items I recently moved to Lubbock, Texas and these are my favorite places to go!

Monomyth is one of those coffee shops where you can tell pretty quickly that they actually care about the coffee. It has a more specialty-coffee feel than a typical “cute coffee shop with a million syrups” situation, which I honestly appreciate. The ...
Monomyth Coffee
Gold Stripe is probably one of my favorite types of coffee-shop discoveries because it feels like somewhere you actually stumble upon rather than somewhere that’s screaming at you to take an Instagram picture. The Cactus Alley location especially has...
Gold Stripe Coffee Roasters
He-Brews is a very cute little coffee shop. The location is what makes it special because you’re surrounded by the lake, greenery, and outdoor space, so getting coffee can turn into an entire little outing. I especially like the idea of getting a dri...
He-Brews Coffee
Nashwell feels like the coffee shop for people who want coffee, food, art, and a place to actually hang out all at once. It’s got this artsy, creative energy that makes it feel more interesting than a standard café, and the Australian-inspired food g...
Nashwell Cafe
Cast Iron Grill is one of those places where I feel like you almost have to try it just to understand why people in Lubbock talk about it so much. It’s very old-school, very homey, and very much not trying to be a minimalist brunch café with $16 toas...
Cast Iron - Grills
Taqueria Jalisco is the kind of restaurant I like because the menu is huge enough that everyone can find something. You can go for breakfast, tacos, traditional plates, seafood, birria, or just something comforting and Mexican. It’s casual and busy, ...
Taqueria Jalisco
Orlando’s is interesting because it isn’t really trying to be authentic Italian in the traditional sense. It’s more like Italian-American comfort food got dropped into Lubbock and decided to stay. The portions are big, the menu is massive, and they h...
Orlando's Italian Restaurant
Triple J feels like a very classic “Lubbock night out” restaurant. You’ve got steak, burgers, seafood, pizza, house beer, and usually some kind of lively atmosphere going on. The Depot District location makes it feel like more of an experience than j...
Triple J Chophouse & Brew Co.
The Shack is exactly what I want a Texas BBQ restaurant to feel like. It’s casual, rustic, unfussy, and the food is clearly the reason you’re there. Brisket, ribs, sausage, and especially the big beef rib get a ton of love from customers. The best pa...
The Shack, BBQ
Taquería Autlán is more of a casual neighborhood Mexican restaurant, and honestly, those are sometimes my favorite. The menu is huge, so you can get everything from breakfast plates to tacos, birria, soups, and combo plates. There’s also a pretty big...
Taquería Autlán
This is a real digging-through-the-racks kind of thrift store, which I personally think is more fun than walking into a resale shop where everything is already perfectly curated. You can find clothing, furniture, home goods, random decorations, and t...
American Council of the Blind
Scarlet Road is much more of a “I need a cute outfit” shopping trip than a traditional department-store experience. It’s a local women’s boutique with trendy clothes, accessories, and pieces that feel more current and styled than your average mall ba...
Scarlet Road
j. hoffman’s is a completely different shopping experience from Scarlet Road. It’s been a Lubbock institution for decades, so this is more of an established boutique with a focus on higher-end clothing, shoes, and accessories. It’s the kind of place ...
Hoffman's Ice Cream
Uptown Cheapskate is basically the middle ground between thrifting and regular shopping. You get the excitement of finding recognizable brands secondhand, but everything is generally more organized and current than a traditional thrift store. If you’...
