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

I really like to drink cafe sua da hot but they only have iced for this drink. The space is cozy but maybe not the most ideal if you are going to grind for a long time.

But Lubbock? Not a chance. So, I was absolutely delighted when when Teapioca opened, not only in Lubbock, but by my house! I love having access to boba tea, with the small town feel Lubbock is known for. The owners are almost always on-site and obviously care about product and service. Today, I asked for boba and a half-meaning what normally comes in the drink, plus about half a scoop more, vs. a whole. The employee had to think about it-but was determined to accommodate, even after I said if it was too hard, not to worry. Then, the owner happened to pass and mentioned that Crumbl had just brought them free cookies and she wanted to pay it forward, so she called it the "manager's special" and deducted it. There's nothing better than a business that really cares! That's why I'm a loyal customer. Thank you, Teapioca! LBK loves you!

We came in for boba after dinner, not realizing they close at 9:00. The girl who was closing was…read morevery rude she threw our straws down, had a clear attitude, and kept giving us rude looks.

If you're going to take orders that close to closing, there's no reason to treat customers like that. Completely unnecessary and unprofessional.

RATING BREAKDOWN Teas: 5 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 5 | Price: 4 PARKING There was a small shared plaza lot. Also, there is a drive-thru window that is parallel to Milwaukee Ave. LOCATION/AMBIANCE ThirsTeas is a walk-in and a drive-thru location. On your first visit and during possible seasonal times, I would suggest walking in to try their wide assortment of sweet and unsweetened teas. They have along wall of dispensers and little Dixie cups for you to sample any flavor you'd like. The tea is kept cold! On the same wall and on their to-go cups you'll see their logo: The state of Texas as a glass of iced tea - so cute and clever. My cup runneth over... It's located at the southwest corner of 34th St and Milwaukee Ave. This is on the southeast side of town with close access to Loop 289. We popped in on Christmas Eve 2022. There were a few cars in line for the drive-thru window and several patrons inside. THE DRINKS & SNACKS + peach habanero sweet tea - I am not a fan of peach anything. My dad brings me peaches and peach-flavored whiskeys all the time. I consume them, but I'm not a fan actually. This turned out to be my favorite tea that I sampled, though, so maybe my dad's onto something. It's so delicious and the spice of the habanero has a good enough kick to where my kids won't sneak any drinks when I'm not looking! + regular sweet tea - this is my second favorite. My oldest daughter loved it too. + coconut tea - my youngest daughter had me try this. We were both shocked we liked it. She drank all of hers quickly. + dill pickle chicharrones (fried pork rinds, $3.49) - were a fun, delicious snack We all grabbed 20-oz. cups which I think were smalls at $2.89 apiece. For their teas, they offer: medium and large cups. They also sell 1/2 gallon ($3.99) and gallon jugs ($5.99 - these prices according to their website). They also sell the following: + reverse osmosis water + alakaline water + sodas + lemonade + bags of ice (nuggets & cubes) + jerky + chips & salsa + various nuts & seeds + popcorn & more LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB No kid's cup sizes.

There are other drink stops around town and Sonic (down the street) has never been so blatantly rude and racist.
