50 Best Coffee Shops near Alamo Heights

“Best cheesecake in a jar ever!! Only thing I have is that I wish it was a little closer to where I live but it is what it is 😊😉“

“OMGOSH! I have driven by this place hundreds of times as it’s right down the street from where I work. Six mini churos! Ridiculously good. I didn’t get any sauce with them, they didn’t need it. LOVE this place!“

“The service is amazing here! The staff is friendly and coffee is great. They roast their own beans which is a plus for me. Tried their croissant tasted like I was in Paris. My wife had the horchata latte and loved it.“

“Ayla was amazing. She made the experience at folklores amazing. Great services, invested in conversation, and a master of her craft. Will definitely stop by, more often as long as she’s the barista.🔥✌🏼“

“Really nice place. Great coffee and good atmosphere.“

“It's a nice place, but if I drop into a neighborhood (or any) coffee shop on a Sat a.m. I expect a Sat a.m. "coffee atmosphere" - quiet, laid-back. Suddenly in comes a bunch of pre-teens, cackling and shouting. Too many parents make the mistake of assuming that we all want to see and hear their kids: teach them to recognize and respect quiet. Otherwise, as I said, a nice and convenient spot with a good selection for coffee and low-dB conversation.“

“My car broke down and I managed to get it into the parking lot at 7Brew. I was stuck there for 3 hours while I waited for the tow truck. The staff was so friendly and sweet and they checked on me and brought me cold water and a very tasty lemonade.
I told Jasmine I'd give her a shout-out so hey Jasmine!
I'll go back the next time I want coffee!“

“I took my first sip and didn’t even realize I said out loud, “Wow, that’s so good.”

I had ordered a simple cold brew but anyone who knows coffee understands there’s nothing simple about cold brew. It takes time, precision, and a deep understanding of the craft. This place clearly gets it.

Bright Coffee lives up to its name: a beautiful, inviting space with exceptional customer service and seriously impressive coffee.

Thank you, Bright Coffee. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Healthy muffins and cookies are delicious. I love to visit with friends and the owner is friendly as well as the service being professional. Their menu is amazing. I enjoy their pancakes & great mushroom, Spinach omelet. It's one of my go to restaurants for the great people and food. I highly recommend this place.“

“Worth the drive and get what you pay for.. outstanding coffee .. leaves Starbucks and Dutch Bros in the dust.. just not as convinent because there aren't as many. Too me worth passing up the 3 coffees shops right on my block and driving ten 30 minutes“

“Cozy place to work and sip on some coffee. Loved the vibe and decor 💛“

“The service and the coffee. I find that as a coffee place, the quality of the barista skills is paramount to a great cup of coffee. I am not a fan of eating there but the coffee and the beverage counter service is exceptional. I particularly like a young lady named Victoria (I think) who is exceptional at coffees and mock tails. Particularly a Mojito. Thanks for the great time I had“

“I enjoy Mozna so much. It’s a great place. Beautifully designed with enough seating for a large group of people. They also make chocolate bars. Such a great date experience. Just call ahead because there is usually one person working there and this takes time. This allows you to have a great experience with the store being able to still run. The chocolate is amazing. The Zebra Latte is my favor. Go check them out. Do homework there. Host a coffee meetup, book club. Just a great place.“

“Has to be considered one of the best coffee places in San Anton'. Well balanced and smooth roast and their add-ons plus bakery items from Bakery Lorraine all served vibrantly by friendly baristas makes Theory great in Practice too!“

“Love this little coffee shop. Downtown, near work, quaint and perfect. Great food, drinks, and art.“

“Nice little hidden gem! Good selection of coffees, wine and pastries as well as super friendly staff!“

“Cold Brew from here was off the hook. Best in San Antonio no doubt. Be back soon. Very busy spot especially on the weekends. Cashiers were to the point and prompt and had the cold brew ready before I even paid despite being heavily crowded at the time I was there. I would highly recommend any local or out of town coffee fiends to try this place out.“

“Excellent service and price. Highly recommend the Butterly Pea Tea.“

“Stumbled in one day needing to grab a quick coffee for me and my friend. I was taken away by how clean and elegant this coffee shop is! Truly a hidden gem. Although I didn’t take a photo of my coffee since I was in a rush, I did snap some photos of the ambiance. Staff was also polite and recommended a seasonal fall drink. Will definitely be back!“

“My favorite locally roasted coffee in central Texas, hands down! I live in Bastrop county and order my coffee online. Their deliveries are fast and dependable. Love y’all, San Antonio Coffee/What’s Brewing 😘“

“Kiki's is one of the truly great cafes in town. A friendly staff, excellent coffee and a full bar plus a tempting desert case invite you in. Well designed comfortable interior with a French style patio for those cooler days give you additional reasons to return. Kiki's is dog friendly so feel free to bring Sparky! PS: Kiki's is named after the owners pup who occasionally makes a guest visit!“

“Amazing teas and incredible service.“

“The Jewel cafe and bar is just as it's name states, " A Jewel in San Antonio". My husband, 23 year old daughter and I visited this establishment Saturday morning. The new owners are more than friendly and welcoming. They educated my family on the history of the business and when it was a home. They elaborated on their menu and services. The property and fractions of it can be reserved for private parties and events. I ordered the cappuccino with almond milk and hazelnut syrup. Amazing! I can change this up several ways, which is my intention in the future. My husband ordered a peach mango tea. Hot. He loved it, also. My daughter ordered a Latte with almond milk and hazelnut syrup. She agrees this is the best coffee drink she has had and the luxurious but comfortable and casual home atmosphere made it 100% better. My husband also ordered a cinnamon roll. One of the many pastry options available. There are many areas to sit inside or outside, to enjoy the treats. Something good to know, behind the establishment is their private parking lot. This makes it easy to park safely and not worry about crowded curb parking. I highly recommend the Jewel to all folks looking for a coffee, breakfast house to enjoy quality time with family and friends. I do know they are open in the evenings also, offering a full bar alongside coffee, to those who love to unwind with a cocktail. The owners told me of so many plans to serve their community, in this coming year, that I cannot remember it all. I, for sure, will be coming back with new folks to give everyone I know an experience worth having.“

“First time coming in I was very overwhelmed and confused by the menu layout but the barista I believe named Kashiyana (sorry if speed wrong!) was so helpful and guided me to pick out the perfect breakfast and matcha. I wish I’d taken a photo but I couldn’t wait to dive on in! I’ll def be back soon!“

“Great service and the barbaco grilled cheese is amazing!“

“Amazing coffee! Super quick service as well.“

“This place is incredible! If you haven’t been, well worth the trip. The coffee is second to none, and the staff were very friendly and informative. The Atmosphere made me want to stay all day. If you’re going to IKEA, this is a must stop!“

“Smooth great tasting coffee! Super sweet helpful staff! Must try!“

“I was in the mood to try a new coffee shop in the downtown area . I got The Iced Sugge latte ( brown sugar & raw sugar blended with cinnamon and shaken espresso and milk ) and my Dad got a hot latte we both loved our drinks . Definitely would come again !“

“This is by far my favorite coffee shop. BRCC has the nicest employees, coffee is great and the atmosphere is amazing. I’m not a veteran but I work with veterans and I love seeing how many vets visit this coffee shop and talk to each other.“
