There isn't much in the way of food however I had a matcha with hemp milk and local honey it was absolutely delicious! The barista was kind and was very descriptive when I asked if hemp milk would be nice in my matcha. It is a bit of a smaller place with just a little bar and a bench for sitting out side, it is was nice and cool inside over all the ambiance was lovely. I'd highly recommend this place! read more

World Cup - Delcious matcha with hemp milk and local honey! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Taos, New Mexico

Super trendy coffee shop. Felt in the way not as welcoming or friendly as expected. Locals only feel. Staff talking over me to tell stories with other customer. I was more of a bother to deal with. My Caffè Americano was ok. I would go down the street to the The Coffee Apothecary instead. Only stop by if your in historic down town Taso and are despite for coffee read more

A cute stop right outside of the plaza. They don't have a lot of seating which is a bummer and when I went it was HOT inside. Not sure if the AC was broken or something but wowza. I thought their turmeric latte was pretty good. Their coffee itself seemed bitter and very dark. My husband loves light to medium roast and was not a fan due to how dark the beans are. read more

We stopped by World Cup Cafe for a little change of pace with our morning coffee. Cute little place, and glad we stopped. The staff was very nice and friendly. The coffees and banana bread (warmed) were all good. Cannot ask for more in a little coffee/cafe spot! Recommend World Cup in Taos, NM. read more

Stopped in for iced teas before walking the plaza. Very good black tea for $3/each. Limited seating but we found a spot & watched the regulars come & go. Note: they take only cash or Venmo. There's an atm in there. read more

World Cup - It's super cute.? - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Taos, New Mexico

Fully adore World Cup. We were in town for a 5 day retreat and came here everyday. When you walk into this little corner shop, you start to see why the name adopts "World". There are currencies from ALL over the world along the wall, quotes hidden between the talented art pieces that embrace tickling your brain with compassion for all walks of life, and cute stickers and local happenings posters. I was very excited they served Oatly oatmilk and enjoyed a daily hot matcha made with the perfect level of froth and freshness. Incredibly kind, very respectful, and welcoming I would be a regular if I lived in town. Thank you! read more

Nice people and good coffee. Lots of good community info posted. Let's not over complicate things when talking about coffee shops!

Love this little cozy gem - ordered an oat cardamom vanilla latte 3 days in row - absolutely perfect.

The staff is super awesome! Especially the really nice ginger woman. I had a breve latte and they use my favorite dairy company which was a huge plus to me. I love all the little decorations and they seem to have a very similar humor and taste as I have. Definitely a place that would become a hangout spot for me. The awesome lady gave me a bag which was very nice, I'll use it for art supplies. read more

Coffee was off the hook good. The toasts we tried were awesome. Staff not friendly though

The coffee here is good. Nothing to run home about but better than Starbucks. What bothers me more is considering they are "the world cup" they are not very worldly. There is definitely a certain type of person that is more welcome there and they are not afraid to show it. My abuela also said her and her friends have experienced prejudice. So sad. I want small businesses to thrive in the plaza but dang. Also, no where to sit, just grab and go. read more

I used to live in NW NM and when I'd stop into Taos for groceries Id make sure to hit this spot up. Amazing sustainable coffeehouse with little pastries. The drinks are great and you can feel good knowing you aren't contributing to abusive coffee politics! Baristas are knowledgeable and friendly. Chill place to walk in, grab a drink and a snack, and walk out. Love it here and can't wait to come back again. read more

World Cup - menu! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Taos, New Mexico

Always on the search for the coffee hotspot in town. And if World Cup isn't it, it definitely should be! We had coffee here multiple times during our Taos stay. The coffee is great. Plain and simple. Made perfectly. I had a blackberry mocha and my husband had a mint mocha. The flavors were prominent in both, which is rare in our experience. We are pretty particular with our coffee, and World Cup has made us very very happy! read more

Been coming here for years...Taos' quintessential corner coffee shop has been doing it with their own unique flavor that rings true to this day. read more

Cash only. It is tiny. Maybe 4+ seats in the whole place. The awkwardness of waiting on your coffee in this room with everyone kinda exchanging glances while standing shoulder to shoulder is sitcom perfect, if you're into that kind of thing. Maybe if there was a line or some order it might be less entropic. The coffee was actually pretty good, but I passed on it the next day due to the congestion and overall feel. Try it, be your own judge, but I'd plan to take the coffee with me. read more

I very much enjoy the flavor and complexity of their coffee and the staff was very kind. Even when busy in this tiny little spot, they are very personable and efficient. read more

Best coffee in Taos! The dark chocolate orange was unique and absolutely delicious. The Mexicana was wonderful as well!

I had the most amazing cup of brew - Mocha Mexicano. Every sip was truly enjoyable with the Cuban espresso beans! Note - they only accept cash or Venmo. read more

World Cup - Mocha Mexicano - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Taos, New Mexico

A small coffee shop with a lot to offer. We stopped in for an afternoon pick me up while exploring Taos. The coffee from World Cup did the trick. Inside the shop you are reminded that you are in a liberal hippy spot. No hold back on that with political stickers and statements covering one of the walls of the shop. I lived in Austin for several years so this gave me a warm nostalgia. My husband and I both went Iced Mocha Borgias. It's a mocha with fresh orange zest. Wow! There's something about citrus zest that really sets off the flavors of a food or drink. My husband isn't a big coffee person and even he was a fan. It packed the flavor and caffeine we were seeking. The shop was being run by one man, but he prepared our orders quickly. They are cash only so make sure you hit the ATM before stopping in for your caffeine fix. read more

This is a great spot to pick up some nice coffee in the morning. The prices are highly affordable, and the coffee and other stuff are great, 10/10 coffee shop. read more

Solid cup of coffee Not much room to sit but if you're just stopping in and moving on it's great read more

Of all of the chai's I have tried in town, this one really takes the cake. The spice and cream blend together beautifully with an original taste and smell I wish I could buy. World Cup is iconic for Taos and now I truly see why. read more

World cup does not mean world cup winner. The coffee was okay, but the pastry items were less than optimal. One coffee cake was so firm and dry, that each bite had to be flushed down with coffee. Definitely not a candidate for a place in the medal ranks. read more

Boom! Out of town traveler here making his way to Santa Fe. I love espresso and this double shot hit the thirsty spot. Small shop vibe with friendly baristas. Highly recommended for your java fix before venturing around town. Just a heads up, it's a cash only coffee shop. Worth it though... read more

World Cup - Double espresso with spring water... - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Taos, New Mexico

Tiny place and it was packed on a Saturday as the FM was in full swing just steps away. I would definitely start your Saturday here, grabbing some coffee before shopping the Taos Farmers Market. There is a coffee shop on The Plaza, but it's just a hotel/Starbucks type place. We were glad we found World Cup. Service was a bit slow, but they were swamped with a lot of patrons taking up the one small communal table (with all their FM baskets). There are some super cool post cards here for sale here, too. read more

Hmmm I think that maybe the young man working was having a bad day. You don't have to be fake friendly (which he wasn't), but I don't know maybe try not to be unkind (which he came off as). My friend and I were amused by it for awhile after we left, how rude he was. Meanwhile the young woman was hustling and making all the drinks. Thank you for that! They were tasty but very pricey. Also, THEY ARE CASH OR VENMO ONLY FYI. At least they were when I was there. That's kinda inconvenient for a lot of people. Luckily we could do that. ! read more

This place is a great stop for a quick warm up on a snowy day! All the Baristas are great here!! You Will not be disappointed! :) read more

World Cup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Taos, New Mexico

Great walk up coffee shop! I drink my coffee black and their coffee doesn't disappoint - Robust, complex, just what you need to warm up on the drive into the valley. She drinks a latte and opted for the oat milk. The espresso was delicious, but the oat milk wasn't our fav. Great local spot with good anti corporate vibes. Pray for snow! read more

Has a turmeric latte and is dog friendly. This is Taos culture all the way. I had 2 dogs in this tiny place and while we were here 1 puppy and 2 other dogs came in. Taos loves dogs. They added a shot and a little honey to my turmeric latte which is an experience most people would not enjoy. It was hot with herbs and bitter with turmeric. Great for me. My friend had an exceptional mocha too. read more

World Cup - Turmeric latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Taos, New Mexico

I totally agree with Chris B. If you need a delicious cup full of extreme leftism & socialism from a COMMUNIST coffeehouse you have come to the right place. Super cute inside, the walls are filled with money from all over the world & tons of signs that oppose capitalism. Not just anti capitalists signs, signs against big corporate business, signs that read they are against the "man" & signs that read "rich your days are numbered" & "where is that change you believe in" & "occupy the world" & capitalism is organized crime! Tons of them, posted everywhere. I get it. Your a communist & want big government. You want to level the playing field. You want everyone to be taken care of equally. You dream of a utopia THAT CAN NEVER EXIST!!!! It was Christmas morning. They were the only place open. We walked in & got a shot of espresso & communism. We also got two large Mexican cocoas to go, bc the hippy communist LOVE was too overwhelming for me. But, bc they are against the "man" & don't take credit cards hubby had to run two blocks to a cash machine to get some cash to pay, leaving me alone in the den of extreme leftism. By the time he got back with the cash I had read all the walls & drank my giant mexican coco. It was excellent. It was also in a solo cup & solo lid. Where do you think they make those hippy? In CORPORATE America! Your business couldn't survive without BIG BUSINESS & tax payers don't want to PAY for EVERYONE to live equally you warped hippy! Your coffee is amazing but you serve it in paper & plastic SOLO cups that come from CORPORATE BIG BUSINESS hypocrite. Love your coffee :) read more

Great little community hub coffee house here! I'm definitely a fan. The people were very friendly and helpful and I loved all the stickers around the place that folks from all over had brought in. The picture I snapped really captures the vibe here. Cool place to hang out and meet interesting characters. Another awesome independent! Drink that Starbucks! Did I mention very good coffee? read more

They've got some awesome drinks like butter coffee, and the dandelion drink. Your mileage may vary with their beans. I bought a bag of beans from this place and they were just straight up burnt. I didn't have the heart to say so at the time, but the beans were impossible to brew into a tasty drink. read more

True craft coffee the kind that is rare to find and oh so delicious. Service was great too. If you are looking for coffee in Taos this is the spot. read more

Lovely Taos feel to this lil corner coffee house as you enter the plaza. Super friend and speedy service. Love this town. Definitely try the Mocha Borgia if you love the combination of strong coffee, chocolate, and orange. Made with real orange zest. Not too sweet. There are a few seats inside and a few outside. Either way you'll be able to enjoy the Taos vibe, art, and people watching. Enjoy! read more

World Cup - Lovely down to earth, Taos! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Taos, New Mexico

This place is the heartbeat of Taos ... the 1st stop for locals and visitors before they start their day. The black coffee is actually an Americano... not just an Americano but the GREATEST Americano... foamy like a latte but flavorful. Now... the food ... short, simple, and sweet. Great offerings include even gluten-free option. Their homemade granola with vanilla kefir is a MUST. And they have blue corn bread that's the densest pumpernickel-like bread you've ever eaten. This definitely is a great breakfast spot if you want something light and healthy. read more

World Cup - Looking outside of the cafe onto the historic district of Taos - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Taos, New Mexico

I usually abide by, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" but for this spot, I'll make an exception. There isn't one thing I liked about this coffee shop, not the coffee, not the food, and certainly not their obvious disdain for their country, and those that have fought for their right to share their overtly ignorant and hateful and vile opinions on anyone and everyone who does not agree with them. I prefer to enjoy my coffee with a lot less politics. Overall, Taos as a town isn't worth visiting, So many beautiful ski towns - this town is run down, dirty and falling apart. We did find a few delicious restaurants but this wasn't one of them. Want to understand their attitude? Read the owners childish responses to anyone who gives a negative review. read more

Been crushing a double espresso almost every day while here in Taos. I went elsewhere one day. While the other shop's espresso was fine, this place's is better. Much better. I am a coffee nut so I have a hard time imagining a better shot of espresso anywhere. I am serious. No hyperbole. read more

Solid coffee. Only accepts cash or venmo. They have a few items for purchase as souvenirs. No hot food options - but had a few bakery treats available. They are right by the plaza, so it makes for a great first stop before shopping :) read more
