I came here for the first time for the hot Matcha summer event put on by Yelp and I definitely think this is one of my go to spots for Matcha now! I had the mango Matcha, which was a specialty for the event and it was so delicious. The atmosphere is very warm and friendly with the seating area that has a giant bookshelf, which makes it feel very cozy. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying the rest of their menu items and bringing a book to read and relax. read more

Poetic Republic Coffee - Mango Matcha 10/10 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This is such a cute place, it's so peaceful. I came in around 12:30PM on a Friday. There were a few people seated all over the coffee shop. They have plenty of seating options. Made for smaller gatherings of 2/3. But I came with colleagues and we were a group of 5. We have to pull two tables together. I was greeted by a friendly barista. I ordered the Toasted Coconut Latte made decaf. It was soo good, you can really taste the coconut flavor. I opted out for the cold foam due to being dairy-free. My drink was made quickly and was placed at the pick up station for me. I will come back to try more of their summer seasonal drinks read more

If you are looking for a cute coffee shop and love poem this place is your spot! When arriving you are greeted with a warm welcome and since I was new to the spot they explained to me what their specials were. My boyfriend ordered the Down to Earth as I got The Optimistic. Although they were both yummy the Optimistic was my fav! I would definitely be going again read more

Having been in San Antonio for a couple of days, we believed that there is no real coffee scene but poetic Republic Coffee changed our opinion. This charming and welcoming coffee shop offers the most delicious drip coffee and variety of drinks as well as delicious muffins and pastries. The two women working behind the counter couldn't be nicer or more knowledgeable. So glad to see that a genuine coffee shop exists in San Antonio. read more

An exciting update: over the 2024 holidays, Poetic Republic installed a new oven for heating food that warms each item thoroughly and quickly! It's perfect, and works so fast, they had the (very tasty) Breakfast Sandwich (my fave) to me before even the cappuccino (another fave!) was ready. I used to have to wait as much as 15 minutes for a food item to get thoroughly warmed, and now the espresso and food arrive at nearly the same time! Happy New Year, Poetic Republic! read more

The service is impeccable and attentive. The cafe is cute and quaint. I love the vide. The pistachio lemon bar is absolutely amazing and must try! They have good amount of street parking and a lot across the street. They have a decent amount of indoor seating as well. read more

Cute small little cafe. Worth a stop if you are in the area. Coffee was delicious. Staff was very nice.

Came here to do some work. It's hard to find a cute coffee shop on the southside but this is closer to downtown so I guess it was a compromise. The location itself is along Presa and parking can be an issue but I came when it wasn't too packed so I found a spot up front. Hope you know how to parallel park The space is a vibe itself. There's plenty of tables to sit and don't worry, if you're trying to get work done there is plenty of outlets!! If you'd like a quiet space, this ain't the place for you. Their music is a bit loud IMO but just bring your AirPods and you'll be good. Unless you have a meeting, this ain't the place for you. Now onto the coffee....if that's why you're reading I can't help you there. Coffee is coffee - it was good! I got the brown sugar cinnamon latte. I liked it! Hope this helps! read more

I wish this magical coffee shop had more operational hours, because coming at 7pm on the quiet street for Silent Book Club was truly a wonderful experience. This year is the first year I have actually tried reading poetry and to go to Poetic Republic was a beautiful end cap to that. My latte was excellent. The ambiance is so cozy and service was great. Highly recommend! read more

My first time here! Definitely gives you all the cute, earthy, chill vibes! It's SO cute inside! It was actually busy when I got there, most of the tables were full with people chitchatting which I actually enjoy seeing! I got the iced lavender iced coffee, I recommend but it's not for the weak because it's a bit strong lol! The baked goods are a must, they have a Nutella swirl bread and ughhhhhh you have to pair it with your coffee. Don't forget to toast it I'm coming more often for sure! OH and the playlist is fireeeeeeeeeee! read more

30+ minute wait for 2 hot coffees. I observe orders placed after mine being made first. I ask about it and in a very dismissive tone I'm told, "you're next". Super long wait accompanied with poor customer service is very disappointing. read more

This is a cute little coffee shop that serves great coffee and would be a great spot to do work. I got the Pumpkin It Up, which is a PSL that isn't too sweet and instead highlights the great coffee that they serve. The baristas are super friendly and welcoming, and not only take your order but also make the drinks. The interior is decorated cozily and was accented with Halloween decor, which really made the place even cozier. There is a parking lot across from the street from the coffee shop if you can't find street parking in front. I'll definitely be back for more coffee soon! read more

Poetic Republic Coffee - Pumpkin it up (16oz) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Standard coffee offerings, made in-house. Staff is always friendly. Nothing stands out but I can also appreciate sticking to basics and pumping out solid coffee instead of what's popular and overly sweet. Unlike a lot of coffee spots, especially non-chains, this place is small and set-up like what I'd consider to be a "traditional" coffee house versus a study center or hangout spot. With that said, tables are small and you won't be able to have (2) laptops open if visiting with someone. Also, the area fills up fast. Wi-Fi is super fast and makes for a spot to take a break in the middle of the day, knock out a couple emails and be on your way. read more

This is such a cute and cozy coffee spot, and I would love to come back. The staff was incredibly friendly, and I really enjoyed my coffee. Unfortunately, my partner didn't like his cortado--but to be fair, he's quite the coffee snob! read more

First time trying this coffee house and I'm glad I did. I'm not much of a person to try new coffee but their iced brown sugar latte was with the try. Nice and quiet once you walk in, employees were super friendly. Definitely will come back when in that area. read more

The absolute BEST strawberry matcha in all of San Antonio. The matcha is extremely smooth and tastes amazing. However, if you're not a fan of sweeter matcha it probably won't be your favorite but it's the best in my opinion. Really calm and relaxing environment and the staff is extremely friendly and sociable. It's my top 3 coffee shops in all San Antonio. The only downside is the parking, but it has nothing to do with Poetic itself. I really really recommend Poetic if you're looking for a new coffee spot! (The image attached was of a latte they recommended me to try and it was extremely good but I can't remember what it was) read more

This was a very clean, spacious, and well utilized space. Not only is this place a coffee shop, it's a bookstore, and record store all in one. They have nothing but good vibes with a clean aesthetic. They have a large seating area and wifi to get all your work needs done. The coffee is made well. Beans are not over cooked, they clean their machine after every use, and well organized behind the counter. I would check them out if you are ever in Jackson. read more

The coffee and atmosphere is good. Cashiers and servers are nice and patient. My gripe is the hidden fees. For example, they have a drink called the Scout. Espresso, milk, chocolate, coconut, plus (your choice of milk.) But guess what, when you choose your choices mini, they charge an extra .75... so now they are more expensive than Starbucks. Why say plus your choice of milk and then not disclosure the extra cost. I don't appreciate businesses that add costs that should be included. For this reason, I won't be back. I have referred people to this business but will no longer get do so. Plus if a person is lactose intolerant, they are being charged extra for having that disability if you think about it. Lactose free alternatives are not that expensive for them to charge almost a dollar for. Especially when the sign gives the impression that it's included. read more

This place is equal parts warm/inviting and incredible coffee. We tried several items including their Brown Sugar Latte (espresso, cinnamon & brown sugar) and Gingerbread Latte. The baristas were friendly and knowledgeable, and answered our most basic questions about lattes with grace and no judgement. The space itself is ideal to catch up with a friend or spend some time reading from the adorable library. There is a plenty of seating in their new addition, so it feels safe during a pandemic! Pro tip: Get the Brown Sugar Latt read more

I needed good Latte for my day, and I'm glad that I came here. I enjoyed my Latte, and also the friendly service. The ambiance was nice and cozy. Even though I was alone, I felt comfortable staying by myself. They have special donuts on only Saturdays, and I was lucky to come here on that specific day. Unfortunately I was too full to eat them, but I couldn't just ignore them. I got three to-go donuts; blueberry, churro chocolate, and lime margarita. I'm excited to try them tomorrow as my breakfast. It's a bit far from my home, but I'll definitely be back when I'm around this area. read more

My husband and I love this cafe so much! The place is very cozy and intimate. I don't really recommend going with a group of more than 4. This is more for studying, date night, get lost in books, or enjoying time to yourself. The staff is great when it comes to service! They always play comforting music and give amazing recommendations if you're ever feeling unsure on what to order. Also your order comes out at a decent time. You never have to wait long. Also the place has usual pop ups and small markets that can catch your eye. I love my iced chai lattes, they know how to make it perfectly! Also they have a good range of alternative milks. Also has great places to eat a snack! Overall, I love coming here and supporting a cozy local place! read more
