11 Best Cafes in Midland

“This might be the best lunch I've ever had. Turkey bacon croissant with broccoli cheese soup It rly hits the spot on a rainy day. The cowboy bites are as great as I imagined. Corn fritters with jalapeno, cheese and bacon. House made chips with green chili queso are fantastic as well. My bf had the TX patty melt, best he's ever had too. Can't say a negative thing about this place. Our new fav“

“Great place to eat in Midland! Service was excellent and the food was hot, fresh and we will definitely be back next time we visit! Thank you for being a great place to catch up with friends!“

“Great little place just off 20 a few blocks worth the drive“

“Delicious food every time! I love the Mal, chicken strips, and fries! Always friendly service!“

“My family and I enjoy all of the flavor options and especially the sugar free flavors. Allison Valenzuela was so helpful and has a great personality. We will definitely be back.“

“Good falafel and gyro. I like the more traditional coffee's. Very inclusive and relaxing. only real complaint I have is I never know if they're open or not and usually walk or ride a bike there on my lunch break from a nearby Walmart. One suggestion would be to update on social media if closing early that day so I can plan accordingly. will keep coming just a small nitpick for improvement. Nice to have a local sit down spot in a town that's mostly drive thru and chain coffee. free wifi and phone chargers“

“We recently hosted a baby shower at Cafe at the Gardens (Aldridge Gardens) and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! I was hosting the event for a friend, and the entire team went above and beyond to make the day so special. Alisha, the manager, was absolutely amazing—so kind, professional, and helpful throughout the whole planning process. Her assistant manager (I feel terrible for forgetting his name!) was also fantastic. They helped by having the tables already set up, provided linens for all the tables, and made sure we had everything we needed for our group of about 50–60 guests. They helped me choose a great menu that worked perfectly for our group. The food was the perfect amount, everything tasted great, and they had the full staff available to serve drinks and assist wherever needed. Even clean-up was a breeze—they took care of all the trash, which was a huge relief! The setting was beautiful, the staff was wonderful, and the price was incredibly reasonable. We’re so grateful for such a posh and stress-free experience. Highly recommend for any special event!“

“Stepping into Leyenda Coffee & Tequila in downtown Midland, I found what many coffee spots merely aspire to: a truly stylish, high-end ambiance that makes you feel you’ve ducked into an upscale lounge rather than your average café. Everything from the lighting to the finishes speaks of design done right.

The highlight? Their cocktail-meets-coffee game. I highly recommend the Nitro Martini Latte — the nitrogen infusion gives a smooth rush that thins the boundary between espresso and evening drink. Perfect for a lunch break that wants a little “cheat” without dragging into the night.

Yes, they’ve got WiFi and outlets, but let’s be honest: this isn’t a “plug in and grind” workspace. This is a “kick back and savour” kind of place, especially since the public library is just around the corner for contrast. So bring your laptop only if you must — really, come for the experience.

And one more thing: on the parking lot you’ll spot an old food-truck turned mini-exhibit about the Pachoco subculture — the wild middle ground between 1920s jazz gangsters and modern low-rider Latino style. For someone who’s been to 100+ cafés, that’s a first and it makes Leyenda memorable.

In short: thoughtful space, unique drinks, and a mood that says “you’re treated like someone who knows better.” Highly recommended — don’t just visit, experience.“
