    Mango matcha
    Tasia G.

    Stopped in on a Saturday morning (10:30 am) and it was THICK in there. Line almost to the door when I walked in lol I ordered the mango matcha with oatmilk and waited maybe 10 mins for it to be prepared, which isn't bad for the crowd. Mango and matcha go great together and this drink definitely showcased that. Not too sweet, not too bitter. Will be back again whenever I'm in the area and have some time to spare.

    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!!

    Iced latte

    I have been here twice and they do not disappoint. I've had their strawberry matcha and an iced latte. A lot of places do not know how to prepare match properly but this place does! It is a cute atmosphere and awesome customer service. They can have a bit of a wait on weekends but usually they make the drinks quick.

    Cookie Butter Latte & Strawberry Matcha
    Dustin C.

    The Cookie Butter Iced Latte (with whole milk) had the perfect balance of coffee and sweetness. It wasn't overly sweet and you could still taste the coffee which I appreciated. The strawberry matcha with horchata was also really good and for sure one of the better matchas that I have tried. Their almond butter croissant is a must grab as well! Overall, friendly fast service and a great ambiance.

    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.

    Cookie butter iced latte and banana iced latte

    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!

    Iced Horchata Chai

    This coffee shop was a wonderful find! The service was exceptional, and the staff took the time to make thoughtful recommendations. I especially appreciated that they asked about my chai preferences, such as whether I wanted it spicier or creamier, which made the experience feel personalized. You can tell they make their flavors in-house because everything tasted fresh and well-crafted. I ordered the iced horchata chai and a strawberry lemonade refresher, and both were absolutely delicious. The almond croissant was also tasty. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with plenty of seating options. There are indoor and outdoor tables that are perfect for small groups, as well as a comfortable couch area for relaxing. Between the great drinks, delicious pastries, and friendly service, this is definitely a spot I'll be returning to.

    Brown butter pumpkin perfection.
    Kristina B.

    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.

    pastry and matcha (why is it spilling )
    Amanda L.

    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!

    My go to drink is an iced strawberry matcha with the horchata milk. sweet and yummy combination

    Meg F.

    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...
    Jamie W.

    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.
