Gallery beside the coffee mobile!

Brilliant idea! Coffee invades the Galaxy because everyone needs coffee when battling against the dark side. If you go during the weekend you get to experience the nostalgia of Star Wars memorabilia while enjoying some coffee at the same time. They even have something special for the kids to drink as well. We went when they only had one person working, but let us peak in the galactic gallery!

Don't be scared by the fact that this is just a food truck outside of the gym.... This place rocks! Great theme and Star Wars tie ins are fun, but the coffee is so good! Need to try this place!

Very cool concept for a star wars fan! The coffee was yummy and plenty of options for everyone. I appreciate they had kids options as well. Drinks came out fast.

Star Wars Exhibit

This place is super neat! The customer service was really good! They're super nice and friendly and even gave my daughter a free sticker which was so sweet of the worker! Best customer service I had in a long time from a coffee shop in SA. The coffee was good but I feel like the shots could've been a little stronger. They have a variety of a menu and offer lots of cool drinks. Most of them are pretty sweet which I don't oppose, but I do like to taste my coffee more. They are pretty pricey, but I feel like it's okay since they have the cool Star Wars exhibit to look at and enjoy. I would definitely go back.

Calling all Star Wars nerds... Your coffee truck awaits you. This truck in San Antonio is amazing no matter what level of Star Wars fan you are and even if you're not at all. First: The coffee drinks and muffins are delicious! We shared an iced banana bread latte and the flavor was next level. Chocolate chip muffin hit the spot. Absolutely delicious products! Next: The decor...holy Stormtrooper is it fun! It's incredible. Know what else is incredible? The owners. We met Jens and his two sons (hoping to meet his wife Nelda next time). We got to spend a lot of time talking with Jens and his boys. They're originally from Hamburg, Germany and have been in San Antonio for four years. The most fantastic thing ever happened during our visit: Jens invited us for a sneak peek of his brick & mortar Star Wars museum/gallery that will be opening soon. The coffee truck sits in front of it (off to the side of the lot). I was only allowed to take one picture inside the gallery---which is totally understandable. I got a snap of Han Solo frozen in carbonite, so check my pics for it. It was such an honor to have been invited inside the gallery that's just about ready to go. Jens had several handmade dioramas and the depictions of Star Wars movies are out of this world. I can tell you that Galactic Grind will be a stop for us every time we're in San Antonio. It's nice to feel like we've made a new friend who just happens to make great drinks and beautiful artwork.

This place seems primarily for the novelty décor and themed experience, also.. expect a bit of a wait given the concept. However, the wait time for simple drinks was significantly longer than anticipated, and the overall ordering process felt quite disorganized. We decided to stop by after seeing the business featured on TikTok. My husband is a big Star Wars fan, so we thought this would be a fun coffee truck to check out while we were in town. When we arrived, there was a large crowd. Unfortunately, it was difficult to tell who was in line to order versus who was waiting for drinks, as people were scattered with no clear direction or queue. While ordering, I asked if the Light Side Latte could be made sugar-free, as the menu indicated sugar-free options were available. The staff member taking my order seemed unsure and initially told me no, before another employee stepped in to clarify. My husband ordered the Dark Side Latte. Suggestions for improvement: 1. Staff training: Team members should be more familiar with the menu and confident when taking orders. This helps ensure accuracy and creates a better customer experience and doesn't make them look incompetent. 2. Line organization: Establish a clearer ordering line. Parked vehicles were blocking the natural flow, which contributed to the confusion. 3. Drink wait times: We waited over 30 minutes for two standard drinks. Streamlining the drink-making process would greatly improve efficiency. 4. Operational focus during rushes: Stepping away during peak service to film social media content left the remaining staff overwhelmed and slowed service further. As a fellow business owner, I can see the potential here. The theme and concept are creative and appealing, but some operational adjustments would make a big difference. Regarding the drinks themselves, while visually fun, they lacked a strong coffee flavor. The espresso tasted weak and watery, with milk being the dominant taste. Offering cold foam instead of whipped cream might elevate the drinks and make them feel less like dessert-style beverages. I understand the business appears to be fairly new, and with some refinements to workflow, training, and product consistency, this could become a much smoother and more enjoyable experience.

So cute!!

I had been wanting to try this place for a while. What better day to visit than May the 4th! Because of the date, they had a special event and it was so worth the drive and the wait in line. There was so much going on with so many people dressed up and in character that the line/ wait time flew by! My daughter was in awe of all the characters in costume! So much fun and lovely ambiance! I ordered the Han Brewlo and it was the perfect afternoon pick me up! It's a cookies and cream latte and it wasn't too sweet! It was delicious! I also ordered my sister an Americano and she said it was good coffee! I will definitely be returning! If you're a Star Wars fan it's a must try! It's a coffee "truck" btw! Not an actual coffee shop. Parking is limited.

This place was a fun stop! The matcha was pretty good (a little sweet for my liking), but I loved the theme and stickers. My one complaint is the AI menu; most of the drink pictures appeared to be assisted with AI. If I'm ordering food, I feel like I should see the real product. It feels less creative and sort of robs the opportunity for a local artist/photographer. Even something simple like iPhone pictures plastered on a fun background would've been better. Otherwise, this was a very creative shop with some cool drinks. Thanks for the coffee!

Great experience. Jens was great. He provided us props for photo opportunities. He gave us a lightsaber and other items to take photos with. I ordered the biscotti latte which was good and it was $9 usd and my fiancé ordered a Caramel latte for $ 6.50 usd. They sell stickers but there brand sticker is free. Overall the experience was great.

Galactic Grind Coffee is so much fun, and their Matcha is delicious. I got the light side matcha. I also love that they offer pup cups! It made for a happy girl.

Excellent service very clean and my coffee was delicious. We will be back again to try something…read moredifferent in the menu.

Recommend: Yes…read more Sometimes all you need is a good book, a comfy seat, and an even better latte. I was on the hunt for a cozy spot to read a few chapters when I stumbled across Medina River Coffee. Tucked away in a small shopping center, it's easy to overlook--but don't make that mistake. The vibe is dark and moody in the best way: cozy, calm, and perfect for settling in with a book or getting some work done. My favorite feature was the counter seating along the front window. I claimed a little corner seat where I could soak up some natural light, sip my coffee, and happily disappear into my book. Even with several people inside, it never felt noisy or distracting. The baristas were incredibly friendly and took the time to walk me through their menu and offer recommendations. I ended up ordering the Coco- Ro-Dachio iced latte (coconut, chocolate, and pistachio) and asked for it to be less sweet. They absolutely nailed it--it was smooth, balanced, and let all the flavors shine without tasting like dessert in a cup. I also loved seeing the variety of coffee beans for their different coffees. If you're into trying different coffees, you'll have plenty of options to explore. Prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality and size of the drink. The only minor downside is that parking can be a little tight since it's in a smaller shopping center. On the plus side, they're open until 8 p.m., which makes it a great option whether you're looking for a morning pick-me-up or an evening coffee break. If you're searching for a coffee shop with excellent drinks, friendly baristas, and a peaceful atmosphere to read, work, or simply unwind, Medina River Coffee is absolutely worth checking out.

I love they have a coffee bar where you can go and select your coffee beans you can take them home, or ask them to grind them to go. I got myself some Peruvian organic coffee. Definitely a coffee shop to visit, it's a little hidden gem on rhapsody street

Cool, they're overdue for an updated review. The weather was much nicer the last time I was here, and the service was much, much better than I remember. I had asked if they had pup cups and the barista said she didn't think they had whipped cream, but then excitedly corrected herself. Score! While I didn't see a cortado on the menu, I asked if they could make me one (with an enthusiastic yes!). I also ordered an iced oatchata and a donut, and we then sat outside in the patio. Bucky made friends with everyone in the area. The cortado was very pleasant. It had that "paper cup" taste as most cortados will when served in one, but it was still pretty good. Mild and smooth, and not terribly hot, too. The oatchata was a delight. Super refreshing, and the donut was also great. Bucky also gives 5 stars to the pup cup, to the point where he also ate the cup. They still have a very charming and relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend when the weather isn't brutal.

It is a bit on the pricey side but given that I can spend 2-3+ hours here working in the evenings or weekends, I think is worth the price. They have chagaccino which I've found difficult to find elsewhere but it's a great alternative to lattes, although this one does have a shot of espresso in it. Today I had their Mayan Mocha with Almond milk and only half sweetened. It was pretty delicious but I do wish I left it sweetened haha I wanted to taste more of the mocha. I also have had their burritos. They are delicious and they have vegan cheese which is a plus for me. I've been wanting to try their tamales and thats probably on my next visit. Plenty of parking available. Lots of sitting inside and outside. The inside is spacious and breathable with a ton of comfy spots to sit. The tables have enough space to set up the laptop and notebooks along with food and drinks haha. I totally recommend this spot. The staff is always welcoming and friendly.

I also tried the chai which also was tast and flavorful but nothing tops the Mofawar in my opinion.
