Rio Dulce Coffee — Restaurant in Fort Worth

this is my favorite coffee shop in all of Fort Worth. i stop by most days, thankfully its on my way to work. i always get the Horchata Latte, and boy is it amazing; sometimes i just get horchata by itself because it’s absolutely delicious. they make their own chipotle whip for the latte which has it’s own little bite to it, but compliments the drink so well. not only does their espresso taste great, but their whole bean home-coffee roasts are delicious. my boyfriend and i buy their bags for our house, we really like the Marengo blend! as for the baristas, they are so kind and willing to chat, they do their best to connect with every guest who comes in. i’m pretty sure they started remembering me within like five visits! granted that was a while ago now, haha. this coffee shop is on the smaller end, but they always have quiet music going and its a really welcoming environment. on most weekends they have live music too! this coffee shop is lovely, welcoming, tasty, and most importantly its extremely...

I love Vaquero Coffee. It’s one of 2 downtown coffee shops and sits in an historic downtown Fort Worth building. Parking can be tough but now there are at least 3 Vaquero parking spaces in the lot behind the building, a huge plus when there used to be 0.

Hang out, have a chat and try one of the specialty drinks like the Colt 26. Named for the number of seconds it takes to pull the shot of espresso. It has espresso, half and half, a dab of chocolate along the edges of the glass and a dollop of maple syrup, finished with ice. The journey begins with the espresso on top.

After a while these flavors mix until you new the bottom of the glass. Here you begin to experience a light sweetness. The maple is presenting until the last sip is a rich, creamy, espresso blasted maple experience.

I fully recommend...

Such a great first experience! The baristas were very helpful and kind. They walked me through my questions and talked about their favorites and customer favorites. I settled on the baristas suggestion, an iced oat milk harvestlight latte. It has maple and cinnamon and taste like heaven. I had to consciously slow myself down from chugging it like I was in 12th grade at a field party. The prices are very reasonable. They also carry small breakfast items that very from sweet to savory. Parking is very limited in the front of the building but there’s plenty behind the building. The inside is super cute with two huge comfy couches that sit across from each other. They did a great job merging the vintage style building structure and floors and the new. Will 100% be going back. It looks closed from the outside but...
