Java Drip Coffee — Restaurant in Gallup

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the coffee. We are all pretty picky with our coffee and my husband, daughter and son all liked it as well. We’ve been back a few times since trying it a couple weeks ago.

It can be slow as it’s a start up business and there is usually only one person working, however, on average, I spend 3 times as long waiting in the drive through for Starbucks.

It is a huge plus that they have a drive through. Carting a newborn into a coffee shop on a busy day isn’t something I want to do. I’m really not a fan of Starbucks so having another drive through place with coffee that actually tastes good makes me really happy.

My only complaint is that I wish they were...

The extra ingredient that tops it off is Taura's (owner) sunny demeanor and kindness. 5-stars can't be wrong, we thought during our early AM drive-through into Gallup on a road-trip. After many gas station cold brews, we were delighted with Java Drip Coffee because we had what we wanted...the taste we needed. It brought comfort right back to body and soul. Taura recommended Oso Grande Coffee in Farmington as we headed in that direction. I liked that Taura had unsweetened non-dairy options to add to my coffee. My German mother enjoyed her cappuccino with gusto. This is your place for a variety built and made by a coffee...

My first time there, my daughter recommended that I go...wasn't disappointed at all, we got a caramel machiotto over ice, and a passion fruit/mango refresher, was delicious and they actually put expresso, I know because am on a roll lol...I used to go to Glenn's, great there but they don't always put the expresso, and the prices much higher, and Starbucks prices are ridiculous, I will definitely be back and definitely recommend trying Java...
