50 Best Coffee Shops near Lackland Afb

“I was so impressed with the service I received from Nicole. She was friendly, patient, & determined to please her customers. I was also amazed with how efficient she worked the register & assisted in preparing our drinks. No doubt she's a valuable asset to the Starbucks team!“

“ELISE CUISINE is the manifestation of owner Rocio’s ten-year dream, and her dedication and commitment to her dream is evident down to the smallest details. The dining space is simple, but quite lovely, and the atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. Service was excellent and perfectly balanced in attentiveness. With hours of 7 AM to 4 PM, this is a breakfast and lunch place, with a varied and adventurous menu that caters to meat-eaters, vegetarians, vegans, and diners in need of gluten-free alternatives. On my first visit, I had the excellent spicy fried chicken sandwich, with sides of home fries and a wonderful arugula salad with cherry tomatoes, quinoa, and a balsamic vinaigrette perfectly blended between sweet and acidic. I look forward to returning again and sampling the extensive breakfast menu. Plenty of beverages are available, and there is a stately espresso machine that speaks to a restaurant that means business when it comes to coffee. This area of Potranco has been in dire need of a sit-down coffee house alternative to Starbucks, and ELISE CUISINE is it. I’ll admit that I was initially a bit cowed by the menu prices, but the portions are very generous; I left with half my meal unfinished, so I was really getting two meals for the price of one, and in truth, virtually all the dine-in, non-fast food alternatives in the area are similarly priced, with nowhere near the ambience and elegance. I plan to be a regular at ELISE CUISINE from here on out.“

“If you live in San Antonio, stop by this cozy coffee shop, you'll be glad you did. Try the Eggnog Horchata, the Mezcal infused Coffee and of course their Cafe de Olla, everything is so good that I expect to frequent this place often!“

“As soon as we walked in we’re were greeted, the owners are very polite and super friendly. Their Chilaquiles and Churros are to die for. Best churros I’ve had living in Texas so far. 100% recommend them for a good meal for breakfast or lunch. They serve Beer too!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“amazing coffee and a very friendly family space. great place to meet up as there is plenty of space!“

“Lo recomiendo todo delicioso y no se digan Las Conchitas bonito lugar acogedor , y una atención especial!! Saludos 👋“

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

“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 only regret is not getting a large! We had two delicious drinks (iced vanilla latte breve/iced chai latte) and some sweet treats! Great little coffee shop! Definitely my new fave stop 🩵“

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

“If you haven’t been to this coffee shop you’re missing out. They are known for their coco cajeta syrup which is delicious! My go to order is a vanilla latte half sweet or lavender matcha half sweet. The service is crazy fast. Sometimes my drink is out before I’ve even paid. There’s usually open seating on the weekdays to sit and work as well. I highly recommend checking them out 😊 my only note would be to add some baked goods or food menu items.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“Putting 5 stars because they will not post my one star review.. walked into the Summer Moon today around 10a, at Culebra Rd. Worst service.. the young barista wearing eye liner/shadow needs a new job.. poor attitude, angry… my first time; but I will not return..“

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

“Second time here and they don’t miss! I came in on Wednesday and they were offering these cute mini donuts, fresh, warm, and so good. The atmosphere is peaceful, the area is super clean, and the whole vibe is just perfect. We tried the fall menu drinks and they were delicious! Definitely coming back again.“

“Coffee and breakfast croissant“

“This place is one of one. I truly enjoyed myself and loved the collaboration between Yelp, the Pilates instructor, and the coffee shop. I will definitely be returning and have already recommended it to some friends. Not only was the ambience really nice, it was spacious and the people are so kind. I enjoyed my pumpkin chai and the kolaches? One of the best I’ve had!“

“Amazing coffee! Super quick service as well.“

“I’m visiting from Houston and my daughter always gets her morning drinks from Stranded. So I tried it and I’m very pleased with the hot coffee. I ordered the Pumpkin spice latte and it was delicious! If you haven’t tried this place you’re missing out of the BEST coffee in San Antonio.“

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

“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 I tried it and I’m impressed.“

“Stopped here after a visit to the Love Lock Bridge for dirty chai lattes. Service was quick and our barista was very friendly. The Mexican vanilla (my favorite) was an amazing treat in our lattes!! Will definitely be back!!! 10/10“

“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!“

“came in for the first time! amazing service and the mini donuts are delicious!! Thank You . Found my new coffee stop!“

“Great selection…friendly staff“

“I absolutely love B Squad! From the moment I drive up, I’m greeted with the warmest atmosphere and the friendliest smiles. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the amazing staff—they make me feel like part of the family every single time. Their friendliness and attention to detail always leaves me feeling welcome and valued.

Whether I’m grabbing my morning espresso or enjoying a leisurely afternoon latte, the quality is consistently excellent.

I’ve been coming here for a while now, and they have quickly become my go-to place for both great coffee and a sense of belonging. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for not only fantastic drinks but also an experience that feels like home!“

“My partner has been several times I went today for first time and my latte was perfection. Scone was fresh and tasted homemade. Highly recommend very cool vibe.“

“Amazing coffee and friendly staff ❤️“

“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 !“

“I’ve had great experiences at this location over the last two years, but Tab truly stood out! I was ordering a drink after minimal sleep before a 12 hour shift and she made me the best drink I’ve ever had! Her kindness, joyful attitude, and empathy really turned my mood around. This is my favorite location and the one I frequent the most!“

“Just tried this place and wow, the coffee is seriously amazing! They have so many different flavors to choose from, it's hard to pick just one. Plus, the service was super quick and the staff were all really nice. I'll definitely be coming back here for my coffee fix. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“Our first time at Home Ground Coffee. Wow! The service and pricing are great! The coffee is easily some of the best we've had in a long time. This will be our new coffee spot when in the area. The inside is very clean and has a very nice atmosphere. Highly recommended! Thanks again!“

“Great coffee“

“Excellent coffee drinks! I had an iced coffee and mentioned I am diabetic. They happily modified the recipe to make it less sugary and brought up lots of flavors options that would still make it flavorful. The place was very clean, stylish seating, friendly staff, lots of parking and quick service. Very eclectic crowd of all ages. I didn’t eat any food so I can’t rate it.“

“Stopped by here to grab coffee after lunch and also got to try a sample of the daily soup. It was very good! The atmosphere and service were friendly with both grocery and meal options offered, among more,in addition to coffee. Look forward to returning.“
