“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.“

“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.🔥✌🏼“

“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!“

“I decided to take a walk and bumped into this nice little place. What started as a chocolate store that turned into a coffee shop. They still sell both. It smells amazing when you walk in and its cozy. The Americano was amazing, seriously it was filled with flavor. Definitely hit this place up whenever you can“

“The drinks are phenomenal, the vibes here are relaxing, the owners are really sweet, the staff are amazing and so kind. The food is delicious and the drinks are amazing!! Best coffee place I have ever been to!!“

“I have felt welcomed from the first time I went in.“

“This place is a tall-ceiling coffee shop vibe. It is in a business tower but it doesn’t feel that way at all. Somehow they’ve made it cozy and inviting inside a giant corporate tower. The coffee is strong, well-sourced, and delicious. The food is all good, especially the sandwiches. They will accommodate any special requests and make sure to go the extra mile to be there for the customer.

This place is not cheap, likely because they pay rent in one of the nicest buildings in the city, but they go the extra mile in quality and service, and for that they are worth every penny. Highly recommend this place for coffee, a quick snack or sandwich, and even some vintage finds in their little clothing shop in the back.

Parking: On the street for free.“

“Super cute, chill coffee shop with bright, airy interior. Lots of varied comfortable seating to work alone or socialize. The coffee is great & reasonably priced. Cold brew is especially good.“

“My parents and I went for our 1st time yesterday, on my bday. It was pack and people were rushing in. I informed the lady I'll be ordering 4 plates. 3 meals 1 dessert. place my order, sat down waited an hour for food. finally arrived informed lady just missing 1 more plate... mine. she said ok and walked away. after waiting for another 30 min. no one ever came back. I asked about my plate cause I knew they were busy and didn't want to be impatient. when I asked cashier about my plate, turns out she never even charged my order. so they just looked at me like a deer in head lights and apologized they didn't know how to compensate. They were too busy to do my order so just compt my tip. i left hungry and bummed out so maybe it'll be to iron out unsatisfied customers after mishap so they're not leaving a Lil negative remarks.“

“Brilliant idea. Coffee shop for men! The military decor is unique and cool. They offer everything from t-shirts to miscellaneous items for men. It
's a cool idea. Strong coffee. I had the vanilla latte and had to ask for extra vanilla. My son gets me lattes from here. I took a girlfriend and she loved it. The lattes and muffins are delicious. Try it...you will like it

Parking: Plenty of free, close parking in the parking lot. 20 spots were available. Level parking lot and easy to access and maneuver a large SUV into and out of parking space.“

“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.“
