The woman who answered said Yes we are! Later she told us after we ordered that we could go to a large area upstairs and have our coffees and our pet was welcome They even had pet treats everywhere. Such a cure pet friendly cafe They apparently have a church service on Sunday afternoon Unfortunately we didn't stay but had giant yummy coffees and fresh designed pastries and a nice visit with our pet and a quick goodbye to our friend Ambassador is located on the back side of the shopping center upstairs Right next to the handy dandy elevator.

I originally planned to order an iced jasmine tea, but I took the recommendation and tried a Strawberry Matcha - my very first one ever. It was absolutely delicious: perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, and exactly what I didn't know I was craving. Safe to say it won't be my last.

I loved the matcha. The rosemary and lavender syrup is lovely with the perfect balance of herbal and sweet. The matcha is nice and creamy but not overly sweet. The coffee is pretty solid, not as sweet as some other places which is nice. It's not overly watery either. The lemon curd pastry was fantastic; nice sugary crisp and super flakey and buttery. The lemon curd itself is a smidge overwhelming in tartness but still delicious overall. The cinnamon croissant was my least favorite because it was a bit dry inside. I think they would also benefit from having prices next to the pastries. Service was great still! We went at 8:30 on a Saturday and there was a decent amount of people but we didn't have to wait super long. I was really impressed with the matcha and it's definitely up there in the SATX matcha scene.

I was on the hunt for a cozy spot to read a few chapters when I stumbled across Medina River Coffee. Tucked away in a small shopping center, it's easy to overlook--but don't make that mistake. The vibe is dark and moody in the best way: cozy, calm, and perfect for settling in with a book or getting some work done. My favorite feature was the counter seating along the front window. I claimed a little corner seat where I could soak up some natural light, sip my coffee, and happily disappear into my book. Even with several people inside, it never felt noisy or distracting. The baristas were incredibly friendly and took the time to walk me through their menu and offer recommendations. I ended up ordering the Coco- Ro-Dachio iced latte (coconut, chocolate, and pistachio) and asked for it to be less sweet. They absolutely nailed it--it was smooth, balanced, and let all the flavors shine without tasting like dessert in a cup. I also loved seeing the variety of coffee beans for their different coffees. If you're into trying different coffees, you'll have plenty of options to explore. Prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality and size of the drink. The only minor downside is that parking can be a little tight since it's in a smaller shopping center. On the plus side, they're open until 8 p.m., which makes it a great option whether you're looking for a morning pick-me-up or an evening coffee break. If you're searching for a coffee shop with excellent drinks, friendly baristas, and a peaceful atmosphere to read, work, or simply unwind, Medina River Coffee is absolutely worth checking out.

Thank you Jando CM for the incredible Yelp recommendation …read more My fave place this year! It was also rated top 10 bakery Cafe according to USA today . Came on a Saturday at 2pm for some tortas . I can see why it has such good reviews.Service was so friendly and helpful. No lie .That was the best lentil soup I have ever had and I don't even like lentils.It was served perfectly hot with small bits of onion and carrots with a delicious not overly salted broth. I would drive another 3 hours just for that soup! The grilled chicken torta was sooo good . It had smashed avocado lime mash with greens and Swiss cheese. Minus the mayo for me and I could not stop eating it. The Mexican sourdough was so good that we went back and ordered 4 rolls to take home to Htown with us. Lightly toasted on outside with a soft center. Perfection! Cappuccino came out steaming hot with cute decorated heart motif. Good balance of milk and expresso. Easy to get to location with plenty of parking.Line moved fast and food came out quickly. Will absolutely return when back in town.

Bexar's Best Belgian Sweets! A little slice of Belgium here…read morein San Antonio. This place is located in a strip shopping center off Huebner. Stepping in, you know that it's legit. Check out all the gilded frames, antique oil paintings, and fancy furniture! This is such a great place to come and relax, hang out and admire the decorations, and enjoy decadent Belgian food. The Belgian waffles are handmade there. They're so good that they could eaten dry, but why do that when they offer Nutella or strawberries. The mousse has been a long favorite of mine. It's rich, smooth, creamy, fulfilling. My only complaint about this place is that they only offer Neuhaus Chocolate as their sole Belgian chocolate. There's so many good ones, but I wish they'd offer Leonidas. It's worth mentioning that the imported Belgian chocolates are the only things that they're serving that they didn't make there on site.

The matcha had a rich, earthy flavor, and the light sea salt cream on top added the perfect touch without making it overly sweet.

The café was clean, the staff was friendly, and despite being busy, the service was quick.

She really kept the place clean, organized, and running smoothly, even when it was busy. Since she left, though, the cleanliness and orderliness have been pretty inconsistent. The staff still tries their best, but during busy times, the cafe and even the restrooms can definitely use more attention. On our recent visit, we redeemed a free 8-inch chocolate mouse cake with our points. I pre-ordered it Friday for Saturday morning and noted that it was for a birthday. I arrived 10 minutes early, but still had to wait another 15 minutes just for the oval "Happy Birthday" sign. I figured ordering ahead meant everything would be ready. The cake was still good, and we continue to enjoy their pastries and baked goods. Just taking off one star because we really miss how clean, organized, and well-managed this place used to be. We definitely miss that Filipina manager!
