The 806 Coffee + Lounge — Restaurant in Amarillo

Tonight was my second visit since last year and I was quickly reminded why I loved this place so much. I enjoyed chips and salsa with my SO as a fantastic live band played surrounded by incredible art pieces on the walls. I’m not sure why anyone would be offended, or complain, about the art or the “dark and dingy” vibe of the place. Just a reminder!! Art is here to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed! (The art wasn’t disturbing at all, it was just some nudity and if you can’t handle that then go to the swing set outside of town).

The artists are talented, the food came quickly, and the vibe was great. We decided on alcoholic beverages since it was about 9:00pm when we got there and I loved the selection and choices. It was a smaller selection but it didn’t matter because they had something for everyone. The chips and salsa were FRESH! And I loved that they were blue corn chips as well!

On another matter, I was pleasantly surprised and thankful to see what this nice place has to offer. Not just food, drink, music, and art. But also protection and safety for others. I saw the previous review about the condoms on the counter. I think it’s extremely reasonable and it helps others live their lives safely. It’s not a “leftist” establishment. It’s a humane establishment. In a country we’re living in right now it’s a pleasure to visit such an open minded establishment that not only supports local artists but also those whos rights and lives are in jeopardy. I will be back, and I can’t wait to try more...

My wife picked this place for breakfast. We got there and were told that they wouldn't be serving food for another half hour. They could do coffee and bagels. The girl behind the counter seemed like she didn't want to be there... she wasn't rude or anything, it just seemed like she would rather be working elsewhere. The decor was very dark and dingey. There were a lot of random things to look at, including paintings of nude people on the walls staring at me while I drink my coffee. Like seriously, why would I want to stare at a giant phallice while eating my bagel. I was getting super left wing political vibes from the stuff on the counter, not that I am left or right wing, but I don't enjoy having politics jammed down my throat when I am just looking for some coffee and food. And the political stuff was done in typical leftist fashion... by insulting, berating, and bullying. One of the pamphlets that was out read "Find out why this virgin, (name redacted) wants to get into your womb." It was right next to the giant bowl of condoms on the counter. When I asked if they had a veteran discount, the woman behind the counter's expression became very judgemental and she replied with a very snippy "No." I get it, not everyone has a veteran discount, but you don't have to look at me like I'm trying to steal your drugs if I ask for one. The coffee was actually pretty good. The bagels were not....

Walking in it’s a cute little spot! This was my first time coming in and I was excited I finally had to time to stop by! I soon was upset due to how the guy working the counter was speaking to me. He loved talking to me as if I was stupid! I even made a comment “wow, I just love how you’re speaking to me” he quickly apologized but then proceeded to talk down to me again! So I asked my husband to check us out as I said out loud He’s starting to upset me. As a business owner myself I would never talk to a costumer the way this man talked to me, silly question or not! I was really disappointed!

To respond to his reply, i absolutely did not put my hand in his face. I was never disrespectful to this man in Anyway. I never rolled my eyes at him. I did not condescendingly say anything I was chuckling because I was so uncomfortable and in shock with the way that he was talking to me and you were extremely disrespectful! I never asked you anything about the beer its self! I only asked you if it was a beer and you were rude because I should have known it was a beer even though I’m at a coffee shop! You treated me like a was stupid and now lieing about my behavior! After going through your reviews, it seems like I’m not the only one who thought you were...
