    Nice little coffee shop with a homey feel inside. There was a nice selection of drinks and treats. Today was a simple cardamom infused Olla coffee and it was a tasty choice. The service was quick and friendly. An easy choice to stop in for a quiet place to relax or catch up with a friend!

    Olla express is a must on your list of coffee shops and coffee! Everything here is absolutely delicious and very versatile! They have great Cpg selection and I love how they also help support other businesses through their business! Truly a testament of entrepreneurs helping entrepreneurs! The service is always great and vibes are great for a chill study session or reading or to grab coffee with a friend! Their piloncillo syrup is great and coffee beans are great to take come and have olla at home!

    Best Coffee Find that nobody knows about!!! Their coffee is served at Texas's ONLY Michelin star restaurant!!! Cozy, quaint, bright, coffee house in a house. Knowledgeable, friendly, family, staff. Michelin star taste and quality of coffee. Was here a couple weeks ago and made a point to return. I still wonder why there is not a line out the front door at this place. First cappuccino had piloncillo syrup they make from the cone shaped sugar. Second drink was egg nog cappuccino Third drink with garnish is pan de muerto with appropriate orange sugar and dried blossoms to represent corn husks. "Nobody"

    Street parking on a non busy street certain times of day. Great customer service . The interior is cute and cozy. Looking forward to being cold and coming in to warm up.

    I have been meaning to go to Los Patios and I'm so glad I did as part of a local coffee crawl. Olla express café is located right in the front of the shops as your facing away from the back parking lot. I thought it might be only the truck at first (which was closed) but the cafe is large inside and beautiful! They have a big fireplace, plenty of seating, and games you can play. The coffee was delicious!! I tried the Cafe de Olla Frida with Anise. I hung out here for a little and it's such a cute vibe, all the staff are very smiley and helpful. :)

    Super cute spot! I live near so this is walking distance and it's a great coffee shop. The coffee is really good and I love that they do it their way. I love that everyone speaks Spanish and English really well. They have a variety of choices and I'm excited to try the rest! The outside patio area is beautiful and a great spot for working or reading. Great prices, great atmosphere, and great pastries! The staff was very nice and very helpful in making sure I got a good coffee based on what I was craving.

    We went to Ole express Café brick and mortar today and our coffee was amazing. This is an old house turned into a little coffee café . The inside is decorated so cute and it's very warm and inviting you feel like you're sitting inside your own living room, sipping on a cup of coffee. Bro, you coffee lovers out there this is a must try coffee café. They also sell a lot of their own coffees. The flavor of Café de olla is created by different ingredients and spices including ground coffee, cinnamon and also piloncillo, which is a traditional non-refined sugar from Mexico. I suggest trying The Frida Iced Coffee with cinnamon piloncillo .

    The Cafe de Olla Frida. No cream or extra sugar needed!!

    This place has amazing coffee. I first found out about them during the coffee festival in 2019. I walked up and got a cup of the Frida coffee. As I was walking to the cream and sugar station I took a sip. It was perfect the was it was given to me. I didn't add anything extra and I drank it black. After years of not having this coffee I could still remember how good it was. I found out that they had a new location and I checked them out on a Thursday morning. The Frida coffee was still great and it didn't need anything extra. They actually have a brick and mortar store now. It's a very nice place with outdoor seating. They have the only coffee I drink black.They are open on Wednesday and Thursday from 8am until 3pm. They are open on Friday until Sunday from 8am until 4pm. Definitely check them out when you get the opportunity.

    Great little space for a coffee shop. Indoor seating with tables and fireplace as well as outdoor seating on a patio covered with trees. Lots of options for your caffeine cravings .. as well as those who decaffeinate. We ordered the Cafe de olla Valentina (Coffee with cinnamon, clove, ginger, orange, & piloncillo) and the Socorro (Coffee with spices, piloncillo & Mexican chocolate) . We both enjoyed the combo of flavors and the richness of the coffee. I wish we could have stayed around to enjoy the patio. The staff was very nice. Really good prices.

    Family owned. Cool to see catfish Nev and Kamie visited here . Latte with Mexican mocha syrup was delicious! Cookie was a nice accompaniment. They also gave free bread just because our order was taking a little longer. Very sweet employees and lovely vibe! The surrounding area is a great place to hangout.

    Keto Matcha Pan Monjita cappuccino  Horchata Cold Brew
    Jasmine D.

    This is such a cute little coffee shop! The owner was so lovely and helpful with her suggestions. We were able to sample some flavors and chose the horchata cold brew and the monjita cappuccino but made it more of a latte. Loved them both! Will definitely be coming back!!

    16 oz. Cold Brew w/horchata cold foam. Sweeten.

    Short and sweet review. The staff is funny and really helpful with recommendations. Parking is on a one way street. It gets a bit busy but it's a great place to have a seat and chill. I've tried many things on the menu and can say the cafe de olla latte (hot) or cold brew (iced) are my go to. If you're about consistency, give this place a try.

    Cutest inside

    Cute little spot. Nice patio outside. Quaint & cozy inside. Device was friendly and patient. Ended up purchasing a couple packs of single serve, pour over, mezcal infused coffee. I haven't tried it yet. But it sounds so interesting and I'm looking forward to trying it. Ordered an horchata cold brew to go and it was yummy. Perfect sweet, perfect coffee flavor. Definitely like this spot! Latina owned & operated, serving up delicious hot and iced coffee specialties & even some non caffeinated options. Support local!

    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.
