    banana matcha
    Wendy H.

    My sister and I tried Ambassadors Coffee and both ordered the banana matcha, but unfortunately it wasn't great. The matcha was pretty watered down, and we couldn't taste much banana flavor at all. Maybe it would be worth trying a different matcha, not sure. The location is also a bit confusing -- you have to go around to the back of the building to find the entrance. Inside, the seating/study area was super packed, and we were lucky to grab a table in the hallway. Overall, not the best but not the worst.

    Took me longer than i'd like to admit to find the stairs to get to the second floor lol. But once I entered I was greeted by a friendly face behind the counter, who proceeded to make one of the best chai lattes I've had in a while. seating seemed limited, however I do love their work/study area.

    I was looking for a place to get some work done, and this was one of the only coffee shops open late major plus since most close early. I instantly fell in love with this spot and honestly wish it was closer to me. They have multiple workstations, private rooms, a podcast room, and even a worship room that's open all night. I ordered a vanilla iced matcha and it was delicious! The only small issue was that the matcha started separating a bit making the texture slightly grainy but overall still really good. I ended up working in the worship room and there were people worshiping which made the atmosphere so peaceful. It's such a cute Christian space to meet others, feel inspired, and be productive. Definitely a hidden gem for late-night creatives

    I loved this place SOOO much! I am obsessed with it! The spiritual atmosphere is so present and amazing! They had some beautiful artwork you could buy. I wish I had the money to afford the piece I wanted. The barista's are so kind and helpful. My husband got the trifecta. I believe it was and it was delicious. I got a seasonal I believe jasmine Matcha it was definitely floral. I'm not sure I would get it again, but I'm glad I tried it. They had a little prayer board that you could write your prayers and post them to it and I guess somebody could pick it up and pray for you and I thought that was amazing and then it looked like they had a prayer room coming, where people could just go and pray in there and then I thought that was amazing and it looked like they might've had a meeting rooms where people could go and meet together, but I didn't go back and look at those. We also bought some fresh honey and it is really tasty. It was a little pricey, but it's fresh so I think it's worth the price and I would buy it again. Ultimately, I would definitely come here again and recommend it to others. this place is such a hidden gem!

    What a safe haven! There are desks at workstations, meeting rooms, and a large worship room! I LOVE that the matcha doesn't come sweetened like someone is trying to give me diabetes in a cup. The earthy flavor really got to shine through! There is so much space and this is such a safe space! The hibiscus refresher was also delicious. I am so excited to see you again soon!

    Vanilla latte
    Rebeca C.

    The people are always nice and the coffee is strong but tastes great! My husband gets the mocha with strawberry syrup and I get the vanilla latte. Both are amazing. They also use homemade syrups! We come here whenever we are on this side of town. Definitely recommend!

    As a remote worker with a second job in the Ridge Shopping Center, I stopped by this coffee shop to see if it would be a good place to focus mid-mornings & it absolutely is! The space is cute, welcoming, & consistently clean, especially the collaborative area where I plan to work. It stays fairly quiet during mid-mornings & I love that the doors can be closed to keep noise down. I've visited three times with the first two visits having small mix ups on my food/drink, but mistakes happen & the staff was apologetic for it. On my third visit, Gabriel took great care of me & recommended the Peach Mango Refresher, which I now love & will keep ordering. Thank you for creating such a cozy, inviting environment. I'll definitely be back often for my remote work days!

    Such a cute coffee shop! There is plenty of space to work and even have meeting rooms to rent. The staff is very friendly and have great suggestions. Tried the lavender London Fog - highly recommend & I'm not usually a tea person. Also had the lemonades & mocha.

    Time to check in at Ambassador Coffee.

    This is a true Kingdom hotspot! I went to an event there called Proverbs & Profits, and I was absolutely blown away by the culture and the atmosphere. This isn't just a coffee shop -- it's a Christian, business-minded CEO's safe haven. You can feel the intentionality behind every corner. There are creation rooms, collaboration spaces, and even a 24-hour worship center. Plus counseling!! What, at a coffee shop??? And it's free! This place is buried treasure for faith-driven visionaries (like me, the one in purple). I only had time to grab a lemonade because I was rushing to my networking event which was located in the back, but it was refreshing. And the owner (Brenda) radiates such an authentic love for God. I didn't get to speak with her personally, but to watch her is to witness someone running a business with rare transparency and incredible anointing. If you're a believer, creative, or Kingdom builder looking for community, inspiration, and peace, Ambassador's Coffee is where you need to be. I left inspired, recharged, and surrounded by the kind of people I want in my world.

    Brown sugar latte

    Adorable coffee shop! It's a great place to relax or get some work done. I ordered a latte with their house-made brown sugar, and it was very good. I also tried the jalapeño kolache--delicious! I would definitely return. The barista was extremely helpful and generous. He let me sample their drip coffee and took his time explaining the different drinks. I also loved how he interacted with other customers--he knew them by name and made thoughtful recommendations. Super nice and welcoming! They are Christian-based and host many events, which adds to the warm, community-focused atmosphere. Highly recommend!

    Thank you Jando CM for the incredible Yelp recommendation …read more My fave place this year! It was also rated top 10 bakery Cafe according to USA today . Came on a Saturday at 2pm for some tortas . I can see why it has such good reviews.Service was so friendly and helpful. No lie .That was the best lentil soup I have ever had and I don't even like lentils.It was served perfectly hot with small bits of onion and carrots with a delicious not overly salted broth. I would drive another 3 hours just for that soup! The grilled chicken torta was sooo good . It had smashed avocado lime mash with greens and Swiss cheese. Minus the mayo for me and I could not stop eating it. The Mexican sourdough was so good that we went back and ordered 4 rolls to take home to Htown with us. Lightly toasted on outside with a soft center. Perfection! Cappuccino came out steaming hot with cute decorated heart motif. Good balance of milk and expresso. Easy to get to location with plenty of parking.Line moved fast and food came out quickly. Will absolutely return when back in town.

    I discovered this place by accident at their downtown location and immediately fell in love with…read moreit. Everything looked amazing, and so much of it is made in-house. Since this location was closer, a friend and I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Mexican Cubana with lentil soup and a Banana Nut Matcha Latte. The Cubana was absolutely out of this world. Everything about it was perfect. The lentil soup was also very good, although my friend ordered the black bean soup, and I think I might have been missing out. LOL. The sandwich and soup are definitely on the higher end price-wise, but I wouldn't let that stop you. There is plenty of value in the meal, and the sandwich is incredibly hearty. Both my friend and I had to take half of ours to go, which is something I seldom do. The Banana Nut Matcha Latte, however, was not for me. At $7.50, I expected more and would probably skip it next time. The atmosphere was very nice. They have indoor and outdoor seating; the restaurant was very clean, and even though it was extremely busy, there was still enough room to move around comfortably. They also have a coffee bar that doubles as a regular bar. Unfortunately, the customer service experience is what brought my rating down to 3 stars--and I honestly considered giving it 2.5. I understand this was a busy Saturday morning, especially with the restaurant being near a major entertainment and shopping area. We waited in a line outside, which did not bother me. The bigger issue was what happened once we got inside. Everyone enters the same line, moving first through the pastry counter--AND THE PASTRIES ARE HEAVEN!--before eventually reaching the register to order and pay. You are then given a table number and your food is delivered to you. I've been to plenty of restaurants that operate this way, but the flow here felt unnecessarily chaotic. Everyone was placed into the same line regardless of whether they were dining in, ordering food to go, or simply stopping in for pastries. I think having separate service areas or lines could help tremendously. It was also obvious that some of the staff were overwhelmed by how busy things had become. Unfortunately, that frustration seemed to spill over into some customer interactions, and a few employees came across as less than warm or welcoming. It may simply have been a difficult morning, but it definitely affected our experience. The bright spot was having the opportunity to speak with the manager on shift, Ms. Charisma. She was professional, empathetic, and genuinely listened to my concerns. She did not make excuses or try to justify what happened. She offered to compensate us for our meal, which we declined, but I truly appreciated the gesture. I wasn't looking for a free meal. I wanted another great experience that would make me excited to come back. Before this visit, I had been to the downtown location twice, and both experiences were fantastic. I had actually considered it one of the best cafes I'd found in San Antonio so far. That's why this visit was especially disappointing. I was excited to introduce a friend to a place I enjoyed so much, only to have a very different experience. Maybe it is location-dependent. Maybe it was simply the time of day or an especially difficult Saturday morning. What makes it frustrating is that the food itself was outstanding--a perfect 10/10. I was completely satisfied with my meal, but the service experience made it difficult to fully enjoy it. The location is also great, in a newer shopping center near La Cantera Resort and Six Flags. Parking wasn't terrible, although weekends can be challenging. I imagine it would be much easier during the week. Overall: Food: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Service: Needs improvement Overall: 3/5 Thank you, Ms. Charisma, for taking the time to listen and for handling the situation with professionalism and empathy. Because of that interaction, I am willing to give this location another chance.

The matcha had a rich, earthy flavor, and the light sea salt cream on top added the perfect touch without making it overly sweet.

The café was clean, the staff was friendly, and despite being busy, the service was quick.

On our recent visit, we redeemed a free 8-inch chocolate mouse cake with our points. I pre-ordered it Friday for Saturday morning and noted that it was for a birthday. I arrived 10 minutes early, but still had to wait another 15 minutes just for the oval "Happy Birthday" sign. I figured ordering ahead meant everything would be ready. The cake was still good, and we continue to enjoy their pastries and baked goods. Just taking off one star because we really miss how clean, organized, and well-managed this place used to be. We definitely miss that Filipina manager!

It's such a unique concept that blends banking with a modern coffee shop, and it works surprisingly well. What initially brought me in was **MLB Mondays**, which offer complimentary drinks--a fun perk that introduced me to the space. I'm glad it did because I ended up loving the atmosphere. Even when it's busy, it never feels loud or chaotic. It's the kind of place where you can focus, study, read, work remotely, or simply enjoy a good cup of coffee. The seating options are another highlight. Whether you prefer traditional tables and chairs, comfortable lounge seating, cozy benches, or smaller tables for solo work, there's a spot for everyone. They also have three reservable conference rooms, which are perfect if you need a private space for meetings or focused work. I was also impressed by the self-service cashier's check kiosk. Being able to request and print a cashier's check directly from the app is a convenient feature you don't see at most banks. The café regularly offers freebies and member perks, which definitely add value. While I found the food to be a little pricey for my taste, the drink prices were much more reasonable. Overall, I love the concept--it's part bank, part coffee shop, and completely inviting. Whether you're taking care of financial business, meeting friends, getting work done, or just looking for a comfortable place to relax, the Capital One Café is a space I'd happily return to. It may have even convinced me to look into becoming a Capital One customer again.

Now, what really brought us here was the coffee. I tried the Tropical Mocha, and it was fantastic--strong, flavorful, and definitely had the right amount of caffeine. My wife tried the Blueberry Matcha Latte, and that was delicious as well. They're also running Free Coffee Mondays through September 5th with the Capital One app, which is a pretty cool bonus. Overall, I definitely recommend giving Capital One Café a shot if you're in the area. Great customer service, comfortable environment, and most importantly for me--the coffee is damn good.
