El Tigre
123 Heiman St, San Antonio, TX
Crema's Take
“El Tigre is a spacious yet intimate San Antonio spot where creative honey-forward drinks are the real stars—think iced Americans with salted honey and oat milk, or their bright, fresh matcha made without added sugars. The artsy, vibes-filled atmosphere makes it equally perfect for lingering over a laptop or catching up with loved ones, and the genuinely warm staff clearly takes pride in crafting each drink with care, whether that's a pistachio milk vanilla latte or a perfectly pulled espresso.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Parking available.

I’ll start with when I walked in. It’s a hot San Antonio day and I’m hit with a blast of cool air and just like the sign outside says “vibes”, which are certainly good ones. El Tigre is a colossal step up from their upstairs neighbors, but that’s another review for another time.…
