While in the area I wanted to find a place to sit down, chill, and get some writing done. I found…read moreEightball Coffee pop up on my Yelp app as a spot that offered just that. Upon walking in the vibes here were just sweet. I noticed some of the vintage Spurs throwback analog clock and some really cool artwork on the walls as well. I knew I walked into the right place for my writing time. I was welcomed as soon as I walked in and up to the counter. The menu is listed on the wall on the right, behind the bar, and there is seasonal one in addition to their regular menu on the counter. Since it was my first time I relied on the barista to make a recommendation based off of what they have that is popular and what they would recommend for a first timer. Coco Cajeta espresso on ice was the recommendation I took and the drink I had, and honestly I couldn't have been more pleased. Their syrups are all made in house and they have at least 5 of them that I can recall that includes lavender and your heavy hitters like caramel and vanilla. But that coco cajeta is where it is at. I found a seat at one of the booths and noticed the other coffee drinkers around me were in deep conversations and catching up with their friends. I saw some folks reading here too and just chilling. Parking wasn't a big deal for me as they have a small lot off to the side of the space. I saw plenty of street (free) parking as well so you should come thru. I even saw a food truck outside as well. I want to say they sell bagels but I came through in the early afternoon and they were already closed.

Stopped by on a Sunday morning. I brought my dog, Bucky, with me because I incorrectly assumed…read moreEightball was a coffee truck or trailer, and not a brick and mortar. Whoopsie. Regardless, staff said it was fine for me to bring him inside as long as he didn't make a mess. Fortunately, Bucky is house trained. It was a nice opportunity to socialize him more, though. So while I thought Eightball was a truck, there was an airstream parked outside which sold bagels. There are neat picnic tables between the building and airstream, and the inside is small but accommodating. I ordered the cortado and a coco cajeta latte. Staff was very nice, one of them even gave Bucky some attention and pets, which he loved. The cortado is priced lower than most, and even though it was served to-go I didn't get any of that paper cup flavor. It had an interesting pecan/pecan pie adjacent flavor. Maybe I'm finally starting to get the hang of tasting notes. Or maybe not. I give it a B rating. I mistook the Coco part of Coco Cajeta - I thought it was Coco as in Cocoa, but it was Coco as in Coconut. The surprise was pleasant, though as it tasted very much like a mounds or almond joy. Lots of coffee drinks with coconut toe the line between Samoa and Sunblock and this one was firmly Samoa. It gets an A+ from me. Their music taste is within my wheelhouse of preferences, too. It felt like listening to the XMU station on Sirius XM radio.

Bright, with all of its windows and natural light, is well, bright during the day. The staff is really excellent here, just like at NoFi, being super friendly and welcoming. My girlfriend grabbed their Ube Latte while I opted for the Banana Milk Latte, which I had never heard of before and which was super fun to try. It's a super unique flavor for a latte but excellent. I've had many different fruits in my coffee, from blueberries to oranges, but I have never considered bananas to be in the range of opportunities. Bright has opened my third eye to this concept. All their house-made beans from Perdido are top-tier. They also had really cute espresso and pour-over Comfort Color shirts that I had to grab while I was visiting. I also really love the subtle smiley face they add to all their hot to-go cups. There's plenty of space between each seat inside Bright so it never feels crowded even when it's packed. There's also tons of locally-made art on the wall, which really makes Bright exist like a piece of the community. They are hands-down one of the best coffee shops in the area and worth going out of your way for if you don't have time for NoFi. RIYL: Minion coffee

There is a Syrian girl at the counter and many others who are always helpful polite and pleasant to have a chat with The coffee and tea I give thumbs up but the pastries and desserts definitely are not my cup of tea!

And of course, plenty parking. I didn't know what to try so the Barista suggested the Banana Hojica after telling her what I like. She was very informative to what I ordered and made it to my liking on the sweet level. AND omgahhhhh it was so good, I couldn't stop sipping it! I think with each sip I was trying to see what I didn't like about it but didn't find nothing but joy to my taste buds! Hojica is like a reddish brownish matcha which tastes more earthy rather than grassy like green matcha. It ACTUALLY is good and I think Karma Coffee is the ONLY ones in town to have it! I'd day that itself really sets them apart the coffee trailers amongst the city. Service was really fast even with 10 people in line and the ladies were really sweet!

I brought Bucky with me, too, and he was a popular little man. Apparently they have specials whenever the Spurs win a playoff game, hence the extra long lines that day. That's super cool that they support our team and show such local pride that way! Anyhoodle, instead of ordering a cortado and a signature latte, I decided to just order the peanut butter mocha with banana cold foam. What a dream. If you're into decadent coffee drinks that are more like desserts/treats, you need to try this version of a chunky monkey. As always, the staff are some of the nicest people you'll ever come across.
