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.

Sadly it has taken my husband and I forever to try this place, but we finally did! The inside is so…read moreclean and open (patio seating, too), the bathrooms are immaculate and the staff is so welcoming. You can tell everyone is genuinely happy to be there (not something you see often). We ordered the lemon blueberry pancakes (amazing), the breakfast fried rice (so many flavors and so filling!) and my husband had Joe's Sammich. Everything was made fresh and had so many elements of flavor to them! The portions are larger than they seem and so rich! Even their waffle fries are perfectly crisped and flavored! My husband loved their cold brew and I enjoyed drip coffee. We will definitely be back again to try more menu items- including the boozy coffee. The place is unique and I'm so glad it's here!

They have a soda fountain/ section with coffee where you get your own drinks, and have a seat. The restaurant has a minimal modern style, and was very clean. The bathroom was cute done in black and white decor. We ordered the lemon blueberry pancakes, when they arrived at the table, the presentation was amazing and looked delicious. Upon tasting them, absolutely no lemon taste, and the pancakes themselves were kind of gummy. Asked the co- owner woman for some syrup also could I use some butter. Her reply was it's not meant to be eaten with syrup that I would ruin the ambiance of the meal... ok... don't appreciate someone telling me how to eat my food when it definitely lacks something. Also felt rushed when asked if I was done, while still eating.

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 girlfriend heard about this new coffee spot and wanted to give it a try. It is on a main road so…read moreparking is a little tricky, and after we parked we noticed the business had parking in the back.. Once we arrived inside we loved the homey vibe and the various seating throughout the small home. They also had games and various things for my 2 year old to keep himself occupied while waiting. They had various selections for coffee and various drink options as well. But we were there for the coffee since it was a little early. I ordered "Cowboy like Me" which was a Cold brew, double shot of espresso, oat milk, and simple syrup. I also ordered a cookie and croissant. The price was decent and the coffee was good. I am more excited to come back at a later time to try their drink options. But it was overall a decent experience.

We spoke with the owner(?) who was also from california and had a great conversation. The drinks were amazing and there was a nice area to sit.

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.

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.
