We shared an horchata latte & we really liked it, they had so many options of syrups & specialty lattes!

It can't get any better than that! They have a few coffee options. Mostly just flavored lattes. Don't go for an actual cappuccino or anything. But if you like flavored coffees, they have seasonal as well as trending flavors. Many options.

We were seated immediately and the server took our orders in a timely manner. We didn't wait long for our food either. This large establishment offers a few outdoor seating overlooking the view of street traffic as people head onto and off the causeway. Might get sunny on a hot summer day! The interior offers plenty of seating as they have two large dining areas. They also have a display of their "fresh catch". Overall, good but not excellent seafood. I did enjoy their ceviche. The mariachi added charisma to the ambiance.

Lively coffeeshop with crepe and ice cream options, just a short walk from the beach area…read more Definitely busy but worth the 15 minute wait- they seemed a bit short staffed and everyone was hustling. We enjoyed a delicious affogato and lavender latte with the breakfast crepe that had Chipotle sauce and bacon. My only qualms were because of the rush no tables were being bussed and there were dirty plates everywhere, and any live plant I saw looked like it hadn't been watered in over a month. Several limp pothos on the brink of death- kind of a vibe killer. But I do love how many plants they have. Will be back!

Coffee and tea in and around SPI - 1 of 2…read more Finding a coffeehouse that keeps later hours on South Padre Island (SPI) is not easy ... because it's not doable. Many of the indie coffeehouses on the island keep breakfast and lunch hours. Since this Starbucks sits at such a critical junction, where the two highways to/from Brownsville and Harlingen meet, you can't help but see it in the Las Palmas Shopping Center at that corner. This is also where the free Metro shuttle connecting SPI and Port Isabel stops and where the cheap and easy bus to Brownsville Airport has its terminus to service the touristic area. Am I hung up on giving exacting directions? Perhaps. This Starbucks looks like one of the common templates in terms of its design. There's nothing wrong with that because there won't be any surprises. It's clean and comfortable inside. The food and drink are the one you've come to know, and it's now a little overpriced everywhere if you ask me. However, it's reliable. The other thing that really stood out was the service. It was quick, polite, and they were willing to provide information about the area to the best of their ability if you had basic questions. These are really nice employees, which seems to be standard in the Rio Grande Valley. I went in here a few times in the evening. Their hours on the weekends are very good, staying open in the evening. Upon inquiring, I learned they do a good business in the morning. They even keep respectable hours on weekdays. Usually I'm ho hum if I see a Starbucks as one of my choices. In this situation, on or near SPI, I was actually happy to see this Starbucks store. While not quite a mirage, it was a relief.

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed this place during our South Padre trip. We went for dinner, sat…read moreoutside, and loved being right next to the ocean. The atmosphere was fantastic, especially with the ocean breeze coming through. We ordered the steamed mussels, the grilled red snapper sandwich, and the grilled red snapper entrée. Our favorite dish was the red snapper sandwich. It tasted fresh and had more of a homestyle feel rather than something overly polished from a professional kitchen, which we really appreciated. Honestly, everything tasted fresh, comforting, and well prepared. The service was also incredible throughout the night. The only slight issue we had was spotting a cockroach crawl from under one of the chairs when we pulled it out. However, considering the restaurant is basically right on the beach and outdoors, insects are somewhat expected, and it honestly didn't take away from the experience for us. Overall, great atmosphere, great food, and a really enjoyable dinner spot in South Padre.
