Girl Of All Trades

specialty coffee in harlingen doesn't get a lot of national coverage, so when a roaster on w jackson ave builds the kind of word-of-mouth that girl of all trades has, you pay attention. start with whatever single-origin pour-over is on rotation, that's where the roasting sensibility tends to show most clearly. the rio grande valley runs hot for most of the year, so an iced coffee order makes sense here more often than not, and the cold options are worth the same attention you'd give the hot ones. this is a roaster that takes the sourcing and roasting side seriously, which means the cup quality holds whether you're in on a slow tuesday or a packed weekend morning. the address puts you right in harlingen's downtown corridor, a good reason to make it a stop before anything else on w jackson.
