Casa Cafetzin is my happy place. I’ve lost count of the many times I’ve been there, from solo coffee time to friends’ catch-ups. So yes, I love Casa Cafetzin and their people—therefore, there’s some bias here.
The coffee is absolutely amazing. High-quality beans that come from small farms across Mexico and other great places (they’ve surprised me with beans from China and Guatemala). They offer beans from washed to honey—name your favorite process, they’ve got you covered. I brew my coffee at home using their beans; it makes every day better to start with a cup of delicious specialty coffee. I stop by when I need extra love (a cap).
I adore their avocado toast (make sure to add an egg and prosciutto) and the molletes (uff!). Did you know their sourdough is prepped in-house? YES! Their morita salsa macha is an absolute delicacy. They offer chilaquiles somedays—I love chilaquiles. Last but not least, these people bake their pastries in-house—there’s always a good selection to choose from.
They are a small local business; they are not fast food, so understand that they run out of food at times. They cook everything to order. They offer good-quality food prepared by humans.

Absolutely the best roaster and pourover coffee in El Paso. I’ve never seen any other roaster do double anerobic fermentation in the city. Although the Chinese Meng-LianLahu-Va (black sheep) beans were in the medium roast spectrum, the amount of fruit forward fermented aroma, wine-like, full-bodied, sweet, and cherry flavor notes, sets it apart from any other other beans in the city.
Please do more of these anaerobic fermentations. El Paso deserves to taste more of your creations.
I bought beans and they are bursting with fermented aroma goodness.

The best coffee place in town. Also if you are looking for good coffee beans, this really is the place to go around here. They know what they do, they roast their beans in house, every single interaction with the staffs has been absolutely delightful. Love love love this place!

It’s my first time coming in and had a great experience overall! The flat white coffee was priced at $4, which is a fair price for the quality and taste. The coffee was rich and smooth, with a perfect balance of espresso and milk.
The mollete with prosciutto was a highlight of my visit. The presentation was beautiful, and the combination of flavors was delicious. However, the bread could have been a bit softer – it was a tad hard to bite into. Despite this, the prosciutto added a nice salty flavor, and the portion was generous.
I’d give this café 8 out of 10. The coffee was excellent, and the food was tasty, but the bread texture was a bit off. I’d definitely recommend this spot to coffee lovers and those looking for a quick bite. Can’t wait to go back and try more!

Best coffee shop in El Paso. The owners genuinely care about their craft and make a top-tier brew. The shop has great vibes and is a nice place to relax. Also, I always get my beans from here. They take time to explain the different options for me and always have something unique to try, and then put together a fresh bag with a cool little label that they draw themselves.

Hidden gem. Staff is friendly and helpful. Great quality coffee. Barista’s passion shines through the preparation and service of your favorite caffeinated beverage. I will visit every time I am in El Paso.

We really enjoyed our experience here. The Avo Toast was better than anticipated, should have bought two. The banana nut bread was tasty, but not as moist as I would like. Now the cold brews were interesting, there was a strong spicy after taste I didn’t see coming, it was too overpowering. Customer service was excellent, there were only two people working very hard, and they were still pleasant and all smiles. It made it difficult to keep tables and areas clean, so that hurt the atmosphere. Overall, I would definitely recommend a visit.

Had been wanting to stop in this cafe for ages but hadn’t got around to it until today and I don’t think I’ll be back based on this experience. My friend/colleague was also a first-timer and we agreed to meet there for some coffee and food. We were disappointed to hear from the barista that there was no vegan pozole available, but we ordered chilaquiles and were really looking forward to trying them. About 45 minutes after ordering, we figured they probably forgot about our order. When my friend went to go ask, he was told they didn’t have chilaquiles. Why did they allow us to order them and pay for them? How much longer would we have been waiting for our food to never arrive? The second barista then came over to our table and told us they had “found” some salsa after all. Took another 20 minutes to get our chilaquiles and when they came, we were even more disappointed. Both our orders had burned tostadas and we both only ate about half. When the first barista passed by to put the chairs on tables as they were closing by this point, I relayed that both our orders were mostly inedible due to the tostadas being burned. He asked if we wanted to-go boxes. If we didn’t want to eat burned chilaquiles there, why would we want to eat them at home? He didn’t offer anything else so I expressed how disappointed we were considering how long we’d been there, how our order was forgotten and how now we’d be leaving hungry. He offered us a postre (dessert) which I thought was somewhat redeeming and as we were leaving and opened up the paper bag, it was one cookie. One. For two of us who had been greatly disappointed.
Sad to say, neither one of us left with a good impression.

I went in and the lady working was very welcoming and helpful. Told her it was my first time and she told me about items on the menu. I ordered a chai latte, chocolate croissant and avocado toast. Let me start off by saying everything was delicious. The food was mouth watering good. This is a small and unique place. I loved it. I will definitely be going back and letting friends know about this place.

Had brunch here and ordered an avocado toast with an extra egg, mocha coffee and a flat white. The avocado toast was served with chili oil on the side, it was the best avocado toast I’ve ever had! It was nice and quiet with a good view of Mesa and the Franklin Mtns. Parking was not an issue and prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend!
