Local spot; excellent baked goods, breakfast & lunch. Fri - Sun 7am - 1pm. (Check their Ig/Fb.) It's on the outer edge of town, so I don't recommend walking.

This is a Marfa staple, and must go! The walls are full of photos of celebrities that have eaten there. Mon - Sat 6 AM - 2 PM. *CASH ONLY* + free coffee station. Beware, it will be the BIGGEST burrito you've ever seen. (Try the "Gordo" burrito, it's named after my brother lol).

Bars

Open Daily @ 3 PM. Local Favorite, and only one block away! It’s a big *outdoor* patio bar, so they may close on especially bad weather days (check social media for updates). Super cool vibe — includes a teepee, treehouse above the bar, school bus, dance floor. Often has live music or DJ on weekends.

Not in Marfa, but deserves honorary mention! Chateau Wright Winery/Vineyard (yes, a *winery* in the high desert!) is a gorgeous 20-minute drive away, and let me tell you, it’s WORTH IT. The wine is actually great, the views are spectacular, and they have a food truck that serves locally-sourced food. Highly recommend! Fair warning: it’s outdoor patio seating only. Open Fri - Mon 12 - 7 PM. Check out their Instagram for special events or expanded hours for holidays and events.

Bars Closing Time

Local ordinance prohibits alcohol sales after midnight on Sun - Fri, and after 1 AM on Saturday. That said, unless stated otherwise, all Marfa bars close 1 AM on Saturdays and midnight all other days.
Qué empacar

Pack Layers

Marfa is in the high desert, which means hot days & cold nights. Do not underestimate how chilly the nights can get. Pack layers and options. I find myself changing outfits throughout the day because of the drastic range of temperatures. Note: wind season is February to May: the wind speeds are very high and unpredictable.
