Came by on a Sunday and it not busy at all. This is a very relaxing and chill — I truly loved the aesthetics. While they did not have a wide range of pastries or any food, their drinks are really good. I tried the oatmilk chai tea latte and it was so good! The ladies that helped me were very kind and welcoming. There’s plenty of outdoor seating and BBQ & Mexican restaurants nearby if you get hungry. There’s plenty of parking so I would definitely return.
Absolutely cute little coffee shop with ample seating and cool staff! The oatchata is a very good latte, and the matcha was tasty, highly recommend!
This place deserves nothing less than five stars. We found it by happenstance and it’ll be a regular spot now. They had a bike meetup going on and everyone was super sociable and friendly. I got the matcha with pistachio cold foam and my husband got a plain latte. Their breakfast tacos are banging and the hot sauce is phenomenal. There was a candle lit inside, an MF doom book by the window, plants everywhere, and super helpful friendly staff. Nothing is overpriced or pretentious and most importantly, the drinks are well made. Thanks for the wonderful experience. We will be back! (There’s also a beautiful park and hiking trails right across the street.)
So happy we came upon this lovely coffee shop across from Walker Ranch Park. We stopped by after a long day biking on the salado creek trail, not realizing they were closed (they’re open Fri–Sun). The owner is lovely and happened to see us outside. He noticed how tired we were, and kindly offered us water and energy drinks on the house — so thoughtful! It’s exactly the kind of community that makes supporting local businesses so special. Can’t wait to come back on a weekend and try their matcha!
What a wonderful discovery we made during our stay in San Antonio! A great location, nice outdoor seating area. My husband & I had iced lattes, they were so delicious! The barista made them perfect! We will definitely be returning to try another on of their drinks!
