50 Best Coffee Shops in San Antonio

“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.“

“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.“

“Staff is very friendly and it almost feels like I'm a part of the crew. I come maybe once or twice biweekly and I'm always remembered, Tyson specifically has made getting coffee a good way to start the morning, always attentive and in a better mood than anyone would be that early in the morning.“

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

“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!“

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

“LOVE OTG! Our weekly go-to coffee treat! Friendly staff too!“

“Amazing teas and incredible service.“

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

“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.🔥✌🏼“

“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.“

“New favorite coffee spot in San Antonio. It has coffee and chocolate. One of my most favorite things about this place is that they have dark chocolate when so few places do. A quirky but fun thing is they have bon bons and one of the flavors is champs which is so over the top SA childhood.“

“Love! Hands down best coffee in San Antonio. My husband wants to go back already!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Highly recommend! We drove 35 mins away just to check the cafe out! Everyone one of the staff that work here are beyond amazing, they took the time to talk with my littles and take pictures with them! My littles haven’t stopped talking about Ms. leah! Highly recommend totally worth the drive! 💖💖“

“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!“

“Just so yall know this is a very “I love Jesus” place. Nothing wrong with that it’s their business the atmosphere is clean,comfy, and cute but definitely Jesus everywhere. I’m just not into that. But the coffee makes me want to come back it is delicious!! I got their horchata latte and it’s so good! I’d just bring my headphones so I don’t have to listen to praise music, again nothing wrong with it’s just not my preference.“

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

“Oh my goshhhhhhhhh. these ladies were lovely. We went to check out the place before we scheduled a meet up with friends. They were busy. Wicked polite and as we were waiting, they kept up with wait times, alternative seating and the reality of sitting on the patio....TOO HOT for this northerner transplanted in Texas. Our waitress was super sweet and went out of her way when we asked if there was a way we could try some pastries. The 2 of us could not do a full tier platter because of the portion sizes, but golly!!!!!! Did they make our day with letting us have a few that are usually for afternoon tea exclusively. We will be back with another friend couple to experience the full afternoon tea!!! You really know how to make people feel welcome.“

“🔥💚 Wow! What a pleasant surprise! Great vibes, great flavor. Thanks for an awesome meal Roger!“

“The place is awesome great food great art work like this AVOCADO 🥑“

“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 🩵“

“Awesome spot!! Unique selection of masterfully roasted beans - Add to that it’s pulled through an amazing pink Slayer machine! Professionalism on display and transfer to a great cuppa! Add a curated music selection with local art displayed tastefully to enhances the overall vibe. Enough selection of beans to keep the visits always interesting. Iced Americano was tasty!
Texas Kolache 🙏“

“Loved Poppy’s so much. Became my favorite coffee shop in SA from the moment I moved there. Made sure to come almost every weekend to snag a 10/10 latte. Truly addicted. Great atmosphere, sweet staff, cute snoopy memorabilia, amazing menu. I never had a bad coffee from Poppy. Been missing it ever since moving out of SA. Will definitely come again as soon as I’m in town!! It’s a must visit.“

“Best coffee in San Antonio“

“Tried it for the first time today and it was my perfect latte! The Spanish latte with an extra shot and cold foam on top was fuego🔥It was strong and that’s just how I like it, but I can still taste the hint of sweetness. 10/10 recommend“

“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!“

“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.“

“This place is world class. I can't believe I got such an amazing cup of coffee in San Antonio. What a treasure this place is. Everyone was incredibly friendly, Aunt. The coffee might have been one of the best ones I've had this year. They also roast their own beans, and I can't recommend it enough. In a world where everything moves fast and shortcuts are made, this place does none of that. I wish we had a place this amazing in California!“

“I am SO HAPPY we found But First, Cafecito while visiting from out of town. Not only are the drinks delicious, with a HUGE variety, but also the owner is incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful. She makes it clear that she is here to spread love and joy. Thank you!!“

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

“Sus churros están deliciosos, los mejores y el café es excelente ! 100 % recomendable“

“Awesome food! Will be back soon!!!“

“I stopped by today for coffee before work. The “pillow talk” got my attention.. coconut water, horchata, cinnamon and espresso. Perfect way to start the day. Not too sweet and just right. The staff was friendly and I didn’t have to wait long for my drink. I wish I could have stayed because it was definitely a vibe in there. Next time for sure. Parking was not a hassle either. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Todo bien rico. Lo recomiendo. La gente es muy amable“

“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 stopped into Eight Ball Coffee on a whim. It paid off...
Their cold brew is smooth with a bright finish that hits the spot on a hot Texas day. Beyond the outstanding coffee, the baristas are friendly, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about their craft. Whether you're grabbing a quick morning pick-me-up or sitting back to catch up with friends, Eight Ball Coffee delivers a laid-back vibe and great coffee. Cheers!“

“I stopped by here for a cold brew! I ordered the cold brew with tres leches cold foam and it was sooo good!! I highly encourage yall to try this place. Also, the owners were so sweet and friendly!“

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

“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!“

“Flower in Flour is cozy, welcoming, and enchanting.... and that's just the decor. The coffee has never disappointed. I especially like the themed Texas Star drink. Whenever friends and family come into town to visit I introduce them to Flower in Flour. This place is the perfect place to go with friends for a coffee and chatting, crafting, or even reading. Don't get me started on their events. I did a silent book club event there last month and it was positively divine.“

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

“Great atmosphere, friendly staff!! Best coffee in SA!!!“

“Great staff“

“Stranded coffee is a coffee truck in the historic area of San Antonio. The coffee was amazing, i ordered the Mariel (large) with an extra shot of espresso. They finish it with a cinnamon dusting and its flavored with a house made cinvilla syrup. Wow! Definitely a must stop here!“

“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“
