What Lubbock's weather means for coffee shops
Summer in Lubbock runs long rather than extreme, with July averaging a high of 93°F, so a breathable short-sleeve tee works behind the bar for most of the year and a cotton dad hat suits the iced-drink rush. January averages a high of only 55°F, and highs stay under 65°F from November to February, so a midweight hoodie and a beanie have a real season on the retail shelf despite the summer heat. Opening shifts can be cold, with January lows averaging 27°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. Around 84 nights a year dip to 32°F or colder, enough of a winter that a retail crewneck and a beanie make easy add-ons at the register through gift season.
