locally owned coffee shop. I came here to have maccha green tea latte and pleasantly surprised how good it was. They used generous amount of real maccha (I watched them make), and it wasn't too sweet at all! Some latte tends to get too sweet, but they make with just right amount of sweetness. Free wifi, user name and password is written on the receipt. Pretty fast wifi, good place to hangout as they have slightly worn-out but comfy couches and chairs. I came one late afternoon to get some caffeine as I needed to work late that day, since I was already tired, I almost dozed off sitting on a comfy chair. read more
