Love this place. It's been a staple in the west side for a few years now and I'm thankful the owner…read moredid something like this for the community. Maybe it's my imagination but I feel like it really kicked off the coffee community for the raza, now we see other Latin influenced coffee shops locally, and a plethora of them too. If you have the pleasure of meeting the owner definitely shake his hand he's a sweet fellow with lots of character. The baristas are amazing and their menu has lots of love & passion throughout. GET THE GRILLED CHEESE WITH BARBACOA AND TOMATO SOUP ‍‍‍ with an horchata latte. It's a pairing for the soul. The ambiance inside is very inviting and warm with lots of seating indoors & outdoors. We show this place to our loved ones every chance we get!

Yelp steered me right and brought me here on a Thursday morning. Walking in I wasn't sure if this was only a coffee/tea spot or if they sold cocktails and beers too. The bar area and decor lends itself to look like an old bar and it has great vibes! No beer or cocktails here but they do have a seemingly delicious menu! We didn't eat anything while we were here because we had breakfast prior to coming in. The menu had an array of offerings and sandwiches that I could see myself coming back and trying in the future. I ordered a Mexican Mocha and my mom had a cold brew. Service was fast and friendly. We found a nice spot close to the windows and I was able to look around at all the relics around and displayed at the front entrance. After we got our drinks, one of the owners or managers, walked around offering delicious slices of lemon frost cake. I was so appreciative that this just made our delicious coffee even better! I saw many students and other folks reading and studying while we were here. The atmosphere lends itself to do so too as it is chill, quiet, and quaint. I will definitely be back again. This spot was super unique and I really love their smart branding and logos/brand identity.

I am so glad this place came to this side of town! I received a flyer on my car the other day while I was at the gym. I am currently training for a marathon in September, so I do my long runs on Saturdays at the Pond. After my run this morning, the flyer still in my car reminded me to check this place out to get a recovery drink right around 9am. I am so glad I did and I am so glad they were open. I informed the young lady I was looking for something a little on the lower calorie side with protein and some quick sugars. She recommended a couple of options.... I went with the Peanut Butter & Banana Smoothie...she suggested substituting the banana with strawberry and I also asked for almond milk instead of milk. This was delicious!! It was the perfect refreshing, light, flavorful and nutritious drink I needed after that long run. A perfect reward. Come on...peanut butter, cinnamon, strawberry, vanilla - this was a huge WIN. Thank you for bringing this to this side of town. We were in need of you. I hope our community continues to support your concept.

They don't have set hours, so I'd recommend checking their social media for their daily hours before heading over. I was a bit discouraged to see they open at noon but it was definitely worth the wait. I ordered the Peanut Butter Crunch, and they even gave me the option of having a lid or no lid. Of course I went for no lid, and he packed the bowl with tons of fruit. While the place is a bit on the pricey side the do give big portions making it well worth it. I've visited a few times now, and I've noticed that each time, I seem to get a little less fruit than before, but it's still delicious. They don't have much of a sitting area, just a bench to wait while they are preparing your bowl. It's definitely worth a stop for a acai bowl!

First off, this is not a typical snack shop. Yes, they offer shakes, teas, mini donuts, and waffles. There is a twist to it though. Their goodies are actually healthy! The shakes, mini donuts, and waffles are made with Herbalife protein powder. They don't contain any of the sugary carb filled ingredients. If you are counting your carbs and sugar intake then this is the perfect spot for you! If you are craving a decadent sugar filled snack, this is not the spot for you. I ordered an oreo shake, a cinnamon frap, and an order of mini donuts. For being a healthy version, they were very good. I bought the oreo shake for my sister and she said that she enjoyed it but definitely would have preferred the non healthy type of shake. I didn't give her a heads up before handing it over to her because I wanted to see her reaction.... because that's what sisters do, lol! I'm glad that more healthy conscientious places are starting to pop up. This spot offers a nice variety of drink options that are diet friendly. I'll definitely be back to try out some of the other shake flavors.

I kept it simple with steak, cheese and peppers but it was perfectly seasoned and the bread was soft. Definitely my new go to sandwich spot in Southtown. So good. They also have other snacks on the menu so I'll for sure be back

The For the Sol shot had ginger, turmeric, pepper, and other delicious things I imagine a doctor would have given you back in the early 1900s. It was spicy, but it a warming way, not a white guy cry way. I meandered in here because it was next to a barber shop and I was killing time, and I'm glad I stopped by. The juice was an unexpected boost to my afternoon, and the coffee was the best I've had in San Antonio, hands down. It's a little out of my way on the morning commute, but worth leaving early for to get the Iced Terra Latte. Highly recommend this place to get the juices flowing!

The baristas are all so very friendly and always make me feel welcomed! They even help suggest what I would like best and what to try next. If you're also looking to eat something they have items such as sandwiches and acai bowls to choose from!!

Okay no big deal I will get the regular boba then. She also tells me they're out of green tea and some other things. I'm shocked at the management. Where is the inventory list?
