Picacho Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Las Cruces

It makes me sad to only be able to give this place 3 stars. It used to be my absolute favorite coffee in the country - when I wanted a latte, this was exactly what I wanted.

In the last three months, they've hired new baristas who clearly have no idea what they're doing: 5 out of the last 5 drinks I've gotten from one specific barista have been undrinkable.

If I had to find something to improve, I would recommend some sound deadening materials on the walls to quell the the echo from the roasters.

Also, access from the interstate could not be...

For starters, I am a coffee junkie. No matter where I go, the first question is, where can I get a great cup of coffee? I’ve had coffee in More than half the states in the US, and countries far and wide. When I’m asked, what is my favorite coffee, it’s always the same answer, Pacho Coffee. I now live in Colorado and have tried all the local roasted coffee I can find hoping to develop a local supply. In the end, I continue to do a monthly order from Picacho. I have probably tried every blend they offer, and I’m never disappointed. What an incredible source of consistently great roasted coffee beans. Still my main stay and worth the cost of shipping, without a doubt. Just finished a very large cup of...
