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!

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.

Delicious Ube Cheesecake

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!

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!

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

Last weekend, I decided to wait in the line and it went by much faster than I thought it would. We ordered the iced cookie butter matcha with an almond croissant. This might've been one of the best almond croissants I've had too, it was flaky on the outside and soft, sweet. I'm for all things cookie butter and this one did NOT disappoint. It was a perfect balance of sweet with still that lovely matcha flavor. I went with a friend who doesn't like matcha and even he was enjoying it. The second time I went is when they were running a matcha promo that they announced on their instagram (definitely follow the there!) and so I went for my midday pickup and there was a small line of about 7 people. It went by pretty fast. We were intrigued by the horchata milk and the employee let us try a bit and we were convinced that was the one. We got the horchata matcha and the banana matcha with banana cream. I definitely loved both of them but if I had to pick a favorite, it would def be that banana matcha. Perfect balance of that real tasting banana flavor (I dislike any of the artificial fruit flavorings) with the well-balanced matcha. The employees were all super friendly as they even encouraged us to ask for modifications after we got our drinks. Overall, i'll definitely be back and I 1000% get the hype now!!

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!

Tables can become a hot commodity but there is additional seating outside if the inside fills up. One of the best matcha lattes I've had in SA - especially the pumpkin matcha! But no worries if matcha isn't your thing they always have a full menu of coffee and refresher style drinks. I love how fun and creative their different seasonal drinks are. Staff is always super friendly and they even offer a student discount with your ID. Really should be gatekeeping this spot but have to give them their flowers.

The Mexican tortas are the real deal! And they give you a side with them like soup, salad, or rice! Everyone is so friendly. Service is quick. Place is hopping! The fist day I was with 3 others and we split the tequila almond croissant. Killer! Ruined me forever for almond croissants. So much almond and flavor. Flaky- flaky-flaky!!! Get this! The torta was delicious too. Cut in half. I could only eat half after the delicious vegetarian lentil soup and trying the croissant and other pastry. The next day I got the torta with chorizo. Equally delicious. Also got a blueberry bear claw- amazing. I tried the orang blossom pastry/bread too. They also have juices. I got the beet the first day. Perfetto! Will definitely return here.

It is a little on the pricey side, but the lattes and bakery items are really good. They used to have a sugared donut that was my absolute favorite, but unfortunately they no longer carry it. The tortas aren't your typical Mexican torta, but they're still good in their own way. That said, I don't really come here for the main food--I come for the bakery and the café vibe. The salads are also solid if you're looking for something lighter. Service is ok. There's this one guy who usually cleans the tables and he's so friendly. I didn't catch his name but he's on it. I'll Get his name next time im there.
