    We stopped here from a hot day in Taos Plaza and got some good smoothie. Ordered 3 green machine flavor and they were pretty tasty. We had a great experience at Noula's.

    Listen, when you need coffee, you need coffee. Jamie W. and I got up at an ungodly hour to ride a hot air balloon over the Rio Grande. Magical as it was, we didn't get a chance to have our caffeine fix until well into the morning when we found ourselves at Taos Plaza. It's actually the only place you can get coffee on the plaza, and it's part of the historic Hotel La Fonda. Even with that association, it's really just a Starbucks in disguise. Not a bad thing necessarily but when they call their $3.75 Cafe au Lait Cafe Olé (photo: http://bit.ly/2Gp55hA) - well, welcome to Taos. COFFEE - 3 stars...Starbucks by any other name AMBIANCE - 4 stars...lots of adobe and southwestern comfort SERVICE - 3 stars...serviceable enough TOTAL - 3 stars... olé RELATED - Do you know the way to Santa Fe?

    You won't find an actual Starbucks in Taos but you will find this very small coffee shop on the Taos Plaza that uses Starbucks coffee. My mom chose a hot chocolate and pronounced it good. I just had an Italian soda and it was okay. Free wifi and power outlets near the three tables inside.

    I'm a little surprised by lower rated reviews all which have to do with the Starbucks coffee in an historic area not being historic and not being original for the surroundings. I must say though that Noula's Coffee Shop is in the Lobby of a nice hotel. It has a door to the main walk so that any may enter the establishment and enjoy. I've stayed at many hotels that have Starbucks cafes in them and they are privately owned - serving the product. This one attempts to keep the look of the area. Even the hospital's Cafe I work at serves Starbucks coffee. Many people appreciate that. In a town where there is not a Starbucks, I'm sure the people appreciate that! There are other coffee shops in town to choose from but if you want your Frappacino or special drink you know where to go here - Noula's! There is nothing better in the morning than enjoying a cup of coffee and knowing that you can go and do almost anything in the world that you want. Sip... and just know that.

    Our lattes were not good. Such weak coffee that it tasted like drip coffee with milk.

    Finally, found Starbucks. Although we had a lot of difficulty with my Dry Cappuccino, so I just opted for a regular coffee. Nice place.

(Coming from someone who's reviewed 57 coffee shops in 5+ states) We're calling it a Top 5 best cup of coffee. Last morning in town, and we wanted to try another spot, grateful (as always) to the yelp reviews that brought us here. Ordered the usual: decaf flat white with heavy cream. Appreciated that the staff spent a moment asking clarifying questions to ensure we were speaking the same coffee language. Waiting for our drinks, we peruse the shop- plenty to keep your eye busy and LOTS of personality to let you know THIS is the kind of place you want to your hard earned dollars to support. First sips of our drinks and it's robust and coffee forward. We LOVE when the coffee is strong enough to stand up to the heavy cream. I could tell within to sips that this would be the place I'll drop into, grab a flat white, and then head over to the library for a good quiet morning. The shop is just on the edge of the downtown plaza, minimal parking but more than enough space to grab your Joe and go. 5 stars, all the way!

    Hidden Gem Alert | Taos, New Mexico…read more Some coffee shops announce themselves. Others let the coffee do the talking. Tucked away in Taos is one of the most unassuming coffee shops you'll ever find. From the outside, you might drive right past it. Step inside, though, and you'll immediately understand why there's always a line out the door. My daughter and I each ordered iced lattes. She went with vanilla and oat milk, while I stuck with my go-to combination of oat milk and honey. Both drinks were outstanding. Smooth, balanced, and packed with flavor without being overly sweet. I've had coffee all over the United States and in several countries around the world, and these lattes easily rank among my favorites. The coffee impressed us so much that we couldn't leave without grabbing a bag of their light roast to take home. What stood out just as much as the coffee was the atmosphere. The staff was incredibly welcoming, the service was excellent, and despite the constant flow of customers, everyone was smiling. Yes, you'll probably wait in line--but trust me, it's worth every minute. One funny moment from our visit: I had just found an open table when a gentleman told me, "I was saving that one." I laughed, told him to go right ahead...and then watched him walk over and sit at a completely different table. It gave my daughter and me a good laugh and made for one of those random travel memories you don't forget. Final Verdict: If you're visiting Taos and consider yourself a coffee lover, this place belongs at the very top of your list. Fantastic coffee. Friendly people. A welcoming atmosphere. And a line that tells you everything you need to know before you even take your first sip. Sometimes the best coffee shops aren't the flashy ones--they're the ones that quietly become unforgettable.

Adorable (well, everything is adorable in Taos; it's the southwestern charm for sure!) but it's more than what its appearance says it all. You have to try their products and see for yourself. What I got me were a few bon bons and a chocolate torte (the whiskey kind). -Miso Caramel: is shaped like a mushroom. Even if you might not be a fan of miso based (everything), you should try these bon bons anyway as they don't taste like miso at all. I was quite shocked with this myself (well, I like miso soup; miso taste doesn't bother me at all. Even so, Miso chocolate candy was something I didn't know what to expect out of. That is why I am saying that I was surprised by it.) -New Mexico , Spicy: was also surprising. The kick in these tiny pieces was quite mighty and yet it was tolerable. -Whisky Torte: All sorts of organic ingredients are used to make these delightful tortes. Tortes tend to be a lot heavier than traditional cakes as their texture is that of fudge. And yet, that shouldn't be a reason for you to steer clear from it as this chocolatier perfected the torte in a way that it will not be too rich or heavy for your taste or stomach. At least that is what I thought when I tasted it. Another must-try item on their menu offerings. For its interior, it's mostly and simply grey on walls but this emits the "chicness" that doesn't overshadow the theme of its business. You should also pay attention to the ceilings and the floors. A careful attention to entertain the guests' eyes is seen throughout. Service was good. I first went here late in the afternoon (close to its closing time). I quickly glanced at each section of the store inside. The kind gentleman upfront wanted to assist me but after asking him if it was open tomorrow (it would be Sunday), he said yes to which I gave him my promise that I would be back tomorrow. The same man assisted me when I was back the very next day to make a purchase. Not sure if he remembered me or not. It's not chocolate bon bons or tortes you can enjoy at this store. The café offers tasting trios, mocha, chocolate mouse, ice cream, affogato, hot chocolate, and espresso and so on. This is a haven for chocolate fanatics.
