Cozy little local place to go get a coffee and study. The baristas actually take their time to make your coffee, I ordered a matcha and it was delicious. The only thing is that if you are on the go it might not be the best place for you unless they are not busy.

Decided to stop by this place off of Zaragoza - we love supporting small businesses in El Paso! Pretty comfy inside with good seating and their menu includes sandwiches and pastries plus coffee and teas! Love their wide variety of options, to include non- dairy milk for the unique coffee lover! The service was very good, we were the second couple in the entire place....not busy for a Tuesday at 2:30pm! I ordered the French Latte with Oat-milk, it was delicious and creamy!!! Check it out! Enjoy!

Service was fine... There was only one customer in there. I got a large cold brew with sugar-free syrup and oat milk. I gotta say with the ice that was included. The large is more like a smallish/medium. It was seven dollars. This is why people don't support small coffee shops anymore. Personally, this should've been no more than five dollars

*Dined-3.22.24:Found this local spot while in the plaza as my dad was getting a haircut a couple doors down. Saw they had Affogato and I KNEW I had to give it a try (I've only heard of it as a treat you order in Italy). It was DELICIOUS & much larger than the servings you'll find online. It had its El Paso twist-4 scoops of vanilla ice cream (you could also get cookies & cream), topped with a shot of expresso and cinnamon over everything. It was tasty and def worth getting again. My mom had the French vanilla latte and she enjoyed it as well. It's a cute mom and pop shop, w/ a couple of tables if you'd like to work remotely and they have "take one, leave one" book library. Would gladly return whenever I am back in town.

Delicious signature latte, Arroz con leche latte. Bagel with prosciutto and tomato also delicious! Service a little slow but they attend to each order carefully.

First time trying this place today and I was very pleased. Not only is it family owned but the menu is the perfect mix of items for coffee and light meals. The prices are reasonable, the service was very friendly and the ambiance is unique with local artwork in the walls. I think what took us so long to visit is the location is that it's on the East Side, near all the usual traffic which I do my best to avoid. However, I will be back for more during off-peak hours. I highly recommend the Arroz con Leche Latte.

PAYING HOMAGE TO NATURE AND THE OLD EARTHSometimes going to a coffee shop or cafe means that we want time to stand still. Coming early to get a nice cup of coffee and getting our minds right for the morning is starting to become more important with the changing times. Here enters Sand Dust Coffee, which sets the calming mood with cafe jazz music; rustic, wooden chairs and tables; and a full bookshelf taking us back to the past-a time machine of our era. Now, let me deliver my experiences while you sit back and enjoy a latte or two. The DRINKS:Arroz con Leche Latte: DESSERT FOR BREAKFASTLattes named after desserts always have high expectations. The spirit of arroz con leche lies in this latte through the fragrant, perfectly burnt caramel notes, rich scents of ground cinnamon, and a background of earthy espresso. Like an addiction of the tastebuds in taste as well as texture. The creaminess of the warm milk adds to a delicate and airiness that touches the lips. Hot and heavy in flavor, but soft and mellow in taste. Rompope Latte: EGGNOG SEASON ETERNALLYTastes like Mexican eggnog on a winter evening...and it serenades like a song. With light, frothy milk foam and hints of cloves and nutmeg, this latte embodies eggnog in a background of espresso. There is a cheesy taste and scent to this that works well with the bittersweet espresso. Winter comes and winter goes, but eggnog season is here to stay eternallyThe VERDICT: LATTES WITH A MEANING OF LIFECoffee is more than a morning drug to keep us awake...it is a history book of culture and culinary brilliance come to life. Each sip has slowly lost its meaning as a miracle of the Earth and only regarded as an adjunct to our food. Sand Dust Coffee brings meaning back to coffee and a chance to experience the humble coffee bean at its best. Arroz con Leche Latte combines fragrant, charred caramel notes with cinnamon and espresso, while the Rompope Latte fuses the spirit of eggnog and espresso into one. I highly recommend both as they are unique offerings that will satisfy any coffee lover's soul. I will definitely return to this perfect study spot.

Stopped in late one night for an Americano and a separate double shot. On my way back the hotel, I ended up with half the Americano painfully in my lap because the lid wasn't put on the cup properly. Mistakes happen and wounds heal. The place was nice, the people were nice, and the coffees were good.

Arroz con leche latte is delish. They serve sweet and savory crepes. They also have flavored lattes ranging from hazelnut, caramel, walnut, vanilla, coconut, and amaretto.Signature lattes include arroz con leche, peanut butter, rompope, and mocha. They have free WiFi and plenty of seating area. You can also order to go. Service was fast ( but I came at a non-peak time)
