My first time with a friend - she's been wanting to try this coffee shop so we ended up meeting there. Its a cute house turned to a coffee shop. They have parking behind the building and entrance in the back and front. I ordered a caramel latte and their nutella loaf. I really enjoyed both! Service was great and the lady was friendly. They even have rooms you can reserve for any parties or meetings. Recommend for the coffee lovers out there!

Very fast service. Big place. Nice ambiance. Definitely recommend if you are in San Antonio in the area. The staff is super nice.

I love spending my Sunday mornings before church at King William Coffee House. It's such a peaceful and inviting spot, with plenty of cozy seating both inside and out on the front porch. Their drip coffee is perfect just the way it is, no need for extras and they often feature pastries from local bakers. One of my favorite places to enjoy a quiet moment, sipping coffee, and easing into the day.

This is exactly what King William needed! Let me first start by saying that the entire King William and Southtown area is filled with amazing houses that are protected by the city to keep their historical essence. I love that they took one of those very iconic building and changed it into a coffee shop. First things first, I love entering a new business and receiving a warm welcome by staff which was exactly what happened. The person working the counter was amazing and walked us through their new businesses and their menu item. For my first time I went with an iced coffee and some kind of nutella pastry that they had available. The coffee was delicious and you could tell they use high quality beans. The building is beautiful and has multiple rooms with plenty of sitting, which also makes it the perfect spot to work. I can't wait to come back and try a new item from their menu!

I want to live here. Taking up residence in a two-story historic house, King William Coffee House brought a much-needed coffee shop to an area saturated with brunch spots and bars. The original creaky hardwood floors are a delight to walk through, and there are multiple seating rooms, a couple you can tell used to be bedrooms. The upstairs is cut off to customers, one can only imagine what fun lies up there. I came a little early so they were short on pastries. One of the machines was also broken, so even though the barista wanted to recommend the Beauregard, he couldn't make it. He suggested the vanilla latte. I also ordered a cortado and a blondie (cranberry-walnut) courtesy of Scratch Kitchen. For the King William area, parking is the best. There are plenty of spots behind the building!! There's also a side and front entrance. While I waited for my cortado to cool, I ate about half the blondie and it was delicious. It was like a blondie had an identity crisis and wanted to live its best life as a scone. I loved it - but then again, you can never go wrong with Scratch Kitchen. The cortado was foamy and started off aggressively bitter, but by the last swig I was tasting some magic. A very interesting ride, how I ended up not caring for it at first but then enjoying it. The vanilla latte gave me pause. It kinda tasted like it had vanilla extract instead of vanilla syrup, but it was still pretty tasty nonetheless. I'm pretty stoked about this spot. It's got so much space, the outlets are at seat-level so you can work comfortably on your laptop, and the background noise is unobtrusive. A great little getaway spot that I look forward to visiting again.

I love this place! I got a brown sugar cappuccino and it was delicious. Very nice spot to study, a lot of seating, and there's little book store in the back!

SO excited this local spot has opened! We went during the soft launch so it was quiet but still quiet a few people throughout the sho already working and drinking their coffee. I love the outdoor seating option- though there are PLENTY of indoor options. Multiple rooms and 3 (that's right) 3 bathroom options! No waiting in lines here. The vibes fit perfectly for the king William neighborhood and will be excited to head back. Also, there is parking in the back

Delicious coffee, friendly staff, great vibes and plenty of seating! Can't wait to try more of their seasonal flavors!

Such a cute and atmospheric place! I wish they had longer hours during the week but I'm grateful they're open late on the weekends! This place is super popular as it was packed when I went to study. The baristas were very kind and the drink I got came out a little on the sweeter side so I ordered and extra shot, the barista offered to remake the drink but I just bought the extra shot since I feel like taste is definitely unique for everyone! Overall great place and I would come again. I wish they would open up more rooms in the house for more seating though.

Take a stroll to King William Coffeehouse, which is aesthetically beautiful. It looks like it'd smell like a fresh coat of paint. What a gorgeous experience just next to Friendly Spot downtown on S. Alamo. I had the Hot Pereida (hot apple cider infused with pear and ginger). It's a must try for any cider lover. I'd have this again and again and again. I hope it's not just part of their holiday menu.

Lavender Matcha Latte
Angelica A.

This is such a cute coffee shop! I love strolling around the King William's area and I'm glad I stopped by. The building itself is very homey and cozy. There's lots of seating and they have parking for customers. I ordered a matcha latte with lavender syrup. The staff were welcoming and kind. Definitely coming again!

Such a beautiful place. With terrible customer service and subpar drinks to match the lackluster personalities of the barista working. Easter Sunday was the last straw. The lady working seemed so annoyed with having to take our order. None of the usual how's your day? What can I get you? What kind of milk would you like with that? I've had this person make my drink before. I was hoping she had improved. Since she had been new a few weeks back. She had not. She makes our drinks. Walks right past us. Goes all the way around and sits them on the coffee counter. Doesn't call out our name and was completely content with not giving us our drinks. So we get up to get them. It wasn't particularly busy, so there really wasn't any excuse. The drinks were awful. Cooler than lukewarm. And just overall not good. I can no longer justify wasting my money here. So go at your own risk.

However, when it was finally served, it appeared completely clear, which left me a bit confused about the preparation process. I originally stopped in for the prerolls, but due to a recent ban or restriction, they were unavailable. Unfortunately, the cashier didn't seem very interested in suggesting alternative products or helping me find a comparable option. Overall, the experience didn't leave much of an impression. Between the average drinks, limited product availability, and lack of engagement from the staff, I don't see myself returning.

In order my usual iced vanilla latte and also order a dandelion/chamomile tea. Service was fast and friendly, like I like it . And the coffee was great! I'll definitely be back when it n the downtown area. I can imagine stopping in more for coffee to accommodate a downtown stroll.

I placed an order and walked to the coffee shop, only to be informed that they were bought out and didn't even have my order or the right ingredients to make it. Instead of a refund, they offered to make me a regular coffee which I declined. I took a long walk just to go there to pay $12 for coffee that didn't exist and a coffee shop that doesn't exist as of 2 weeks ago! They need to take their ordering down and website if they won't fulfill your order. It's absolutely stealing my money!!!!! I tried emailing, calling and asking for a refund in person and I was denied. What a great way to treat someone visiting here!

I didn't end up getting anything as I found their coffee cup sizes to be small & I wanted something a little bit bigger. They didn't have many items for sale. Like 2 danishes on display, limited drinks in their cooler & the menu is small. If you're not a picky coffee drinker & aren't looking for a big food menu then this is your place! It wasn't very busy while my friend & I sat outside of the shop. There are seating areas in the coffee shop to hang out at.

For two iced lattes, a kid's French toast with berries and an avocado toast with an egg we paid $40. The avocado toast was nothing to rave about. It lacked flavor.. The coffee was good but not the best I've had in San Antonio. The French toast was the best thing we had during the visit. The location itself is what brought us to this location as we wanted to have a morning coffee and allow our little one to have fun at the park next to the business. You do have to park in the garage as it is almost impossible to find street parking. But that's common in this area. They also will not validate your parking so be prepared to pay for your expected time here.
