787 coffee among gthe 100 best coffee shops in north america and the caribbean 2026

If you have been searching for the best coffee shop in El Paso — the answer is no longer a matter of opinion.

In 2026 The World's 100 Best Coffee Shops evaluated more than 4,600 coffee shops across North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. They brought in 200+ professional judges to evaluate espresso quality, barista technique, sustainability, design, and overall experience. They collected 200,000+ public votes from coffee drinkers across the continent.

787 Coffee was ranked #1 Best Coffee Shop in El Paso Texas.

Not a local poll. Not a social media vote. Not a "best of" list from a magazine. An international evaluation conducted by the same organization that evaluates the best specialty coffee shops in the world — and 787 Coffee came out on top in El Paso.

This is what that means for you as someone looking for great coffee in this city. And this is exactly where to find it.


What Makes 787 Coffee the Best Coffee Shop in El Paso

El Paso has a vibrant coffee scene. There are independent roasters, neighborhood cafés, and international brands competing for your morning cup. So what makes 787 Coffee different? What earned the #1 ranking in a city this size?

The answer starts 2,400 miles away. In the mountains of Puerto Rico.

787 Coffee owns its own farm.

Hacienda Iluminada. Maricao, Puerto Rico. 3,000 feet above sea level in the highest mountains of the island — the same mountains Puerto Ricans call the lungs of the island. This is where the coffee cherry grows. Where it is handpicked at peak ripeness. Where it is honey processed on raised African beds in the Caribbean sun. Where the natural sugars of the fruit absorb into the bean and become the buttery caramel and dark chocolate notes that make the Supremo Roast unlike anything else available in El Paso.

Less than 1% of coffee shops in the world own a coffee farm. 787 Coffee is one of them.

Every chain coffee shop in El Paso — every brand competing for the same morning commuter traffic on Montana Ave, Zaragoza, Alameda, Stanton, and Doniphan — buys their beans from a distributor. They have never visited the farm. They have no connection to the soil that produced the coffee in their machines.

787 Coffee grew it.

That is the difference between a cup and an experience. Between caffeine and craft. Between a coffee shop and the #1 ranked coffee shop in El Paso Texas.



How 787 Coffee Is Different From Every Other Coffee Shop in El Paso

The Freshest Coffee in El Paso — Roasted Right Here

787 Coffee roasts its beans at the Montana Ave location — a working roasting facility on one of El Paso's busiest commercial corridors. When you order a coffee at any 787 Coffee location in El Paso the beans were roasted locally and recently. Not months ago in a warehouse on the other side of the country. Here. In El Paso. Fresh.

Most coffee you drink in El Paso — including from nationally recognized specialty brands — was roasted weeks before you tasted it. Flavor is lost within days of roasting. The difference between a freshly roasted bean and a stale one is the difference between a cup that surprises you and a cup that is just coffee.

787 Coffee at Montana Ave is where the freshest coffee in El Paso is made every single day.

The Only Drive-Thru Specialty Coffee in El Paso

787 Coffee on Zaragoza Road is the only location in the entire 787 Coffee network — all 34 locations across New York City, New Jersey, Texas, Puerto Rico, and Mexico City — with a drive-thru.

That means El Paso is the only city in the world where you can get an award-winning farm-to-cup Puerto Rican specialty coffee without leaving your car.

The #1 ranked coffee shop in El Paso. With a drive-thru. On the East Side.

If you are a morning commuter on the East Side who has been going through a chain drive-thru because you thought there was no better option nearby — there is. And it is ranked #1 in your city.

The WOW Latte Menu — Drinks Nobody Else in El Paso Makes

Most coffee shops in El Paso have the same menu. Espresso. Latte. Cappuccino. Cold brew. Seasonal syrups from a bottle.

787 Coffee has the WOW Latte program — handcrafted specialty espresso drinks inspired by Latin American and Puerto Rican culture that no other coffee shop in El Paso makes. Because no other coffee shop in El Paso invented them.

🥥 Coquito Latte — invented by 787 Coffee. The most Puerto Rican coffee drink in the world. Handcrafted Coquito WOW Sauce — real coconut, warm holiday spices, natural sweetness — combined with Supremo Roast double espresso. Hot or iced. Year-round. The drink that makes El Paso residents stop and ask what they just ordered.

🍮 Tres Leches Latte — Latin American dessert in espresso form. Sweet cream, vanilla, light caramel. The one that converts people who say they do not like lattes.

🍚 Horchata Latte — cinnamon, rice milk sweetness, subtle vanilla. The most approachable WOW Latte and the one El Paso loves most. Smooth. Familiar. Extraordinary.

🍍 Piña Colada Latte — tropical pineapple coconut brightness. The most photographed drink in El Paso this summer. Order it iced. Post it. Tag us.

🍬 Mazapán Latte — almond, honey, warm nuttiness inspired by the classic Latino candy. The most uniquely 787 Coffee drink on the menu. The one that makes people stop mid-sip.

🥃 Rum, Whiskey and Tequila Infused Lattes — farm-grown Supremo Roast soaked in Don Q Puerto Rican Rum, whiskey essence, or tequila essence for 48 hours before roasting. Non-alcoholic. The boldest most distinctive coffee experience in El Paso. Nothing else like it in the city.

The Cultural Connection

El Paso is a borderland city. A city built on the intersection of cultures — Mexican, American, and everything in between. A city that understands bilingual identity, dual heritage, and the kind of community that forms when two worlds meet at a river.

787 Coffee understands that too. Not as a marketing strategy. As lived experience.

A Puerto Rican founded brand. A family that survived Hurricane María and rebuilt from nothing. A farm in the mountains of an island. A coffee shop on Alameda Ave serving the Lower Valley community. A location on Stanton Street steps from UTEP where students from both sides of the border study, dream, and build their futures over a cup of Horchata Latte.

787 Coffee belongs in El Paso not because it is good coffee. Because it is the right coffee for a city that has always known how to make something extraordinary from the intersection of identities.

Why You Should Buy 787 Coffee —

The Freshest Most Passionate Cup You Will Ever Taste

Here is the truth about most coffee you buy online or at a coffee shop

in El Paso.

It was grown by someone who will never serve it to you. Roasted by someone who will never meet you. Sitting in a bag on a shelf for weeks — sometimes months — before it reaches your cup.

787 Coffee is different. And not because we say so. Because we live it. We are as passionate about coffee as you are. More passionate — because we grew it. We planted the trees at Hacienda Iluminada in Maricao Puerto Rico at 3,000 feet above sea level in the highest mountains of the island. We handpicked every cherry at peak ripeness. We honey processed it in the Caribbean sun. We roasted it fresh at our Montana Ave facility right here in El Paso.

From the soil in Puerto Rico and our partner coffee farms in Puerto Rico, Mexico and Colombia to the roaster on Montana Ave to the cup in your hand — every step of that journey was made by people who love coffee the way you do. People who wake up early not because they have to but because the first pull of espresso at 7am is the best moment of the day and they want to make sure yours is perfect. That passion is in every cup.

You should buy 787 Coffee because freshness is not a feature — it is the foundation. Because farm-to-cup is not a trend — it is the only way we have ever known how to do this. Because when you hold a bag of 787 Coffee you are holding something that was grown with love in Puerto Rico roasted with pride in El Paso and shipped directly to you with one simple promise:

This is the best cup you will ever have. And we grew it ourselves to make sure of it.

Buy 787 Coffee. Taste the difference that passion makes.

Every bag plants a tree in Puerto Rico.

Free shipping nationwide.
