“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 😊😉“

“Great taste and great sauce selection.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Made my day! I wish I would've gotten their names, but I passed through at 613pm on 6/16 after having a semi rough day and they brightened it up without even knowing! 🥹 thank you for the stickers!! I'll be promoting everywhere I go!“

“Is this real?... I love it here!

On the Grind has the most flavorful coffee and beverage blends!

Yes, in my personal opinion, better than Starbucks flavors blends. The staff are always super friendly, happy, and accommodating! 🌟 🤩“

“Downtown areas of cities normally have a lot of coffee competition. It seems like every few blocks has at least one cafe spot. You have to do something to stand out. For Mozna, it’s having chocolate based specialty lattes in addition to selling different kinds of chocolates; plus common sweets. Without a doubt, I would recommend the specialty coffees over the regular coffee options. Not necessarily because the latter are bad, but because the former are incredibly well done. In my opinion, this is one of the top spots in downtown San Antonio for coffee, and I think I will be coming back.“

“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.“

“What's Brewing In San Antonio Texas.💯🙏“

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

“We took our four kiddos. Everyone was amazing and kind. I love that the cafe has so many opportunities for individuals with special needs. The cafe is warm and the decor is beautiful. Our oldest has DS and celiac; it’s so nice to find a place where she can enjoy everything on the menu. She loves strawberries so, she appreciated the strawberry cake. We will absolutely be going back!“

“You owe it to yourself and your friends to go enjoy this hard working family's beautiful creation! What a treasure! Thank you guys for making my visits to San Antonio so fantastic!“

“I had a meet up for my birthday here a couple weeks ago and we had a great time. The Baristas were super helpful and made our drinks con poro amor . Mucho Gracias !! Wishing yall continued success, peace, love,!and prosperity!“

“We tried their summer menu item (salted brown sugar shaken espresso with blueberry cold foam) and the taste was way better than expected , the flavors were delicious.
The woman at the counter was very welcoming, and helpful. The interior is super cute and comfy to hang out or if your waiting for your coffee. Loved the prayer wall paper in the back ❤“

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

“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!“

“One of my top 2 coffee spots in San Antonio - super yummy, cool art, fast service and the Baristas are all super nice. I live on the riverwalk and this is my #1 spot for the tastiest coffee. Super clean bathroom which makes me happy because they pay attention to the details.“

“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“

“We loved our experience here—the barista was lovely to talk to, and the vibe was chill and of course great music! Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Such a great taste of coffee! We were visiting some family and found this local shop. The owner was super friendly and provided us with a variety of knowledge for her Coffee drinks. You have to try the banana pudding iced latte and the Avani. Those were delicious! See you next time!“

“Clean Comfy Cozy Coffee Shop. Cookies and Pastries. While I was there, they had a very entertaining music and poetry event.“

“I have visited Qatra Speciality Coffee several times. The coffee is decent, I do like it. I’ve had different Yemeni coffee at other places. I think it depends on their specific way of making it and it comes out differently in different places. The atmosphere is modern and the shop is clean, it feels cozy or inviting and I think it’s a good place for kids to hang out“

“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!“

“I had a quick day trip so San Antonio and stopped here before heading home. I got The Pickle Country Club sandwich and a matcha latte. The sandwich was amazing. Particularly the milk bread. The matcha latte had a bit more milk than I like but still pretty good. I also really liked the atmosphere. Looked like a nice spot to bring a laptop and get work done. I’d definitely recommend!“

“My husband and I have passed by this spot multiple times. We finally decided to give it a try and my oh my is it fabulous. The owner and his son greeted us and were extremely kind. We ordered the chilaquiles divorciados with eggs, a croissant sandwich (comes with hash brown, fruit and 2 churros), vanilla and caramel iced lattes, a vanilla concha and a warmed up cornbread. The chilaquiles and churros are hands down the best I’ve tried in all of San Antonio. 11/10. The hash brown was a little greasy and I wish they had more speciality coffee options. All in all it was an amazing experience, they have plenty of indoor seating and the ambiance was clean and peaceful. Try it out!! You won’t be disappointed.“

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

“coffee is fire is all I can really say.“

“Sip & Sit is my absolute favorite!! When you visit this cute little coffee shop on the Southside of town, you immediately become family! Martha & Jacqueline are amazing people with big hearts, with a passion to make you feel at home in their coffee shop. You will not be disappointed with any item on their menu. Their prices are reasonable and their drinks are fabulous & flavorful! Thank you, Martha, for the drive by this morning! You super melted my heart!“

“Staff was super sweet and knowledgeable of products, this being our first visit. When you walk it in it smells so clean and refreshing!!! Definitely will be going back soon.“

“This is a favorite go to place for a family member. So we went to visit Stranded Coffee together. It is a trailer coffee shop. You walk up from the outside place your order at the window and then your coffee comes to you a few minutes later. We ordered holiday themed drinks because it was near Christmas. My coffee was good, it arrived hot and it was pretty to look at. I highly recommend.“

“If you haven't been, you have to go and try it out. The owners are top notch and their coffee products and selections are top notch!!!“

“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.“

“Coffee and breakfast croissant“

“Great staff“

“Summer Moon Coffee SATX.💯🙏“

“The best customer service! Every selection is worth the stop!“

“space is beautiful. Everything was so clean, well-kept, and thoughtfully designed. The playground was such a highlight—my baby had a good time exploring and playing with other kids. It honestly felt like such a welcoming, safe environment, and all the moms there were kind and friendly. That alone makes it a really special spot.
But… the coffee was disappointing! for a place centered around coffee, that’s tough. It just didn’t hit the mark at all. wanted to love this place because the atmosphere is 10/10 for moms and littles. If they improved the coffee, it would easily be a go to spot.“

“Best place and coffee!! Recommend“

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

“Vela Coffee just feels good to be in. It’s the kind of place where you walk in a little rushed or distracted, and somehow leave calmer than when you arrived. There’s a quiet warmth to it not just in the space, but in the way everything is done. I remember taking that first sip of coffee and actually pausing for a second. It wasn’t just good it felt comforting, like something familiar but better than expected. You can tell there’s real care behind it, and that makes a difference you can feel, not just taste.“

“I only recently heard the my city (SATX) had a PJs. Woooowhooo. I discovered this Bulverde Rd location is only about 12 minutes away. So,.., here we go. 3 biegnwts and a classic dark roast chicory coffee. Oh my. Yum. Slap ya Momma and run around da room! It was good and I'm glad I came. Nice quiet atmosphere with the just right NOLA music ambiance to help me remember my roots. Staff was friendly. All good. I'll be back!!!“

“Love this place been here twice it’s good every time and the workers are always cool. Really really good signature drinks and they can infuse with thc/cbd and kava. My staple coffee shop in SATX! Oh and get the honey lavender for sweetener if you like floral!“

“Been coming here for sometime & really enjoy it. I always get excellent service. The staff is always helpful to help suggest new menu items to try. They get your order out fast & let you know the store hours, if you ask. It's a great place to relax or study.“

“First time I tried it and I’m impressed.“
