The Only Buc-ee’s Coffee Shop in the World Is in Texas

Coffee is the lifeblood of road trips, and Buc-ee’s knows it. But while every Buc-ee’s slings coffee in some form (usually in the “grab a Styrofoam cup and pray” variety), only one Buc-ee’s has gone full barista mode. Meet Buc-ee’s Beanery, the only dedicated Buc-ee’s coffee shop in the world, because naturally, Texas had to be first.

Drive-Thru Lattes, Beaver Style

Located in Lake Jackson, just outside Houston, this magical caffeine temple is at 598 TX-332 and yes, it has a drive-thru. That means you can grab a latte, mocha, or a frappe the size of your head without even leaving your truck. Take that, Starbucks.

And here’s the kicker: prices are actually reasonable. The most expensive drink, a 24-ounce chocolate hazelnut frappe, is $5.49. Try finding that deal anywhere else in 2025, when most coffee shops are charging the price of a small mortgage for a cappuccino.

Inside, the vibe is less “sit down and work on your laptop” and more “grab it and get out.” Think Dutch Bros energy, not hipster coffeehouse. There are no tables, no Wi-Fi, and no sad indie music playlists, just two baristas, a wall of coffee mugs, beaver plushies, and enough sugar to make a dentist weep.

Sugar Bombs and Liquid Snickers

The menu is stacked with lattes, mochas, americanos, Texas Pecan brewed coffee, frappes, smoothies, and even milk alternatives (soy, almond, oat). But let’s be real, the stars of the show are the sugar bombs.

Take the peanut butter mocha, which clocks in at a casual 830–1170 calories. One sip tastes like a Snickers bar melted straight into your cup. It’s the kind of drink that demands a water chaser and comes with a free sugar crash later, but worth it? Absolutely.

There’s also an espresso con panna (that’s espresso topped with whipped cream for those of us who don’t speak fluent coffee snob) and frappes in white chocolate or strawberries and cream. If you’re trying to keep it Texan, go for the Texas Pecan brew, just enough caffeine to make you forget you’re about to sit in I-45 traffic for three hours.

A Buc-ee’s Bragging Right That Stays in Texas

Lake Jackson isn’t just some random pick for Buc-ee’s fancy coffee experiment. It’s home turf. Buc-ee’s CEO Arch Aplin III grew up there, opened the first-ever Buc-ee’s there, and apparently decided his hometown deserved the only Buc-ee’s coffee shop in existence.

Will we ever get another Buc-ee’s Beanery anywhere else? Probably not. Buc-ee’s won’t say a word, and honestly, keeping it exclusive feels very on brand. For now, this drive-thru coffee bar is yet another thing Texans can brag about while the rest of the country is stuck with regular Buc-ee’s drip coffee.

So next time you’re near Lake Jackson, skip Starbucks and let a giant cartoon beaver fuel your road trip.
