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.“

“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 went for the first time today at the Grissom & Culebra location. Kaylee did an amazing job with her recommendations. I ultimately asked her to do something random as I was not sure what I wanted. She did an amazing job. The coffee was delicious! It was just the right amount of sweetness and creamy coffee just as I like it! 10/10 recommend!“

“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!“

“Really enjoyed the ambience, drinks and games! Will definitely come back and recommend it!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“The Farewell Phantom is the Best! Highly recommended!“

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

“Best coffee and best customer service you could ever ask for!!“

“Best place and coffee!! Recommend“

“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!“

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

“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..“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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 🩵“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Amazing coffee! Super quick service as well.“

“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!“

“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“

“Great selection…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 !“

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

“Coffee and breakfast croissant“

“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 ❤️“

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

“What a beautiful place . Gods Grace does shine on this place . 10/10 recommend“

“My wife and I lost power in a storm overnight and we couldn't make our routine coffee. We are particular in our coffee and I drove to the closest coffee shop. We have driven by many Dutch Bros Coffee's through the years and everyone had told us it was a trendy ice coffee & mocha specialty shop so we never entertained the thought of a hot, rich, well balanced, full bodied coffee, but to our surprise it was very good. I asked for 2 basic hot coffees and don't know what specific coffee we received but it was honestly an excellent choice. We will go back and try to get the same in the future. Would recommend to picky traditional coffee drinkers.“

“Went in the past and get the blended mocha only thing is it never really tasted enough like coffee, today I went and the guy that helped me was super helpful I explained to him that I wanted that drink but need it to taste like coffee. He said absolutely and took the time to explain what he can do to make that happen and I loved my coffee! Tasted amazing and great customer service at this location! Definitely my go to coffee place!“

“Good coffee and service lots of choices“

“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.“

“Great coffee“

“From Jacksonville, FL and first time here meeting a friend. Environment was very nice and I can’t remember the manager’s name but she was cool as well as all the staff. Very busy place. 🙌🏾🙌🏾“

“One of my favorite gems in the city!! The drinks are incredible and the food is delicious with PLENTY of gluten free options. The service is always great and I love spending time here. I can’t recommend this place enough!“

“Never had a coffee from here that wasn’t delicious. The staff is always really friendly no matter how busy.“

“Delicious food great atmosphere friendly people.“

“Manager Matthew is a complete gem. 💎 I have had the roughest week with my husband being given 2 months to live. I actually cried in the drive thru…. Talk about embarrassing. But as I went to redeem my free drink, he declined and offered one on the house. I’m covered in adult poop and vomit residue but this drink is giving me life. I love Dutch employees“

“Had an amazing experience here yesterday. Service from Banks was absolutely phenomenal. You’d think this is a bar and you get a drink, but every now and then you meet a good human being doing good things while working. Banks seemed like that person. Standout experience and will be back!“
