"My husband and I are driving across the country and wanted a coffee shop, other than just Starbucks. We found this place on Google maps, and WHAT A TREAT! We stopped in just now and what a delightful experience. Mr. Carson spoke with us and made two delicious pumpkin lattes with oat milk! My husband had the ham and Swiss and I had the pain au chocolat. Absolutely delicious and rivals pastries we ate in Italy! If you are in Tucumcari, this is a MUST STOP! Precious people, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere."

"What an amazing place! Incredibly friendly and helpful, connected me right up for laptop power and wireless, amazing food, great prices, plus cool touristy stuff. Carlson's already seems to be an adored local spot, but any place that fundamentally looks out for us long-distance travelers is especially special!"

"If you are headed down i40w or stopping along route 66, you need to stop at Carlsons in Tucumcari. You can tell the owners really care about their customers, both the locals and tourists. The coffee is amazing and the pastries and goodies are to die for! A super cute vintage inspired coffee shop that looks like something you would see in a big city. I love that it is here in little Tucumcari and I will definitely be asking for treats to be sent back home to us in NC when we aren't out here visiting! Seriously, stop by and try this place out. You wont regret it!!!"

"A yummy unique lil spot. We were able to get some great coffee, espresso drinks and yummy pastries. They have quite a few gluten-free options on their menu as well which I really appreciated. My sister really liked her burrito (the salsa in particular really added to it 🙌). The drip coffees were great, they had a really unique one that was flavored that we all like and a spicy aztec mocha drink with cayenne. I got a chocolate croisant wich was yummy, definitely get it warmed up though. There is a lot of chocolate in the center and it can be really solid out of the case. Overall the vibes were great. Cute local goods, yummy baked good, fun seating, and great service."

"Pleasant place for a quick bite and coffee. Great atmosphere. Buildings bricks are covered with travelers names and where they’re from."
