The first time I visited Bandera, their seating area was under construction, so it was nice to walk into the bigger space so thoughtfully curated…down to the roadrunner imprinted on their mugs (should you be staying in the store.) The lighting, the merch, the plants, the table tops are all so lovely! The beverages, however, seemed a little overpriced for the size and the customer service was mid - nothing terrible actually, but I suppose for the stellar coffee shop vibe that you feel walking into the space, the barista’s connection to customers (at least for me) was limited, almost mismatched from the warm, inviting vibe the space put out. Also, there were two pastries in the pastry case (at 10am) and although more pastries did arrive during my visit, it left for wanting when I was ordering my beverage as there initially seemed to be very few options. Would recommend it, but mostly for the esthetic.

We were visiting Harlingen and visited this place only because it popped up on Google maps. It definitely has a unique vibe. It is an old building that makes me curious as to the history of the place. It seems to have original floors which make it even more distinctive. I ordered a hot mocha and my husband got an iced vanilla latte. Both were delicious. The have a nice pet friendly patio which is a plus for me. Although the place is great, the cherry on top are the friendly staff members.

Cozy coffee shop with low key vibes and friendly baristas. Nice wide open seating area with plenty of tables to sit at, plus a back area with more sitting. Nice decorations and an easy to read menu. Got an oat milk latte, didn’t specify whether I wanted hot or iced, and they gave me iced, which is okay because it was made really well and I’m sure people rarely get hot drinks when it’s so hot out. Overall a great coffee shop experience.

A beautiful shop with kind humans who know their coffees. Solid 3rd wave specialty coffee shop. The espresso was delicious, the iced latte was so tasty, and had a chick pee and curry empanada that was phenomenal!

This is the place for specialty coffee! The Tormenta is my favorite, super tasty and different than what you get at other shops. The atmosphere is great and the baristas are always so nice the past times I’ve visited. I’m from San Antonio but a valley native so I love all the branding they have (956 cups, etc). Makes me want to visit even more! Lol so cute!

Supporting local coffee shop is easy when it’s at this place. The quality is by far unbeatable and it’ll make you appreciate a good cup of joe! The art in lattes is cute and the whole vibe of this place makes it easy to stay longer and sip away!!!

Great coffee, great atmosphere. Studying here helped me pass my MCAT on the first try. 10/10 recommend.Great local murals & artwork + beautiful food & drink makes it a must for IG. Merch is great, also by local artists, and seems to run on a limited basis so if you're on the fence or just stopping by for the day- definitely buy!

Cool little place with great espresso. It did feel a little awkward, the staff were reserved and not overly polite, and it was poorly lit (especially in the back), but overall it was kinda cool. I see what they are going for...at least I think I do.Update - we came back and the staff were amazing. We love this place!

The coffee was delicious and great options, went with pour over and Columbian. The chicpea with chimichurri dipping was also quite good. Cool spot and will be trying another cup tomorrow!

My husband and I decided to try this place out on a whim. We had lots of questions about the menu, and the staff patiently took the time to answer all of them. I ended up getting a simple iced vanilla latte, which was very good. My husband got the Goth Latte, and it was amazing! Prices are reasonable and atmosphere is neat. Definitely has an Austin-ish vibe. Support small business and check them out yourself!

I would probably come here everyday if the staff were to provide better customer service. Also feel the energy get worse when I hit the no tip option the barista had me put my own lid on my coffees 😂 * ok then I’ll just greet myself out too. No ,sense in leaving a 20% tip on $12 dollar coffees for $2.20 tip for them to be rude to me and me struggled to open the door by myself with two coffees.. no thanks. I tip well at restaurants, food delivery, but find it uncomfortable, unnecessary, and get an entitlement attitude from the baristas. They need to improve on customer service and, exclude the tipping option. I worked at restaurants before without a tip option. Think it created a better service for customers because I had to be nice regardless and, my mood would stay the same towards my customers. I think a lot of places are doing the tip option and it’s really making the workers ONLY be nice and provide customer service if they’re getting something extra out of it… which in return only hurts the business.

Favorite coffee shop in town! The owners are wonderful and a big part of the downtown art community! The host private gatherings and art night pop ups, great seating area in the back, camera/insta ready seating, and PET friendly 💕 be sure to stop by for coffee or tea!

First time there and I loved it! Was a reading cold day and I wanted some coffee, was gonna get my regular at Starbucks, but my husband suggested this spot. It smells amazing when you walk in, super cute spot to have coffee with friends or a quiet place to get some work done. I had the tormenta latte...it was so good! Would totally recommend Bandera Coffee Co. and will definitely come back again💗

Absolutely wonderful coffee shop and a must see! I make sure to stop here every time I visit the Valley. The coffee is thoughtfully sourced, expertly prepared and the shop is very nice inside. They have created a “Coldbrew Shandy” that consists of coldbrew, grapefruit juice and Topo. I was curious when I ordered it and was not disappointed. It was delightful. Staff is always friendly and I can’t wait to come back.

Literally stopped at this place on a whim, and I am SO glad I did. I had no idea what to order, except that it had to be sweet and iced, and the barista recommended an iced latte made with horchata. That was the best coffee drink I’ve had in a long time!! The ambiance was relaxed and trendy. Wish I lived closer, just so I could go again

First time customer and first time five star review. The cappuccino was excellent. I'm used to having it with sugar, but this one was beautiful without. The barista looked like he really enjoyed his art. I will be back

I was little skeptical at the beginning but once I saw the guy preparing our pour over and smelling and finally tasting it wow it was perfect.. the Guatemala one was great next time I’ll try the Ethiopian, place was spacious, friendly people, comfy chairs, nice environment and great music... overall I will definitely back

Great coffee and fun environment. Hate that I don't live closer but will definitely stop by whenever I'm in town. Great style and overall fun place to grab a great cup of coffee, chat with friends, study, or use as a time sink.
