Bandera Coffee Co.

We were visiting Harlingen and visited this place only because it popped up on Google maps. It definitely has a unique vibe. It is an old building that makes me curious as to the history of the place. It seems to have original floors which make it even more distinctive. I ordered a hot mocha and my husband got an iced vanilla latte. Both were delicious. The have a nice pet friendly patio which is a plus for me. Although the place is great, the cherry on top are the friendly staff members.

Cozy coffee shop with low key vibes and friendly baristas. Nice wide open seating area with plenty of tables to sit at, plus a back area with more sitting. Nice decorations and an easy to read menu. Got an oat milk latte, didn’t specify whether I wanted hot or iced, and they gave me iced, which is okay because it was made really well and I’m sure people rarely get hot drinks when it’s so hot out. Overall a great coffee shop experience.

My husband and I decided to try this place out on a whim. We had lots of questions about the menu, and the staff patiently took the time to answer all of them. I ended up getting a simple iced vanilla latte, which was very good. My husband got the Goth Latte, and it was amazing! Prices are reasonable and atmosphere is neat. Definitely has an Austin-ish vibe. Support small business and check them out yourself!

A beautiful shop with kind humans who know their coffees. Solid 3rd wave specialty coffee shop. The espresso was delicious, the iced latte was so tasty, and had a chick pee and curry empanada that was phenomenal!

I've had their coffee (black), Americano, & espresso.

All of it tastes like stomach acid. It doesn't even smell good. I've never had coffee that smelled so foul. It doesn't even smell like coffee.

The only slightly redeeming feature is the vibe of the place, but that doesn't make up for the fact that it's a coffee shop, which makes absolutely terrible coffee.

The coffee was delicious and great options, went with pour over and Columbian. The chicpea with chimichurri dipping was also quite good. Cool spot and will be trying another cup tomorrow!

This is the place for specialty coffee! The Tormenta is my favorite, super tasty and different than what you get at other shops. The atmosphere is great and the baristas are always so nice the past times I’ve visited. I’m from San Antonio but a valley native so I love all the branding they have (956 cups, etc). Makes me want to visit even more! Lol so cute!

Absolutely wonderful coffee shop and a must see! I make sure to stop here every time I visit the Valley. The coffee is thoughtfully sourced, expertly prepared and the shop is very nice inside. They have created a “Coldbrew Shandy” that consists of coldbrew, grapefruit juice and Topo. I was curious when I ordered it and was not disappointed. It was delightful. Staff is always friendly and I can’t wait to come back.

Great coffee, great atmosphere. Studying here helped me pass my MCAT on the first try. 10/10 recommend.

Great local murals & artwork + beautiful food & drink makes it a must for IG. Merch is great, also by local artists, and seems to run on a limited basis so if you're on the fence or just stopping by for the day- definitely buy!

Down in the Valley to visit family for Easter weekend, wanted try a local Cafe- did not disappoint. Loved the coffee and atmosphere
