Cool diamond art displayed throughout store space, a compost bin, and area of their specialized coffee for sale. I appreciated their menu of coffee varieties, breakfast/lunch menu, and home made pastries. But, especially was thankful and grateful that any of their special coffee menu items could be made decaffeinated. Thank you so much!! I can only tolerate decaf. I chose Spanish Romance decaf, sub with coconut milk. Absolutely delicious! Not too sweet and loved the chocolate, hazelnut, and coconut notes. My friend ordered a blueberry scone- all pastries made in house and was packed with blueberries. Next time I'm in the area, I'll definitely stop in!

The fact that you can get the "Fall Coffee Flight collection" hot OR iced is a game-changer for unpredictable Texas weather. The coffee flight is served in cute small glasses, making it perfect to sample a bit of everything. The four flavors are, Sweater Weather, Cinderella, Pumpkin Maple, and Blueberry Coffee Cake. Incredibly balanced, smooth, and full of Autumn flavor without being overly sweet. Their cookie and cinnamon roll, was top tier. Absolutely loved that the baked goods are made fresh in-house. The owner does come up with the best drink concepts, and she can seriously bake! She was very informative about their products, and the staff was warm and friendly. Come and show them some luv and try them out!

It was smooth, vibrant, and had a rich matcha flavor without being overly sweet. If you're picky about your matcha, this is definitely worth trying. The shop has a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere and is located inside Triumph Church. It's a cozy spot to relax, work, or meet up with friends, and everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming. If you're looking for a quality matcha or a great local coffee shop, I'd definitely recommend stopping by Tend Coffee. I'll definitely be back!

Pandan is often described as the "vanilla of Southeast Asia" with a fragrant, mildly sweet taste, featuring strong notes of coconut, vanilla, and toasted almond. Price point wise, it is pricier, but their coffee and matcha are pretty top tier! Definitely a place like this a treat!! Excited to try more seasonal flavors!!

FIRST TIME VISIT!…read more Walked in on a whim after a bday dinner for the hubby at the Texas Roadhouse. I was in search of a sweet treat to celebrate at home and boy, was I ever in for a treat! THE LOCATION: in a bustling and popular shopping center with tons of parking, and other fun businesses, right off the 1604 in the Alamo Ranch area. I have no idea what to expect so I just burst thru the doors like I owned the joint ready to embrace something new. THE MENU: aside from some lovely beverages, the dessert offerings are pretty straightforward. CHEESECAKE!!! And in the best possible, gourmet, decadent way. My eyes were popping out of my head! THE SERVICE: Lucky for me, a very patient gentleman behind the counter was available to assist me during a lull. I'm very grateful for the time he took to answer all my questions. THE GOODS: I knew I wanted cheesecake tonight, but after watching those sweet treats watching me right back through a shield of glass, I understood that I NEEDED cheesecake, and stat! While there were sooo many flavors available in the jars, I wanted to eat cheesecake the traditional way; with a fork to slowly dissect and discover the flavors and texture of each layer. By all appearances, these treats are not your average cheesecake and I'm so intrigued. I choose one slice of each flavor available. At $9 per slice, I'm lucky there were only 3 flavors at this hour. Lol! The jars, btw, are $7 each. Now, I had to ask what ingredients were in each flavor becs there is no written description anywhere in the store. The names do no justice in identifying what you're getting either. Names like "Summer Daze" and "Midnight Berry" leave much to the imagination. Sure, you can see chocolate and/or raspberries, but believe me... you don't really know what treasure you've got until it's melting on your tongue. I can't get home quick enough to meet up with the hubby again. Yayyyyyy! Dessert!!! THE TASTES: Heaven. Nirvana. Jack standing at the bow, arms stretched wide shouting, "I'm the king of the world!" That. That's what it's like. And I literally dissected and analyzed each lovely layer, mostly fluffy, decadent mousse, creamy, cheesy and rich. The crust bottoms. Holy smokes! I actually avoid graham cracker crusts but not this one. A-MAZING. Another slice had a crisp shortbread-like crust. Like, WHO DOES THAT?! Omg. I gorged until I regretted rushing in. Total amateur move. I also secretly selected 2 of the 3 slices that I knew my hubby would turn his nose up to. HAHAHAHAHA! Joke's on him. Trust me. Seriously, trust me. If you love cheesecake, mousse, fresh and tart fruit flavors (like fresh fruits and lemon curd!), give a slice or jar a try. And try a lovely match drink, too. Maybe I'll see you there!

We waltzed right in and were immediately greeted warmly. The staff were so patient, didn't hover/make you feel pressured, and answered all of our questions. While it may seem a bit pricey, it's actually not bad cuz you get to keep the glass jar ($7/ jar). my youngest loved her cheesecake & she doesn't even like cheesecake. My eldest loved her matcha.

The churros are also always amazing, their country and sugar on the outside with a soft interior. If you come here, the first thing you should ask for is the Mexican burger, because they are so meaty and thick and juicy and amazing that they tend to sell out pretty fast. That would be by far my favorite thing on the menu. You should know they are also very accommodating to large groups if you're looking for somewhere to have a get together.

It's a different kind of feeling, watching someone you look up be fed to the canvas. MMA is not like a normal sport where you can always do some mental gymnastics and hang onto a "the refs stole that game" or "one bounce different and we win that..." No. You have to sit there and watch one of your heroes seemingly lifeless on the canvas. Every time you open Instagram you have to watch it again. Anyways, I needed a pick me up and knew they meant business when the lady at the counter had one of those McDonalds like headsets on. Even though we were the only ones in the place, she was ready for battle. Stay ready so you don't have to get ready. As I was waiting for my 24oz cold brew ($4.95) to help me through the 5 stages of grief, I took in my surroundings: It's almost like a corporate office trying to cosplay as a coffee shop. It's what I imagine a coffee shop at the Meta "campus" would look like. There was even a little conference room with 3 flat screen TVs hung on the wall. Super interesting. I still don't know how to feel about it... would be a great place to work out of though. Cold brew was solid and did its job in getting me through the 4th stage of grief. THANK YOU BEANS & BREW!
