Indy Coffee
This coffee shop first began as a coffee truck, serving hot and cold drinks window-side. The brick-and-mortar shop by University of Texas at San Antonio opened recently, showcasing serious creativity with a Texas-hipster vibe, cereal-milk lattes, and (of course) the classics. The baristas take their coffee seriously with cool foam designs and a perfect brew.
Local Coffee
With three locations and expansion to a fourth set to open by 2016, Local Coffee lives up to the hype. It's trendy without losing focus on the coffee beans, serving Merit Coffee (a local San Antonio roaster), Madcap, Stumptown, and more. In addition to brewing and pressing some of the best coffee in town, Local Coffee proudly serves Bakery Lorraine pastries, quiches, and cookies.
