What El Paso's weather means for coffee shops
El Paso sees roughly 117 days a year at 90°F or hotter, peaking at an average high of 97°F in June, so barista shirts should be light in weight but dark enough to hide coffee stains. Fleece gets a real window here: highs average below 65°F from December to February, long enough to stock a retail hoodie and a cuffed beanie at the register, ideally in time for holiday gift bags of beans. Opening shifts can be cold, with December lows averaging 34°F, so give the morning crew a zip hoodie or crewneck in the shop colors to wear over the barista tee until the room warms up. With 27 days a year at 100°F or hotter, schedule outdoor pop-ups and cuppings for mornings, and give staff who work outside a light-colored cap. With 42 nights a year at or below freezing, hot drinks lead the morning menu in winter, and a retail hoodie paired with a bag of beans makes an easy gift.
