We all lead busy lives, and many of us use coffee to help fuel our days. Unfortunately, we don’t often make time to sit back and truly enjoy our caffeinated drink. We’ve compiled a list of fantastic coffee shops in the Odessa area where you can relax and appreciate your coffee.
Cool Blue Coffee House
If Italian coffee is your weakness, you’ll love the Cool Blue Coffee House. Located on Grant Street where the French Press Cafe used to reside, the Cool Blue Coffee House offers a small town coffee shop atmosphere that’s a welcome reprieve from that of corporate shops. When you find yourself with some time to spare, make sure that you couple your coffee with something from the breakfast menu. With biscuits and gravy, bacon and eggs, and even French toast, you’ll be sure to love everything that this charming shop has to offer.
Cpl. Ray’s Coffee
Cpl. Ray’s Coffee is named after one family’s fallen American hero who served in Iraq. The original shop was opened in Andrews, Texas, the hometown of the family. They received such a strong outpouring of love and support from their neighbors that they wanted to create something that honored their loved one and enriched their community, so Cpl. Ray’s Coffee was born. A second location in Odessa has opened, and it’s known for premium coffee and great conversation. Once you visit this shop, you’ll find yourself coming back for more.
The Human Bean
You may be thinking to yourself that you don’t have the time to sit in a shop and sip your coffee, and that’s ok because we’ve included a place for people who are always on the go. The Human Bean is a drive-thru coffee shop that offers a wide variety of top-notch beverages. With some of the friendliest baristas you’ll ever meet, The Human Bean is designed to make customers happy with every cup. If you’re a diabetic, you’ll especially enjoy their selection of sugar-free drinks. They offer something for everyone here.
Thirsty Turtle Coffee Co.
Every coffee drinker has a coffee shop that they love to frequent and the Thirsty Turtle Coffee Co. is a favorite of many. Conveniently located in the Music City Mall, this eclectic shop offers smoothies, coffee, iced coffee, Italian soda, hot chocolate, loose-leaf teas, shaken teas, and more. If large menus scare you, rest assured that the baristas are happy to help customers figure out which of their many drinks would be suited to an individual’s personal tastes. In addition to beverages, the Thirsty Turtle Coffee Co. also has a selection of bakery items and wraps.
There’s no feeling quite like enjoying your favorite coffee at the perfect shop. The environment enhances the experience and it can easily become addicting. We realize that not every day can be a coffee shop day, but we hope that you’ll carve out some time to visit one of the shops on this list. You won’t be disappointed.
