Plaine - Alpine
Plaine
Description
Nestled beside a laundromat in Alpine, this charming coffee shop roasts locally and serves boldly flavored coffee alongside inventive drinks, teas, fresh juices and housemade ice cream and shakes. Friendly, knowledgeable baristas offer recommendations (try the Mexican mocha) and the shaded outdoor seating and dog-friendly vibe make it a relaxed morning or afternoon hangout. Expect occasional waits during busy times and some variability in strength/temperature late in the evening. Limited food—just pastries and granola—so come for drinks and atmosphere rather than a full meal.

Charming little café located right in the heart of town. While the indoor seating is somewhat limited, there are outdoor tables available for nice weather. I really enjoyed my hot and delicious chai latte, and my husband loved his Mexican mocha as well. Unlike some other coffee spots in town that close in the morning, this place stays open until 8 p.m., which is perfect for those evenings when you're craving a warm drink. I highly recommend it if you're wandering around Alpine and in need of coffee or tea. They also offer a selection of muffins and pastries.
I really loved the atmosphere! I asked for recommendations, and I went with the Mexican mocha; it was fantastic. It wasn't overly sweet, which I really appreciated.
The service is excellent. Be sure to ask the baristas for their recommendations; you won't be disappointed. Their coffee is a delightful surprise, and it’s not what you'd typically expect from a rural town in West Texas. Plus, dogs are welcome!
Had to do a couple loads of laundry after breakfast and headed over to Plaine. After putting our clothes in the washer, we headed thru the door to the coffee shop and ordered an Americano and an iced tea. Prices were good and we enjoyed our drinks while we sat inside reading while waiting for the laundry. They also have ice cream with interesting flavors but we didn't get to try any of it.
I've been on the road through West Texas for about a week and this is the first place where I have had an espresso drink was so well made. The shop and outdoor seating are cute and comfortable and the baristas are friendly and efficient. I'd go everyday if I lived here!
