    Walk-up

    Recommend: Maybe for the ambiance, outdoor seating area, and staff. Food: I honestly can't recall what specific coffee I believe it was a latte and a bar with poppy seeds. I had to get a refund on the pastry because the consistency felt as if it had been left out for a while and its taste wasn't pleasant at all. Service: The guy who was at the register was very friendly. He answered all my questions regarding the different coffees and patient through it all. Even when I went to return the pastry he was very kind about it. Ambiance: It's a very cozy little place. I think the best time to visit this coffee shop is probably during the early fall/early spring . That way you can take advantage of the outdoor patio. The parking is limited and a little rocky. Inside is very small. Light Music playing in the background. I didn't get a chance to take pics inside.

    Really great coffee! The barista was nice, and it was nice and quaint and quiet. I would love to come here when studying. It's a small indoor but when it's not busy it should be nice. I wouldn't say Id crave this coffee but it's tasty and when I'm around the area I'd be happy to come! The prices were off just a bit. Stages $4.50 with coffee, 0.80 for syrup and $1 for milk... should have been $6.30, maybe $6.90 at most with tax and I was charged $7.50...

    Came here on a whim since I was already close by, and I absolutely loved the vibe of the place and the staff was friendly. I got the barista signature drink (I forget the name) but it was a matcha with Ube, so yummy!!! And an oatmeal raisin cookie, they even heated it up and put it in a little brown bag for me to take to-go.

    As the old adage goes, "if you mess with the bull, you'll get the horns." That's exactly what I thought when I saw a bull fixture arrayed in the French tri-color prominently displayed on the front lawn outside this establishment. This, of course, immediately caught my attention and I had to investigate further! While there is no parking lot, street parking is available. I walked in and approached the front counter. The interior is pleasant, with multiple windows providing ample light, plants, and comfortable chairs. The menu offers an array of coffee, pastries, beer, wine, and breakfast and lunch items. As it was far too early in the day for an alcoholic beverage, I opted for an oat milk mocha. Wow! This was a creamy, flavorful, and satisfying drink made with care! If you're ever in San Antonio, you've got to try Philo!

    TLDR: coolest, littlest coffeehouse in San Antonio! My friend lived in San Antonio for a few years during her college life, and she told me that Philo Coffee was a staple. I can see why! The ambiance is calm, the coffee is great, and the service was quick and friendly. Definitely the coolest, littlest coffeehouse I've come across! I decided to go with their homemade poptart and a shakealto! Both were great. It felt like every detail here is done with some form of care. Enjoy

    Chill spot with free wifi and delicious food. Good place to get some work done, friendly staff and beautiful patio for the sunny days

    Cute little coffee shop located down the street from San Antonio College. Offers a variety of coffee drinks and a limited food menu from toast bread to croissant sandwiches. Has a small indoor seating area and a nice size outdoor patio. Staff member at the time we visited was very friendly and patient with all the questions we had being our first time. Both the coffee and sandwich we had tasted great. Definitely a spot to make a stop at.

    A perfectly designed cup of happiness with a love note!

    If you are looking for something non-corporate and off the beaten path, this is your place. The coffee is average

    Do they have sweet iced tea?

    Does anyone know the type of milk they use?

    Hi Sarai! We use milking milk for our espresso based drinks but also have soy and almond milk available.

    I decided to try this place out because I saw that they were able to put a picture on your coffee…read more The shop is located at the Pearl, kind of catty corner to best quality daughter. It is small with a few a handful of tables inside. Most people there were grabbing their coffee to go. They have their normal menu with coffee and Matcha, but they also have specials of the month posted. You could upload whatever picture you want on your coffee or choose from one of their designs. The staff were all super nice and they even redid fix my friends coffee in order to get a better result with picture. Prices are reasonable and about the going rate at every coffee shop. I had the coucou latte. I thought my coffee had a perfect coconut taste to it and it was not too sweet. They can make any of their drinks iced or hot. Of course parking is going to be either street or paid.

One thing I wish they had done was give us directions after ordering so we knew to look for a photo to upload while we waited. The matcha drinks were much needed since it was hot outside. Iced Vanilla Brown Sugar Matcha (Large 20 oz $7.25) + Oat Milk ($0.50): Not too sweet and you can actually taste the matcha. My husband preferred this one since it was less creamy and more balanced. Iced Mango Matcha (Large 20 oz $7.25) + Oat Milk ($0.50): Very strong mango flavor and the mango cold foam is quite creamy. A very flavorful drink which I liked but the mango overpowered the matcha a bit.

    Nearly 3 years later and I visited Creme once again. This time around I ordered a cookie, cortado,…read moreand a mocha latte. They were nice enough to warm the cookie for me, and it had that "fresh out of the oven" smell and gooeyness. They asked me if I wanted my drinks for here or to-go and I said for here and they still served me in to-go cups, which I thought was weird. The cortado was not my favorite. It was bitter and acidic and the foam was looking a little yeasty. The mocha latte also had very little flavor to it, tasting like hot milk. I had difficulty finishing both drinks. Later I noticed they were using What's Brewing beans, and it made sense. I know many folks love WB? coffee beans, as it's a bit of a local darling, but more often than not I don't enjoy cortados made with their beans. Dirty dishes and cutlery sat on a couple of tables long after folks had left. I don't want to make assumptions, because there WAS a designated staff member for cleaning/wiping things down, but maybe those two evaded her. There's a sign on the wall that says, "I'm not for everyone," and boy are they right. They also stopped playing one of my favorite Radiohead songs (right in the middle of it!) to play Teenage Dream by Katy Perry. Now while I'm not deducting stars for THAT (because that's just downright petty), I can't help but feel unimpressed by my most recent visit. At least the cookie was delicious. Perhaps a third visit is in order. As they say, third time's a charm, right?

    BLUF: Mid-density coffee chain with Texas Hill Country roots, specialize in sweeter calorically…read moredense caffeinated beverages, delicious as an occasional indulgence but not a place I'd go everyday. Summer Moon Coffee is great and this location is no exception. They specialize in sweeter, calorically dense, caffeinated beverages, with their signature Moon Milk being a stand out and my usual go to. They offer varying levels of sweetness, so everyone has the opportunity to dial in the beverage to their liking. They offer all the traditional coffee house staples as well, but I haven't personally tried any of those and can't speak to their quality. Prices are comparable to other coffee chains in the area. Ambient noise level inside the cafe was low and would be a well suited location to get some work done or study, several patrons seemed to be doing so. They offer WiFi, and the Verizon 5G signal was very strong inside. This location is a part of the Tripoint complex, shared with the D.R. Semmes Family YMCA and Trinity Baptist Church. Definitely worth stopping by for your caffeine fix after a workout if you're already in the area, but probably not a location I would come to for just the coffee. Things worth knowing ahead of time: They offer a drive through in you're in a hurry or stopping by on your way to work. Their restrooms are located just outside of the cafe area and shared by the church they share the building with.
