    Pomeranian Foam or polar bear cub foam. What a wonderful attention to detail. This was on the cardamom with two express shots and the syrup

    There should be lines out the door. But you can walk right up to the counter. People should be heading here in droves. I don't understand why I spent an hour there by myself in the cozy nooks and corners of multiple setting rooms. Got lots of work done thanks to the free WiFi. The barista is fantastic, probably the best part of the experience. Knowledgeable friendly and eager to share the special yummy ingredients that you can only get here!

    The tequila infused coffee with the piloncillo syrup were a great combination.

    Cute coffee shop! I found it on the way back home, and was in awe of their products, including the yummy coffee. I tried the iced cafe de olla latte and it was delicious. The cinnamon cookie that comes with this coffee was a great touch.

    I I really like this place! The code is great, options are plentiful, it's downtown, and....they…read moresell alcohol (cheers)! I stopped by as I was riding through downtown and spotted a parking spot at the entrance. I immediately embraced the vibe as it's a coffee LOUNGE! Both of which I love. They offer traditional coffee drinks and appetizers. I'm n addition, they also offer beer, wine, pastries and cannabis options. 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.

    The oat milk vanilla latte was just okay, and the tea I ordered for my husband was also…read moreunderwhelming. It took quite a while to prepare, and I was told it needed time to steep. 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.

    I really love this coffee cafe, located in the Hemisfair district of San Antonio. I spent time here…read moretwice. Formerly a house, the interior of this cafe has a serene feel inside with comfortable seating. There is also seating on the front porch and a huge backyard patio deck. You order at the counter, which is right when you walk in the front door. Your order is brought to your table, wherever you may be sitting. On my first visit I had a croque monsieur, a deli ham and melted cheese sandwich with béchamel sauce between toasted bread. It was delicious and was served with potato chips. I also got a hot vanilla latte, served in a mug, which was absolute perfection. One thing I liked was the absence of laptop campers. I only spotted one on both of my visits. People come here to quietly socialize or just take a break from life for a few minutes. My second visit was mainly to get another one of those fantastic vanilla lattes but I also chose a chocolate croissant from their pastry case. The croissant, served on a nice dish, was fresh, flakey, and full of chocolate. I sat, relaxed, and felt like things didn't get much better than this.

    Commonwealth Coffee was good, but not the best coffee experience I've had. The interior itself is…read morevery clean and has plenty of space inside to sit and relax, which I appreciated. However, parking was difficult and not very convenient. The coffee was good and smooth, but nothing that really stood out. It was solid quality, just not something I'd go out of my way for. One thing that surprised me was the price. My latte was listed at $7, but with all the extra charges for add-ons it quickly became $9+, which felt a bit pricey even coming from Chicago where coffee can already be expensive. What really affected the rating for me was the service speed. It was probably the slowest coffee service I've experienced. I waited about 15 minutes for two lattes, and there was only one other person ahead of me. For a simple order, that felt like a long time. Overall, it's a nice café with a clean, spacious atmosphere and decent coffee, but the pricing and slow service make it somewhere I'd visit occasionally rather than regularly.

    This was a recommendation from our tour guide while on a trolley tour and boy was he spot on!…read more The shop is clean and to the point. It advertises its doughnuts in a few revolving glass tower. Not all look appetizing tbh because they are huge and display only BUTTTTTT I ordered an ugly one lol and I wish I had gotten two! I ordered a banana chocolate caramel and peanut doughnut. It was HUGE! Big as my head The flavor and textures were nothingggggg like I've ever tasted. It wasn't heavy and cake like. It almost favored a croissant but with more depth. The banana flavor was not artificial either. I wish I could explain how it took me by surprise and I doubt I'll find another like it. I will say it's THE BEST doughnut I've ever had. My husband had an Oreo one and loved his as well. He's a doughnut guy and idk if he's ever had one he doesn't like. Mine was so good I didn't want to taste his and I always eat his food Thank you to the young lady working the counter for the sweet recommendation on what to order May 29, 2026

    We ordered online, thinking this would be an easy and quick pickup…read more Pickup took forever but that wasn't even the worst part. We ordered a dozen plus 4 regular -- and first off, our dozen box looked like it had been thrown together from across the room. The box was just throw together rather than lined up gently (and without any parchment between the heavy, icing-covered donuts!) so by the time we got where we were going they were all stuck together and sharing icing flavors. Every haphazard donut stuck to the next. Unappetizing, I assure you. Secondly, after all that, they didn't even give us our four extra even though we paid for them.
