Brown Coffee creates the best standard cup of coffee in town. Even among other coffee shops they are considered the standard of quality. The newer Southtown location is spacious and modern. Youll find lots of seating and people of all ages on laptops or chatting. Think a modern Central Perk without Smelly Cat. Street parking may be difficult but youll find it because Brown is worth it.
I love coming to Brown Coffee Co. The coffee and snacks are delicious. Definitely get their cold brew! It is full of flavor and will give you a kick you did not expect! This isnt a milkshake shop like the one with the mermaid everyone goes to. Come here for flavorful coffee and some interesting takes on it. I really enjoy their lime cold brew surprisingly. I even got a couple of bottles to take home. The last thing is the staff. They are super friendly and always happy to make a recommendation on what to get and serve you with a smile. They are amazing. Tip them well!
Has house-made chocolate syrup. Very good. Asked for espresso shot and was presented with options describing notes and consistencies of different options. I had the one that combines 3 single-origin coffees and it was very nice and pleasant. Served with sparing water. The mocha latte I also got was nice. Not too sweet, but still flavorful to where I could taste the coffee and the chocolate. Very pleasant experience with great, friendly and knowledgeable staff.
I just have to say that I have come to love Brown Coffee. I have spent long periods of time working from here. I am a teacher and this is the place I am most productive. It is always quiet and the staff is super friendly. I know that some times I stay for a long time, but I have to say the reason is because of the environment here. It is so chill and reminds me of grad school! Also a plus that the coffee is amazing and brewed in house.
All the necessities and nice atmosphere! Fair prices. Purchased the Cortave and it’s the perfect amount of sweetness! Only thing is that my mom wanted cream and they only have milk. She still enjoyed her drink though!
This is a super nice place to be in but the only disappointment was the guy in the front, that looks kinda bald had a bad attitude. Quote on quote, when I asked for a Chi Latte which is a typical item in a coffee shop. He said sarcastically “only have coffee and probably the Coca-Cola”. It could have been put a different way. It’s a nice place but treatment could have been better.
When you walk in, the scent of freshly roasted coffee fills your lungs with morning bliss. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and contemporary.The coffee? Well let’s just say I can’t get enough, a must visit
Are you kidding me. Brown is #1 for coffee connoisseurs in San Antonio. Aaron Blanco has created not only a great atmosphere, but he sources the most awesome beans, then roast them to the right level for each bean. He has cultivated a most educated staff that makes every client feel they are the only one. I highly recommend Brown Coffee Co.
A nice little small business coffee shop thats peaceful to be at. The atmosphere is chill and modern with a natural vibe to it, I guess because the plants and picked out pillows. The menu may initially seem small but its what you need because even though options are great, simplicity is nice; even there add on and substitutes are small and simple. I highly recommend it! 🙂
This is a great place to meet people for social or work reasons. Theres comfy seats for reading, tables for working, big windows looking out over the shared courtyard outside, and delicious espresso to fuel whatever youre there for. There is a decent amount of street parking outside, but theres also a paid public lot immediately to the south of the building that Brown will validate tickets for.
Love this coffee shop! They are very careful to prepare and serve their drinks in whatever way brings out the best of the beans. Love that they serve espressos with stirring spoons and sparkling water. I always make a stop here when Im in San Antonio.
Brown Coffee has a really neat atmosphere and tasty coffee. I had the cold brew “neat” and it was delicious! It was served in a chilled glass so there was no ice to water it down. They had lots of outdoor seating too. A great place to check out!
Ive been coming here for the last 6 months or so. The coffee is good not great. Prices are on the higher side. Barista personality/attitude can be hit or miss. Never been blown away by the service. Menu for coffee and breakfast snacks is very limited. Im here once a week and will update this review if things change one way or the other.
A delicious 3rd (4th?) wave coffee shop, Brown delivers some of the best coffee one can get in the United States. Their beans are generally direct trade from the coffee growers, and you can get them whole or brewed how you want them.They are my first stop when I get into town, and my last before leaving again.
This place is stupendous! These people are some of the most friendly employees Ive ever come across, the merchandise is eclectic, and the atmosphere is nothing short of bright and warm! The furniture added to the coffee houses upscale environment. The quality of Brown Coffee Cos service is matched only with its food and coffee. Ill be going all the way across town just to go again! With an additionally beautiful view of the Tower of the Americas, my visit with my sisters will soon be followed by another.
Visited from out of town to remote work, and this spot was perfect. Coffee tasted so smooth, plus the environment was quieter and more spacious than other shops we visited during the trip. Great for some caffeine and productivity!
Great location, spacious, and range of seating options. There are many plants throughout, which is nice. So many outlets!! Such a great place to get work done or hang out. The coffee menu is pretty limited, but it is delicious.
I was unsure about parking, but was told you can park in the designated paid Public Parking lot next door,, and they will validate your parking after your purchase. Inside was a nice calm inviting feel, and the coffee was excellent. I will try it again in the future.
Great little coffee stop! Very cute and chill environment. Friendly staff. Quick service. Fun way the coffee is served (cup, ice, etc). Loved the cold brew, it is delicious! Definitely will return, and recommend!
Super knowledgeable and friendly. The baristas knew exactly what they were talking about and made great recommendations. The coffee was wonderfully brewed. Also very relaxing vibes with quite a few tables for working. Definitely recommend!
Really good drip coffee and a great atmosphere to do work. There are also restaurants and small shops with all kind of food nearby. Perfect spot if you want a place to do work all day.
Just the best coffee. I learned so much about the drink from this place years ago. I experienced flavors I didnt know could come from stained water.
Best coffee in town. I like the flavor of the Americano coffee there, pastries are awesome and staff is very friendly and professional. Great place to relax and chat with friends.I highly recommend this coffee shop .
A nice quiet place to study with a coffee and a snack on any morning. They really are passionate about their coffee, and have a ton of coffee making paraphernalia to satisfy the many many ways people enjoy their coffee these days. Fantastic beans, as well. I enjoyed my dirty cold brew, which was their cold brew sweetened and creamed. The fresh blueberry muffin was enjoyable as well, and the other farm to table snacks were tempting.
Great little shop we found on Google. Very tasty food and the coffee was perfect especially for National Coffee Day. Will visit here again.
Great experience simple menu! ❤️Delicious choices for pastries and sandwiches
Espresso is spectacular. Honestly the best I’ve ever had. Popped in one evening to relax and this did the trick. Great decor and lighting too!
Staff is extremely friendly, coffee is super good! Love the vibe. Will be back soon!
Cute spot! Visiting from out of town and feels welcoming. More cold brew options than iced lattes but still great coffee! Noreen is so helpful and bows the menu well.
This place is very chill and cute. Very nonchalant baristas, ha! Cold brew on tap. No half and half, kind of a bummer. Got a cute sticker tho! ☺️
Loved it! Great coffee and even better service. After I got done sipping my Americano I just had to go back and get some beans to bring home. 5 stars for sure!
Delicious coffee, wonderful atmosphere for reading and hanging out with friends, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. One of my favorites in San Antonio.
First time coming and they are super nice/great ambiance. highly recommend for the coffee lovers 💖☀️
Great vibe; lots of seating and natural light. Drinks selection only limited to coffees.
Honestly the best cold brew I’ve had in a while; I’ve been here 3 times to come back for it
On vacation here in San Antonio and came around twice because it was so good. The coffee was very good and is real house-roasted coffee. The shop has great indoor and outdoor seating as well.
Absolutely fantastic pour over of a very good Brazilian. Will be coming again!
Very good cold brew! I like that theres a big ice cube in it. My drink was served to me in a boba style cup, that was also neat :)
Awesome spot....awesome service...awesome coffee. Whats more to say. Ya gotta come check this place out!
Absolutely delicious coffee. Friendly staff and vibe.
Expert knowledge of their craft and willing to educate. Nice relaxed urban vibe. Most importantly, great coffee
The wife and I wanted to try Cinnaholic, which we did, but we were drawn inside this coffee shop (it was also advertised next door). Little did we know we were going to be treated with such great customer service. We walked in and we were not sure what to get at first, but the barista helped us choose something that we would individually like which was extremely helpful and something you rarely come across in the food service industry.With a beautiful open concept and great seating, this place was great for us and our 5 month old.Highly recommend!!
Love the craft coffee before a hectic work day! Definitely recommend for downtown visitors!
Great lattes and pastries. Staff is always nice and will even bring the order outside to me when I bring my dog along!
Love this place, it is always down to earth and the best coffee. Been drinking their coffee for 8 or so years. The best!
Perfect location for perfect coffee. Their menu includes all of the essentials, so you’re in luck. Check it out!
The coffee here is amazing the barista really knows what she is doing! Milk was steamed to perfection and the shot was very creamy and well balanced
Good coffee and service, but now that theyve put in pay-to-park, Ill probably only go back if street parking is available. It validates if you stay less than just 90 minutes, and then I had to wait ten minutes to get out of the parking lot because the machine malfunctioned. Its too bad that whoever owns the land has decided to milk cash out of the parking. There are other coffee shops downtown that dont have the same hassle, and Ill be going to them as my first stop from now on.
Very kind! A very nice place to study. A intimate and quiet environment!
Great storefront. Super friendly staff. Delicious cold brew
Cortave with oat milk was perfect 😌. Lots of seating and chill vibe.
Staying by the riverwalk and was glad that I ventured a little to the South to find this place. I like my coffee and it was worth the walk. You will also find some very good restaurants in the same area.
Really yummy bacon quiche (warmed up!) and chocolate latte! Definitely visit this place! ☺️☺️☺️
Delicious cappuccino, tasty light bites, serene atmosphere. Highly recommend this espresso bar.
Brown and Tonic on Tap! Best coffee in San Antonio. It’s really not too hipster-y which is good. Good space to read.
Nice and clean coffee shop. A little pricey compared to other spots around town. Shots of espresso were pulled with medium roast beans. I could taste the fruity notes in it, but prefer a darker roast bean for espresso. I was told they don’t ever use dark roast for any espresso or coffee drinks.Overall, if you are looking for a quiet place to sit and study, and don’t mind the higher prices than this is the spot for you.
They have ice, milk, and espresso but no iced latte. Got a hot latte and was good. Few items on menu and only have simple sugar and chocolate as flavorings. Good atmosphere and lots of space.
Great atmosphere, nice staff, and good cold brew. If you’re in Southtown and you wanna grab a quick coffee this is a good spot.
Delicious cold brew served in a chilled glass 🤗 plus very friendly, knowledgeable baristas, can’t wait to come back
Great coffee, some bakery items and sandwiches also available.
This San Antonio coffee mainstay in Southtown is always worth the trip. Tuesday is roast day and the beans come from all over the world to be prepared and brewed. My last visit, the coffee was prepared via a pourover flask which is performance art itself, and the Brazilian beans promising hints of tobacco did not disappoint. (An olfactory hit of my dads stogies i remember growing up.) Nice digs. Jalapeño kolaches that wake you up even more. Outside seating available. And parking validating for the adjacent lot. Your coffee buds will thank you.
Beautiful vibes and very helpful staff. One of the best coffee shops I have been in!
Cool locally owned coffee shop. Friendly staff.
The atmosphere is impeccable and the staff patient and knowledgeable on our First visit. The coffee alone is worth 5 stars
The shop has a cool vibe and the staff were very welcoming. I’ll definitely be back
Great study/hang out spot! Staff is super friendly. I ended up staying for so long that they brought out some pour-over samples for my study group to keep us going. I will definitely be back!
Coffee was exceptionally good, very smooth taste, made exactly how I ordered it! Would definitely come back.
Matt was so kind, helpful, friendly, and joyful to be around. Delicious coffee, clean and nice establishment, marvelous conversation. Very worthwhile!
Love this place! I’ve been going for years. Try the cold brew dirty in the summer and cortaves in the fall.
The barista was nice and welcoming; not to mention the coffee was godly.
Love the environment! Great prices and coffee!
Great atmosphere! Good coffee
Enjoyed the atmosphere and service!! Great coffee and great people :)
Great staff and great coffee! On a hot day it’s really cool inside and trendy
Good coffee. Recommend the cold brew.
Cute shop. Indoor and outdoor seating. Smooth coffee. Worth a try
Great ascetic, amazing coffee and our barista Matt was so kind and knowledgeable. Definitely the highlight of our visit.
Excellent latte. Milk is creamy, steamed to perfection. Espresso is smooth but bold, which I love. A must try for quality espresso drinks.
Great atmosphere and amazing service. Coffee was really good.
