    Avocado toast
    Fernanda F.

    Southwest Elixirs is a such a cute little gem near the downtown area! This amazing local gem specializes in foods that are actually good for your body and help you through your wellness journey. They specialize in smoothies, juices and more of "breakfast/brunch" items. All of their menu items are made with fresh and organic ingredients. I recently stopped by for a work meeting and I had an amazing experience. For my first time I decided to go with their Matcha Cloud, which is made with single-origin matcha, plant based collagen, ashwagandha, agave and oat milk. The drink was absolutely refreshing and tasting amazing. For a quick bite, I decided to order their avocado toast. It was equally delicious but I just wished the bread was a either a little thicker, or more toasted since it started to get a little soggy too quickly. Overall a five-star experience and will most definitely come back here for meetings or just to work for a few hours.

    Wow, this is going to be my go-to spot for smoothies and bowls! I've been wanting to check out this place because I've heard great things about it. I got the sapphire bowl, which was super fresh and tasty. The ingredients are definitely top quality! I can't wait to try the rest of the menu because the quality is worth the price (which is super reasonable!). Order up front, find a spot to sit, and someone will bring the order out to you when it's ready. There is also complimentary water and wifi. It's a great place to do work because they also serve many coffee/tea drinks.

    Finally got to try a smoothie frol southwest elixirs and it was fantastic! Definitely pricey but ingredients are definitely fresh. I ordered online for pickup which went smoothly. I got the green trail smoothie and it was absolutely yummy. Highly recommend. The shop is easy to find and there's plenty of parking. Staff was friendly great spot if you're looking for some good tasting healthy smoothies.

    The vibes here are just amazing! The plants and all the colorful touches make the space feel so lively. I tried their spring matcha special the Desert Springs and first of all, the drink was adorable! I wasn't sure how prickly pear would mix with matcha, but omg... it was sooo good. I loved it! Also, they have this cool garage style door that opens up and gives the whole place a super open airy feel. Definitely worth a visit! They've got smoothies, smoothie bowls, and coffee too.

    matcha latte
    Ivy N.

    I got the regular iced matcha latte half sweet. It was super good, very creamy and smooth. There is a good matcha to milk ratio and the drink wasn't overly milky. Half sweet was perfectly sweet imo. Inside is cute and spacious with lots of seating and pink walls. The service was friendly and nice.

    Very cool hippie atmosphere inside. Great coffee and matcha. also had a ginger shot that made me hear colors. A great place to get a fun drink and lunch/brunch. Service was nice and they are helpful with choosing drinks from their menu

    Matcha latte
    Angelica A.

    The matcha, the ambiance, everything 10/10! Firstly would like to say that the interior is beautiful. Very cozy and boho. They serve lots of goods like matcha drinks, açai, smoothies and juices. I've only gone once but will definitely come back to try more. Love my matcha drink and would get it again. The staff were nice and friendly. I recommend.

    Organic ginger shot
    Stacy V.

    Still love it here. Added an organic ginger shot to the mix today.. fire And just love the people that work here!

    This is such a lovely spot that I find myself returning to again and again to fuel my body! This place gives San Diego vibes - very laid back, pretty place. Great atmosphere to dine alone or go with a friend! Amazing smoothies, great coffee, and a few food options as well! Very friendly service and they have an awards program as well. If you haven't been yet, give this place a try!!!

    Prickly Pear Matcha
    Jacy M.

    The place is gorgeous and has great ambience, and the customer service is amazing. Usually I get nervous being in new places alone with my baby, but I would definitely come back here, the workers were kind and very helpful. We got a Prickly Pear Matcha and the avo toast and it was great. Everything on your drink is customizable, which is explained by the workers. Also - I would say there is ample seating which I don't find usual for coffee shops.

    Desert Spring Matcha
    Kenia S.

    Fell in love with their Desert Spring Matcha, mainly because it's pink and I ask for it lightly sweetened and it's the perfect balance of earthy and flavorful. First time having the Garden sandwich for a quick lunch and it is so delicious! Garden sandwich has the homemade pesto & hummus, avocado (beautifully seasoned with pepper and lime), spring mix, tomato and onions. Very refreshing and light! My new faveeee! Sam is so sweet and so patient in describing the menu! Ambiance is so relaxing and I love the display of the gorgeous art!

    Thaddeus C.

    I drive 20 minutes to come here mainly due to how friendly the staff is but also because of the quality of ingredients they use. Hands down the best spot in San Antonio

    Sun Hands Juice
    Deja G.

    Support local businesses!!! Madison and Santiago are not only delightful people but their local juice/smoothie/coffee spot is delicious. Quality ingredients and quality taste. My juice was so fresh and gave me natural energy, energy that won't give me a "crash" later. I HIGHLY recommend this spot when you need a healthy pick me up.

    Nearly 3 years later and I visited Creme once again. This time around I ordered a cookie, cortado,…read moreand a mocha latte. They were nice enough to warm the cookie for me, and it had that "fresh out of the oven" smell and gooeyness. They asked me if I wanted my drinks for here or to-go and I said for here and they still served me in to-go cups, which I thought was weird. The cortado was not my favorite. It was bitter and acidic and the foam was looking a little yeasty. The mocha latte also had very little flavor to it, tasting like hot milk. I had difficulty finishing both drinks. Later I noticed they were using What's Brewing beans, and it made sense. I know many folks love WB? coffee beans, as it's a bit of a local darling, but more often than not I don't enjoy cortados made with their beans. Dirty dishes and cutlery sat on a couple of tables long after folks had left. I don't want to make assumptions, because there WAS a designated staff member for cleaning/wiping things down, but maybe those two evaded her. There's a sign on the wall that says, "I'm not for everyone," and boy are they right. They also stopped playing one of my favorite Radiohead songs (right in the middle of it!) to play Teenage Dream by Katy Perry. Now while I'm not deducting stars for THAT (because that's just downright petty), I can't help but feel unimpressed by my most recent visit. At least the cookie was delicious. Perhaps a third visit is in order. As they say, third time's a charm, right?

I've always had a great experience at Local Coffee Founders at The Pearl. Their cold brew is a reliable thirst quenching caffeinated option if you're in the area, and they offer all of the coffee shop staples you'd expect. During peak hours, this isn't the coffee shop I'd come to for relaxation or to get some work done on my laptop, the interior is small, seating is limited, and the ambient noise is louder than you'll find in other places. They're dog friendly, but I would recommend going with someone that can wait outside while you order or vice versa. Service has always been fairly good, but you'll definitely want to listen closely for them to announce your order is ready. There's ample seating outside in the adjacent courtyard and The Pearl District in general. I like to get coffee here when I'm already in the area, especially during the weekend markets, but this isn't the place I'd come to get coffee otherwise. As with most businesses at The Pearl you're going to be paying a comparative premium to the cost of similar goods elsewhere. Things worth knowing ahead of time: Ample parking at The Pearl, cost varies based on the time and day of the week though. I believe it's still free weekdays before 3pm, and always free for the first 30 minutes. Expect to walk a bit regardless of where you park, as there is no parking directly adjacent to the cafe.

I haven't been to a CIA restaurant since I went to the one in Napa many years ago. We arrived around noon and were seated immediately as not many people were dining there except for a party of about 8 people in one table and 2 people in a bar top table in the other room by the pastries. A couple of people came in to buy pastries to go. Kiana was our student server and explained the concept. They're only open from February til April for that particular semester and in August for another semester with students operating both front and back of house in the kitchen. The proceeds from the restaurant sales goes towards the Students' Graduating Fund to help with the costs of schooling. The students can experience serving customers and cooking. The chef has a Basque background so his menu is French-Spanish inspired according to Kiana. My friend and I thought this was a great cause! We perused the menu but I zeroed into the Queen Vol Au Vent because it reminded me of the Chicken A La King in Pastry Shells dish I used to make when we used to have big family Christmas parties. I wanted to see their version. I asked Kiana what the pastry shells were filled with since the menu says it's filled with the "Chef's choice Velouté" and she said chicken and mushrooms in a cream sauce. Perfect! My friend got the Egg Croissant & Petit Salade with a side of Bacon & Home Fries. While they were preparing our dishes, I walked up to the pastry case to see what they had to offer. They had cookies, Raisin Bread rolls, Conchas, Manchego & Sausage Scone, Alfajor Dulce de Leche, a Passion Chocolate dessert, fruit tarts, Napoleon, Baguettes and some bagged items: Palmiers, Chocolate coated Nuts and Toffee. I asked one of the chefs how much the bag of Toffee cost and she said $3.80 so I said I'll buy a bag. My friend was curious to see what they had so she also picked up a bag of Toffee. My friend also ordered a cup of brewed coffee. Our dishes came and I noticed how huge my friend's Egg Croissant looked! It was nicely laminated and the egg filling looked nice and creamy. The bacon was thickly sliced and my friend said there was a slight sweetness, perhaps maple? She gave me a piece and it was pretty tasty, meaty and wasn't greasy, nor salty. My Queen Vol Au Vent wasn't quite as big as I thought it would be but the chicken filling was ample. The Petit Salade on the side were just dry greens and wasn't a very big portion either. It could've used more dressing as it was lacking moisture. Perhaps some sliced Heirloom Cherry tomatoes would've been nice to accompany the dry pastry shell Vol Au Vent dish and add a pop of color too. When we were paying our bill, Kiana said the bagged Toffees were on the House since they just opened so we were pleasantly surprised and thankful! Another server asked my friend if she'd like more coffee or if she'd like it in a to-go cup so she took that option. I noticed the students were clearing out the pastries and bread so I asked Kiana what they did with the excess, unsold pastries? She said they take inventory, donate or throw them away except for the bread which is frozen and sold the next day. We told her we hoped it was given away since they're perfectly fine and for a good cause. There was an instructor's birthday today so the students and staff sang "Happy Birthday" by the kitchen. That was nice. We paid our bills and before leaving I used the co-ed restroom which was very clean and spacious. We sat outside so they could buss our tables and we continued talking outside. Can't wait to come back again before the semester ends!

    *NOTE* The CIA Cafe is only open from February to April…read more What a lovely breakfast experience! We arrived 25 mins after they opened, and another party had just gotten seated. Although it is small, it's well-designed and well-laid out. The staff is really sweet and patient if it's your first time visiting. The breakfast croissant sandwich is the perfect amount of food, not to mention a well-balanced meal. The lamination is just proper- a buttery, flaky crunch. If you plan on getting goodies from the bakery, they can take your dine-in check and adjust the price to add those items. The variety can be a bit overwhelming but trust your gut. There's nothing terrible, since the quality of the ingredients and technique were on point. My favorite was the white chocolate pretzel cookie, so I'd like to return and try the other flavors. I love that a portion of your bill also funds the scholarship program, which makes you feel good about the entire experience.
