Coffee / Latte was good. Lounge area was nice and comfortable but the music was way too loud…read more It was definitely difficult for the guy who took my order to hear me and for me to hear him. Maybe that's why they didn't get my order correct. Why is it that people who work at a location feel that all of us like listening to music that is too loud to have a conversation with someone else.

My Must‑Stop Coffee Spot in Gruene…read more Gruene Coffee Haus is my go‑to spot every time I'm in Gruene, and since I live close by, it's an easy stop that never disappoints. The location is perfect, the vibe is cozy, and it's one of those places that just becomes part of your routine. They offer all the standard drinks along with great specialty options -- lattes, teas, smoothies -- and everything is consistently good. The service is friendly, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable for such a popular local shop. They also feature some amazing coffee beans, including my absolute favorites: Texas Pecan and Bourbon Streusel Cake. And if you want them ground, they'll do it for you on the spot. The shop itself is small, so it fills up pretty quickly, and their assorted pastries tend to go fast too -- but honestly, that just shows how loved this place is.

The baristas at the register and who were making our coffee were very friendly. They gave us some solid recommendations, and I ended up going with their seasonal brown butter pumpkin latte. Their homemade syrup was full of buttery pumpkin flavor without being overly sweet at all, which I really liked. The coastal maple latte was a favorite as well. Kora Kora Coffee will definitely be on our list to come back next time we're in the area. They were the perfect ending to our river floating weekend, cheers!

Ordering happens first at the counter and then each party is assigned a table. I loved this because the only wait is on the front end. The staff were friendly, attentive and genuinely wanting to make sure everything was perfect. Lastly and most importantly was the food. It was delivered hot, portions were generous and every dish was tasty. I highly recommend Breakfast.

I put "maybe" because the food is great! Pancakes are chef's kisses. Plus I love the GF options. So…read morethank you for that. BUT, heaven forbid you ask for syrup or bring your own bottle, with your own water ("TABC forbids it"...sure Jan). The first time we went, there was something "off" that happened with the interaction I had with the lady owner. I just couldnt remember what it was, and I dont hold grudges. Plus I give grace to ppl I dont know the backstory to. This second time, I asked for syrup with the pancakes. I get it, it already had the house made fruit syrup, and I probably didn't NEED maple syrup. But Im a fat kid, and it was Saturday. Let a chubby girl live! I asked for syrup and was starred at, "why? ". I replied, "....for my pancakes". I felt judged. Then she stares at me again saying, "theres this joke...nevermind, bad timing" and walked away and then brought the syrup. I really wanted to ask what the joke was. Am I the butt end of it?! Well, it makes me sad. The food really is awesome. The personality, not so much. And I get it, my job is customer and client related and we want to say what's on our mind, but its just not kind. Not very Texan or southern to just give unprovoked rudeness. Still no grudges. I just dont want to be judged for having extra sugar on a Saturday brunch.

A great place to come hang out, ready, or study. There is always a great outdoor area for you and your friends to relax. My order was "Cowboy like me". It's great. Not supper strong but strong enough. Light cream to soften it up a little bit definitely doesn't take away from the espresso. My wife ordered their drip coffee. We enjoy good, black coffee. If that's you, you'll enjoy as well. Definitely a place I would come back to again.

My only complaint is the menu isnt displayed and the menus weren't next to the entrance so I didnt know what I wanted to drink by the time I got to the front of the line. I really enjoyed my Fall Harvest drink and highly recommend. The Cowboy drink is strong!!! Totally recommend and had a great first visit

I just wanted to come in fast and get a coffee like I do every night, after I get off work. First I ordered 2 pies and paid $18 for those, then I ordered 2 cafe olé and she, and I quote told me "No ma'am we're not doing any coffees at night" I asked when they started doing that very kindly since she made it seem like it was a new every day thing, and she said "oh we started today, it was too busy" I just got off of a 12 hour shift and this woman doesn't want to make me a coffee at a coffee shop? Very disrespectful and rude. I'm a loyal customer at two tarts, and the owner is the kindest person ever! She would have made me a coffee at midnight if she had too!

It definitely is geared currently toward classically feminine styles (though of course anyone can enjoy those books). Selfishly, I'd like to see them perhaps bridge that gap a little and bring in some contemporary "cozy sci-fi" (think Becky Chambers, Annalee Newitz, Grace Curtis, or to a lesser extent Martha Wells who is somehow cozy and brutally violent at the same time). The coffee is pretty good too.

I've been following The Chapter Co. on social media since they opened and I am so happy to have…read morefinally been able to explore it in person! This cute little shop is located in downtown New Braunfels and they share space with another boutique. There is a lot of construction happening right now around the downtown area so it can be easy to miss if you are not paying attention. They are located in the back area of the space and have a nice coffee bar and table for you to hang out. They have a small but mighty selection of romance and fantasy books (primarily) and also offer a few other bookish items. I love that they had an ACOTAR themed book menu! I ordered their Night Court which was cold brew with chocolate foam and it was delicious and perfect for our hot Texas weather. Overall this is a great bookstore, and I can't wait to come back again.

I am a die hard on the grind fan but this location seems to mis the mark more often than the one by…read moremy house. The espresso frequently tastes old/burnt, they use WAY too much sweetener, or forget something like the whip or my foam top. It's rare that it's too bad to drink but definitely annoying enough that I avoid this location if possible. The cookie butter latte I have pictured was supposed to have whip and cinnamon on it but had neither and honestly just didn't taste like anything. Again, I'm obviously drinking it (I paid for it so I'm going to) but it's just disappointing to pay $5 for a coffee for it not to be what I wanted.

This place has a great vibe--it's a little hip and a fun spot to just hang out. We ordered a cheesecake in a jar, along with a couple of cheesecake slices, and everything was amazing. The girl working there was super friendly and walked me through all of the options they had available. Her recommendations made it even harder to choose because everything looked so good! When we're back in the area, we'll definitely be stopping by for another sugar fix. Highly recommend for any cheesecake lover!

I normally get the strawberry matcha latte hot, and they do a good job sweetening it with the syrups they use. However, there was one day I opted for a salted caramel cream drink, but forgot to request it as a hote drink. Still, it tasted scrumptious and even though a hot drink would have been preferred (especially with the rainy day that was happening).
