Palomino Coffee

Close your eyes and picture a small coffee shop in Marfa, Texas filled with desert plants and sandy earth tones, and it probably looks a lot like Palomino Coffee on East 12th Street. This is one of our favorite coffee shops on aesthetics alone, but this isn’t a guide to the “prettiest coffee shops in Austin.” The rest of the reasons to visit are simple: house-roasted beans, excellent espresso, and a small menu of seasonal drinks to help you remember what month it is when the Austin climate is confused. You can also pick up palo santo from the small marketplace up front to really lean into the West Texas aesthetic.
