    banana matcha and horchata matcha
    Sia B.

    I've stopped by early bird so many times before and unfortunately I was turned away by the long line (since I was also on time constraints). Last weekend, I decided to wait in the line and it went by much faster than I thought it would. We ordered the iced cookie butter matcha with an almond croissant. This might've been one of the best almond croissants I've had too, it was flaky on the outside and soft, sweet. I'm for all things cookie butter and this one did NOT disappoint. It was a perfect balance of sweet with still that lovely matcha flavor. I went with a friend who doesn't like matcha and even he was enjoying it. The second time I went is when they were running a matcha promo that they announced on their instagram (definitely follow the there!) and so I went for my midday pickup and there was a small line of about 7 people. It went by pretty fast. We were intrigued by the horchata milk and the employee let us try a bit and we were convinced that was the one. We got the horchata matcha and the banana matcha with banana cream. I definitely loved both of them but if I had to pick a favorite, it would def be that banana matcha. Perfect balance of that real tasting banana flavor (I dislike any of the artificial fruit flavorings) with the well-balanced matcha. The employees were all super friendly as they even encouraged us to ask for modifications after we got our drinks. Overall, i'll definitely be back and I 1000% get the hype now!!

    This place really does attract all the early birds. There was a pretty long line when I arrived around 9:00 AM, but that could be because it was a Saturday morning. The ambiance was very clean, filled with leafy plants and cactus decor that gave off earthy, relaxing vibes. This place is special because of their extensive menu featuring so many unique flavors and options. For instance, they offer horchata milk as a dairy alternative, and distinctive flavors like earl grey and rosemary. I always love finding a place that serves a good London Fog. it's perfect for the morning and a fantastic option for anyone looking for a coffee alternative. I would definitely come back!

    Oh my gosh, I'm obsessed with this spot! I just moved, and I was looking for a place to grab a coffee between a meeting and an appointment. I saw the reviews and decided to pop in, and was presently surprised by this little shopping center with plenty of parking! The inside of the shop is beautiful with great lighting, and there's a surprising amount of seating. There's also ample outdoor seating. I ordered an earl grey latte and a tomato rosemary cream danish. My food and drink were prepared quickly, and brought to my table. The latte was the perfect balance of sweetness and herbal flavor. The danish was absolutely delicious!! Flavorful, warm, and the perfect texture. I will definitely be back here!

    This is easily the best coffee place in San Antonio. My wife and I always get our coffee here. The service is fast, so you don't have to wait too long. The shop has plenty of space; it gets crowded sometimes, but the customer flow is always continuously moving. I feel like we come here at least once or twice a week. Hopefully, because they have so many customers, they can lower their prices a bit. Lower prices might even bring them more business! Overall, this place is so good.

    Great place for matcha! Plenty of seats to sit and enjoy your sips. Service was quick since we went early morning.

    Pastries

    The pastries all looked so good. 2nd time trying this place. Berry Danish was soooo good and had like a berry filling that was delicious. It was flaky and a little messy but I'd definitely get it again. Also tried the cookie butter latte iced, half sweet, which was good, but not the best. I'd want to try a different latte next time. I'd rate the danish a 10/10, and the coffee a 7/10

    This was a cute little spot. The service was quick and friendly. I also got a blueberry muffin that was yummy. My coffee was a little bitter, but I think that's more my preference on the coffee bean than anything. The coffee was beautiful and the interior was super clean and minimalist. I'm visiting the area but I enjoyed seeing that locals were meeting for coffee with friends and working from the coffee shop. A great mix.

    Brown butter pumpkin perfection.

    This coffee shop is tucked away in a corner of Huebner Oaks shopping center. It gets busy. There have been several times where I've opted out because you can see how busy it is inside. I did make it on very early one morning and the vibe was peaceful and relaxing. I definitely got my Zen before merging into the morning traffic. I ordered a brown butter pumpkin latte (yes, I'm very late writing this, as this was a seasonal offering I believe) and a cortado. It was before 7 am and I needed the sustenance to go vote. The coffee was nothing short of amazing. The brown butter pumpkin was smooth, creamy, and full of warning spices. The cortado was well balanced and a perfect addition to cut the sweetness of the pumpkin drink. I also thought it was extremely thoughtful that, although my cortado, took a bit to make, the barrista advised that she was having trouble getting a good steam and brought it out once she got it right. And it was perfect. We tried coming in before heading out of town one day, but it was so busy and we were so short on time, we ended up stopping at a coffee cart that was set up down the street. It definitely didn't meet the mark that Early Bird set for me. I'll have to pop in again before my workday starts.

    This places gets so busy!!! Keep that in mind if you are wanting to camp out and get some work done. I got the matcha with oat milk which was pretty expensive and I wasn't super impressed. The baked goods looked beautiful but I was told they were just okay. Good location and really nice people though!

    Place is a little small but there's lots of seating outside as well. We were thankfully able to snag a small table to seat myself, my husband, my toddler, and park our baby's carrier. The line was long and drinks took some time but they were fantastic! I had the iced cookie butter latte with cookie butter cold foam, my husband had an iced banana latte with banana cold foam, and my toddler had a vanilla oatmilk babyccino. Everyone loved their drinks! We'll definitely be back next time we're in San Antonio!

    Very good coffee and great syrup & milk options. Delicious matcha options too. On a weekday at 9:30am, it was incredibly packed. The line moved at a snails pace and then after we ordered we had to wait about 10 more minutes. I enjoyed the drink quite a bit, but I'd suggest going on a day off or when you aren't on a timed schedule, because we ended up being late to work. The tables were all taken with people camping out with computers, so there wasn't anywhere to sit and wait for our order. The person who took our order was incredibly nice and patient with the large crowd. The baristas were quiet and focused trying to get the drinks out as quickly as they could. The pricing is the only thing that might have me skipping this place for another coffee shop. You are looking at $9-10 for a single drink before the tip. Very steep compared to other local shops.

    Great little coffee shop in a mall that has some great tenants...

    It's great to see "Early Bird Coffee" land in a permanent home after years of serving customers from their food truck near REI. They've brought the same passion and quality to this new space--and elevated it even further. Huebner Oaks has had its ups and downs over the years, but with strong anchors like REI and Old Navy, and now the new Trader Joe's, this destination is clearly going to be on everyone's list of places to go. Early Bird picked the perfect time and place to plant roots. Tucked in the back with easy, free parking, the café has a clean, modern design, a comfortable indoor space, and a charming patio that invites you to linger. The vibe is European espresso bar meets San Antonio cool... complete with skilled baristas who take their craft seriously. (See pic) The cappuccino was nicely crafted, a tough drink to get right, and the blueberry scone hit that rare balance: not too sweet, not too crumbly. Perfect match with the not too sweet cappuccino. Super friendly management and engaging servers. Brought order to table... After years of being a local favorite on wheels, Early Bird Coffee has found a great spot to put down roots. This will definitely be my go-to coffee spot in the new, revived Huebner Oaks scene.

    Nice coffee shop! They have a full coffee menu and also serve alcoholic drinks, wine and beer. The…read morewhite mocha espresso blended drink was delicious! The interior is nice, with a lot of seating. Pretty crowded on a Sunday afternoon but we were able to sit at some bar stools at their large table. Seemed like a comfortable place to study, maybe not the most quiet but a cute place. It looked to have a nice patio also but it was too cold when we went! Will be back!

    The vibes are where Archie's shines…read more Former coffee shop and specialty tea shop barista here! Drive by a place enough and your curiosity will be piqued. I FINALLY made the trip in and it was a mixed bag. The interior of this place is super sleek and has two registers: one for coffee, the other for CBD products. The baristas were chill, there's ample room for study groups, and with the quiet atmosphere I think it'd be a great place to focus and get work done. I ordered the Honey Lavender Matcha with Almond Milk, and I can't say I was all that impressed. The matcha was muddied by the other flavors, but even those flavors were indiscernible. I ended up taking off the lid to inspect the drink and sure enough, you could tell by the color of the drink as well that there wasn't enough matcha. There was barely any Lavender flavor, and there was only a hint of Honey at best. Truly it tasted like warm almond milk with a subtle hint of a weird mix of muddled flavors. At least the sweetness of the Honey cut any potential bitterness and it wasn't too grassy? Even if this drink wasn't a hit, this place is too cool for me to just write off. I'd like to return to see about another menu item and hopefully stay for a while longer next time. For now, I'll give Archie's 3 Stars for the drink and 5 Stars for service and establishment.
