I love coming here for the coffee and the atmosphere but I took off a star for the service. The baristas aren’t outright rude but they definitely give the attitude that they’re annoyed with customers. They seem like they hate taking orders and make me feel like a burden just trying to order a coffee. I’d come here a lot more if I felt more welcome.

Been a loyal customer for years but the Internet seldom works as of late so swearing them off for a while. They also have this sculpture that takes up already limited seating at the front window that I don’t really understand. The view is nice for people watching.

I ordered the Mayan Mocha and was instantly transported to the streets of Merida, Yucatan. I have been searching for this flavor for the past 15 years.

Sat down for 5 minutes and couldn't get cool. Why does a coffe joint keep it so hot? Nonsense. I'm starting to think this town doesn't believe in

Tried this place out for the first time recently & really loved their coffee. We try to go to coffee shops (especially locally owned ones) often and this is one of the best tasting ones so far. Staff were very sweet & the space was welcoming.

Coffee bar is just the spot you can't miss on your daily commute in San Marcos. For years I have come here and always enjoyed my time and coffee. Sophia always makes my drink better and better every time.

I try not to leave negative reviews, but I have to be honest. The coffee is not great. The espresso machine looks unmaintained and I see the shots going bad as they sit for an extended time. I've frequently seen the porta-filters remain in the machine without being cleaned (same as the steaming wand). There's also a REALLY bad smell in the building, it's been there for years but has gotten much worse lately. I've gone with a group on multiple occasions this year, and we all wanted to exit as quickly as possible. What's happening?

I walk into this cafe overstimulated and ready to jump. I leave this cafe nourished and hopeful. If coffee bar has no fans, I am dead.

Coffee Bar Coffee Shop has been my go-to spot in San Marcos for three years, and it's easy to see why. With its inviting atmosphere and delicious brews, it's been the perfect place for productive study sessions and memorable hangouts with friends. What sets Coffee Bar apart is its exceptional staff, particularly Ethan, who always goes the extra mile to make customers feel like valued friends. The welcoming ambiance and comfortable seating create a cozy environment that feels like a second home. For anyone seeking more than just a caffeine fix, Coffee Bar is a must-visit destination in San Marcos, offering not just great coffee, but also a sense of community and warmth.

So simplistic but natural inside. The girl at the register (curly hair) was so sweet & answered all of my questions. NOW…… THEY HAVE THE BEST MATCHA EVER! I got matcha w/oat milk & raw honey… chefs kiss. Could be a great place to work/study if I lived near:) thank y’all!
