Brown Coffee

Wonderful coffee made by a very knowledgeable and friendly barrista in a warm but unpretentious shop. Brown coffee is located in an up and coming area across from The Pearl. There coffee was tasty and strong but smooth and palatable all the same. The ONLY REASON I didn't give it a full five stars is my loyalty and addiction to another coffee shop. That being said, if that other shop wasn't in my life........

Great coffee—true to intent. Pensive vibes, knowledgable barista, Slayer machine. A go-to 3rd wave for San Antonio. If it wasn’t for the burlap and decal wall decor I’d think I was back on the west coast. Would’ve docked one star for being a little too rigid about iced lattes, but they made up for it in customer service.

They put the fat whisky ice cubes in the iced coffee! (To not dilute it.) Cute small place, solid flavorful coffee that is not burnt. Park at the free Pearl parking across the street and walk over! It was very quiet at 3pm and would be a great place to chill and get work done. There's a small selection of pastries and the coffee leans heavy into espresso drinks.

One of, if not, the best coffees in San Antonio, no joke. I've never been a person to drink black coffee, but their coffee is a completely different animal, and has made me a full on black coffee drinker. It deserves much praise, and recognition, not only for the coffee, but also for their wonderful, friendly, and very knowledgeable staff. I do plan on getting all the equipment to be able to make this coffee at home some day, and all my coffee will be coming from Brown. Please give this place a try if you enjoy, or even love coffee, you won't regret it!

Gotta revise my review, was 5 stars, now 4, because putting a shot of espresso on a piece of ice is apparently too much to ask. This is still my favorite place to get coffee in San Antonio, but it makes it difficult to bring others who may be more casual in their coffee preferences with me. My old review: Best coffee in San Antonio, they never fail to impress.
