    Espresso matcha
    Sierra S.

    Got an espresso matcha which was FANTASTIC! The shop itself is so cute on the inside with a cereal bar, plenty of records, and a cute antique shop attached. The man behind the counter was very nice and patient when I had questions and made a great matcha. Not gritty at all and drank smooth. Will have to return when I'm in the area.

    I just happened to stumble upon this place and I'm very glad I had. The whole aesthetic of the coffee shop was on point, there were records everywhere in the shop with plants at every table. They had a menu full of different options to chose from; matcha, lattes, Italian sodas, smoothies etc. the strawberry Italian soda was super good and so was the strawberry fields matcha. Definitely going to be coming back to try more of the menu and check out the cereal bar. There is also an attached antique shop inside that had a lot of cool items as well!

    Hard pass I was looking for coffee and there were not a lot of options in this area. Looked interesting and had some good reviews so I gave it a shot. Walked in and it had a nice feel. There was only one person in the shop who was talking loud on speakerphone, which is always was strange. I walked up to the counter to order and nobody was there to take my order. Turns out the person talking on speaker was the person working. I stood there for, 30 seconds and the person continue to talk on the phone...on speaker and never acknowledge me. Not a "good morning",hello", " I'll be with you in one minute", "we don't serve your kind", "go to hell", NOTHING?!? Not until I turned around and walked out the door (and it's a good 40 feet to the door) saying,. "Now I'm ready for you". Well NOW I'm never coming back. So now I'm headed up the road to a Valero to have some Texas pecan or House Blend depending on what's available. At least I'll have my coffee in less time than it took him to acknowledge my existence. Have a great morning my Yelp! family!

    The coffee was very good and they have a variety of pastries. The vibe is chill perfect to hang out. I got a few vinyls, they are a bit pricey and one of them was damaged i couldn't play, so i suggest to open and check the vinyls because it hurts to pay $20 for a vinyl that is so scratched you can't play.

    Great customer service! The workers were very kind and helpful. Love how it's a vinyl coffee shop. They have vinyls you can shop for as your drinking your coffee. It was a little packed when we went but the line went fairly quickly. There is a lot of seating, however, to me it was all bunched together rather than spread out. They do have an outside patio though with additional seating. I ordered an iced mocha latte. Perfect blend of espresso, milk and mocha. (They did run out of espresso during our visit). Overall cute coffee shop and definitely worth a visit.

    I'm currently on a "mandatory vacation" thanks to the goings on in our current political climate. My work drama aside, I decided to make the most of it and asked for coffee shop recommendations. My cousin suggested this spot, and I met up with a friend here today. The space is large and inviting. Cheeky hippie posters adorn the walls and a wall of vinyl records line the side by the entrance. (Some vintage items like VHS tapes, recorders, etc are stored below) Seating is eclectic, with chairs, tables, and soft, cushiony... cushions. The menu seems pretty cool. As with many spots, they have your standards, and then they have their specialties--some with recognizable names like "Strawberry Fields" and "In Bloom" (Matcha drinks, I believe). I opted for a cortado and a Mexican Mocha, which seems to be my go-to order these days anywhere I go. By the time I finished ordering I caught a glimpse of the pastry case a little too late. I declined to get a pastry, but they had some yummy offerings like cinnamon rolls, pop tarts, and muffins. My drinks arrived in the cutest little ceramic cups. The cortado, in particular, was in a very pretty cup that made me feel fancy drinking it. It was good! Not too bitter, low acidity, and went down easy. The Mexican Mocha was incredible. I wish it was cold outside, it would have been perfect had it been a cold day. Every some-odd Tuesday there appears to be a Coffee Meetup with some ladies. My friend and I happened upon them and joined them for a bit. The owners were very friendly, too. A great place to meet up with some friends. If the weather cooperates, check out their patio.

    My Sis and I was in the area and in desperate need of some caffeine! She had already been here but I had not. It was such a nice surprise because this place is so fun and lively. It very tastefully decorated and very welcoming. The owner is the cashier and takes your order. The vinyl is for sale of course and they have a decent selection! They only serve coffee/drinks and pastries. However, they do have a cool little cereal bar that I've never seen anywhere else before! Very unique touch! My Sis and I both ordered the "Black Tie" play on words, it was a "Thai" tea with espresso. I got it cold and my sis got it hot. I loved it we also got a "pop tart" that's home made and it was so yummy! I love this place! Glad I got to experience it.

    I had a Nutella & espresso with a giant mixed berry pop tart. The coffee was rich and creamy and the pop tart had a nice buttery crust. I shopped at their antique shop and found a china sugar dish I'm missing from my China set. Great place!!

    Amazing coffee and such a great vibe! Loved every moment -- definitely a must-visit spot.

    We were around the area and found this place! Their hours were incorrect online because initially I thought they were closed because online states they open at 8 but they were already open at 7:15 which was a nice surprise. Walking in, it is very spacious. The barista was very nice and personable. The aerocano was delicious. We spent quite a bit of time looking at records. Will be checking this place out when I'm around this area again!

    Hidden gem located on Nacogdoches, just north of 410. I met a friend here for coffee and we both enjoyed the coffee and ambiance. It was quiet with some soft music playing in the background so you can easily converse without yelling, study, read, etc. The man behind the counter was very pleasant and helped me with my order and brought out the coffee. They have a pretty big menu with different coffee options, syrups, agua frescas and a few pastries to choose from. Most importantly, they have a good selection of records to purchase. I noticed they have a cereal bar that was very popular. You select your cereal and the shop gives you a bottle of milk. Overall, pretty cool spot to visit. Peace. There's plenty of seating inside, which is an ideal spot to work remotely from.

    Slowly I am discovering more and more vinyl shops in San Antonio and this one had a bonus perk of serving some pretty delicious coffee. I came in on a week day afternoon and was greeted by an older gentleman that might have been the owner. Upon walking in I noticed all of the records organized in large wooden bins including the labeling of each. The artist/band, name of the album, and pricing was clear and on each cover. As a vinyl collector I super appreciate the organization as it makes it easier for me to navigate what is for sell. The owner was friendly and encouraged me to take my time looking through what the shop had to offer. I saw so many genres here from country, pop, classics, reggae, and hip hop too. For coffee I settled on a hot mocha and I was not disappointed. You can tell this coffee shop takes their coffee seriously and will make it to your liking and order. Check out the cool coffee cart to the left side of the register. I felt like I was in a movie getting my coffee prepared with such beautiful and fancy gold-looking cups! As I browsed the records many people came in and were either setting up to work or just hanging out, having coffee or lemonade, while reading and writing. I could tell this is a great spot to hang for a minute. I saw a few regulars hanging out too and someone on a Zoom call for work. Four stars instead of five only because I was not impressed with 1 of the 2 records I brought back home with me. I noticed a large scratch on it before playing it on my record player at home. My fault though because I should have taken the time to check the record and give it a spin on the record player set up here prior to buying. Cool collection can be found here and I had no complaints about being able to browse a large collection while drinking some local coffee.

    Inside view- lots of seating.

    Recommend: Maybe Ambiance: The place is huge and great to bring your book club friends. There is so much seating available. There is good music and you can shop for vinyl records! It is quiet with the exception of low music playing in the back ground. The coffee shop is close to a dollar tree, an ice cream/paleteria, nail shop, and a pet store. Service: The owner was so nice and helpful. Answered my questions, gave me a few recommendations before I settled on the "Green Eye." Food: I selected the green eye coffee with almond milk. It was ok, nothing to write home about. I'll be honest, I like the place more for its vibes that the coffee. I can see this as a late night hangout where friends come chat and catch up on what's currently happening in their lives.

I always end up walking out with more than 2 records each visit as their pricing and selection is worth visiting each time. The layout of the shop is great. I recommend starting left side of the shop and work your way around to the right side. You will find all genres sorted out and organized in a very simple and easy to navigate way. Most of the newest arrivals (from folks who are selling or trading their records in) to the back left side. I like starting here just in case I end up finding something cool that just came in. It's a nice way to be able to see what came through to the shop in the last day or two and these records are always diverse in genre. I really enjoy the vintage collection the shop has as decor here. I have seen 8-track players, lunch boxes, older posters from classic albums, cassette players, and even some cool nostalgic childhood toys. I kept smiling at each vintage or throwback items I saw that often tells you "not for sale" or "NFS" stickers on it. As a record collector I take the condition of records seriously before purchasing. I am the annoying record collector who will slide the record out of the sleeve and bend it up to the light to check for scratches, dirt, dust, etc. The last few visits at Crazy Rhythms I have been purchasing and not checking the condition or quality because I trust what I am getting is going to be playable and no bumps/hiccups when I do play them. You will get very good to high-quality records here no doubt. Just heads up - every record collector should know that the cheaper the price (aka clearance or discounted items) usually the quality will suffer but THAT IS NOT THE CASE HERE. You will get better than great quality records and anything that is priced low is probably overstock, common record/selection, and is always priced fairly. You can trust in this record store. Trust. Parking is super easy - just pull right up to the front of the store or park in the private lot. Even when the tourist attractions are busy around the store you will most definitely be able to stop in without having to worry about parking. Parking is never a thing for me even when Fiesta is happening. Check out the selections I have picked up in the few times I have come thru in my photos.

The location in Artisan Alley is super cute, and from the outside the store looked promising. I was specifically hoping to find a meaningful vinyl for him. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. When we opened the door, there were records spread all over the floor and a person sitting on the ground sorting through them, making it difficult to even step inside the very small space. Between the uneven flooring and the clutter, it felt chaotic and uncomfortable to navigate. There was only one other couple inside, and honestly it already felt overcrowded. I understand small vintage shops can be eclectic, but this didn't feel organized at all. I even had to ask who the owner was because we were looking for something specific, and while he may have been busy dealing with a recent record purchase, he seemed distracted and not particularly interested in helping customers. I really wanted to love this place because it has charm and potential, but the overall experience felt stressful instead of enjoyable.

I even found an excellent 1970s stand-up live comedy stint that Cheech and Chong did in LA here that is excellent quality and has beautiful pictures inside the LP. The employees were super helpful, too, and even offered to recommend an artist or bands to listen to if you let them know you were down. There are turntables and headphones for you to plop down the record you are considering and give it a spin before you buy it. Parking is located at the back of the building with no fuss.
