Sugar Browns Coffee Co.

As an avid coffee shop customer, I decided to flop my laptop and work at Sugar Browns. It was a very busy morning crowd but the staff was quick and friendly. There's not much of a "treat" menu but what was available was okay. The coffee was good and the other coffee drinkers are more than happy to share a table with you if your looking for one. It's a nice place to hangout with friends or work.

Very well laid out seating for anything from studying to group sessions. Staff are always courteous and consistent. As a big cortado fan, I’m grateful for their quality espresso pulls. Chai tea is lacklustre, but if you’re coming here, its probably for their espresso anyways. I’d argue they have some of the best in Lubbock

Very cute and cozy atmosphere. Perfect spot to work, study, or chat with a friend. Coffee was delicious and so was the pumpkin chocolate chip bread. Staff was very nice!

My wife and I came here for some coffee around 9:45 on 11/18. There was a line of 3 people ahead of us, but we only waited about 5-6 minutes to order. We had never been here, but the staff were warm and welcoming and kindly answered all of our questions. My wife got the sugar free decaf vanilla latte, and I got the butter pecan latte. They were both extremely delicious. Best coffee I’ve had in a long time. Not too sweet and absolutely no hints of bitterness. Then we split a breakfast burrito. The burrito was delightful, but a bit pricey for the size. ($6 for what you see in the photo) The green salsa had a big punch of sourness with no spice. It complimented the cheesy bacon flavor of the burrito. Overall, we had a good time and enjoyed some truly excellent coffee.

I have been a long time supporter of Sugar Brown’s Coffee. Even when the owners shifted, I wanted to continue to support this iconic Lubbock coffee shop. However, I can no longer stay quiet about my disappointment. When the staff shifted, no one could make a quality cortado except Dylan. Fortunately, she was a great trainer and eventually other baristas learned to master their cortado making skills. There’s still a handful who… can’t. It’s sad to me because some people seem like they’re only there for a paycheck. The passion for quality coffee is non-existent. A couple of weeks ago, I arrived at 7:30am to see the building closed. No sign, no post on social media. Google said they were opened, but that wasn’t the case. I called them to see if someone would answer and communicate the issue
