Dispute Coffee

SETTLING LA DISPUTA FOR MORNING FUELLocated in the Stanton Hotel near historic San Jacinto Plaza lies the little coffee stand that could. Upon entering the modern double doors, Dispute Coffee takes up a little corner, nestled between a beautiful wall fixture and section of ultramodern, white interior decor. White walls, black majesty. They mirror the cup of black gold that they serve. Espressos, coffee, latte, cappuccinos with flavours ranging from lavender, hazelnut, vanilla, pumpkin spice (tis the season!), and coconut. Now, lets talk about la Disputa.Note: Syrups are not housemade, but nonetheless high quality.The DRINK:Lavender Iced Latte: BLESSINGS OF THE BEAN AND FLOWERWho would have thought to combine the robust, bold flavours of coffee with a sweet syrup singing the chorus of mountain flowers. From the Old World to our new modern world, the coffee bean and lavender leave scores of history on our taste buds. La Disputa coffee beans are bold and bittersweet with a mature earthiness. They are lightened by the mild and creamy milk and the floral and fragrant lavender syrup. You can taste their individual flavours as well as when they blend together to make a floral and slightly bittersweet creation. What is great is that the flavours work hand and hand, and never overwhelm the other. The coffee bean and lavender in sweet harmony. That is the key. My only concern was that the flavours fade quickly overtime with the ice, but all good things eventually come to an end (-1 star). The VERDICT: BITTERSWEET PARADISEIn the heart of Downtown El Paso, there is a lot of history remains standing, but much of it fades over time. Businesses come and go, but the memories still persist in the ones who treasure them truly. But from the concrete jungle, who would have thought that flowers can grow, and new businesses sprout up from time to time to give birth to a new El Paso. Dispute Coffee brings a modern twist from the blessings and treasures of the Old World. Their coffees and espressos give us new hope for a better day. The Lavender Iced Latte is a bittersweet paradise that combines the bold and earthy La Disputa coffee bean with the sweet, floral essence of lavender. They work in harmony so that you can taste them well balanced. However, the ice fades the flavours over time. So ephemeral, like a fleeting kiss in a tragic romance that could have been paradise eternal. I will definitely come back to try the rest of their selections and hope they will have more flavours.

The tasty iced latte and savory, filling hummus toast made for a very nice breakfast. I definitely went back multiple times.

Pretty confusing experience here that ended in paying $20 (even) for two lattes in cash because the credit card matching "was slow." Nice people but I'd suggest checking the menu price. It was either a lack of training or a blatant hustle.
