“I was introduced to Early Bird Coffee a few months ago, and what a treat! The shop is warm and cozy, with comfortable seating and a super friendly, knowledgable staff.

I highly recommend Early Bird Coffee...a well-deserved 5 star rating for an incredible coffee experience!“

We tried the buffalo chick’n and BBQ chick’n tacos, three tacos each filled us up perfectly. We’ll definitely be back soon to try more of the menu.“
“It's like walking into a brewery, but it's a coffee roaster. Why pay your coffee $$$ to a corporation when you can support a local long-time roaster. Coffee beans are roasted onsite, baristas are friendly, and pastries are fresh. Great atmosphere to watch the roasting process. I took a hard-core Starbucks drinker with me, and she is a convert.“
“They are allergy friendly! I stopped by to grab something to drink & when I asked if it were possible to see the ingredients of the drinks, the employee was able to tell me what I should & shouldn't drink as well as show me the ingredients. I hate asking. However, I recently found out my food allergies, so the fact that she was so helpful & friendly made the experience worth it. :)“
“This place is a hidden gem within unfortunate construction, don't miss it!They make their chocolate all the way from bean, utilizing beans from all over the world, and the coffee is delicious! So many choices, and Ana was super knowledgeable and friendly. We learned about chocolate and had great coffee. This world class operation is a must try!“
“Best part of our first visit to San Antonio! The coffee was a whole experience! My Banana Coffee was a first time experience and they set the bar with their coffee! Having the old school DJ equipment the seating areas to relax sip and vibe set a tone for the best cafe experience! A must stop when in San Antonio Texas!“
“A super cute coffee stand in San Antonio. It was pouring rain and still worth going! The barista was behind friendly. She was visibly freezing, but still smiling and happy. The coffee was excellent, just what we needed on a cold and rainy Monday!“

“Walking into Eightball Coffee, you’re greeted by a cozy and uncomplicated charm that’s becoming increasingly rare in coffee shops today. The first thing you’ll notice is its simplicity, echoing the essence of what a coffee shop should be. However, a suggestion for the lovely folks at Eightball: a bit more signage outside could do wonders. It’s a gem that more people need to discover easily.During my visit, I opted for something a bit unconventional – a lavender matcha with oat milk. To my surprise, the concoction didn’t just delight; it mystified. There was an unexpected, yet wholly welcome, marshmallow essence to the flavor that made each sip a sweet revelation. It’s not just a drink; it’s a dessert, a comfort, and a new favorite all rolled into one.Though the menu at Eightball might be described as small, it’s evident that each item is curated with precision and a commitment to quality. “Limited” here does not mean lacking; it means perfected. Each drink I’ve seen served is a testament to their dedication to their craft.The ambiance further elevates the experience. The smooth, cool music enveloping the space creates a relaxed, boyfriend vibes atmosphere that’s just as suited for leisurely hangouts as it is for focused work sessions. Eightball Coffee strikes the perfect balance between a chill hangout spot and a productive workspace.In essence, Eightball Coffee is more than just a coffee shop. It’s a sanctuary for those who appreciate the finer points of coffee-making and those looking for a sweet escape in the middle of their day. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, it’s a spot that beckons for a visit. And for me, it’s definitely a place I’ll return to, eager to sip on that mysteriously delightful lavender matcha once again.“
“Food was great, the atmosphere is awesome and different especially with the Art. Just a different ambience and vibe if your ever in San Antonio or even just lived here or live this is a must go to spot definitely should be on your bucket list of places to eat.“
“I can't believe how good this place is. The flavor in their coffee and food items is unmatched. I really haven't seen it nowhere else. I had the Oreo concha, which I was super hesitant, but I was honestly impressed. Also, don't be afraid to try their specialty cappuccinos, they might sound odd, but I promise you will not regret it. Definitely a new favorite here in San Antonio, TX.“
“The donuts here are made to order,Or topped to order. When I received my order they looked fresh and they were warm. The staff are a young crowd so I did not receive the best service but they at least said hello when I walked in. The person taking my order was on the phone the entire time. The person preparing my order looked like she was bothered and the person delivering the order to me, looked like he didn’t want to be there lol.Otherwise, food is excellent, large menu, something for everyone. And they also have a breakfast/ brunch menu and coffee items. The location is a bit small so it may be hard to find a place to sit and eat in.Parking: Small location with shared parking from other businesses. If busy, you may not find a good parking spot but it would be a short walking distance.“
“Sunshine Brew is always such a pleasant place to drop by, grab a coffee, and have some positive chit chat in the morning. These ladies are awesome and their “homemade” cold brew recipe is killer! Perfect coffee solution in the Alamo Ranch area!“
“I absolutely love this place, it's my go to coffee.. the majority of their drinks also have sugar free or low carb options. They are amazing and rhe staff is great and very helpful especially when u can't decide what u want or helping make a drink low in “
“Favorite coffee spot, hands down! Always fast and friendly service. My favorite order is either the hot Avalanche or the frozen Avalanche in the summer. Delicious! Prices are comparable (maybe a bit more reasonable) to other nearby coffee locations. Love the convenience of the drive thru.“
“Took a trip to San Antonio from Dallas and I just had to try this. It was so worth it! The coffee was phenomenal and the owner Jerry was extremely kind and helpful, trust his judgements for your coffee! I got the Hanoi Egg Coffee and it was a one of a kind experience in San Antonio. I highly recommend coming down here!“
“Excellent cafe with awesome, friendly staff, amazing coffee, comfortable seating and overall it's a super cozy setting. Great WiFi here too (if you're looking to work from this cafe), and the coffee is totally fairly priced.Parking is a little tricky (behind the building) and there are train tracks right outside, but regardless this place is more than well worth a visit.“
“Great place, great staff, great coffee! My family hosted an event here and it was the easiest time I’ve ever had working with a venue. The owner was there the morning of the event to help us with all our set up questions and the staff during the event made everything a breeze! I cannot say anything negative about this place- they are awesome!!“
“The gelato here was great! Anytime we vacation we like to have gelato so that we can have the affogato. We all loved what we picked. No complaints at all. It is in a busy shopping area, so you may have to drive around for a parking spot.Parking: Busy shopping area, so you may have to drive around a little to get a spot.“
“3/16/2024 finally dropped in.We (I) will definitely be back! We ordered a cortado, a forest dweller, and a vanilla lavender latte. The female barista was extremely welcoming and super informative about Gravves menu.The aesthetic is phenomenal. Definitely brought out my inner-gothic self.The flavor of lavender was unique and delicious. The pandan in the Foresty Dweller was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend.“
“Love the owner and her staff! Super duper friendly and sweet, they always brighten up my day whenever I get coffee in the morning! My personal favorite is the Matcha Horchata with the Jalapeño Bagel ? (I've ordered it so much the owner remembers it hahaha). I've introduced this place to my aunt and cousin when they were visiting San Antonio, and it easily became their favorite drive thru cafe!This cafe was actually first introduced to us by one of my mom's friends and we were skeptical at first, but we're so glad we gave it a try and it's been our favorite place to get coffee ever since. Now every time I go out, my dad always asks me to get coffee from them LOL!Go give it a try! ya'll won't regret it ?“
“I absolutely love this place! I think the girl who helped me was named Jay, however she provided such quality service that I left extremely impressed. Thank you so much for making my day! I come here often and all staff is always so nice and friendly. Great place to study and they have the best unique coffee options. I will keep coming back to this coffee shop and recommending it to strangers, family, and friends.“
“If we could give this place 10 stars we would. The service is great. Owner is friendly and took his time to explain different drinks in the menu and make recommendations, the drinks actually have coffee in them, as opposed to mostly milk. We tried the Coffee Bombom and a late, both hot because it’s very windy today and this is an outdoor spot. We also tried their Chai. You can taste the spices in the Chai, and the cinnamon in the coffee. Most importantly, again, you can taste the coffee but not because it is bitter and burnt like other places. It is just rich. The empanadas were really good too, we tried the guava one for dessert, and also the bean and bacon, and pork and sausage ones. Did not let us down. All tasty and our favorite was the bean and bacon. The atmosphere is good for being an outdoor place. It’s super cute, got decent seating and surprisingly there’s not a lot of noise coming from the street so you can be there for as long as the weather permits.“
“So I rolled up to this place at 7:54 on a Sunday and they closed at 8 and turned around to get back in my car because I didn't want to be a jerk and the guy started waving me to come in while he was cleaning up! Any place that is willing to joyfully take my business at quitting time is getting 5 stars! Not to mention their açaís bowls were yummy!“

“So today I decided to try out a sweet little gem right down the street from me. It's in a plaza on Babcock and if you blink you might miss it and what a shame that would be! When I walked in, I was pleasantly greeted by the owner who told me about the items on the menu in detail. I thought about getting a shake but I pivoted towards the teas. I got the Strait Hit for myself and the Tipsy Tarpon for my fiancé. Each tea comes with a natural energy boost to prevent crashing. I can't believe I've gone to Starbucks over a dozen times and drove right past this place. I won't make that mistake again. I absolutely love the flavor of both teas and will be back to try others. They have an extensive menu that is also customizable. They even have to-go packets where you can mix the drinks yourself later on. This is a small business and is woman-owned so please support! They've made a lifetime customer.“
“My new favorite coffee spot to sit, work, and sip on coffee. Decor is gorgeous and the service is fantastic. Seats inside are comfy with lots of outlets and natural light. Lattes were good and reasonably priced! I didn’t get any food but I will when I return.“
“The moon milk drinks are super tasty. I get the 1/2 moon since it is pretty sweet. They have a drive through at this location. Fast service. Been here multiple times and the coffee is always delicious. They have coffee beans that they roast for sale.“
“I loved the coffee here! It was delicious and the croissant I got was really good. I got the Nut Job and I would really recommend it! My only complaint is that I wish it had been a bit brighter but my partner tells me there are usually more lights on. I love a local place that gives back to its community, I would highly highly urge everyone to try it out!“
“Some might call it a hole in the wall, well, it's not! It's a hidden gem! A favorite for San Antonio locals who work down town! Very casual dining, price per person $12-15. All kinds of people dining. Limited hours so check bf coming. Can't wait to bring out of town friends here!Parking: We walked about 2.5 blocks, but the weather was beautiful, and it was worth the effort!“
“Me and my partner first came in when we saw stuff about their coffee flights and interesting flavors. We tried them and had the baristas make us whatever drinks they thought were going to be good. They were all delicious and introduced us to new great flavor combinations. This place is awesome and whenever we want a coffee date we make the drive over. The seasonal flavors are always interesting and delicious too! Definitely recommend this place.“
“Great walk up coffee trailer! Coffee is to the point. Menu is small so it’s easy to get what you need. Food options are limited but tasty. There are a few outdoor tables to sit at but with other vendors here it’s sporty to get a table. One of my fav coffee stops in SAT when I’m in “
“One of my absolute favorite coffee shops in San Antonio! The staff are always so sweet and welcoming with every single visit. The coffee is unique ( in the best way ) and, they have an amazing combination of flavors. I love how they do a great job of recommending different drinks, too!“

“The Perfect Morning Pick me up!The interior of Rose Hip so cute and cozy and made for the perfect way to start our day!I tried the Hot Matcha Latte with Lavender Rosemary Syrup, and it was the most delicious blend of a boost and relaxation in a cup!

“Wow! So glad we stumbled across this place! The owner was so sweet and explained the many ways on how you can make a great drink. You can choose the different citrus, add ons, and how sweet you’d like it. Highly recommend trying the lemon lime and chamoy. They even have games for you to hang out and a free mini library.Parking: Parking across the street“
“We ordered different coffees for our family and they were all very good tasting. I got the Cuppa Joe with oat milk and it was very smooth, not bitter at all. We're visiting San Antonio for the weekend and we plan to stop tomorrow before we head back home.“
“Casual & cheerful place to gather. Hangout on the stone patio area or visit after a walk in the park across the street. ALSO - yesterday they had Grand Opening and ribbon cutting at the new location 2169 N. W. Military. There now having Sunday morning coffee.“

“This was SO GOOD!! I was in town for a girls trip and we were looking for a quick breakfast spot in the King William District and Kulture Kafe had lots of great reviews. It's a little difficult to find and really is just a food truck trailer parked in a parking lot but there's plenty of seating and the service was super quick as well! When we arrived, I ordered an horchata matcha latte (I loved all the seasonal drinks and foods they had!). My friend ordered a seasonal coffee drink and we split an order of chilaquiles. My drink was absolutely delicious, I loved the homemade horchata!! The chilaquiles came STUFFED and were so flavorful as well. I loved how tender and juicy the chicken was. Overall, really great spot for a quick and tasty breakfast!! Definitely lives up to the hype!!“
“Excellent service. This was second visit and first time ordering on the app. First visit was the Açaí Power bowl. This visit went for the Tropical Açaí Bowl and the Ginger Bomb. The Ginger Bomb was good, yes there was a lot of ginger. Felt better. Sinuses…. The Açaí bowls are delicious, the protein power was perfect for me. The Tropical bowl was sweet. The honey and fruit was what made it sweet. I would remove the honey next time. The protein in the power bowl was filling. Both bowls were delicious and filling. A great lunch break alternative. One thing I noticed was after eating fast food, I felt sluggish. One thing I did not feel with these bowls. Felt constant energy. No sluggishness or tired. I felt great! Almost finished with my bowl so no pictures… though what you see on the website is what you will see in person. I recommend Playa Bowls.“
“Super cute truck, got a delicious cappuccino. Appreciated the barista’s friendly service. Easy parking to boot. Would definitely return. :) very small detail but the “open” sign was not turned on so when I parked behind them I thought …oh, I guess they are closed? Glad I walked around to check but that’d be a helpful little detail in the future!“
“"Coffee Bliss and Delectable Delights – A Favorite Post-Church Haven"This coffee shop has become one of my absolute favorite places to visit, especially after church. The cozy ambiance, rich coffee, and mouthwatering bakery selection create a haven of delight. It has become a cherished tradition for me and my loved ones. A must-visit spot that adds a special touch to our post-church gatherings!“
“First visit. Tried the mystic smoothie, it tastes like a chocolate milkshake which I wasn't expecting. Smells organic in there, clean aesthetic and staff was nice. Got a free ginger shot cause it took pretty long for 1 drink, apparently they were short staffed.Would go back to try a different flavor.“

“What a true jewel in this neighborhood!We were immediately greeted with the warmest and most genuine welcome this morning. The staff went out of their way to explain menu options; Which says alot considering I take a VERY long time to decide what I want hahaTake full advantage of their seasonal drink menu: I told the cashier (she could not have been sweeter!) I want the sweetist drink on the menu and she helped me make an excellent choice (the Christmas cookie coffee). Then we ordered the cream puff: this is not for playtime! It's indulgent, yummy, and feels like grandma's kitchen. In other words it warms your heart and belly.But, what I was probably most struck by was the immense patriotism of both the brand and shop. In the corner is America's White Table in honor of the lost who fought valiantly in this country's wars. When you visit, make sure to give a moment of silence and reflection at this Table.The names of the coffee alone are worth a visit and I can appreciate the ingenuity and creativity of them all. I also have tremendous respect for a small business who offers discounts to firemen and local police.Hats off to the owners and staff of Texas Grounds in Helotes, TX.“
“First time and at arrival only an old school gent was here fine with me but soon as was sit down more and more newbies showed up. Got me a Cortadito Espresso follow with a Cubano sandwich con Aroz y frijoles Negros ? on the side all tasted great and will definitely come back.“
“Great place! It was good at the old location, but is now great at the new location! The barista even makes shapes in the milk foam of my latte. I've been back several times as it's a great place to study and grab some coffee and a snack.“
“I had the most amazing service & sincere smile from a Barista the other day. A smile that was unexpected & so much needed on a day I was having a great deal of trouble. My Barista did not smile at me out of pity, her smile was not condescending nor was her smile a forced one she wore because it was her job.No, that was clear by her face & smiling eyes. She made me feel human that morning when I felt like a panicked wreck. She truly made my day, even more so than the wonderful coffee did, just by smiling because she was happy to be there, or maybe smiling because she cared.I might never know her reasons but I do know that she made my entire day better. For that I am a very satisfied customer. Thank you Smiles.“
