Tend Coffee was such a great find! I was excited to see they serve Rocky's Matcha, which is one of…read moremy favorite matcha brands, and they prepared it perfectly. It was smooth, vibrant, and had a rich matcha flavor without being overly sweet. If you're picky about your matcha, this is definitely worth trying. The shop has a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere and is located inside Triumph Church. It's a cozy spot to relax, work, or meet up with friends, and everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming. If you're looking for a quality matcha or a great local coffee shop, I'd definitely recommend stopping by Tend Coffee. I'll definitely be back!

The coffee is just ridiculously good. The flavors are so good and incomparable to other coffee shops everything tastes so fresh and rich. The stores are always so cozy and inviting on the inside.

On top of all this the staff is always absolutely kind and work quickly, effectively, and consistently. 10/10 I hope everyone can experience this place in their life time.

Cool diamond art displayed throughout store space, a compost bin, and area of their specialized coffee for sale. I appreciated their menu of coffee varieties, breakfast/lunch menu, and home made pastries. But, especially was thankful and grateful that any of their special coffee menu items could be made decaffeinated. Thank you so much!! I can only tolerate decaf. I chose Spanish Romance decaf, sub with coconut milk. Absolutely delicious! Not too sweet and loved the chocolate, hazelnut, and coconut notes. My friend ordered a blueberry scone- all pastries made in house and was packed with blueberries. Next time I'm in the area, I'll definitely stop in!

The fact that you can get the "Fall Coffee Flight collection" hot OR iced is a game-changer for unpredictable Texas weather. The coffee flight is served in cute small glasses, making it perfect to sample a bit of everything. The four flavors are, Sweater Weather, Cinderella, Pumpkin Maple, and Blueberry Coffee Cake. Incredibly balanced, smooth, and full of Autumn flavor without being overly sweet. Their cookie and cinnamon roll, was top tier. Absolutely loved that the baked goods are made fresh in-house. The owner does come up with the best drink concepts, and she can seriously bake! She was very informative about their products, and the staff was warm and friendly. Come and show them some luv and try them out!

We absolutely loved the Parisian cafe theme, with cute Eiffel Tower decorations all around :) ! We tried the artistic - looking peach dessert with fruity filling on the inside :) ! As well as the matcha baklava that was very unique and delicious ;) ! The coffee choices are very rich and flavorful, and not too sweet or bitter :) ! Interestingly, there is also gelato as well in this Parisian - themed cafe :D ! How perfect is it to pair gelato and coffee choices together for a relaxing afternoon ;) ? The two employees who took our orders at the counter were very friendly and courteous :) ! This is the closest we could get to Paris for now :) ! We would highly recommend this cute cafe to anyone who is visiting the Alamo Ranch area :D !

Although I might be slightly biased as this was my first time trying those mousse fruit desserts, we shared the mango, blackberry, and strawberry mousse. They are wonderful. We debated on whether or not the mango could have been less sweet, but in terms of how the chocolate shell on the outside complimented the mousse, it was hard to conclude. Sure, it is pricier, but if there was anything to pick on, it would be the fact that it is a bit far from San Antonio and that maybe some more specials specifically with the desserts could be done. Although it's cheap suggestion, I would not mind paying $25 for 3 mousse desserts. The service was welcoming and friendly. I asked about their coffee, asked about if the Honeycomb tasted better iced or hot - I didn't regret my decision nor one of the lady's suggestion. Cozy ambiance, and definitely more modern... A great place to work, and with owners that are open to feedback. This was evidenced by the stands on the table that encouraged customers to review their drinks and pastries. I wouldn't know anything about if they look at them, but do try their place regardless. Let's hope they do.

First the drive thru is in an awful spot and most of the screens weren't working/ you couldn't read them with the awful glare. I will say they were very friendly (why I gave 2 stars instead of 1) and we got our coffees fast but they were atrocious. I don't like to use such a harsh word but the pumpkin spice latte literally tasted like dirt. Literal potting soil mix. I ended up tasting my husband's cold brew to compare and that was the problem, the coffee. His cold brew was the worst possible cold brew we've ever had. It tasted like dirty dish water with this weird spice or whatever that was not complimentary to the drink. It was about $16 for the two drinks and they both went straight to the trash. I sadly would not recommend this place to anyone, ever.

It's a different kind of feeling, watching someone you look up be fed to the canvas. MMA is not like a normal sport where you can always do some mental gymnastics and hang onto a "the refs stole that game" or "one bounce different and we win that..." No. You have to sit there and watch one of your heroes seemingly lifeless on the canvas. Every time you open Instagram you have to watch it again. Anyways, I needed a pick me up and knew they meant business when the lady at the counter had one of those McDonalds like headsets on. Even though we were the only ones in the place, she was ready for battle. Stay ready so you don't have to get ready. As I was waiting for my 24oz cold brew ($4.95) to help me through the 5 stages of grief, I took in my surroundings: It's almost like a corporate office trying to cosplay as a coffee shop. It's what I imagine a coffee shop at the Meta "campus" would look like. There was even a little conference room with 3 flat screen TVs hung on the wall. Super interesting. I still don't know how to feel about it... would be a great place to work out of though. Cold brew was solid and did its job in getting me through the 4th stage of grief. THANK YOU BEANS & BREW!

I went there after a bit to get myself a tea, and the current cashier there (I believe her name is…read morenadia? Short blonde girl with earrings) was VERY rude. When I first walked in, she gave me an "I don't like you" esque look When I acknowledged it, she had the nerve to call ME the rude one??? She then complained about me as she made my order. Very, very rude and that is something nobody in customer service should do, especially unprompted I began, honestly laughing at the absolute ridiculousness of this, and frankly it did not make me feel welcome in the slightest. Not to mention the almost poor quality drink that was made, I have been there many, many times, and all times (other than this) had great drinks. I hope for far better service next time!

FIRST TIME VISIT!…read more Walked in on a whim after a bday dinner for the hubby at the Texas Roadhouse. I was in search of a sweet treat to celebrate at home and boy, was I ever in for a treat! THE LOCATION: in a bustling and popular shopping center with tons of parking, and other fun businesses, right off the 1604 in the Alamo Ranch area. I have no idea what to expect so I just burst thru the doors like I owned the joint ready to embrace something new. THE MENU: aside from some lovely beverages, the dessert offerings are pretty straightforward. CHEESECAKE!!! And in the best possible, gourmet, decadent way. My eyes were popping out of my head! THE SERVICE: Lucky for me, a very patient gentleman behind the counter was available to assist me during a lull. I'm very grateful for the time he took to answer all my questions. THE GOODS: I knew I wanted cheesecake tonight, but after watching those sweet treats watching me right back through a shield of glass, I understood that I NEEDED cheesecake, and stat! While there were sooo many flavors available in the jars, I wanted to eat cheesecake the traditional way; with a fork to slowly dissect and discover the flavors and texture of each layer. By all appearances, these treats are not your average cheesecake and I'm so intrigued. I choose one slice of each flavor available. At $9 per slice, I'm lucky there were only 3 flavors at this hour. Lol! The jars, btw, are $7 each. Now, I had to ask what ingredients were in each flavor becs there is no written description anywhere in the store. The names do no justice in identifying what you're getting either. Names like "Summer Daze" and "Midnight Berry" leave much to the imagination. Sure, you can see chocolate and/or raspberries, but believe me... you don't really know what treasure you've got until it's melting on your tongue. I can't get home quick enough to meet up with the hubby again. Yayyyyyy! Dessert!!! THE TASTES: Heaven. Nirvana. Jack standing at the bow, arms stretched wide shouting, "I'm the king of the world!" That. That's what it's like. And I literally dissected and analyzed each lovely layer, mostly fluffy, decadent mousse, creamy, cheesy and rich. The crust bottoms. Holy smokes! I actually avoid graham cracker crusts but not this one. A-MAZING. Another slice had a crisp shortbread-like crust. Like, WHO DOES THAT?! Omg. I gorged until I regretted rushing in. Total amateur move. I also secretly selected 2 of the 3 slices that I knew my hubby would turn his nose up to. HAHAHAHAHA! Joke's on him. Trust me. Seriously, trust me. If you love cheesecake, mousse, fresh and tart fruit flavors (like fresh fruits and lemon curd!), give a slice or jar a try. And try a lovely match drink, too. Maybe I'll see you there!
