If you're anything like me, I've been through Castroville and into Hondo, and in both towns I've…read morehad the same thought: "This town needs a good coffee shop". Hondo...forget it. But if you're in or around Castroville - I'd tell you to go to Octane Coffee. Found them on Yelp this morning. They are tough to find. As a matter of fact, when I pulled up to their current location I literally said aloud in my car..."Is this a joke? - this is a winery." But after a short investigation, I did indeed find good coffee. I spent about an hour hanging out with the owner and his mother. We were the only ones in the place. They were both incredibly friendly. The Hazelnut latte I ordered was just hot enough, had four shots in it, and was very good. Plus - they had wifi :) I even bought a bag of coffee the owner recommended. I was sorry to hear the story about their current location, though. Seems they used to be "downtown Castroville", but the landlord kept raising their rent, and he could only roast his coffee beans during certain times, etc. Sad when local business are pushed out for almighty dollar.... Anyway - They moved to this current location, which, I'll be honest, is not the most convenient - but it gives the owner a chance to do his deal! Wishing them all the best! Will go back if I'm in the area...

In Castroville, one of the places I visit most has to be Magnolia Filling Station, the only true…read morecoffee shop in town. It's small, always busy, and always slinging quality coffee. The shop is made from an old gas station that was converted into a cafe. They serve pastries along with a wide range of coffee beverages. I always find myself drawn to their seasonal drinks, which are usually themed around something fun. This year's holiday menu was Ice Age themed, but I remember last year being Shrek themed, and I think there was even a Top Gun themed menu at some point over the summer. For the Ice Age menu, I got a Manny which was a Chocolate Orange Mocha drink. I got it hot and it was great! The space inside is quiet, nice, and well lit. It's a great place to get work done. In the past, I've noticed the wifi could be tragically slow, which made some tasks difficult. During my most recent visit, though, I don't recall the wifi being slow at all, so it seems like that issue has been fixed. There is also plenty of outdoor seating if you get lucky with one of the three nice weather days in San Antonio. I really like the coffee here. For such a small shop, they do a great job, and it has become an essential stop for me every time I am in Castroville. RIYL: Coffee shops that are old gas stations but do not have a functional gas pumps anymore, so you don't accidentally get gasoline instead of a latte. I hate when that happens!!

If you're looking for a meal that runs the cost of a bean & cheese taco, this isn't the place. If…read moreyou're looking for a meal that is ready in two minutes, this isn't the place. If you're looking for made-from-scratch, scrumptious food that is prepared only once ordered, this IS the place! Between the three of us we had Belgium waffles with strawberries and whipped cream; the Elise breakfast sandwich with a fried egg, arugula, tomato, avocado and cheese (black beans and crunchy fried potato cubes as sides ... hubby ate half of my potatoes they were so good); and the Elise platter with eggs, pancakes and turkey bacon. I brought half my sandwich home (with the two sides I was stuffed!) but no leftovers on the other two plates. Wiped clean! The coffee was HOT and delicious. Nothing worse than lukewarm coffee in our opinion. Steady stream of customers while we were there and while a little small in the eating area, we had no trouble finding a table.

The interior is bright and spacious and has tons of comfy and cute seating options. Staff were very nice. The drinks are way too sweet, though. Even for me; and that's saying something! I would recommend just getting a regular coffee, matcha, chai, etc. rather than trying one of the specialties. I got a lavender matcha and it was just way too much. Even my Mom's almond joy coffee was very sweet.
