    Caramel Macchiato, Iced, Medium.

    Service is fantastic, the vibe is great, aesthetic super cute. Chocolate muffins are delicious. I've made this spot my Friday morning after workout treat. Highly recommend the Dirty Dirty Horchata hot and their Avani iced. Other options are still a 10/10 but those two are my absolute favorite

    Currently, I do not live in San Antonio anymore, but this place is always a must when I make my trips. At most coffeehouses I tend to stick to my same orders/flavors, but my first interaction with the owner, she told me to try something different, so now I always try to pick something from her seasonal menu. This time for March, I got the "Over the Rainbow" and it was so good. What sold me is the rose petals on top! I loved getting it as a hot drink because it pulled from the floral notes of the rose petals. My boyfriend got the drink with "Amorcito" in the name - I cannot remember the full name, but it has her signature strawberry horchata in it and it is SO GOOD! I love the homemade recipe she uses. I am never disappointed with any of my choices.

    Best coffee in a 1.5 mile vicinity! Best service--Sandy the barista/owner loves getting to know her customers. Adorable pink bus with every yummy coffee, tea, horchata and refresher option available. My friend got a hot chai and loved it. I get iced decaf vanilla lattes and they've been great. Also got a cucumber mint refresher and loved it. Lots of different flavor options. I've gone to this place three days in a row! It's that good and fast. A million times better than Dutch Bros and also by going here, you're supporting a Latina woman owned small local business. They are opening a coffeeshop from Holmes High school soon and I can't wait!

    Iced avian (number 1 drink there) and the hot dirty horchata (sooo good and favorite so far)

    Yelped this place and it was the really close to our hotel. I'm just sad I found this place on the second to last day. The service here is welcoming and so inviting. The barista and I assuming owner was so nice and informative and described her drinks so well. I ended up with two drinks because I couldn't decide and I am glad I did! They're both so tasty and not overly sweet or milky. I can still taste the espresso. My favorite so far is the dirty horchata. I got it warm and it's seriously reminding me of Christmas in a cup. The second drink I got is the avian one. I can't remember the name but definitely recommend checking this place out. Their horchata is homemade and I am trying to tell myself I need to go back in the afternoon to try their strawberry horchata.

    My second time at this little coffee truck and the second experience is just as great as the first! Customer service is on point and the lady who takes the orders is just the sweetest. Drinks are delicious! Love how fresh the coffee taste. The truck is so cute with the colors and decor, feels very welcoming.

    I just recently discovered this place by accident and I love it! Their menu is HUGE and they have lots of awesome speciality drinks (& of course OG coffees). The lady who owns the food truck is very friendly and sweet and she gets the drinks out in no time! I highly recommend!

    A la Mexicana!

What made it even better was the Snoopy memorabilia everywhere! It gave the space such a fun personality and made it uniquely charming compared to your typical coffee stop. The menu here is delightfully creative, with a mix of classics and signature house drinks -- from lattes to seasonal specials like the Cinnamon Roll (a brown sugar latte with cream cheese cold foam!) to the Lavender Matcha and crowd-favorite Poppy Latte. Customer service here deserves a special shout-out. The staff was genuinely warm, attentive, and happy to chat a bit -- which made the whole experience feel personal and welcoming. If you love cozy vibes, friendly service, and a quirky theme (Snoopy fans especially ), you have to check this place out. It's one of those coffee shops that feels like a hidden gem -- perfect for solo coffee dates, casual hangs, or just a comforting caffeine break. Would absolutely return!

Cool diamond art displayed throughout store space, a compost bin, and area of their specialized coffee for sale. I appreciated their menu of coffee varieties, breakfast/lunch menu, and home made pastries.

I chose Spanish Romance decaf, sub with coconut milk. Absolutely delicious! Not too sweet and loved the chocolate, hazelnut, and coconut notes. My friend ordered a blueberry scone- all pastries made in house and was packed with blueberries. Next time I'm in the area, I'll definitely stop in!

The atmosphere was calming and quiet enough place to relax if you want. The lady at the front was nice to us and gave us some good recommendations. My friend has a glutten allergy so the lady made sure to recommend options that would be best for her. My coffee was a ice white mocha with lavender and blackberry. It was really delicious and not overwhelming on the coffee or sweet. I would come back here just for this drink again. We also ordered these bacon, egg bites I thought were decent and easy to walk around with (would be good with some sauce). I definitely would come back here again to try more coffee or even the cute coffee flights they offered. Looking forward to the next visit.

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.

The outside doesn't scream coffee shop , in fact it's kind of an "IYKYK" type places because it's right in plain sight and I passed it for awhile before knowing what it was. Thanks to the San Antonio coffee fb group for all of the recommendations! They have a pretty expansive menu as well as plenty of delicious looking baked goods ! They have some cbd options too but I didn't try any of those. I tried the iced texas Star - flavorful and great espresso flavor. I do wish they used smaller ice cubes so the drink would last just a tiny bit longer. I also tried their chocolate croissant. Good, but would've been better warmed up! I don't remember if they offered that. My friend had the matcha and she loved it. They recently got a new matcha and she was worried because she loved the other one but was pleasantly surprised how smooth and delicious this one was as well. I definitely need to go back and try their matcha as well as other menu items because everything sounds so good. 1 star taken off because it is very hard to navigate with a stroller which is a bummer because I know tons of moms that love to venture out and find new coffee shops. On the plus side, clean restrooms with a changing table which is hard to come by!
