Sugar Browns Coffee Co. — Restaurant in Lubbock

How are yall drinking this stuff?? If there were a competition for the most repulsive coffee, this place would easily win. I am by NO means exaggerating. I wish I were. Shouldve checked the bad reviews. We had to throw our drinks out!

Pretty sure it USED to be good and thats why there are so many positive reviews. Thought it'd be great after reading few. The atmosphere is cool I guess, but the coffee... wow. Wouldve gone back if we hadn't had to wait so long for it to cool down and we were only passing through. Seems they use quality flavorings, but the coffee tastes like straight up burnt coffee grounds. It is BAD. We ordered the aspen and a vanilla latte and it was easily the WORST tasting coffee I've ever drank in my entire life! I have NEVER I needed a antacid and an anti nausea to settle my stomach after tasting coffee. Vile liquid. At ten bucks a drink Im still in disbelief. Something is definitely wrong so I called to let them know thinking they'd want to check their beans/equipment and all I got was... "interestinng". No "sorry".. no "we'll make it right". Nada. Their reaction was enough to refuse a second chance even if they get to the...

Grew up in Lubbock, faintly remember when Sugar Brown's was located on 34th street...now they've moved to 19th across from Lubbock High! It's very artsy and hipster vibes for sure, and it's a solid place to check out if you're in Lubbock and looking for a place to study or get coffee with a friend or casual date.

Ambience: 5 stars considering Lubbock. They have a really pretty gray/blue brick wall on the side that's ideal for all y'all IG fiends. There's also a wall that has "Made in Lubbock" on it, if you would like to get some snaps. The inside is nicely decorated - antiquey and artsy. The white ceiling is really unique (see picture). There's a bike above their front door as well (v. hipster).

Food/Drink: I tried a sip of their London Fog tea and wasn't terribly thrilled - hence 4 star review. They had really cute kolaches. I'm sure some stuff on the menu must be good but when I went with a friend we just had the kolache and a tea. They provide complimentary iced water.

If you want to check out a local establishment in Lubbock and have not gone to Sugar Brown's yet, it's definitely...

We wanted to love this place! It’s cute on the inside but when we walked it we weren’t even greeted. We were like uhh should we order kind of awkward. The cashier said hi in a mumbled whisper and then whenever we asked questions or ordered anything she would respond with a rude yeah or no. After my friend ordered, I started ordering mine and received no confirmation that she heard my order. We ordered two iced lattes, one with vanilla and one with lavender and then got the avocado toast and a kolache. The kolache was good and the avocado toast was decent but nothing special. When we grabbed our coffees from the bar we again got attitude from the barista. I don’t know who is training these people but yikes! Coffee was average and we were overall not impressed. Compared to other coffee shops in Lubbock, they are severely lacking in customer service and good coffee. Save your money and go...
