While visiting Amarillo, I wanted to try a few local coffee shops while working remotely. Located…read morenear the Medi Park area was Strata Coffee Bar, a catch all spot that functions as a coffee shop, bar, and brunch location. When I walked in, the place was absolutely packed with TTUHSC or TTU Vet Med students who were celebrating finishing their final classes for the year. It was quite busy with a large line in front of me, and since I was staying for a while, I was not in a rush. I ordered a lavender latte, and after waiting just over 15 minutes behind the gaggle of people who ordered before me, my hot beverage was ready. I really liked the cup they served it in. It had a cute mountain gradient with their logo on top. The coffee itself was pretty good. It was not anything groundbreaking, but I enjoyed it for what it was. Having to briefly hop on a call with my boss, I went out to their small outdoor patio and took the call. It was also a pretty decent spot for getting some work done. They serve a ton of different options, and it is probably a popular stop for people in the surrounding medical district to get a quick coffee boost. There were also plenty of people drinking beers and mimosas when I came in, celebrating their semester coming to a close at 9:30 in the morning, so good for them. You love a catch all spot.

I have just recently been getting into brewing loose teas instead of tea bags and was delighted…read morewhen I found there was a place in Amarillo I could purchase loose tea although I know it is not the only place. They definitely had the largest selection though. The girl who was working there was very knowledgeable about all their various teas and I learned a lot that I hadn't previously learned from watching YouTube videos and passed on a little bit of information back. I was going to limit myself to $20 but ended up spending $50 because I found so many items that looked interesting, plus wanting to order a drink there to try out. The place is very nicely laid out and the teas are sold by the ounce. I like that because I could buy a little bit of this and a little bit of that to try out and then I can always go back to get more if I like one better than the others. The atmosphere was very comfortable and welcoming. If you don't want to buy loose teas they have drinks available you can buy, everything from your basic flavored teas you can pour yourself in the back room out of standard dispensers to specialty teas using the loose teas they offer for sale. The place is very easy to find and visible from the street. If you need a landmark it is across the street from Dickey's Barbecue and The Lazy Gator shopping strip. There is parking available right in front. The only reason I took off one star was because I got home and found that there was no receipt in my bags. Most places if they aren't planning on giving you a receipt will ask you if you want one and I always say yes please. If I'm going to spend that much money in a store I'd like to have a receipt to compare against my credit card bill and remind me how much each purchase was. It may be the girl just forgot because we were talking so much or they may not be in the habit of asking. Later I found I had received an email with the information but I'm old school and would rather have a piece of paper I can look at. If you want to break away from Lipton tea bags and try something special, check out their large selection! In fact, I found teas here that I didn't find at Natural Grocers and Market Street and there isn't a blessed tea bag in the store. Oh, and they also have tea making utensils, pots, cups, travel cups, DIY tea bags and strainers you can put the loose tea into and a few more exotic Tea Brewers & dispensers, even some of those honey sticks that you can put in your tea to stir it around and sweeten it at the same time.

"That's a GREAT cup of coffee!"…read more Love when we're on the road and find another excellent coffee stop along the way. (Driving from Houston, TX to Taos, NM for a week) Hubs is over here gushing about what a fantastic morning it's been, part because of the adventure of a new place and lower humidity, but also, this is a GREAT cup of coffee! Drive thru is hopping on a late Saturday morning, plenty of parking outside and seating inside. Ordered the usual (decaf flat white, heavy cream) and it came out HOT and quickly. That first sip is like heaven on earth. Hot. Creamy. Coffee forward. They've got the ratios just right and this is a splendid beverage. Friendly staff inside, wishing us a great day as we left - felt very genuine and kind. We'll bookmark this place for the return trip(s). A bit far to become regular customers here, but definitely worth the detour off I40 for a local spot!

If you need a coffee I definitely recommend this place! Also, there is an open air porch situation where you can bring your pets. There's also plenty of seating both in front of the coffee bar and behind where you can sit on a couch or bar and write your book. There are many outlets and it is cozy and intended for working individuals.

Living in Amarillo for about a week, I learned a lot about the culture of the city and its two…read moremajor coffee chains. I always find it interesting how many medium sized cities have a localized coffee chain that is so deeply rooted in the community. In Round Rock, it is Lamppost. In Amarillo, it is Roasters. There are quite a few Roasters locations in Amarillo, but the true OG is located off Georgia Street. I got there around 8:30 in the morning and it was capital B busy. Every table except one was occupied and the drive thru was wrapping around the building. By the time I got inside, I only had a short wait before ordering. I ordered a simple vanilla latte with oat milk in a medium size, along with a pumpkin spice muffin. For how busy it was, I was expecting to wait a while, but they churned drinks out pretty quickly. The barista even signaled to me to come grab the drinks for my girlfriend and me because I did not believe they had been made that fast. The coffee itself was pretty good. It leans on the sweeter side and is more focused on flavor than being espresso forward. It is clear why this place is such a staple in Amarillo. I also really liked that they had coffee sleeves that looked like Christmas sweaters and flannels for the season. It was a cute touch. It is a cute space and feels pretty traditional. One random thing I noticed was the pictures of Ronald Reagan on the walls. I do not know the reason or if it is some sort of long running joke, but it exists, along with books about Reagan scattered around the shop. There is only one single use bathroom, so on a busy morning it can take a bit if you need to use it. Every day, Roasters offers a coffee of the day on drip. I went to another location later in the week and tried it there as well, and it was good too. I think Roasters is a great option for coffee in the area and proves why it has been a staple for Amarillo residents since the 1990s. Regardless of the Reaganomics for whatever reason, Roasters can trickle down some coffee. RIYL: coffee and pictures of Ronald Reagan
