    I came in for a quick drink at about 9:50 AM on Friday. This place is fairly large for a coffee shop, I counted about 25 customers... definitely a good place to bring your laptop, study, or socialize. It did take about 10 minutes from the time that I placed my order until I received my drink. The barista was very patient with me and explained the different coffee beans that they had available. It was only my second time here, but I've had a pleasant experience both times. I'll definitely be back to try their other coffee beans.

    Happened to be in the area so I stopped in for a drink. Ordered up my coffee and it came out quickly. It was fresh and tasty. The location is big inside, lots of people hanging out working. Friendly staff. Good place for a coffee.

    Banana latte with cinnamon and oat milk

    My bestie gave me a Bright giftcard for my bday! My first time trying it out! The space is so interesting! Nice, open space with tables and comfy chairs to come and WFH or just relax with a book! The service was exceptional! I asked for recommendations and decided to try the banana latte with cinnamon, oat milk, iced. Very unique but yummy flavor! The space is located near some cute antique shops but parking was a bit tricky. Definitely worth the trip and I will be back!

    My cup of tea was presenting so nicely--I enjoyed pouring the tea into the small ceramic cup and adding honey from the tiny pitcher, then stirring it with the tiny golden spoon and resting it on the ceramic cat. I need to take my granddaughter here. She's 11 and will love it.

    Banana milk latte

    I can't tell you how much I love the banana milk latte. I never even get past it on the menu before I blurt that out in my order. I've sampled the latte, the cappuccino, the cortado, but the banana milk latte is my love affair. Thank you, Bright baristas for being so amazing, and for making this available. Also, the place gets super busy so it is sometimes tough to find a seat, which speaks to the great ambiance.

    Tried a seasonal drink. I love trying coffee shops latest drinks. I got the kissin Kate it was a sparkling americano with peach syrup. So light and refreshing it really highlighted the espresso. They often have changing art on the walls from everyday artists. The space is bright with a lot of natural lighting and plants. There were a lot of people just enjoying the space doing crochet and crafts. There are plenty of places to check out in the area aswell.

    Banana latte & that pastry was
    Milli M.

    I love this spot, never knew it was here till I got invited by a friend. It's very peaceful & relaxing. The pastry was so fresh & worth the price! Everyone is super welcoming, you can plug your computer/charger, whatever you need to study at peace. I'll definitely be returning.

    Vanilla Latte

    Dropped in to handle some finances and ordered a four-shot vanilla latte. Great service. Parking remains subpar, but the ambiance at Bright Coffee makes it worth the effort.

    Winter special
    Darian C.

    Cute shop with yummy coffee, perfect for studying and hanging out! I got one of their winter specials which was really good (I forgot what it was called but it was a pun on ferrero rocher) There are plenty of seats but it fills up around 2 hours after they open. I like the little gallery they have and they also have a lot of natural lighting coming in.

    This is a really neat coffee spot with a huge interior and a variety of places to sit inside. There were quite a few people in there studying though the atmosphere was somewhat loud so it may be a good idea to bring headphones. There were some couches, table and chairs, and bar seating. Cool menu with some Asian inspired coffees, small art display in the back. Would go again

    The coffee was good! The coffee flavor was not overpowered by the milk. You can taste the beans! The employees are very friendly and welcoming. The merch is really cute. I like their logo. I didn't buy it this time, but I will definitely check it out next time! The space inside was really open and had nice, big windows! There are not that many tables available for studying, mainly couches and small tables for catching up. We went on a Saturday morning around 11 am, and there weren't many seats available. The whole right side of the store was an art gallery. So you can peruse the artwork while you are waiting for your order or sipping on your coffee.

    So eagerly I have been waiting to try Bright Coffee, waiting for the right moment to pop up. I happened to escape work early before the Thanksgiving holiday break and decided this was my chance. I expected it to be spacious, but it felt quite grand. Bright is an adequate name for the cafe, but I would say it also felt airy and peaceful. The vibes were pleasant with various groups chatting and others working away at their laptops. The barista heartily welcomed me. I REALLY wanted to try a holiday beverage, but since it had taken me so long to visit I decided on their popular banana milk latte. I'm glad the flavor was lighter than banana milk that comes in a carton. I just wished I could taste more coffee. I would love to come back here and hang out for a while. Next time I will try another drink and ask for an extra shot. I'm looking forward to it!

    Black sesame latte & tequila almond croissant
    Jen H.

    Absolutely loved this coffee shop! The decor, drinks, and food are terrific, and everyone was so friendly. The black sesame latte was yummy, but I think I'll stick to a coffee drink next time I visit. I also wanted to try a butter croissant, but they were sold out, so I settled for the next best thing--a tequila almond croissant, which is on the sweeter side. I think the sweet plus sweeter combo of the black sesame latte and the tequila almond croissant wasn't the most complimentary, so I hope the plain butter croissant isn't sold out next time I visit. I got lucky with a parking spot right out front, but I do imagine parking to be somewhat of a hassle if there are no open spots nearby.

    Calid service by expert baristas who tell you more about the coffee beans you are experiencing. One of the best coffee shops in San Antonio!

    The staff was impeccable they waited on us hand and foot. They were quick and patient. Every single…read moreperson working here came and thanked us for coming out. The food was DELICIOUS! we couldn't have had a better experience anywhere. The coffee was to die for and we were sad we weren't taking up the opportunity for mimosas! The space was smaller inside and shaded outside so on a Sunday morning it was perfect. If you're ever around give this place a try. It was an amazing time!

    After seeing Candlelight Pour House on numerous social media sites, I wanted to visit!…read more My parents and I stopped in on a Saturday morning around 10:45AM. We were told it would be a 30 minute wait and we could wait in the outdoor seating area. I didn't mind the wait but was hoping to order mimosas for while we waited BUT they don't allow that. Once we were finally seated, it was a table in direct sun at the kitchen entrance so we asked to move tables. They said it wasn't as easy as just moving us because we had already been assigned to our table through the ordering system. The use toast tan so you don't have a server and order everything on your own through an app (drinks, refills, meals, etc). I personally didn't like the system at all. The servers that delivered the food and drinks were very friendly but I can imagine the system isn't easy on them either. It took almost an hour for our food to come out and we had to ask that our order be checked on. Once requested, they brought it out (I think it had been sitting there and they forgot to bring it out). We ordered the following: - Orange mimosa: Tasted like straight juice - Apricot mimosa: Tasted like straight juice - Bloody Mary: Very good. Interesting that they use a wine based vodka for this - BLT: No condiments on the sandwich, very dry and not very tasty. Served with chips that tasted like they had been left out for days. - Turkey Club: Also very dry and the bacon was over cooked. Served with the same chips as above. - Candlelight Breakfast: The flavors were good but the food itself was cold. I would've usually request the issue be fixed but I was so hungry from the long wait. We all agreed we would never return and wouldn't order anything again except for the Bloody Mary.
