But frankly, during the last half of the year, I have to say there is a significant change in the atmosphere of the company!!!! When I found out that the other co owner is less involved, it all clicked. I think Khanh has done a tremendous job in turning around the negative, attention seeking coffee culture of her partner. The difference in vibe is SO obvious and it really is great to see a woman become empowered within her own establishment! It is always moving to see a woman in coffee shine, and I am happy to see that the REAL owner of this business is able to finally flap her wings and do so. Congrats in the great turn around!!!

There were so many businesses present at this event, and it was crowded with long lines but our favorite smell was in the air...COFFEE! We were looking for some really good coffee to purchase and after sampling their Peruvian Medium Roast. Darrell & Sandy Vasquez brew their coffee in house in small 6 pound batches to maintain absolute freshness and this was evident in the flavorful sample we tried today...SOLD! My Husband Tony was particularly impressed by how he felt after tasting just a small sample, "more energetic, perked up but not edgy" which is just what we need from our brew of choice during these particularly cold mornings. Darrell and Ryan had on some pretty cool t-shirts today demanding a photo, and hopefully will be available to purchase online dsroastery.com after this request :-) They also have a special cold-brew available that I am especially interested. Thank you for great coffee experience today! L.h

I don't drink coffee…read more But Mr R surprised me with a croissant for the second time when he went off to get coffee for himself, and these are lovely. Earlier in the week was a plain croissant and this morning's is almond. Big as my face, lovely delicate crisp outer shell, a bit of marzipan inside. Good enough I had to ask where tf have you been going, this is wonderful. He says they're about $5 apiece, same as his plain black coffee. I know you could get one cheaper at HEB but they're usually the softer sandwich kind, not platonic ideal flaky breakfast or fancy flavored indulgence. Plus if you've ever actually made croissants you know they should charge $1000 each to start with; probably less work to plan a wedding.

This is BY FAR the BEST Summer Moon and BEST coffee shop in the entire San Marcos, Kyle, Austin,…read moreRound Rock area. Sonnie and Marco have excellent customer service skills that make you feel at home when you walk in. Not to mention that it is the best place to study or get some work done because it is always so inviting and relaxing in there. The mocha I get here is by far the best! They always get my order right, it tastes amazing, and yes it is worth the drive all the way here, and for me to park and grab my coffee here. I know there might be a drive thru location closer to you, but this one is worth the extra effort. Thank you for making my day today and every day I come here!

I've lived in San Marcos for 15 years and I have tried many a coffee shops here, but can safely say…read morethis is THE coffee shop that I have been looking for all these years. You can tell right off the bat that the owners care about the quality of their products and service. The space itself is very welcoming and full of natural lighting and real plants. The products they carry are high-quality, and they even sell their own brand of roasted coffee called Bluebonnet Roasting Co. But that's not the real impressive part of it all. The best part is that their coffee is smooth and doesn't taste burnt or bitter or need tons of sugar and cream to mask the bitter coffee flavor. The coffee shines on its own. My favorite coffee bean is the Fairview Blend for espressos, but basically anything they brew is exceptional. I will only buy coffee here and am converted to buying their beans as well. The miso caramel latte has a very subtle and not-too-sweet flavor that suits my Asian tastebuds. Iykyk. The caramel dirty chai is also really good and satisfies a sweet craving. However, my favorite is the pour over, which really lets their coffee shine. The Americano is a close second for sure. You can tell that they take pride and are passionate about the quality of their coffee. They also are all very friendly and happy to answer questions you may have. The food here is exceptional as well. The biscuits they serve on Fridays and Saturdays...don't get me started. They're buttery, flakey, and the homemade jams are so good! Their focaccia bread sandwiches are amazing. The breakfast focaccia sandwich with thick cut bacon is my favorite so far. I normally only make coffee at home since I'm very picky when it comes to coffee, but since I've been introduced to this place, I have had to go at least once a week for my Fairview fix. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.

Theor seasonal menu is amazing and i stuck to it both visits here. For example a miso infused latte foam? It worked. Boy did it work. The orange flavored cold foam drink came with orange zest on top for an added punch and aesthetic. The store is awesome too. Big and bright windows looking towards a foresty park and easy parking to boot. I spent some time speaking with the manager (maybe yhe owner) and they were really nice and definitely coffee people. I don't live around here but will make it a point to stop in every time i visit the area. Truly a spectacular little coffe house.

A ton of the runners and spectators needed a little coffee fix after the race, so Chaparral had a huge rush while I was in town. This created a long line and a long back order of drinks. Instead of complaining about how long it took and OH MY GOSH HOW DARE THEY MAKE ME WAIT, I have to give them credit. Though the 3 people working were slammed, they were churning out orders quickly and efficiently, fighting off the rush one drink at a time. It took about 20ish minutes to get my coffee, but after getting my hot lavender latte with oat milk, it was worth the wait. It was a very quality cup, and it was just what I needed to start my day. The shop is super narrow, but super cute and stylish. The roadrunner LED on the wall really added to the shop's character. Next time I'm in Lockhart, I'll go out of my way to get back to Chaparral.
