When it comes to Amarillo, we have great choices in just about every food type imaginable.  However, when it comes to visiting a place, sometimes we just want to sit and enjoy ourselves with a cup of coffee or tea and maybe a little something to eat.

Amarillo has a plethora of full-service restaurants and fast food restaurants (just look at the Long John Silver's craze), but sometimes, you just want a café.

What Makes a Café Special in Amarillo?

A café is defined as,

a small restaurant selling light meals and drinks.

Local Chains vs. Independent Cafés in Amarillo

The great thing about Amarillo is that there isn't a lack of coffee in the Yellow City; we have some great coffee stops in town. We have a great selection of chains, including Starbucks, Dutch Bros., 7 Brew, and Scooters. But we also have amazing local stops like Roaster's, Yellow City Grind, and 806 Coffee Lounge.  Soon we'll have Paint Rock Coffee Co. as well.
