50 Best Coffee Shops in San Antonio

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

“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.🔥✌🏼“

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

“Ice coffee is my favorite“

“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.“

“Visited for the first time today after being directed there for the “Field Notes” brand of pocket journals. I was able to get a few journals, enjoyed an iced great pumpkin latte, and bought a bag of coffee beans. Shout out to Alexis for answering all of my questions and making this a great experience. I’m excited to come back— I’ve lived in SA for 5 years and have been to plenty of local coffee shops: My experience today was the best so far. Thank you for making my day better!“

“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. 🙌🏾🙌🏾“

“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.“

“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.“

“You can get coffee, tea, lemonade, smoothies, Energy drinks. Get them iced hot or chillers. They're all very good.

Dietary restrictions: You can get a lot of the drinks sugar-free.

Parking: Drive thru only“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“My favorite locally roasted coffee in central Texas, hands down! I live in Bastrop county and order my coffee online. Their deliveries are fast and dependable. Love y’all, San Antonio Coffee/What’s Brewing 😘“

“Worth the drive and get what you pay for.. outstanding coffee .. leaves Starbucks and Dutch Bros in the dust.. just not as convinent because there aren't as many. Too me worth passing up the 3 coffees shops right on my block and driving ten 30 minutes“

“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.“

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

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

“Great atmosphere! The ladies infront working were amazing!! can't remember her name she had an awesome neck tattoo and she was super helpful and very knowledgeable on the things they offered ! I got Desert Twilight whipped and it was AHHHMAZING! Definitely will be going back !!“

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

“Love this little coffee shop. Downtown, near work, quaint and perfect. Great food, drinks, and art.“

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

“The red eye & hibiscus water aremy favorite, be sure to check them out, you won’t be disappointed 😋“

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

“Healthy muffins and cookies are delicious. I love to visit with friends and the owner is friendly as well as the service being professional. Their menu is amazing. I enjoy their pancakes & great mushroom, Spinach omelet. It's one of my go to restaurants for the great people and food. I highly recommend this place.“

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

“Best place and coffee!! Recommend“

“Great place to get a drink. And they do so much for the community.“

“All I have to say is that I love summer moon in Leon springs. I used to live by the pearl and used to go to the one off st Mary’s and was excited to find out that there was a summer moon in Leon springs where I moved. I’ve been going to this location for the last 2 years. The entire staff is incredible but I have to give a shout out to Harli. She’s the best. Always has a smile. Always know your name. It’s extremely rare that the drinks are inconsistent but when the one time it did happen they were happy to replace it at no cost. This is best coffee house ever“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The crowd, people, interior decor, friendly staff“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Amazing teas and incredible service.“

“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.“

“what an amazing coffee shop. prices are great and the coffee is delicious. lots of cool goodies at the front when you walk in. the atmosphere is different than other coffee shops and it's awesome. came to get a nitro cold brew and it was well worth it. highly suggest skipping the bigger corporate coffee and coming here for delicious black rifle coffee!“

“Amazing coffee! Super quick service as well.“

“What a fresh, clean coffee shop with fresh food and wonderful atmosphere.“

“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!“

“I recently decided to try out Dutch Bros because it was on my way to work. The staff has always been really friendly, and they're quick and efficient to get people in and out of the line. The coffee is great with a lot to choose from, and their lemon poppyseed muffin tops are amazing! Definitely my new go-to coffee joint.“

“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..“

“I LOVED the iced latte that I ordered! it was so good not too sweet and still tasted like coffee. Great pick me up for the afternoon. The glass bldg it's is in so awesome and indoor and outdoor seating is nice.“
