    One of my favorite San Antonio coffee shops! Ceramicist and former coffee shop + specialty tea shop barista here! I didn't realize Curator doubles as a pottery shop the first time I came here, and now I'm absolutely OBSESSED with the place. I love coming in to check out the pieces up for sale while sipping on a matcha latte. The baristas are always super friendly and never fail to make an excellent cup of matcha, and the place itself has such an artistic and inspiring atmosphere that it's a great place to relax or get some work done. I highly recommend stopping by for a delicious treat and to support talented local artists! You won't be disappointed!!

    This was a cute little coffee shop I was introduced to at a Yelp Event. The ambiance of this place is very chilled and nice. They keep the place well kept and clean too. Soon as you walk in you can see a wall of pottery you can look at and even purchase if you like. The place is not just known for their coffee but they also set up painting and crafting classes (i did a paint pottery class here through yelp that was fun). They have a few seats too if you want to sit and relax with your drink. I came at a busy party of the day it seemed so didnt get to sit down. The ladies that worked at the counter was friendly and nice. They told me some recommendations on latte flavors and liked how they had milk substitutes. I ordered 2 matcha lattes with oat milk, one lavender and the other rose flavored. I liked how they flavors were subtle and didnt overpower the matcha flavor. It was very delicious and would recommend this drink or another latte they offer. It is somewhat far from where I'm at but if I happen to be around next time, I would absolutely come back.

    Curator Coffee was the perfect stop to catch up on my finances - quiet, comfortable, and welcoming. The hazelnut latte was delicious. Definitely a place I'll return to.

    Yum! Cool drinks/coffee and beautiful pottery! A Gem of a place! Staff is sooo nice! And I love talking to them!

    Ornament Clay Class

    I love their chai lattes and hot cocoa. The service is very friendly and I love looking around at all the pottery pieces. The atmosphere is very welcoming and cozy.The clay classes they offer in the evening are tons of fun and the pieces make great gifts. I've done their ornament, mug, berry bowl, and mushroom garden stake classes!

    Popped in for a quick pick me up. There was seating inside and a small table and bench outside. Seating was full around weekday lunch time. There was fresh pastries that looked delicious. Additionally there was locally made craft goods on sale. Standard drink menu was available with a variety of flavor syrups. The staff offered suggestions for popular combos. Bright space and def worth a stop if you're in the area. Prices are just above typical.

    Curator Coffee is one of my absolute favorite spots. The staff is truly the sweetest--always warm, welcoming, and down-to-earth. I love coming here not just for the drinks, but for the people too. My go-tos are the coffee and matcha (they do both so well), but honestly, I also love asking the staff to surprise me. They always come up with something fun and delicious that I wouldn't have thought to order myself. The vibe inside is adorable and super chill--like the kind of place you want to hang out in for hours. And the pottery for sale? So tempting. It's beautifully curated (of course) and gives the space such a creative, cozy feel.

    Coffee and atmosphere were great for a quick morning date. Baristas were both very nice, the music was fun and added to the experience. Loved all the pottery for sale and the little coasters were adorable. Over all a great place to stop in

    Iced lavender coffee with oat milk = 10/10. It has strong floral notes but it doesn't taste like grandma's bathroom! The matcha white chocolate macadamia cookie is also a must try! Don't get it warmed! Eat it as is. It's moist inside and has the perfect blend of flavors. The shop has plenty of seating. Good for sitting down and working or reading. The shop also showcases many pieces of ceramic art made the baristas. I ended up leaving with a cute flower holder. Excited to bring it home!

    Pistachio latte with oat milk

    They are so friendly and the coffee is amazing. I always get the pistachio latte and recently also got a bagel with cream cheese. Everything is perfect, always.

    Proof that you can create something special in a strip mall. I enjoyed my chai latte and warm banana bread today while I reconciled my January bank statements. The people were nice and cheerful.

    I got the pistachio hot latte. Cute design. It was perfectly sweetened and creamy. My friend enjoyed her iced matcha latte. The girl who took my order was nice and welcoming. The other girl making the coffees had a little attitude when we asked her for two waters. I didn't think it was much to ask but it wasn't even busy. Nice place to hangout and catch up with my friend, other people were working/ reading.

    We went today to curator coffee and ordered a caramel iced decaf latte and a honey iced coffee. Their coffee was amazing. I'm gonna say one of the best coffee shops in San Antonio. If you've never been here before you need to try it !! They sell homemade pottery, homemade dog bones and other little knickknacks. They have a book exchange the only way you can get a book is to take one and exchange it for another. It was packed no tables available so that should tell you something about this place, it's a very quiet place. There were a lot of people in there working on their computers and some doing some college homework. I do want to mention that they have these homemade pastries, some are vegan and some or not. We ordered the quiche with bacon and it was amazing.

    Overall: Such a fun spot for cheesecake!

We were able to park, but I could see it being an issue during busy times. Seating/Ambiance: The indoor area is pretty small, with just a few tables. They also have some tables outside along the side, which is nice when the weather is good. It's more of a quick dessert stop than somewhere I'd plan to hang out for a long time. Cheesecake: You can get cheesecake by the slice or in individual jars, which I thought was a cute option. They have a good variety of flavors. We tried the Turtle cheesecake and it was delicious! Rich, creamy, and definitely hit the spot. Bonus: They have a loyalty/reward where after 10 jars, you get a free jar, which is a nice incentive if you live nearby or become a regular. One suggestion: My only complaint is that I wish they had a description of what's inside each cheesecake flavor. You have to ask about the ingredients/fillings for each one, which makes it a little harder to decide when there are so many options. Everyone's very nice. You select your cheesecake & then go to the end of the counter to pay. Overall: Cute little cheesecake shop with lots of fun flavors and the option to get individual jars. Parking and seating are limited, but the cheesecake is definitely worth a visit. Would come back to try more flavors!

I tried the limited edition raspberry black sesame (6$), cookies and cream (6$) and the space in picnic? (9$, the lemon meringue, blueberry one) My favorite was the lemon meringue (9/10), then raspberry black sesame (8.7/10), then cookies and cream (6/10). The meringue was such a nice texture and the berry brightness and lemon was wonderful. The raspberry was perfectly tart in contrast with the nuttiness of the black sesame. The cookies and cream were just average to me, nothing special. Service was decent and you get to keep the jars. They have one dollar off frappes M-Thrs happy hour (3-5 i think?) I would come back to try other flavors! Makes a great gift.

We waited by the Pullman Market porch area for our tasting and they came out with mini frozen hibiscus drinks. I expected sweet, but only had tart flavors that stimulated my palette. Finally, me and my friends were taken in to a private dark room with the seats surrounding the kitchen where the magic was about to happen. The 8 course comes with 4 different flavor profiles and 1 alcoholic drink per flavor type. The most memorable profile was umami with the jerk chicken and bitter with the banana and chocolate. These two topped off as my favorites. The chocolate with my banana was the best I had ever yet. The bowl had to be picked clean. The chefs walked us through each of the dishes and explaining the story behind as well as any questions we had. We all had a blast with the tasting and would come back again.

They have a storyline to create a plot for the "dessert" creations. The pastry chefs interweave sweet, salty, sour, spicy, and umami throughout the evening AND is also paired with a drink per dish. They tell you how to eat the dish for maximum enjoyment of the desired taste experience. They do an excellent job of creativity, presentation, and combination of flavors. Such an intimate setting. After it's all done, they do part you with a BIG fortune cookie with a handwritten fortune! This is the time where you are allowed to pull your phones out. And you can also step in the kitchen area and take pics. Menu does change. I'd definitely go again!
