Reserva Coffee Roasters

MY. FAVORITE. COFFEE SHOP. IN THE VALLEY. When you step in the store, you can already tell that this is a calm and soothing coffee shop to study in, to lowkey hang out, to pretty much do anything. I first came when I visited my boyfriend in McAllen. I'm a fan of coffee shops and caffeine in general; so when I travel, I tend to look for coffee shops. I often look at cleanliness and vibes, and Reserva did not disappoint. The Barista immediately gave us the best recommendations and their seasonal favorites were top notch. The Rose Dark Chocolate Mocha, the Almendra, Lavender latte, all of them. My boyfriend and I got hooked so hard that we went almost every day before I left Texas. I need this coffee shop in my life. I need this coffee shop in Toronto, Pronto! Oh and their avocado toast with salmon on top? I pray they don't increase the price. If I lived in Texas, I'd buy it every day.

Forget Starbucks! While walking around looking to endulge in a gourmet, fancy cupcake, I stumbled across this wonderful little coffe shop! The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and in addition to the unique assortment of beverages and pastries, the level of service by one of the baristas was beyond superior. The young Filipina lady smiled ear to ear for every customer, was welcoming and patient, answering numerous questions about menu items, and seemed to run the entire shop herself. I saw her take multiple orders, then prepare the drinks and food, while two other workers, more or less, stood around and chatted, when they were in view.... The young lady, whom I regret not getting her name, was a ball of sunshine, really getting to know her customers. This will be my exclusive coffee stop whenever I am in McAllen. When I finally did sip my drink, which was artistically decorated with a heart, it was amazing - bursting with hints of lavender and cocoa (spring menu), while maintaining that rich espresso aroma.
