Always fantastic! The consistency, ambiance, service, and food quality make this place a winner!

In my two-star review of Cappy's, I was particularly critical of the food, which I considered uninspired, underseasoned, outdated, and overpriced. Paradoxically, its less acclaimed, less expensive sister restaurant next door, Cappyccino's, succeeds where Cappy's stumbles, with a concise menu of colorful, creative, full-flavored dishes. You won't find Prime-graded steaks, U10 diver scallops, or trendy cooking techniques at Cappyccino's, only salads, soups, burgers, and pizzas prepared with finesse, a feat for an open kitchen the size of a broom closet. I've never been a soup aficionado, but consider me a fan of the rich, wholesome cups and bowls at Cappyccino's. On a recent visit, my waitress tempted me with a Korean pork soup du jour with house-made kimchi and slow-braised pork shoulder. The thick, perfectly seasoned broth tasted strongly of marrow, the shoulder meat rivaled the moksal I've sampled at Korean restaurants, and the kimchi provided a crisp, sour, pungent kick that complemented but didn't overpower the broth. My only regret is that I ordered a cup instead of a bowl. Burgers are a hit as well, my favorite featuring an antelope patty sourced from Broken Arrow Ranch, a reputable supplier based in Ingram, Texas. Antelope is extremely lean and can go from moist to dry in a matter of seconds, so I was pleased that the kitchen honored my request for a medium-rare patty. Any gaminess present in the South Texas antelope, or Nilgai, was cut by a dollop of smokey, savory tomato bacon jam. The slightly sweet buns are soft but sturdy enough to retain the juices from the meat and toppings. The burger is fine on its own, so I suggest discarding the accompanying vegetation, namely the boring shredded iceberg, overpowering raw purple onion, and pale, mealy tomato slices. All burgers come with a choice of potato salad, house-cut potato chips, or a generously portioned house salad with a creamy citrus dressing, tortilla strips, and cotija cheese. The tiny brick oven in the heart of the kitchen bakes a delicious rectangular pizza/flatbread available in several iterations, including a traditional Margherita and a "3 Little Pigs" pie with bacon, boar sausage, and speck. The poblano shrimp pizza won me over with ten medium-sized Gulf shrimp, Jack cheese, cilantro, red onion, and thin slices of roasted poblanos. The dough tasted proofed, as evidenced the airy, tender internal crust that held its own against the weight of the toppings. Fish tacos are a cliched vestige of 90's hipster haute cuisine, but Cappyccino's treats them with reverence. A lesser restaurant might include frozen tilapia, but Cappy Lawton and company use fresh drum sourced from the Gulf. The thick, moist corn tortillas are undoubtedly homemade with a robust masa flavor. Given the constraints of the kitchen, the tortillas likely come from La Fonda on Main, the third restaurant in the Cappy's family. The fish is lightly fried and topped with a crispy slaw, a bright tomatillo-avocado salsa, and a squirt of chipotle aioli for creaminess. My only complaint is that two tacos is not enough; I could devour four easily. Desserts include a passable sticky toffee pudding, a comforting chocolate sheet cake with fudge icing, and a selection of homemade crepes. Try as I might, I cannot order anything other than the comforting black forest crepe; the promise of bing cherries and creamy milk chocolate folded into warm crepes is simply too alluring. At $6, it's also a great value. Service can be hit or miss depending on the time of day. Arrive for an early dinner and expect attentive waitstaff, but drop by during the lunch or dinner rush and expect long stretches between courses and overwhelmed, overworked servers. This is undoubtedly a management issue, as the servers perform admirably under the conditions. Adjust your expectations accordingly and your patience will be duly rewarded by a tasty meal at a reasonable price. read more

This is my 2nd favorite place to hang out in Alamo Heights. I call it the after hours party of Cappy's. They have a different menu, but same Excellent foot and service. Wonderful drinks too. Please try the hot toddy if you're in during the colder weather, you will NOT be disappointed. read more

Service is wonderful. Food came very fast, although that could've been because they weren't too busy. Don't get a salad. Waste of $14. There's not much to them-- the chicken is those little cubes and the portion is a bit small. Cute atmosphere, definitely leans more heavily on the sandwich side. There's plenty of seating. I've heard parking might get hard on a busier day, but we were able to park in the back lot no problem. There are a few cute shops around, so if you have time to knock around, I'd recommend exploring. read more

Great great great great great great great great great great! Can't say it enough! Try it you'll love it!

Cappyccino's is one of our favorite places for a casual meal and good food. The atmosphere is fun and festive and their axis burger is the best. read more

Have to say the parking and the wait slightly dampered my experience. Small joint with couple seating is nice, service was great food...not so much. I had the turkey breast with cranberry dressing and chips. Chips were cold and stale, the Turkey breast may have come from the Central Market next door, cranberry didnt taste like it should, very sweet. My partner took on the grilled ham and cheese with the tomato soup. She enjoyed it, but commented that it wasn't anything special that couldn't have come from WDs down the street and parking would have been better. Overall, just a bar turned into a lunch spot that you can easily pass by if there is no parking. read more

Food 5 stars Other servers and employees 5 stars. The waitress we had how ever was extremely rude and snapped at me to get my attention and waved a menu in my face. I then only gave her a $2 tip because she was rude. I should have given her $0 because she slammed the card reader down and said $2?! Nice!" I would have given her $8-15 for mediocre service so maybe check your attitude next time lady and you wouldn't have been stiffed. read more

Can't recommend this place enough! Great spot for a weekday lunch - fast, quality, and the price is great. If you are in the Alamo Heights area you need to check it out. My Order: lunch combo - Ruben sandwich with a cup of pozole read more

Cappyccino's - Cheesy Potato Chips - New American Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

My husband and I love to dine at Cappycino's. They have wonderful drink and food options to satisfy most any customer. For dinner, they offer soups, flatbread pizzas, and to-die-for burgers. I think their best option is the Broken Arrow Antelope Burger with tomato-bacon jam. Burgers and sandwiches you can have with potato chips, potato salad, or house salad which comes with ranch dressing. Personally, I prefer their vinaigrette. If you want a hearty meal, steer clear of the fish tacos. They're good but served with the tiniest piece (yes, singular) of drum. Another good option is the Southwest Cobb salad but be warned it's dressed with ranch as well and it's not noted on menu. The dessert menu is noteworthy with several crepe options. My personal favorite is the Cinnamon Sugar. Creative, delicious, and some boozy coffee options are the perfect complement. read more

Had a terrible experience with the service of the restaurant. Started with the cold cup of coffee I was served and was multiplied by the fact that my wife's order was served to her and was informed at that time that the entree I ordered was sold out. read more

I never thought I could obsess over a soup/chili but hot damn the white chili was giving me life! This chili bowl is a perfect balance of healthy with a dash of treat yo self with the ample amount of jack cheese they top the bowl with. The white chili comes in two sizes but I opted for the smaller one. BIG MISTAKE. I should've gotten the larger size. The seasoning was great and it's definitely some solid comfort food. Cappyccino's menu is American comfort food situated in a relaxed dining environment. This is the sister restaurant of Cappy's without the fine dining nuance. They have a great cocktail menu here and their signature drinks are fun! They also have cheese bread that's made with their focaccia bread. We also grabbed their hummus dish which hit the spot as well. read more

Excellent neighborhood restaurant/bar. Great for lunch. Not a huge menu selection, but the right mix of soups, salads and sandwiches among other things. The White Bean Nachos are awesome but be warned, it's a large portion. I had the Turkey Club with guacamole and it was very good. Perfect as a combo with the potato salad (half/half). The potato salad was some of the best I've ever had. Mustard based but not overpowering and tastes like they just made it. Wait staff was very professional and friendly. read more

Nice atmosphere. Great coffee. Enjoyed sitting out on the patio in the beautiful weather.

This is a great little place to grab a bite to eat for dinner or brunch. They have a quaint little area and a bar for seating as well. Their portion sizes are pretty decent so depending on how hungry you are, you can share some dishes. They have a pretty good selection of bar options as well. I like the ham and cheese with basil. It is a warm ham and cheese sandwich and the basil just puts it over the top. My husband likes their reubens. read more

Super slow service. Not veggie friendly. And no internet service? You're a coffee shop! Seriously, not worth the trip.

Love this place. Been going here for years. The burgers are delicious and the homemade potato chips they come with are wonderful. Definitely recommend getting a crêpe too, the cinnamon sugar one is my favorite. read more

All I can say is EXCELLENT! Excellent! Excellent!! Food was amazing, price was very fair, wait staff was really nice, and cooks were pretty fast! Even with a full house in a Friday night. read more

Absolutely love their Reuben....beg my wife to stop here whenever we can. Love that they serve it with a side. Sometimes she'll just eat the Caesar side salad and order brussel sprouts from Cappy's if they are not too busy. They have a great selection of cocktails and sandwiches/pizzas to choose from. Located right on Broadway so they are close to where we live. Great for lunch or dinner. Brunch on the weekends. Parking is right on the street and there is a lot behind as well. read more

Good spot for a casual lunch. I went for lunch with my coworkers. Parking could be limited during the busy hours. Luckily we got parking relatively quickly for a Friday lunch. There were open tables so we were self seated immediately. I had the soup and sandwich lunch combo. I chose the soup of the day (cream of sweet potato and potatoe with pork) and a chicken salad sandwich. The combos come with chips. Portions are decent and the sandwiches are good. The soup was a bit salty but flavorful. My coworker said that the pozole soup is addictive there. A lot of older people come here for the healthier choices of fruit and salad dishes. Best part of this spot is they have a bakery right next door. Fresh baked goods! Save room for dessert! read more

I love the mock tails and nachos at this place. Perfect happy hour with friends. Nachos are perfect for 2 to split.

I've been searching for the right word to describe cappycinos for some time now. I found it. The word is tired. This is no spontaneous review. I've been going here for years for a reason. I enjoyed it. That said, the last four or five times have been very poor. Service has been on the downturn for quite some time now. Even beyond that is the food quality. The menu has not changed in a very long time. There is one special usually and then the same repeats the rest of the way. The quality of those repeats just keeps going down. It's almost like they are not trying anymore. It used to be a more casual place to visit than cappys, which is amazing. It used to be a great neighborhood spot that used to be a consistent good time. For the price I expect more these days and sadly I may not go back. read more

Lunch in the Alamo Heights area? This is always a top suggestion because of these three reasons: 1. Totally reasonable prices ($10-15 range) 2. Booze and coffee available 3. Food is good with several vegetarian options My favorite thing on the menu is the veggie burger. It's covered in sautéed mushrooms and you can get it with their house made chips - definitely choose those over the potato salad. Ask for a side of the tomatillo sauce or the creamy guac to lift the burger to another level. If you are imbibing, there is an extensive drink menu with lots of options. They also list their spirits and they have Blanton's Bourbon (heeey girl heeeey!) The nonalcoholic drinks are great too, so everyone has options to enjoy! read more

Service was great! The food was just ok. They seemed very busy but made sure to acknowledge us as soon as our party walked in. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. read more

I shared the shrimp, spinach and artichoke quesadilla and oriental salad with a friend. I didn't care for the quesadilla much. The shrimp tasted a bit fishy. However, the oriental salad was amazing. I also tried the homemade ginger ale. The ginger ale was probably the best I've ever had. I'll be coming back for sure. read more

This is a great spot for lunch or happy hour after work. They offer a smaller menu, but the offerings are pretty diverse. They have a wonderful turkey sandwich and their house made potato chips and homemade ranch dressing are to die for! They also have a wood burning oven and delicious sour dough pizzas. I have also had their Elk burger several times and it does not disappoint. They offer a full bar and made mean after dinner drinks. We love stopping in after a movie on a dare night for a quick drink without all the hassle of a traditional bar. There is ample seating and the ambiance it casual yet intimate. If you haven't been here before, definitely check it out. You wont be disappointed. read more

This little nook of a restaurant is such a nice spot. Atmosphere was pleasant. Waitress was extremely insightful and kind. The food was the BOMB, no other way of putting it haha. We tried the white nachos, 3 piggies pizza, and my fav the Rueben. Also had the Summer Frozé, which had a nice light peachy flavor. Will be eating here again, but only after I try their sister restaurant, Cappy's, right next door. Gave 4 stars only because I wish there were more options. read more

Absolutely terrific neighborhood bar with pub grub. Small friendly very helpful staff of charming folk. Bar drinks are first rate. This is not a place to go for the house exotic "lullu badullu" cocktail invented by the bartender last week. They stick to the standards - but the bar is solidly stocked, and execution is excellent. A plus that is especially helpful for a bar selling "standard repetoire" mixed drinks ... a full printed multi-page menu of everything they can mix and everything the bar stocks. This is totally useful. Why doesn't everyplace do this???????? The food menu is small but high quality. A good selection of desserts for late night (plus the bar is open late to justify going there for desserts - a big positive in a town where off the Riverwalk they often roll up the sidewalks at 9 pm. It is tough to find snacks and dessert in San Antonio late at night.) and the desserts are interesting and solid. (they do a lot of crepes). there is a lively array of appetizers (good to have drinks with) - and a decent selection of burgers and sandwiches. i am a particular fan of their white chili (and they "chicken-based chili concoctions a number of ways). they also try to have something rotating and odd on the menu to keep interest. (recently it was a brie and peach sandwich). AND they keep the TV at one end of the restaurant ... so you can have a classy place to dine and converse in the remaining 85% of the establishment. Overall - this is a superior version of a Chili's style place with a smaller menu but better execution. It certainly has WAY more soul than Chili's. Thumbs up. read more

It's ironic to note that I ate here recently with my running partner and the meal went as follows: 1 Large order White Bean Nachos 1 Shrimp and Spinach Quesadilla 1 Poblano Shrimp Sandwich 1 Real Ale Lost Gold IPA 1 Bud Light Yes, two ladies who have run marathons together ordered that spread. And dominated most of it. Every bite was delicious and totally worth the hours of working out that will follow burning the calories. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and taken to our table (or in this case - booth) and given water and menus. The waiter was friendly and attentive but didn't hover over and get in the way of our catching up. He showed us some highlights of the menu and told us about the different beers on tap. We placed that order above and got our food hot, cheesy and totally tasty. We sat and talked and munched and enjoyed the setting. Great music plays in the background. The space manages to feel both intimate and also like you have a fun party there. And the service is top-notch. It was so great, I returned a few days later for a business lunch and had a similar experience. They're doing a great job; check 'em out but make sure you check your diet at the door! read more
