4 Best Coffee Shops in College Station

We as a nation love coffee. Many of us need it in the morning to wake up, as well as to make it through a long day of work. In a city like College Station, which centers around the Texas A&M student life as well as the lives of families and professionals, there are certainly a number of places where you can get coffee. But even without the caffeine, there’s just something about the ambiance of a local coffee shop. It’s a nice, calming place to sit and slow down for a bit, to have a first date or chat with a friend. Here are a few of the best in College Station:

1541 Pastries & Coffee

Coffee shops are beloved by artists and creatives, and 1541 Pastries & Coffee is the perfect place for a coffee lover with an artistic bent. You can have latte art done in any design you want, from a heart or a flower to the face of a cat or an elephant. There are a number of delicious sweets here to pair with the coffee, and you can find sandwiches and turnovers as well if you want to stop in for a quick lunch.

Harvest Coffee Bar

Downtown Bryan is known for its charming, quirky atmosphere, so it’s no surprise that you can find a charming, cozy coffee shop right there on Main Street. With ambient lighting and an earthy interior, Harvest Coffee Bar is a great place to sit for a while and sip your coffee slowly. You may bring your laptop and try to get some work done or simply pack a favorite book.

Gogh Gogh Coffee Company

The punny name of this coffee shop implies a love of art and that is what you’ll find here. There’s even a mural of Van Gogh’s famous “Cafe Terrace at Night” along one of the back walls as well as other Van Gogh inspired wall art. However, the main art displays come from local artists. In addition to coffee, you can find wine and beer here, as well as donuts from Babe’s Doughnut and Coffee Shop.

Babe’s Doughnut and Coffee Shop

Babe’s is more than simply a coffee shop (and even more than a coffee and doughnut shop). They also have a breakfast and brunch menu, with offerings ranging from an egg, bacon, and cheese croissant to a full country fried steak biscuit with sausage gravy. They have a creative offering of donuts, including a lemon meringue donut, a donut inspired by an old fashioned, and even rainbow donuts for St. Patrick’s day. And of course, there are muffins and the coffee and tea itself is delectable.

So next time you’re craving coffee, skip Starbucks and check out one of these local coffee shops instead. They’re just a few of the elements to the community of College Station that make it a great place to live.
