    Great little caffeine stop in the morning while we set about our day. Nice strong cappuccino in a perfect size cup. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love when a coffee shop smells so inviting[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . Service was great and my coffee came out steaming hot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice casual local spot with seating inside[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved all the windows so you can watch people and the world go by.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a full coffee and tea menu and offer pastries and other breakfast items. Located in a hotel but easy access for anyone not staying here too. Gave me the boost for the day.

    Coffee Shop No. 508 Niche Coffee Co. San Antonio, TX June 10, 2025 From across the street, my first glance of Niche Coffee Company gave me the impression there was some rich history inside the building; so I had to look it up while waiting on my cortado. Turns out the cafe sits on the corner of The Riverwalk Plaza Hotel; once the garage to The Plaza Hotel. It was once boasted as the "finest hotel in the South" during the 1920's. The Plaza stood on an island in the San Antonio River up until 1926 when the water was channeled away in flood-control work. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The building is not as lavish it was during its heyday golden era, but the bones are still there. Spanish heritage remains in the arches, carved stone and tile floors. I found the location to be captivatingly beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Niche Coffee Co.and their friendly baristas now welcomes coffee lovers on the corner street level of The Riverwalk Plaza. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The cafe is modern yet comfortable and cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I read a couple chapters of a book and sipped happily on my very well made cortado. It was bold in flavor and served at a perfect temperature so it was smooth and velvety just the way I like it. The shop uses coffee beans from Quantum Coffee Roasters, a local San Antonio roaster. Enjoying life one cortado at a time!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location is in the corner of the building in the Riverwalk Plaza hotel. It is small with only a few tables but is airy and open with lots of natural lighting[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was later in the afternoon so it wasn't busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie latte, it is with oat milk. I like that the drink was designed around oat milk. It is tasty. I used to go to their food truck but this is the first time in this location. It is definitely a drink worth checking out.

    Definitely consider this a hidden gem. I love that they were open early and the barista was very helpful and helping me pick a seasonal beverage for my sister!

    This is a cozy coffee shop, staff were friendly. Too bad there was not a big selection in pastries and coffee took alittle long to be served We appreciate that they were open at 7am

    Great place
    Hillary B.

    Great little coffee place and super sweet people. This was a nice place to run into for a quick pick-me-up.

    Iced latte with oat milk

    Settled for iced latte after matcha was gone. Great milk alternatives, but that's all I could taste, there's better coffee places out there.

    Short focused drink menu, no real food options, but a darn good espresso. It takes time to craft the drinks, but worth the wait.

    Coffee was bland and no flavor. Americano was watered down. I felt as though gas station coffee had more flavor.

    If you are looking for some delicious homemade pastries and bread, you have come to the right spot!…read moreMy husband first mentioned to me that he knew of someone who made some amazing breads so I had to try it for myself! We ordered the everything bagel and jalapeno bagel, a loaf of sourdough bread, pretzel dogs and hand pies and let me tell you IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Our order was delivered to the door by Jeanine herself and she is the sweetest and most approachable person! Once we got our order, my husband and I went to town to try a piece of everything! The everything bagel and jalapeno bagel just as you imagined it- so fragrant as if you were to have picked it up yourself at the bakery but with a twist! It was so so fluffy and with each bite, we got a piece of the jalapeno or everything seasoning on it! Perfect texture, perfect amount of chew! After we snacked on the bagels, we decided to make our way to the loft of sourdough bread. OH MY GOODNESS, the loft of bread is a hefty size for one but when we sliced into it, that CRISP from the first slice sent us to the moon! The sourdough was fluffy on the inside and nice and crispy on the outside. We immediately looked at each other, smiled and took a big bite out of it! Once we were done mooning over the sourdough bread, we made our way to the pretzel dogs. The pretzel dogs were wrapped with a flaky crust and full of flavor as well. We decided that this would be the perfect snack idea or lunch idea for the kiddos or even for my husband himself. Very compact, portable and easy to eat. Who knew that something so simple would taste this delicious when you have it freshly made with homemade dough instead of store bought?! Last but not least, my favorite were the hand pies! For one, I've never had something called a "hand pie" but two, they are adorable! Literally, a hand pie is a pie that fits into your hand but these are just even more special! You can tell that it was homemade as no two pies were identical but they tasted amazing! A flaky crust with a coating of sugar crystals on the outside and bursting with fruit and filling on the inside! The hand pies even have a heart cut out in the front as well. Super adorable and oh so yummy! Will we be ordering again? YOU BET!!! Everything we got was stellar and we can't wait to try more of what Jeanine has to offer! We love supporting small and local businesses! Prices are reasonable as well- remember, when you're supporting small and local businesses, prices are going to be a little bit more expensive compared to the mass produced market items, but you are getting quality items that have been handmade (which takes time) with locally sourced ingredients. All in all, y'all need to order from one punch dough and try her amazing pastries and breads. You won't regret it!

It has a large outdoor area with picnic tables, fans and water misters. There was one family that was letting their kids run like crazy so we sat inside. It's a bit warm- lots of windows with odd setup. It is counter service- so you order and they deliver. They have beer, a few wine and cider. We were on the fence overall but then my husband tasted his beer- 5/5. And the food came out: pizza 5/5 (probably the best pizza I've had in SA) and smoked turkey sandwich (whoa! Smokey but not over smoked where you are burping the taste hours later) with fries 5/5 (crisp, seasoned perfectly). We will definitely be back and so should you. You should try it now.

It was the right amount of all the things. I am light wait so only 1 shot of espresso for me. Hubby also enjoyed his coffee. We had 3 everything bagels with cream cheese. We were either hungry or the bagels were that good. It's probably a combination of both. Now, let's talk about the kindness of the staff and the vibe of the place. I forgot to request alternative milk. We were just going to purchase another cup with almond milk. They made me a cup without charge. How sweet is that. Additionally, my husband saw a board where strangers can buy each other coffee. So naturally we repaid their kindness by getting two strangers a cup and left some notes of encouragement. With everything happening in our world today, this was a beautiful reminder of kindness. So pass it on. Checkout this dope, please and buy a stranger a cup of coffee. Until next time, blessings!
