I'm not a frequent customer at on the grind but I went today and pulled out a stamp card for a free coffee. I didn't realize that they went to digital rewards. I asked if they would please honor it and they refused too. I'm really surprised but will not be going to OTG anymore. Much rather go to Dutch Bros... read more

Omg! I normally go here but for the first time I had a not so grand experience. I freaking almost swallowed a bee. I'm not sure how it happened or what but I'm sure an employee or something would have seen this bee. As I was drinking at work I thought I was sipping on what felt like corn shells I guess?? IT WAS BEE SKIN. shook the cup around and there was A FREAKING BEE IN MY COFFEE. IM NOT ALLERGIC. but what if??? Anyway, here's a picture of the bee mid shake. Yikes. read more

On The Grind - A freaking bee in my coffee. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Universal City, Texas

On our way back from Austin to San Antonio, we found this coffee spot and were very pleased with our experience and coffee! Flavorful and decently priced! We got mediums that looked more like large! The staff/cashier was very friendly and helpful. This coffee spot is just a drive thru (no type of seating) so it's convenient to grab some coffee for the road! 10/10 and will be returning to try some other items on the menu! read more

Staff is so friendly! I enjoy coming here when I'm in the area. Their regular coffee is good and they make a great London fog tea. I've ordered their lemon poppy seed muffin top and found it delicious and fresh tasting. If you happen to have your furbaby - ask for the pup cup! My little mini dachshund loved hers read more

I came to this place yesterday and ordered a frozen coffee drink and it was so good but I came today and whoever made it literally made it so bad it tasted like nothing but straight watered down sweet milk and it wasn't even frozen just tiny ice chips floating in milk no coffee at all :( I normally really enjoy this place though read more

They've always been polite but they always mess up my drinks or are just lazy when making them. My boyfriend got me a large coffee and paid for less ice but all they did was add more milk. That's not what he paid for. Take care of your customers please. read more

My coffee or energy drink is always spot on . This location has very friendly staff. I've tried all the coffee stands off of pat booker RD and On The Grind is the stand my husband and I always prefer. read more

We ordered two iced coffees, and My Husband told the girl at the window to please make them extra extra sweet she said OK. By the way, she was not talkative at all, and she had little blue stars, stuck all over her face and did not make very much eye contact and she didn't talk very much & she didn't smile . I ordered the iced medium Carmelo and it literally had no sweetener in it at all. It was very plain. I asked her if she could please add some simple syrup into it to make it sweet. She took it from My Husband, went over to another lady that was making drinks and said something about having to add simple syrup into my drink. She wasn't happy about it. It was obvious by what she was saying and the look on her face. This is very poor customer service. We usually go to on the grind on Walzem Road where we get exemplary service, and I will not be coming back to this on the grind ever again. Please train your employees to be better and do better. read more

3.5, this is more of a "me" thing than the coffee shop. I'm not a huge fan of sweet and it's a lot of sweet options and no drip coffee. But it is a drive thru, and open at 5am so that's really great. I recommend if you're "on the grind" and headed to work. Pun intended. read more

Will definitely be coming back!! We got the iced americano and iced mocha (sugar-free) with oat milk. The beans were so smooth and the sugar-free option was just as great. They also do stamp cards which is a plus :) read more

My second time at this location, and both times, service was great. In my first order, I tried the Carmelo, and I was not a fan. The second time around, I decided to try the white chocolate mocha, and it was delicious. From here on out, this will be my go-to whenever I stop here. read more

Six shooter is my go-to on a relaxing morning! Make sure and ask for light ice though

5 star review goes to the awesome staff at On the Grind on Pat Booker.They all are so kind and funny with great music and great vibes. And the coffee is always delicious. read more

My daughter always gets a coconut joy whenever she's done getting her braces adjusted! It's nice and sweet how she loves it! The people that work there are nice teenagers. Not too talkative but they get the job done in time to get her back to school. Nice ambiance. read more

Went here for the first time since being in San Antonio 6 months. Loved it Was with my Husband his name is Camelo and they have a drink foe his name! Omg so cool! read more

Y'all provide me with energy anytime I have to come into work, thank you guys for the super fast customer service and always being so friendly! I will never go to Starbucks again after coming here. The coffee is so much better and cheaper and you're out of the drive thru in under 5 min! read more

Tried a coffee from here for the first time this past week. It was delicious AND not over priced! The barista suggested the buttered pecan latte, and it didn't disappoint! A friend suggested a few others that are my list to try, so I'll definitely be back. Service is friendly and quick! read more

Definitely a hidden GEM! This has to be the best coffee shop. You can taste the freshness! It doesn't taste fermented. Is Dark and strong just like I like my men! I will be back. I ordered the Vanilla Americano with almond milk! Vegetarian/ Plant based friendly. They also give you a rewards card, after buying 10 coffees you'll get one free. read more

Mexican mocha!!! My favorite drink there. The service is touch and go! Sometimes the music is so loud inside they cant here my order and i have to repeat it one too many times. Service thought is fast; they keep the customers moving. read more

My current go-to coffee joint! Gotta love supporting a local and successful Texas business! No matter how long the line is, I can get in and out of there in less than 5 minutes every time! The service is always kinder than kind. Every time I leave, I drive away thinking, "Dang, they were nice" haha. My coworkers and I are obsessed with it. I guarantee you, if you walk into my workplace at any given time, one of us has a cup of coffee from On the Grind lol. Their iced coffee just hits the spot. It's consistently delicious. The prices are very affordable and notably lower than the *cough cough* green mermaid *cough cough* coffee competitor. Also they have punch cards! Order 10 coffees and get 1 free, yay! read more

What can I say this little hidden drive thru gem is the best coffee in SA! I promise after you've been here and see what options they have and there great customer service you won't ever go back to that water downed Starbucks coffee again lol I honestly never liked Starbucks anyways and this place opened my mind up to really trying different coffee options until you figure out what you like best. My recommendation is their iced sandlot with soy and the works (whip and chocolate drizzle) it's beyond amazing! Also they give out a punch card where when you buy 10 drinks from them you get your next one free I thought that was definitely a perk and awesome(: read more

I usually go to this otg weekly and i've never had a problem before the staff is always friendly and the drinks are made fast. But today I ordered my usual drink a red raspberry red bull slush and as im about half way done I start to see these black specs all in my drink. I don't know if its mold or something maybe from the blender but i'm really grossed out read more

Large americano with steamed heavy whipping cream. I can only assume that there is no right way to make this since it comes out different nearly every time I order. I always try to give the benefit of the doubt and say maybe it was an off day for the barista...but just way too many off days. Makes this 2 hour drive depressing. So my choices for americanos gets smaller and smaller since I stopped going to Starbucks and now OTG. Too bad I don't like dessert coffee because I am sure all the sweeteners masks the flavor of the coffee or maybe mask the quality of the beans. Either way, for those of you that like dessert coffee, I am sure this place is the rigjt spot for you. If a bad cup of expresso or Americano is what you need...look no further as they got that here. Now to find an alternative read more

We love OTG! They are always quick and delicious. Ashley is always so kind and takes great care of us!

I got a large snickers iced coffee today . It was amazing!!! I've tried a couple drinks from here and they're always amazing.I highly recommend this place. read more

On the grind entirely specializes in fun, unique, and inventive coffee drinks. While the lines are often long, they do a good job of sending people out to work through them quickly. The grasshopper is a favorite of mine when I want a sugar kick, but the iced americano always hits the spot. The only draw back is that they don't have any food. It would be nice to have a donut or breakfast bun with my coffee if possible. In short, good coffee, fair prices, and fast service. A far better option than Starbucks. Of the coffee shops in the area, this is a good one for a fast brew, better than Starbucks and Dunkin, but falls short of the top spot. read more

We just got a new On the Grind built by our house a few months ago. I went to it for the first time a few days ago. I got a berry smoothie. It was very tasty! I enjoyed it to the bottom of the cup. :) read more

I love supporting local when I can, especially when it things like coffee. OTG small little drive thru with 2 windows always open. Even when the line is long, definitely get in and out faster than going to SB on Pat Booker. The menu is great! All the options available. I love that who ever is on the other side of that window has a smile on their face and actually interact with you as a person. Prices are amazing! Their coffee definitely is the best hands down!! Thank you for be down the road! read more

Got the 6 shot shooter which has 6 shots of espresso & salted caramel and this is definitely one of the best coffees I've had. Woke me up! Got this blended because of how hot it is out today. read more

Coffee was excellent and possible the best I've had in the area. Service was quick and enjoyed their recommendation. Will come back again.

Huge disappointment! we ordered four drinks and five muffin tops. The muffins rips weee frozen and in wrappers! they were soggy and moldy. We for our money back for the muffins and didn't even touch the packages. They refused! it was 50.00! planning on calling corporate to file a complaint. read more

I love the coffee at On the Grind! And the staff on Pat Booker are amazing! All day everyday I would visit On The Grind before giving The high end coffee place monopolizing the city. read more

Awesome service, product and staff! Please don't change! This is the primary location that gets my business, and they hit a Homerun every time. I'm so happy they don't over roast the beans, and I'm also happy that their coffee drinks are well balanced. Once again, please don't change. read more

Better than Starbucks! This place is legit! Don't let the small locations fool you, the coffee here packs a punch. Most important of all, the coffee here is delicious. I've had the "Mexican Mocha, Hawaiian, and Big Tex", and I didn't have to add extra sugar, cinnamon or any other type of flavor and each was exquisite. The Mexican Mocha is a spiced cinnamon mocha. The Hawaiian is a chocolate macadamia nut. And the Big Tex has two expresó shots, hazel nut and caramel mocha. read more

Every time I've gotten a drink I've always loved it! I love the fact that they're open until 10pm since I'm a night shift worker. I cannot say enough good things about this place! read more

They always pass the 3 F test. Fresh, fast, friendly. Never a bad experience, no matter which location I go to. They kill the game. read more

This wonderful little drive-through coffee shop chain is a cheaper and quality alternative to the more expensive standard places. On The Grind seems to focus on fancy/sweet coffees and such, including chai tea and milkshakes, but simple black coffees are available. The menu is smallish but still has plenty of options and potential modifications to those options. There are several unique combinations and possible additions, at least in my experience. What I've tried had very good flavor -- definitely equal to or better than options from more established competitors, but cheaper as the prices here are excellent. The staff members are friendly and efficient. FYI, the process is to drive up to one of the two windows (serving different directions), order and pay, wait a minute for the staff to make your drinks, and then you're on your way. read more
