SETTLING LA DISPUTA FOR MORNING FUEL…read more Located in the Stanton Hotel near historic San Jacinto Plaza lies the little coffee stand that could. Upon entering the modern double doors, Dispute Coffee takes up a little corner, nestled between a beautiful wall fixture and section of ultramodern, white interior decor. White walls, black majesty. They mirror the cup of black gold that they serve. Espressos, coffee, latte, cappuccinos with flavours ranging from lavender, hazelnut, vanilla, pumpkin spice (tis the season!), and coconut. Now, lets talk about la Disputa. Note: Syrups are not housemade, but nonetheless high quality. The DRINK: Lavender Iced Latte: BLESSINGS OF THE BEAN AND FLOWER Who would have thought to combine the robust, bold flavours of coffee with a sweet syrup singing the chorus of mountain flowers. From the Old World to our new modern world, the coffee bean and lavender leave scores of history on our taste buds. La Disputa coffee beans are bold and bittersweet with a mature earthiness. They are lightened by the mild and creamy milk and the floral and fragrant lavender syrup. You can taste their individual flavours as well as when they blend together to make a floral and slightly bittersweet creation. What is great is that the flavours work hand and hand, and never overwhelm the other. The coffee bean and lavender in sweet harmony. That is the key. My only concern was that the flavours fade quickly overtime with the ice, but all good things eventually come to an end (-1 star). The VERDICT: BITTERSWEET PARADISE In the heart of Downtown El Paso, there is a lot of history remains standing, but much of it fades over time. Businesses come and go, but the memories still persist in the ones who treasure them truly. But from the concrete jungle, who would have thought that flowers can grow, and new businesses sprout up from time to time to give birth to a new El Paso. Dispute Coffee brings a modern twist from the blessings and treasures of the Old World. Their coffees and espressos give us new hope for a better day. The Lavender Iced Latte is a bittersweet paradise that combines the bold and earthy La Disputa coffee bean with the sweet, floral essence of lavender. They work in harmony so that you can taste them well balanced. However, the ice fades the flavours over time. So ephemeral, like a fleeting kiss in a tragic romance that could have been paradise eternal. I will definitely come back to try the rest of their selections and hope they will have more flavours.

A smaller local business who also supports local artists is a for me. Their syrups were not listed on the menu board, but our friendly barista helped me pick a flavored coffee, as I was craving something on the sweeter side. I love their concept of using mason jars for iced beverages and serving pastries on small wooden serving boards. We had a DELICIOUS house made scone that perfectly paired with our cortado and dulce de leche oat milk latte. Cannot wait to come back and try some of their other baked goods. Only downside is parking, but that is inevitable since the store is located downtown.

They always seem to have friendly folks working there (tip them - they look lonely). They never seem really very busy. The coffee and ice cream are good but not great. It often seems a little sticky. Their hours are not especially convenient (am I the only one who wants a dessert later at night?). If you're staying at the Hotel Paso del Norte, the Plaza or anywhere close by and want a coffee or gelato, Dulce is worth a visit. It's nothing you'd ever make a special trip to visit, though.

$3.19 for a 12oz Iced Tea with lemon... nope. Nope. Nope. Nope…read more This 'café' is located within the downtown Doubletree and advertises Starbucks coffee, which at first exited me, then kind of annoyed me because it's just those plastic pump-top coffee-mate things that they serve it out of, and let's be real, Doubletree... that sh*ts normally free in the hotel lobby. When I first came up to the counter there was no one there and had I known I was going to be charged $3.19 for 12oz of Lipton iced tea with lemon, I would have invested more time in toying with idea of just freaking taking it, but I'd just kind of assumed that the charge would be something to the tune of $1.99. Wrong. I mean, I guess $3.19 isn't horrendous, but had anything in there had an actual price on it, I most certainly would have reconsidered.

I was excited to see the classic Chinese film, Zhang Yimou's Raise the Red Lantern tonight with…read moresome new friends I met recently. Not sure if they're going to be friends after this because that was a pretty traumatic movie, about women backstabbing one another. Lol But I have a feeling we'll be back again because the little cafe where we went to screen the movie is so cute. They have been open for approximately 18 weeks and are planning on getting their alcohol license so they could have more events there. I won't lie. Parking is tough but there are free open lots and street meter parking available if you search, especially at the city hall lot after 6 pm. It's a quirky little deli and it's run by a native El Pasoan and New York transplant. There's history here as my friend kept comparing it to the theater that closed down, Fellini Film Café. The food was housemade and delicious, the Cafe De Olla was delicious on its own without cream or sugar, the egg cream soda was legit and the service was outstanding. Best of all they have a lot of vegan options, so I can take some good friends and they wouldn't feel left out. The egg cream soda can be subbed with coconut cream and the vegan chocolate chip cookie was just as decadent as the real deal. They'll be hosting a lot more events like poetry slams, kids' movies, book club movie screenings, and even a music video premiere for a famous local band! Stop by and check them out, we need more cozy spots that offer food and entertainment without having to dress up as you can see, I looked crazy since I'm trying to adjust back from HST to MST.

However, we were seated directly below two AC vents near the entrance to the kitchen and I was freezing yo death the whole meal even with a jacket and the staff trying to tone down the AC. Please just don't sit people there from now on! They also only have one bathroom which is an inconvenience to wait for several minutes just to use the bathroom for a place this expensive (unless the hostess was mistaken, she told me there was only one). My food was well prepared and tasty. The beet tower was an extremely small portion which was disappointing. I guess that's what to expect with high prices. If you want good ambiance and food, this place will hit the mark, just look where you're seated and expect to pay up.

Firstly, maybe…read moreit's different around here, but where I'm from everyone knows how to speak Spanish, so I guess watch who you're saying the f word around and talking about your reproductive organs when speaking in the second most common language in the world. They burned my burger and still sent it out. My server was lackluster and I can firmly say that because I watched him give good service to another table! The chef did send something out to make up for it. By the way skip the dessert platter. What in the "fell off a US foods truck" did I just eat? Flavorless ice cream? A month old strawberry that was opened from a package? Creme brulee with bitter topping? C'mon you're not even trying here. The only time I heard the manager speak was when he was shuffled away by the guy that wouldn't give him the time of day otherwise (table getting good service) and when he was saying inappropriate things around my table in Spanish, thinking we couldn't understand. I then found out when my wife was going to the restroom, she turned around to close the stall and the manager was staring at her from the lobby, which stopped her from wanting to use the restroom altogether. Avoid this trashy place. What the heck? What restaurant did everyone else eat at??

When we finally got there, the line wasn't that long, but it got fairly long behind us. Liz and the kids got some churroa and some drinks. The hot chocolate was t anything special. We were hoping for A uelita chocolate, since they advertised it all over the place, but we didn't get that, and when we asked...it was either they didn't have any or it wasn't part of the promotion. The kids weren't really into the hot chocolate. The champurado that Liz ordered wasn't too impressive either. The churros didn't grab 'Em's attention. She has a high bar for churros either from SA or Madrid, but she's a pretty good churro critic now. They have some other. Snacks, but if they are as good as the churros or the mis advertised...
