Stopped by for a latte on our way out of town - on my parents recommendation. The place was mostly empty - it was 3 in the afternoon - and there was lots of interesting unicorn art on the walls. We ordered two oat milk vanilla lattes - they were very strong and kept us awake until Amarillo (and maybe then some!)

Good coffee. Moderate prices. A locals favorite... GREAT garden, outdoor area (if you don't have a dog or want to be around dogs), although there are only 5 tables (umbrella-shaded areas) & usually full. I don't come here often because I usually have my dog. Dogs are only allowed on the sparse front porch, by the entrance & on the parking lot. Today, we decided to come because we didn't have our dog. I have decided I probably won't be back. The garden was full, the cashier was not friendly at ALL... and the barrista made one of our orders wrong. There are much better coffee shops here, where the coffee is lovingly brewed and the servers make it a pleasant experience.

This is your very proper coffee shop/newstand in a neat area of downtown near the state capitol. I ordered a Cortado and it was drinkable at the time of purchase. No too hot. Perfect. This place has a super atmosphere and you can tell locals frequent this coffee shop on the daily! There is a beautiful outdoor courtyard as well to enjoy your coffee and pastry. There were numerous delightful looking pastries that I would definitely try out next time. It was nice to see a newstand with lots of magazine choices. Those are hard to come by nowadays. I look forward to stopping in next year!

This place is magical. Their outside seating feels a little bit of something out of a fairy tale if we are talking 'whimsy'. Or perhaps that of an English country garden for a cup of tea. I obviously found their outdoor space, garden area and landscaping to be most enjoyable. If you enjoy having a beverage with an indoor/outdoor option, this place is for you. Plenty of umbrellas for shade. 10/10 recommend. What an adorable find.

I have sent an email to the owner.I was punched in the face by a 20 something at the shop yesterday morning on Mother's Day.The kid ran a stop sign going 40 miles per hour coming through the neighborhood.He parked sideways and nearly hit a woman when he drove into the lot.When I got in line behind him he turned and cursed at me and told me that I nearly hit him at the stop sign.I assured the kid I had stopped.He kept berating me and I asked him again to please just order his coffee.The young man punched me in the face.I did NOT defend myself or cause any further scene but stepped away and called the police.Many regulars witnessed this attack.The police were called and the child is going to have to appear in court.One of the young employees is apparently friends with this young fellow and refused to give the owners contact information.We love the coffee there and patronize this shop every morning.It is incredible to me that this young kid behaved the way he did.It is more Incredible that the employee refused to give the owners info and more strange that the security cameras there were not working, otherwise the boy would have been jailed.I am still waiting to hear from the owner of the shop.The kid will have to appear in court and I would hope that he would be banned from the coffee shop.One simply doesn't expect to be violently attacked while trying to order a coffee.Update:After several attempts the owner called me back.Didn't apologize. Didn't ask how j was.Just mentioned his lawyer. Never again

If I can leave, no stars, I would! Unbelievably rude staff! I'll never come back! And Unfortunately the coffee wasn't even worth dealing with the girls that made it. Mom and pops are already struggling in this economy but now I understand why people go to Starbucks.. It's so sad!

Neighborhood hangout with a fantastic location but a predominantly Boomer clientele - The last remaining demographic that can afford to live on the east side - which leads to long slow lines. The coffee is just okay and the baristas are mostly hipster females with attitudes. Used to be a total mecca for magazines but those days are far gone. $6 for coffee and a refill served with a side of snark. These days I prefer Ohoris or Iconik.

Discrimination!! Wanted to love it, coffee good, cute space BUT was immediately denied seating in the back yard with my service dog, violating ADA protections.They explicitly said "the patio is open but no dogs not even service dogs" and they were nasty and rude about it shouting at my across the restaurant I explained the law to them and the owners and workers said "we DON'T CARE you can't sit there with your dog" I have reported them to the legal authorities in Santa Fe and the Us department of justice Sad that there are still places that discriminate and do not understand or care about laws that protects people with disabilities From the ADALaws that Apply to Food ServiceUnder the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), privately owned businesses that serve the public, such as restaurants, hotels, retail stores, taxicabs, theaters, concert halls, and sports facilities, are prohibited from discriminating against individuals with disabilities.The service animal must be permitted to accompany the individual with a disability to ALL areas of the facility where customers are normally allowed to go. An individual with a service animal may not be segregated from other customers.

I first visited this coffee shop when it was downtown & had magazines, hence the name "Downtown Subscription." I'm a twenty-five year resident and find that I gravitate to this coffee shop more than others despite the change in ownership that others complain about. I like Casey & think he does a great job. I've also never had an issue with the service or staff, but will concede there is a consistent turnover which is to be expected for this type of work. In reading the negative reviews, what I've noticed is that most of these people are from Texas. Maybe their negative reviews say more about Texans than the coffee shop. Who knows? What truly astonishes me are the people who prefer Starbucks. Are you kidding? Starbucks sucks, but if you like sugary, flavored drinks, I guess that's the place for you. I prefer coffee myself.
