Alley Cat Coffee

Crema's Take

Tucked inside Rios Barbacoa, Alley Cat is a hidden gem that punches well above its easy-to-miss location with inventive cereal-inspired drinks like Lucky Charms and Cookie Crisp lattes that feel playful without sacrificing quality espresso work. The small, cozy shop has earned serious loyalty from customers who rave about both the creative signature drinks and reliable traditional lattes, though their popularity means arriving early is essential to avoid disappointment. It's the kind of spot that rewards a little effort to find—locals describe stumbling upon it and immediately planning their next visit.

Didn’t even get to get anything as they sold out about two hours before their closing time. Drove about 20 mins out just for them to be sold out. Very disappointed and won’t ever be returning.

Another one of San Antonio's hidden gems. I ordered the cereal coffee of the day, blended (Lucky Charms - my fave!). The service was fantastic, coffee was delicious and now I'm anxious to go back on the weekend because...barbacoa and coffee?! Yes, please! 🙏🏻 😁

It took me a sec to realize Alley Cat was INSIDE Rios, but I'm so glad I found it. I got the cereal milk latte (cookie crisp), loved it, immediately started thinking of when I could come back. And Jasmine is so nice and friendly. I really enjoyed chatting while there.

Very easy to miss, but take the time to look them up....you will not regret it. Just happened to find it today and was wowed by a great caramel latte. I give Alley Cat props for a great latte primarily because you can taste the coffee first then the caramel. Not an overly sweet coffee drink. Very friendly and fast service. Support local and give them a try.
