    Bytes Cafe has definitely been one of our favorite weekend spots! We typically stop by for drinks before we venture out for brunch/shopping in the i10/1604 area. They use Texas Grounds coffee for the espresso drinks here which we love; my husband always gets a sugar free vanilla latte. My go-to is the banana biscoff matcha latte with oat milk - it is everything I want in a matcha drink. Sweet, rich, and satisfying! We've tried a bit of the food - I had the BEC which is the regular breakfast sandwich and my husband had the habanero prosciutto sandwich. Super good! We have plans to try more of the menu here :) The ambiance is so amazing, if you go early it's very relaxed. In the afternoons they often have mini-markets and events so if that's more up your alley, you definitely should try this place out!

    Great coffee shop with even greater vibes! So welcoming and inviting. The staff was super sweet and very nice to chat with. What really left an amazing impression to us was how amazing the coffee was! LOVED how every sip you could taste coffee and not have it overpowered by too many syrups. I got the amor-chata drink and it was sweet but not overly sweet and it was perfect! My husband got the smores latte and his was very good too! Sad we didn't get to try any bites as we only went in for a quick coffee but food looked super good, we're definitely going back to try them again! 10/10 on everything!

    This place is very fun and unique. Even if you aren't a fan of video games they also have board games you can play as well. Their food is wonderful and so is their coffee I had the tiramisu coffee and the Habanero Hitman. The staff was also kind and patient during my order process and answered all the questions I had. They have great value and if you are a gamer this will be a paradise for you as they charge hourly as well as monthly if you are a regular.

    This place was awesome! So unique to still see Internet cafes around the days! The vibes inside are super cool as the place has awesome decorations! They have 3 tvs to play games on including Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo switch, as well as PCs. So cool! The service was really quick and workers were kind. The food was pretty tasty. And the drinks were really good! They offered unique drink flavors such as smores and tiramisu. Definitely recommend for a unique experience!

    We learned that Bytes Cafe opened less than a month ago. Since I work from home, I look for spots I can travel to and grab a bite and work. The staff was super friendly and were more than willing to share info about the family-owned cafe. The game consoles are free to play, there's board games available, and there is an hourly charge for PC gaming. The shop is a mix of gaming, anime, K-Pop, and related thrift shirts. We started with the Ube Cheesecake. OMG - it was incredibly good, and I would come back for more. I easily could have ate another slice. The banana pudding matcha drink was unbelievably flavorful. The staff said that while some eat the pudding off the top, we took their advice and mixed it in which made it so creamy. This is another item I would come back for. We are definitely looking forward to our next time in the cafe.

    Such an interesting little place but the coffee was amazing and the treat selection was plentiful. I wish I would've gotten one! The service was quick and very friendly, offering their opinions and giving recommendations based on what we wanted. Definitely a cool spot with lots of gaming consoles and work from home set up! Large space and not loud at all!

    What an amazing concept definitely something I haven't seen before! Bytes combines a cozy café vibe with gaming setup. They serve delicious coffee, matcha, and a great variety of pastries and sandwiches. I tried the strawberry matcha and it was so good! They also have open play areas for PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo, plus PCs that you can rent by the hour, for the day or you can get a membership. It's such a cool spot for hanging out especially this summer

    Came for their Hello Kitty Event. It was quite a drive for me (40mins) , but I had to come because I've never been to this cafe and of course it's Hello Kitty! Met a couple of friends there. They had different vendors selling a bunch of cute stuff (mostly Hello Kitty) and the cafe had Sanrio themed drinks. Service was great - the lady explained all the drinks and was really friendly. I ended up getting their ube cheesecake and Keroppi drink which was matcha with strawberry foam and crunch on top. It was soo yummy!!! They even had free gift bags! So glad they did this event.. it was super cute! Worth the drive!

    Friendly staff. I got the cookie butter latte & the strawberry matcha! So good!! Def a new fave coffee spot! (Only got a pic of the cookie butter latte)

    Service was good since I attended for an event. I had ordered water, the event special drink (Malibu Sunset), and the food item (cheese jerky). I only received my drinks but never received the food item throughout the night. I understand how busy it can get but since this was my first time checking out the place, I was excited yet was never approached by any staff regarding the food. Other customers who ordered the cheese jerky had received it but I never did.

    This is a family owned shop. They were so kind... great customer service. The coffee was very tasty and so were the treats. My husband said the cheesecake was probably the best he's ever had... he loves cheesecake and pecan pie, so this was a winner for sure! We will definitely be back!

    Ask the Community - Bytes Cafe

    Do they have any vegetarian breakfast options?

    Most of the pastries are vegetarian friendly; you can probably make some of the sandwiches veggie friendly if you ask without meat

    My family (my sister in particular) are Frida Kahlo fans so I'm not quite sure what took me so long…read moreto visit Mas Cafe's truck. It's not even that far from me (compared to other places). Bucky and I made the drive to the HEB Plus and found the truck. Interestingly enough, they operate kinda like a drive-thru, but they accept walk-ups, too. Immediately after I pulled up, they saw Bucky and offered him a pup cup. I didn't even have to ask! The cooed and fawned over him as they saw him enjoy it in my back seat. For myself, I got the cortado and I asked for a recommendation. She suggested a Tres Leches cold brew with cinnamon. Right on - I went ahead and ordered it. The cortado was ver nice, with minimal paper cup flavor. It was smooth with a roasted flavor, and a nice, creamy viscosity. A pretty good, respectable cortado. The Tres Leches cold brew reminds me of merienda with my family in Brownsville, despite us usually not having cold coffee - haha. But the flavors were delicious. The coffee was strong, but still had that "flavored latte" taste I tend to enjoy on a hot day. That tres leches foam is truly a delight. If I lived closer, I'd probably be here every day they're open. However, now that I know that they're really good, I may have to make some frequent stops.

    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.

I loved the matcha. The rosemary and lavender syrup is lovely with the perfect balance of herbal and sweet. The matcha is nice and creamy but not overly sweet. The coffee is pretty solid, not as sweet as some other places which is nice. It's not overly watery either. The lemon curd pastry was fantastic; nice sugary crisp and super flakey and buttery. The lemon curd itself is a smidge overwhelming in tartness but still delicious overall. The cinnamon croissant was my least favorite because it was a bit dry inside. I think they would also benefit from having prices next to the pastries. Service was great still!
