Caliche Coffee & Roasters

This place is absolutely gorgeous, and their baristas are super sweet. I love the decor and vibe- and all their different roasts of beans smell delicious. However, I got a cappuccino, and my milk was very foamy with a watery texture :(. My espresso also tasted like it pulled very low. I think this is a gorgeous place, and I recommend going for iced and flavored drinks! It may not be the best for traditional espresso drinks, however.

On a road trip from Phoenix, headed to Austin. This town and in particular, this coffee shop was a great stop. Had an oat milk latte and their banana bread. Both really good! Highly recommend and also next door where you can shop for some great teas. Parking is easy in the back or along the street.

We were up early on Saturday morning and happy to see that Caliche is open at 7am. We walked over and ordered coffee and breakfast. I had a cappuccino and the yogurt parfait with a peach compote and my husband got a kolache and breakfast sandwich. The service was very friendly and we were able to enjoy our morning on their back patio. If you are looking for a full service breakfast situation this is not the place but was perfect for coffee and light breakfast.

Great coffee shop in Fredericksburg! The back patio is perfect for a lazy slow morning. Love that they have a kitchen for savory breakfast. Don’t skip the chicken and grits bowl!!

Amazing flat white! The vibe is super cute too, I loved the Book Lovers magazine and handmade zine and there were flyers for the upcoming book festival! Good coffee AND books? 😍

Got the jalapeño kolache as well as a vanilla latte and cold brew from here while we were in town. Super cute little coffee shop with a fun atmosphere. All the baristas were super nice and the coffees and kolache were amazing!

Really enjoyed the quality of the coffee and the experience. Very friendly baristas that were happy to answer our questions to provide a great cold brew drink to our liking. Love that they use MillKing for their dairy options. This will be our go-to coffee stop anytime we're in Fredericksburg. 👍

Absolutely delicious and fresh breakfast and coffee! Took advantage of the good weather and sat outside. Staff was super friendly and attentive. There was a long line to order, but it moved fast and most people ordered to go so we had no problem getting a place to sit and eat. We are definitely coming back!

Those of you who know and follow me know that I'm kind of a purist. Black coffee as pour over or Americano. Today, I went for a flavored butter pecan and enjoyed it. Irene had her cortado. They roast their coffee.

It's a cute little spot with a long line! We were thinking this was a great sign but were slightly disappointed. The coffee was great, I'll give you that! We ordered a pumpkin pie latte and a butter pecan latte- both were delicious. The food however was quite disappointing. The potatoes were just that; nothing special and needed some seasoning and a little salt. The biggest disappointment though was the jalapeño cheese kolache. In my husband's own words- omg they obliterated this thing! The flavor of the sausage was fantastic but seriously.... It was like 3 minutes past being heated in the microwave. The bread was like rubber and the sausage has zero juice left in it. I would definitely just stick to the coffee if we come back. Be prepared for a long wait! Service was excellent!

Artsy and fun, this spot was a blast! The customer service was on point from beginning to end. It started with a "welcome in" and ended with a "thank you". The service was speedy and the Americano was delicious! I noticed some beautiful artwork inside and lots of cute colorful furniture. I ended up on the patio shaded by a beautiful big tree with peaceful vibes perfect for some reading. I hope to come back when I have more time and try their quiche. They look to have many savory and sweet type snack options. The coffee is the usual selection and reasonable pricing for being off of Main. I will come back more frequently as it starts to cool down for fall and enjoy their patio some more. I bet that old, towering tree will be gorgeous as it's leaves turn.

I'll be smiling ear to ear when it's time for me to depart from Caliche shortly. This place blew me away so much so that I needed to whip out my laptop and type a review in the moment. There's a handful of coffee shops that are so magical and make you feel like they're placing a pause on time and Caliche is one of them. From their cute branded apparel with a roadrunner to their setup inside a cottage, it's just such a cute spot. It really compliments with the decorum of Fredericksburg on their main street but tucked away just enough that it isn't bustling with a crazy crowd. They feature their own roasting and take great pride in their coffee program which is evident in the machinery they utilize. My double shot espresso was one of the smoothest I've had in the states and had me reminiscing of my double espressos in Europe. My fiance had their green chili chicken & grits bowl and he really enjoyed. The person manning the counter highly recommended it and they didn't steer him wrong. I went for a classic kolache and it was made with kielbasa sausage and the bread was more of a brioche style. It was quite pleasant tbh. I think what stands out to me though is the authenticity and genuineness of the staff here. As we enjoyed our coffee and bites, they just seem to create such great conversations (including us) and that's so special. Parking is a little limited on the main street right in front of Caliche; however, take a right at the light right after and you'll see plenty of parking for street. Caliche will forever be on my rotation while visiting Fredericksburg!

Caliche Coffee Bar & Ranch Road Roasters offers a cozy atmosphere with friendly staff and a variety of coffee options. We made a quick stop here on our way back to Houston. They have inside and outside seating. We enjoyed their selection of pastries, coffee, and tea.

Fantastic pumpkin pie latte! It was the best one I have had in a long time! Thank you for still offering pumpkiny drinks.

Need a bit of a 'pick me up'! The farm to market iced coffee is really yummy! Not too sweet and you can actually taste the coffee. I asked the barista to make her favorite. It's very good. I asked for her favorite bread item and she picked the banana bread for me. Delicious. The area inside is small, but this is a walking town. There is a small seating section and the restroom was very clean.

Great coffee and the avocado toast was sooo good. It was really filling. I had the flat white it was made just to my liking. Would definitely venture out here again for coffee.

Walked onto the Main Street from our Airbnb looking for some coffee and this was the perfect location. Easy to find and the ambiance inside was cute. Though we walked I noticed a small parking lot in the back which seemed tucked away- would have been convenient if needed! The barista was very friendly and sociable and helped us decide what we'd like on the menu. Thought my latte was good my SO's matcha was really good. Something I'll come back for and think about for awhile it really did taste like cereal milk!! I'd say Froot Loops if I had to guess? Anyways, don't expect actual matcha flavor to come through on it if you're a die hard matcha lover but it was fun and creative so give it a try!

Went here every morning of our trip. Matcha was very good, staff was super nice, and an overall good vibe!

We saw this cute place and I'm glad we stopped by. We went at a busy time (oops) and had to wait outside but no biggie, weather was in our favor. Service was nice and quick, I'm not a huge converser so it worked great for me. lol I got the avocado toast with kale salad on top and as someone who loves kale and avocado toast, I was very pleased. I also love a good honey latte and it was perfectly balanced here. My husband got a specialty drink (forgot the name!) but was very good too! He got their breakfast burrito which was just okay, normal bacon,egg and cheese and he said it wasn't evenly mixed so the bites were of "just egg" or "just cheese." But he ate half and was good Enough. lol we'd come back for sure when we're back in town.

Cute coffee shop at the end of main street! But the coffee itself is so good. Great espresso being roasted here. I went on a Sunday morning around 10 and there was no wait.

Still our favorite coffee shop in FBG. On Christmas Eve my husband came to get me a coffee at the end of the day and Macy was closing up and she still joyfully let him in and took his order. She made a delicious decaf latte with cinnamon. Today we are enjoying some breakfast! I got the quiche which is always one of my favorites. Husband got his favorite breakfast burrito - The Beck. It has scrambled eggs, bacon and cheese with a side of mild green salsa. I'm also sipping on that Latte once again because yum! It's almost always bustling and alive in here. Very chill spot for a nice little breakfast and cup of joe.

Not great, not bad. Nothing stands out about Caliche coffee. The prices were on par with other shops around and coffee tasted alright.

Cute little coffee spot close to the big church and a windmill and the Pioneer museum. I got a latte heavy sugar and cream service was great and then he was in there so I got right in and it's wonderful. I had a great cup and stop in if you're in Fredericksburg.

I have not found better craft coffee anywhere in the hill country. I'm a "snob" from Houston and can say I know good single origin espresso when I taste it. Otherwise, when picking a new shop to try, I'm a simple guy. I see latte art on business photos, I check the place out. How I've missed this place since it opened several years ago, I don't know. But I'll go nowhere else for coffee (except to my great distaste) any morning I am in Fritztown. The flat whites were darn near perfect. From the jump, the baristas were friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. They were fun to chat with and could answer intimate questions about their roasts. No arrogant vibes, but only cool, calm "We know what we're doing" positivity. Plenty of intimate seating indoors as well as a nice patio out back. I'll be back each morning I'm here without fail. And I'll rep Caliche Coffee everywhere I go with their sick Roadrunner branded sticker on my water bottle. Cheers!

We've been to Caliche a couple of times already and I think they're one of the better coffee options in Fredericksburg. Located on the Main Street, parking could be a little challenging but we've been lucky to not have this issue. The place gets packed during peak times so be prepared to wait - the friendly employees make up for it though. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating which is nice if you want to hang out and chill. As far as the coffee itself, I got a basic latte and it was decent. Not the best I've had, but definitely far from the worst. It did its job. They also offer pastries - we got the banana bread and that was just ok. Overall, after trying a few coffee shops in Fredericksburg when we're in town, I've found Caliche to be the most consistent. We'll definitely be back next time!

Bland food. The avocado isn't fresh. Tastes like a premade spread. Coffee was too sweet. Disappointing. Don't waste your money.

Before doing something in Wine Country town, a cup of coffee would be great. In the Main Street where no chain store and Starbucks allowed! 90s music playing and bring your laptop! Vibing duesutland ( People's land ) in Hill country.

Best chocolate croissant I've ever had, great cappuccinos and they're highly addictive affogatos were so good I had to buy 2 more. I went twice in 3 days. Wish they had a shop in Houston. They'd be so busy it would be insane.

Excellent coffee and snacks! Quick service and cute atmosphere. Staff is friendly and for how busy they are they really are skilled at keeping everyone happy!

Great little coffee and breakfast place on Main in Fredericksburg. Avocado Toast was amazing! Breakfast Burrito made with red potatoes was awesome! Service is very quick, staff is super friendly and coffee is awesome. Great banquet seating with comfy pillows. Very cute little coffee place.

Any time I'm In the hill country I look for the best lavender latte. By Far this one is the best. Tucked away on Main St. Do not miss out!

This place has really good lattes and sweet treats. I stopped by here a few times while staying in the area. They have parking available behind the store and plenty of seating inside/outside (in the back). I LOVED their cranberry orange scone. It was delicious. I will definitely stop by the next time I find myself in the area.

Pretty solid cold brew and single origin espresso blend from this spot that roasts their own beans. Was driving through and this was a great find. Cozy minimalist design inside and the barista was very friendly and dedicated to pulling a good shot and knew about the beans. Highly recommend and will be sure to return when driving through.

I forgot to take pictures.... My husband and I both ordered the breakfast sandwich (he substituted bacon for the egg, so a meat sandwich)... he got iced iced tea and I got an oat milk flat white and added lavender to it. The garlic butter on the breakfast sandwich takes it to another level. Coffee was delicious and we will definitely visit again the next time we are in town. Go give them your business!

On our first morning in Fredericksburg, a couple of the early risers from my group and I decided to grab some coffee in town. It is right on Main Street and has the small town charm to it. We came right as they opened and were greeted by their super friendly staff. It's a cute little coffee shop with a a cozy little seating area off to the sides. They have a little fridge with to go drinks and treats as well. We found this spot last minute so I didn't get to study the menu prior to coming. The chai latter immediately stood out to me, so I got that with almond milk. It was very well made and very tasty. I would order it again. We ended up getting a few more orders for our friends and everyone really liked their drinks as well. I would definitely come back when in the area!

Cute coffee shop with good coffee selection. Very limited food selection. The bagel we got was inedible (like a stale lenders that had been microwaved then toasted back to "life") but I think it's unfair to judge their food on something they obviously aren't claiming to bake. However, with all the incredible coffee shops around Fredericksburg, we are unlikely to be back.

Cute little cafe, the setting is perfect if you're wanting to beat the heat or find a place to do some work. Coffees themselves are quite good as well, all the standard options.

Very lovely and kind staff! They started our morning off in a great mood and gave us nice recommendations of what to do in Fredericksburg. The coffee was delicious and the kolaches were some of the best ever!

Amazing ambiance with excellent excellent service! Loved meeting "Dare" the beautiful pup - must try in Fredericksburg!

A great little (and quite popular) coffee shop! It was a cold and dreary Sunday morning, so no wonder why this place was busy on this visit. I had a latte with almond milk and sugar free caramel, and it definitely warmed my soul. Their coffee was made just right, and I really like how they have so many syrup options. Would recommend!

Hungover? The good people and coffee will get you started, but the green chile chicken grits are an absolute game changer. I've eaten at some incredible restaurants with famous chefs that didn't have anything on the menu as good as these grits. This green posole style dish is the food equivalent of someone closing the blackout curtains, setting the thermostat to 68, turning on your favorite Netflix show, and tucking you in to bed. Don't leave Fredericksburg without this dish in your belly.

Super cute spot inside and out BUT we were not pleased with the coffee at all! service was great, very kind people. Coffee was just too bitter even when sweetener don't think I'll come back

Just go here. No questions asked. Me and my fiancé literally went here all three days that we were here. Food and coffee is 10/10 and the staff is really nice.

Cute and quirky coffee place with big patio and great cappuccinos. The flavor is wonderful and the foam is perfect they have a fancy Italian machine. Ample seating indoors with nooks and art on the wall. We came twice!! Reminds me of the fine quality found at Intelligentia coffee houses! Good value and highly recommended!

Was looking for a quick-yet-not-fast-food breakfast on our way out of Austin area for a road trip. Thanks to Yelp, we found this gem. Even though it was a whole *hour* outside of Austin, it looked so good we decided to push our morning hangry limits and wait til we passed through Fredericksburg to have breakfast. So glad we did. Cozy cafe. Delicious Autumn Spice Latte with maple. And this Gravlax Bagel to die for. The. Best. Bagel. I have found in TX! Fresh, perfectly toasted, crisp on the outside, dense & chewy (not bready) on the inside. Perfectly seasoned. And the toppings were soooo yum. The perfect balance of fresh lite veggies, salty smoked salmon, decadent chive cream cheese, and just enough pickly bits to kick the flavor punch up a notch. Only sad I can't get this deliciousness more often, but we'll definitely stop whenever we're passing through in the morning!

This is the best coffee I've had in a long time. Strongly recommend a Guatemalan pour over. The peach parfait topped with homemade granola was also soooo good. I had to come back twice for these same selections.

We came here during our most recent trip to Fredericksburg and needed some coffee and protein before staring our day of wine tastings and this place totally hit the mark! We squeezed inside and got in line to order which moved very quickly. I ordered a lavender latte based off other reviews which was a solid choice. They also had seasonal offerings which all sounded delicious as well. I ordered a jalapeño kolache which was super delicious. The offer other protein options including breakfast sandwiches and burritos. The inside is really cute with a unique vibe. The only two "complaints" I have are that we ordered our drinks to have at the restaurant and they were still served to us in a to go cup, and the to go cup wasn't branded at all/was a plain white cup. They have such cute branding so it was a bummer they didn't display it on their cups. But we will definitely come back next time we are on Main Street needing coffee!

The food was so amazing. you can taste the farm fresh eggs and the sausage is to die for. i got the breakfast sandwich and it was amazing. everything we got was so fresh and we will recommend this little hidden gem to anyone and everyone!!! this was the perfect breakfast place.

Service was great and coffee was delicious! Very friendly staff and so excited they were open on Thanksgiving morning with friendly smiles and a welcoming attitude. Totally recommend and worth the stop.

Best coffee in town! Chicken grits bowl is amazing, my boyfriend also loved the bech burrito. Would recommend and come back.

Such a nice cozy spot! Had the lavender latte and the breakfast sandwich. Service was fast and friendly despite the long line. Both great. Small indoor sitting area but plenty on the patio.

Great breakfast and coffee. I had the best avocado toast with all healthy herbs on it. Highly recommend.

Coffee is legitimately robust. There is a nice ambiance but we didn't stay. We took our Coffee to go as we were exploring. The service was polite and attentive.

Amazing coffee, and friendly service! A really great place to stop and sit for breakfast too, because they have quality, healthy and delicious options. My husband and I both ordered the egg on sourdough toast....delicious and seems like they make their own bread. The atmosphere is bright, quaint and clean, and the laid back feel with their reasonably priced menu was refreshing. Our new coffee/breakfast date place for sure!

Best salad ever! If you'd like a healthy salad with some protein added this is the best in town! Kale, cucumber, apple, avocado, egg

Honestly incredible. The food was above and beyond taste and flavor. The restaurant is cute and they maximize its space. For how busy it was the line moves quickly. It will be a must stop for any trip to Fredericksburg.
