First coffee in San Antonio and I'm so glad we discovered this spot. We met the owner, Ken, and Victoria who were awesome! Victoria gave us the local insider info on all things food and attractions. Their espresso is amazing in terms of flavor and quality. We ordered shots over ice with almond milk and caramel, a more basic order, and then a pour over. There's indoor and outdoor seating, but the vibes inside are immaculate. There's chill music and air conditioning, a good start to a long day. We will return!

Nice flavourful coffee not the burnt bean espresso sorts that’s available elsewhere in more “famous “ places. We loved it.

Not only is the decor and architecture stunning, the sense of community gained by a coffee spot and barbershop collared is exceptional! A really classy spot with delicious coffee, and friendly staff even early in the morning, a stop well worth your time for “to go” or to sit and stay a minute.

Love this coffee shop! As other reviewers stated it can be hard to spot from the street, but so worth it! Coffee was wonderful and we had such a great time chatting with one of the employees (possibly owner?) Thanks so much for your friendliness and for the bonus espresso! Really enjoyed it and would absolutely come back!

Wow! We saw hand drawn signs for coffee in downtown and followed them to the cutest cafe. Such a hidden gem. Victor was personable and helped us order our faves. The patio is perfect for people watching and inside us something out of a magazine. Would recommend 100%. Alternative milks available.

This place is amazing and the staff is extremely friendly. Ran into one of the owners who was covering the bar, Ken, who was very welcoming and gave his disclaimer about not being an experienced barista...but the drinks turned out perfect haha
