    By the people that run Comfort Cafe and the sweet Serenity non-profit organization. As it is at Comfort Cafe, all the employees here are part of the recovery program. Customer service is wonderful. Extremely welcoming, love the decor in here. Very brightly painted colorful, smiling cakes and pastries. Plus they have a lot of mineral and healing things for sale, suggested donation prices. Things like angel bars, tarot, sage for smudging, other metaphysical, spiritual goodies. Tried the Chai Tea Latte, which was on the set side- even for me, who adds something like 4 sugars to my drinks- that might have been on me for not asking about it ahead of time though. The rocks and minerals, not going to deny how tempting they were, especially the rainbow colored ones, but unfortunately didn't bring enough cash with me. They are cash only, again like Comfort Cafe. Highly recommended place to stop by and hang out though! They even offer crepes, which I unfortunately did not have the stomach for since I had walked over from Comfort Cafe minutes before. Next time! P.S. Always nice to have free wifi. Password? SweetSerenity111.

    I used to go to Comfort Cafe at the old location frequently. I haven't been to this new location nor to the coffee shop. I called kind of late and the kindest person told me to drive to them it is all ok I can still pick up pastries. They were cleaning when I arrived and still they all stopped and gave me the attention. We all had a good chat for over 15 minutes while I was looking around and taking pictures. They are super friendly and hospitable! It is a really cute cafe! I didn't want to hold them up I just got a dubai chocolate brownie. I had cash on me but I did read somewhere cash only and donation based

    All the goodies

    My dear AXO sister, Sallie, and sister in Christ and I celebrate each other's birthdays. Grateful for her. We had brunch @comfortcafesatx today. We also stopped by @sweetserenitycoffeehouse to check out the new bakery. Very nicely decorated and welcoming. i bought Lemon Blueberry Scones for tomorrow's breakfast.

    Great new Coffee Shop offering Fresh Lemonade in flavors like Strawberry Basil and Lavender. Matchas Strawberry and Lavender, Lattes, pastries, Self Love cakes, custom order cakes for any occasion and a peaceful place to relax and meet up with a friend. So many great, eye-catching options. Part of Comfort Cafe, cash only.

    Delish and, of course, super friendly. They have trendy and traditional pastries, nice amount of season for a coffee stop. They even had a play kitchen for the littles. Definitely recommend. Would go back again and again.

    Large Vietnamese Coffee

    Sweet Serenity is related to the well known Comfort Cafe. Both are part of the Serenity Star Recovery organization. The taste of the large Vietnamese coffee was good! Notes of bold coffee laced with a sweet cream. A perfect balance and refreshing for a South Central Texas day!! The staff are friendly and remind me of Comfort Cafe. Several spots to chill out and have a drink or sweet treat! Great vibes. Be sure to check out their drinks and desserts menu! They are open Thursdays to Sundays. Great desserts and drinks for a great cause!!

The outside doesn't scream coffee shop , in fact it's kind of an "IYKYK" type places because it's right in plain sight and I passed it for awhile before knowing what it was. Thanks to the San Antonio coffee fb group for all of the recommendations! They have a pretty expansive menu as well as plenty of delicious looking baked goods ! They have some cbd options too but I didn't try any of those. I tried the iced texas Star - flavorful and great espresso flavor. I do wish they used smaller ice cubes so the drink would last just a tiny bit longer. I also tried their chocolate croissant. Good, but would've been better warmed up! I don't remember if they offered that. My friend had the matcha and she loved it. They recently got a new matcha and she was worried because she loved the other one but was pleasantly surprised how smooth and delicious this one was as well. I definitely need to go back and try their matcha as well as other menu items because everything sounds so good. 1 star taken off because it is very hard to navigate with a stroller which is a bummer because I know tons of moms that love to venture out and find new coffee shops. On the plus side, clean restrooms with a changing table which is hard to come by!

The coffee was smooth, and the staff worked well as a team. They were attentive and knowledgeable about both the menu and the restaurant's history. We learned that the restaurant is run by a chef duo and that their baker starts around 4 a.m. preparing the day's baked goods. We ordered the Yolkster and the Dirty South. The Yolkster showed solid technique. The hollandaise was glossy, properly emulsified and balanced between richness and acidity. The over-easy egg released a perfectly fluid yolk, while the scratch-made English muffin was nicely browned and crisp outside with a tender interior. The bacon was a little overdone for me, but the chicken sausage was a pleasant surprise with a nice balance of acid and salt. The Dirty South looks heavy when it arrives, but the dish comes together surprisingly well. The sausage gravy was one of the better versions I've had in a while. Good consistency, proper color, plenty of sausage and none of the raw or scorched flour taste that can ruin a gravy. The biscuit was dense but fully cooked with visible layers. The potatoes could have used more exterior crispness. The pico brought a welcome freshness and acidity that cut through the richness of the gravy, biscuit, egg and cheese. A little more would have helped maintain that balance throughout the dish. What impressed me most was the technique behind all that personality. Scratch-made breads, properly cooked eggs, a well-made hollandaise and carefully prepared sausage gravy show a kitchen paying attention to the fundamentals. I left curious about the rest of the menu. Next time, I'm trying the pancakes.

My sister and I stopped by Merit so I can try and rate the cortado for my silly little cortado review series. I also ordered the Purple Haze Latte and a poptart (courtesy of Bakery Lorraine). The cortado was surprisingly good. I say surprisingly because normally Merit's coffee is too fruity (and a bit funky) for me, but this was bold and right and made my ears tingle. Nice and creamy, and not watery. A very top notch standard cortado. The purple haze tasted like relaxing on the beach. It even had little bits of dried ube on top, like a little purple sandy beach. I'm pretty glad Merit's making me re-think their beans. That cortado is something I still think about, even though it's been about a month since my visit.

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!!
