I want to tell you about this marvelous experience that we had today. In searching for a coffee place close to our hotel we discovered kapej. Instead of our standards we opted for their cafe de olla, mine straight, black, and Irene's with almond milk. Both excellent and highly recommended. The introduction of star anise in the recipe, big thumbs up. As was the delicious cinnamon roll. But the highlights: the wonderful staff and conversation and meeting Rudy, who was the creator of their local beverages, discovering that he offered a cold beverage called Tepache. Similar in "fizz" to kombucha, for a reference. Now traditionally this beverage is made with pineapple that is fermented to give it a bubbly fizziness, but Sr. Rudy has come up with a variation, using ginger and blackberry and some other fruits and I tell you that it is worth making a special trip just to sample his particular recipe. Highly recommended. I am already looking forward to visiting here on our next trip to San Antonio.. read more

Kapej - Coffee break - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

waste of time to come here in my opinion.... coffee tasted super bitter and i could not even taste it the syrup i ordered

Lovely spot, they have more parking in the back. It's a small shop but there was still enough designated seating to work from. They even have another room in the back which I found out later after I explored to the bathroom. Great drinks, I got the black cherry & vanilla matcha, so yummy! I loved how there was people crafting, working, eating, and it felt cozy. The tacos were also amazing and even with corn tortilla. read more

Kapej - Black cherry matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Ok, typically I will eat at a location and then wait later on to write about it. Oh no, not here! Took my first bite of the egg, spinach, cheddar sandwich and immediately started thinking, have I had a better breakfast sandwich in San Antonio. 5 minutes later - sandwich was gone and no picture! That rarely happens! Coffee was perfect! This seems to be a little mom and pop place. Paintings, jewelry, and other items. We live downtown and both of our Doctors are a block from Kapej. We will walk to all Dr appointments and treat ourselves on the way back. Well done Kapej, and thank you not for breakfast, but for a experience. read more

Don't walk here, run!! I got the dulce de leche latte and my friend tried their strawbery shortcake matcha and they were both great and unique. We got some of their food items and I can't describe how nice it is to eat eggs that's real vs. the kind one gets at IHOP or Magnolia's. They're seasoned well and the french toast is soft and has a fluff to it. Spanish vibes inside with lots of art to look at and purchase alongside jewelry. It feels homey in there. I will be coming here every time I'm downtown now. read more

Fantastic getaway for some food, coffee and remote work. Service was super friendly and the place is so adorable with "available to buy" paintings all over the walls. read more

Quaint little coffee shop that also does food. It's a very small inside area but it seems nice for a grab and go or maybe to sit and study for a little bit. I got an iced Mexican Vanilla Latte which was good. Not sure if it was the syrup or the beans itself but it has an aftertaste that I didn't enjoy too much, but it reminds me of beans that have the notes of cherry and I personally don't like that but many people do ! Overall I think I would come again if I were in the area and maybe try something else like their matcha. They had a big seasonal menu. read more

I was very pleased with Kapej! I was searching for a cute and cozy spot in downtown that had parking and somewhere I could stay for a couple of hours. Upon arrival, there was a small parking lot that was in the back. The overall place is a bit small especially when it does get a bit crowded. Throughout the cafe, there were a lot of pieces of art for sale so that definitely gave a unique feel to the place. The service was pretty good and there was always someone cleaning to ensure a clean environment! We had ordered the tiramisu latte and it was very delicious. The coffee was pretty strong, but very flavorful! The only thing I wish was different was the transparency of prices for the seasonal beverages. I'll definitely be sure to be back! read more

Kapej is such a charming little coffee shop serving delicious breakfast and brunch. As soon as I walked in, it felt like stepping into my grandmother's house warm and inviting. The vibe here is amazing, from the friendly staff to the beautiful art on the walls, greenery, and local jewelry, books for sale I ordered the 3 Leches Strawberry Matcha, and it was just as delicious as it sounds! I also got the egg sandwich, which was super good. The space is a bit small, but they offer seating in the front, plus a back room with tables that many people might not know about. There are also a few outdoor tables if you prefer to sit outside. Everything is reasonably priced for the quality of food and the overall good vibes. Definitely a hidden gem worth visiting! read more

Quaint cute cozy bright spot on Madison Square Park about a 15 minute walk from downtown. Very nice owner/artist and family serving up some great Mexican/Mayan food. We came for breakfast and loved the Arepa Con Queso which came with a side of the tastiest salsa sauce causing us to also drench our breakfast tacos with it. Hope to come back to try lunch! read more

My mom was having a procedure at BMC so my friend and I went to Kapej for breakfast. The outside of the building is very quaint; it looks like a cute little house. Upon entering inside, it's so homey and warm and inviting. There's art (for purchase) by seemingly local artists. The counter to order has seasonal menus on display, and paper menus to reference (one for food and one for drinks. I ordered the Kapej con Leche and the French toast with a side of bacon and fruit cup. The food came out quickly and it was really delicious. This is a super quaint and comfortable coffee shop that serves really delicious food and drinks. I'd recommend it and I'll definitely add it to my list next time I'm in town. read more

You MUST visit this café! Former coffee shop and specialty tea shop barista here! I finally made the trip to Kapej and am so sad I didn't make it sooner. The atmosphere of this place was so chill and cozy, and the drinks perfected the experience. Art, jewelry, and other crafts for sale decorate the walls of this quiet café, and there's even a few notebooks at the front for customers to draw, write, and engage with. My fiancé and I admittedly came closer to closing time, but the barista that took our order and prepared our drinks didn't seem perturbed in the slightest, was so very kind, and had our drinks out to us in no time at all. We ordered an Iced Lavender Matcha Latte and an Iced Rose Matcha Latte with Almond Milk. The Lavender Matcha had the best matcha to lavender ratio I've ever had. The Lavender didn't overwhelm or overpower but PERFECTLY complemented the Matcha. It was crafted excellently; blended smooth and creamy, and had beautiful layering prior to mixing the drink ourselves. The same could be said about the Rose Matcha, however the rose taste was quite overpowering. I made the mistake of forgetting to ask for half Rose flavoring as rose itself has a very powerful taste, so it was like drinking a liquid rose. I couldn't really taste the matcha at all, but even then it was like drinking a lovely rose tea instead. Still absolutely delicious. I'm hoping to return soon so I can try out some of their pastries, namely their homemade pop tarts, and a few more of their unique flavors. This place was such a vibe and had such delicious teas that it's been hard to forget about! read more

Found this coffee shop in the downtown area. It was so cute and vibey. It displayed art work from local San Antonio artists. It had seating both inside and outside. The worker who helped us when ordering was so nice. She explained all their drinks and what was in them. She also threw in accommodations they could make if needed. I ordered one of their popular drinks the Ferrero Latte. So good! It even came with a Ferrero candy on top. Would definitely recommend visiting here. read more

Was brought here by a co-worker. Gotta say this is a quaint and cool little coffee shop. Very inconspicuous. I did not know this coffee shop even existed before coming here. And I've driven past many many times. The service was friendly, polite, attentive, and quick. I only ordered a latte but it was easily one of the best I've had. Quality ingredients for sure. Look forward to going back and really taking in the vibe and the menu read more

This is the cutest little spot! I was staying downtown and this was a quick 15 minute walk away. The place is very inviting and comfortable from the moment you step inside. They have couches, tables, and even a nice bar height table at the window you can sit at and look outside. There is also outdoor seating. Everyone working here was so friendly and helpful. I ordered a brown sugar latte, chicken pesto sandwich, and a guava and cheese pastry. The latte is their signature drink. The pesto sandwich was delicious! You could tell it was carefully made and warmed to perfection. The chicken was finely shredded with avocado and a creamy bbq spread on it. There were a lot of pastry options so I asked for a recommendation and was told the guava and cheese pop tart. The pastry part was perfectly flakey yet not too crumbly. The filling tasted homemade it was so good. I definitely recommend this spot and will be back next time I'm in town! read more

Randomly pulled off on the side of the road heading downtown bc I saw a coffee sign and needed a pick me up. The latte combinations (like tiramisu and Ferraro) sounded delicious but once I saw strawberry and matcha I had to change my order. Had the strawberry tres leches matcha latte and it was absolutely delicious; I slurped it all down almost immediately. The cashier told me they make the strawberry puree in house, and they source the match locally. I don't live in SA but any time I come back I'll be sure to swing by and get a drink here. The inside is filled with fun art and a back room that you could use as a great place to study or work remotely. Didn't try any food so can't comment on that. Parking in the back, but be wary when you pull in, there's a little curb separating the driveways read more

I love coming to this cute, little cafe. It's always so quiet and even when there's lots of people it never feels overcrowded or too loud. I love to get their purple vanilla and blue bonnet. The staff are very friendly and helpful, most also speak English and Spanish, so i find that especially helpful. read more

I was pleasantly surprised! Amazing coffee flavors and their corn pancake was so so good I'd come back just for that! So happy to discover this gem while driving through the city on a road trip.. it's quite small (think it's a renovated home) so there's not much space but still, definitely worth going back to 10/10 read more

Run, don't come here. Wait for them to hire more people or figure out their time management and kinks. More than a 30 minute wait for coffee, on a Saturday morning - I couldn't wait any longer and just got a refund. First red flag is getting here, finishing my order (took 5 minutes to wait in line and order), then waiting and noticing one person (who was already seated while I got here and ordered) approaching the cashier asking about her drink and mentioning to her they never started her drink. She just got a refund and ran. I should have done the same. One other customer who was there before the other lady waiting - experiencing the same thing. He asked, told him they were running behind. Before we left three people left and got a refund. Will give this place another shot in the future...if it's still open. read more

This place is small and quaint. A co worker and I are remote workers and meet up here to collaborate. They having offer food with a good selection and great prices. Their coffee both espresso drinks and drip coffee is really good. The service is exceptional! Really nice folks. read more

This is a very cute spot. Located downtown with a beautiful view of the park right across the street from it. You can enjoy your coffee inside the cute shop or enjoy your coffee on the patio with a view. They offer a variety of coffee for an affordable price. They put their spin on some flavors and it's incredible. This is def a must stop to try a new coffee spot in town. They are friendly and willing to recommend a coffee if you are not sure what to get. They also have pastries and food items as well. Go visit and leave your own review. They also have art from local artists for sale. read more

Flavorless Mexican hot chocolate. My boyfriend asked for an iced latte and they gave him a hot one. He told them and they just put ice in the same one. The homemade strawberry pop tart was the only enjoyable thing. $20 for that. Place was cute on the inside though. read more

Kapej - 3 leches strawberry matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

looove this place. everything I've tried is 10/10! I tried the white chocolate latte today & it was delicious.

Get that bread! This place serves up the best chibata bread, truly ambrosia of the gods! We ordered the smoked salmon toast which was delicate meaty layers piled on saucy mayo on arugula and leafy greens, topped with pickled onion and fresh cherry tomatoes. This was a masterpiece! I went simple and had butter on toast ordered off-menu, it was flavorful security blanket of warmth. The Cuban coffee was just right, served in a traditional old world tiny cup. The place is a converted house turned art gallery and tiny restaurant with only about a dozen seats inside, and a half dozen on the patio. Parking is scant, mostly relying on old styled metered street parking, be ready with your pocket change to feed the meter. read more

I'm always trying new and interesting coffee shops to try to help the coffee community and I was extremely impressed with Kapej! I've been coming to Kapej for a while because I'm so impressed by their coffee and their matcha. Kapej is top 3 for matcha in all San Antonio!! Coffee/Food: I ordered the tres leches strawberry matcha and it's literally my favorite matcha in all of San Antonio!!! I also ordered the pop tart and it was good! I believe they make all their pastries in house (correct me if I'm wrong). Service: The workers were extremely nice and helpful, they walked around and asked if my partner and I were doing okay and even offered a water refill which I was really grateful for! read more
