Reason why I'm giving this place a two star and not higher is because when we ordered our sandwiches and I noticed the white part of the egg was a little runny and not fully cooked, I took it back to the front to request it be remade, the manager and cook ensured me it was. Despite me SHOWING them where the egg was NOT FULLY COOKED THROUGH. I cook eggs for myself everyday. And being pregnant the egg must fully be cooked through. They were telling me it's bc of the cheese melted on top. Which has nothing to do with the egg. You could see the clear distinction between the cheese and egg. I wish I had taken a photo to share. They would not take it back to be remade. So I just said forget it and we ate them anyway. Since I'm in my third trimester I figured I should be fine. However a great manager would have made sure they were remade. I use to work in the restaurant biz and the customer is always right. And I was showing them their error and they were working to convince me it was cooked all the way, again when you could clearly see it wasn't. Also my hubs strawberry lemonade was not even filled up all the way in the cup. I would expect if we are paying for something that doesn't have a refill, at least fill it up all the way. Oh and my BIGGEST disappointment is that there is NO BURRITO!! We actually came here for that specifically, only to find out that it has not been on the menu for over a year, yet that is the one review and promotion that pops up when you look at this establishment. So it's false advertising and should be taken down since they no longer make the burrito. Also if you're coming here to work, it's super small and cramped. I did see a ton of people sitting with laptops and having meetings. However I wouldn't come to this place to work, unless it's the only option in your area. Overall, next time I'm in town, we won't coming back here, primarily bc it's close to the Eilan hotel we stayed at and we definitely won't be staying there again. Already wrote my review about that place, and I don't recommend it. read more

Five stars Thirty Grind is such a great breakfast spot, especially if you're staying at or near the Eilan Hotel & Resort. Everything felt fresh, high-quality, and thoughtfully put together. I ordered a latte and was a little worried it might be overly sweet, but it ended up being perfectly balanced--smooth, flavorful, and not too sugary at all. For food, I had the turkey, egg, and bacon sandwich on a brioche bun with arugula and chipotle mayo, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors worked really well together, and the brioche added just the right touch of richness. Overall, it was a really enjoyable breakfast experience, and I would definitely come back! read more

Coffee shop located near La Cantera. It was really busy the day we went. It's kinda small so seating is limited. Luckily we were able to snag an area in the corner. I ordered the churro latte. It was so good! The prices are very reasonable as well. The girls working were very nice and worked well under pressure. As busy as it got they never seemed frustrated or rude when we asked for something. We'll definitely go back when in the area. read more

Went for their holiday menu and was surprised at the Tiramisu and Creme Brûlée lattes! They were delicious but the one thing thing is that it tasted more like a sweet drink than coffee but I didn't mind I loved it. The one thing I didn't like was their matcha because it was very water down and did not taste like matcha to me. They also have some bakery items that look good but I did not try any. The place is small and it seems to be doing well because the two times I've gone it's been full! The staff if super kind and very attentive. The wait time was not bad at all for how busy it was. I love the location's aesthetic and it's a cozy place. The parking in front of it is small but there's more parking a little farther down, you just have to walk a little more but NOT BAD AT ALL. Over all I would go back to try more things! read more

Came to San Antonio for a college tour and found this super cute coffee shop! Loved the cozy vibes--it's a small space, but we were lucky to arrive when there wasn't a line. The girl at the front and the barista were both super friendly, and our iced coffees were amazing. We tried the Banana Foster, Churro, and Honey Lavender--each one was unique and delicious. We also ordered a breakfast sandwich, which took a bit of time (around 15-20 minutes), so just a heads-up if you're in a rush. But it was totally worth the wait--hot, fresh, and flavorful. Overall, a great little spot to relax and enjoy a tasty drink and bite. Would definitely come back! read more

So we came here on Sunday ( my husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary). I was intrigued to come here because my dream always to have a coffee flight. I didn't realize it's weekdays only but the manager was so sweet she made an exception. Honestly the nicest workers. The best customer service I've had in awhile. It left such a good impression I'll definitely be back soon. Anyways we got the jet setter, we had chai and tiramisu and matcha and banana, the chai was the BESt DRINK I've ever had! Honestly I liked it so much I wanted to order another one to go. My husband loved the tiramisu he said it literally tasted like one. Just note it's a small coffee shop not enough seating inside but outside there's tables and chairs which is nicer anyways. read more

Such a great little coffee shop at the Elian! I stopped by on a Wednesday morning and it was pretty busy but I was able to find a spot to do some work. They have a pretty extensive coffee menu but I decided on the churro latte ($6.25) and was more than happy with my choice! It was sooo good. They also have a pretty good breakfast menu with a variety of options. I got the breakfast bagel ($8.50?) and throughly enjoyed it! The food did take a while to come out but they did let me know that before I ordered which was much appreciated. All in all, great experience and I definitely will be back when I'm in the area. read more

Thirty grind has some fun coffee options! However if you're looking for a place to study I would not recommend , maybe at least for a weekends it gets very crowded and drinks can take a super long time. The tables and chairs are also awkwardly set up so if you have books or a laptop it's not ideal. The tables are very small and low to the ground. Would come here again to just grab coffee and go though! Matcha was good! read more

Thirty grind is definitely different from other coffee shops I've been to in town! I was looking up local spots close to me and found this one over in the Eilan Hotel area. It's right across from the Rim! It's a small setting for sure, but brings a sophisticated vibe to coffee. Think of it like a craft bar lounge, but instead of drinks it's coffee. I don't drink, so it's perfect for me! Even the drinks and food are all prepared with the utmost attention. I've liked everything that I've tried so far, and I'm pretty sure I'll like the rest of the menu too. If you take your drink for here, it's even served in elevated cups, wine glasses, stuff like that. They're in their soft opening phase but grand opening is on the 27th! read more

This place is a vibe and the matcha is top tier. Former coffee shop and specialty tea shop barista here! I'm so sad I was short on time and couldn't stay as long because this café was so cool. I was super impressed by the newer barista in training because he made our drinks so well, and both baristas were so kind and helpful. It may have taken slightly longer for our drinks to come out, but we were able to enjoy the higher end, urban contemporary feel of the place while we waited. We ordered two matcha beverages, the Cozy Lavender Matcha with Almond Milk and the Clouded Matcha with Whole Milk. The matcha drinks at this shop are made with ceremonial grade matcha, are made traditionally (something I was super excited about), and come unsweetened unless ordered otherwise. My Cozy Lavender had the perfect lavender and honey balance to complement the matcha. The lavender extract had good sweet but earthy notes that balanced with the almond milk, and the honey gave the drink a smooth added sweetness. My fiancé's Clouded Matcha had a fantastic cloud top that was incredibly creamy and foamy, and was rich without overpowering the rest of the drink. The sea salt gave an excellent savoriness to the drink while balancing out with the sweetness of the caramel, and the white chocolate gave a deep but subtle richness to the drink. Despite the all of strong flavors they didn't overpower one another or the matcha itself, but created a harmonious drink packed full of flavor. Both beverages were crafted excellently, were silky smooth, and didn't have too much ice. I will absolutely return as this café has become a top five on our Favorite Coffee Shop Matcha list. Next time I'll have to stay longer to enjoy the atmosphere! read more

My new go-to coffee place! I couldn't find a coffee that could replace my Starbucks addiction until now. The flan iced coffee and breakfast club is to die for! Their Instagram shows so many photos of their drinks (so creative and TASTY) to see what they look like. Plus! Pictures is what I look for because I get scared I may not like something, and the photos allowed me to want to try many different items on their menu rather then just stick to the same thing over and over. Their staff is SO nice and recommends great suggestions on what to try. The sandwiches does take a little bit of time to get cooked but so worth the wait. They do use Joes App for online ordering so I'll be using that in the near future if I need to grab and go. Lastly, they have expanded their hours and's days, now I have more opportunity to stop in more around work schedule to grab my cravings of good coffee and food. Inside seating area is a great vibe ...so authentic, chill, and peaceful! Recommend to check out!!!! read more

Casual eatery- order at counter and pay..food will be delivered to your table. But, what did I encounter upon entering? omg their beautiful pastries, desserts, and Mexican conchas. Picked up a guava pastry for later. Ordered the Mexican Cubano torta without cheese and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I chose the birote bread- sourdough crispness on the outside with soft inside texture. This torta packed a ton o' flavor! Ham, bacon, kielbasa sausage, pickles, and bread slathered in their chipotle mustard and cilantro mayo. Delicious! I chose the house salad, rather than soup. Tummy was more than happy. For dessert, I ate the guava pastry in the evening- buttery pastry with a sweet guava jelly filling. Yum! Happy to return in the future to try other menu items : ) Lovely interior decor, indoor and outdoor seating , clean establishment.

It is a little on the pricey side, but the lattes and bakery items are really good. They used to have a sugared donut that was my absolute favorite, but unfortunately they no longer carry it. The tortas aren't your typical Mexican torta, but they're still good in their own way. That said, I don't really come here for the main food--I come for the bakery and the café vibe. The salads are also solid if you're looking for something lighter. Service is ok. There's this one guy who usually cleans the tables and he's so friendly. I didn't catch his name but he's on it. I'll Get his name next time im there.

My sister & I bought milk toast, a berry tart, hokkaido custard bun, matcha red bean bun, jalapeño cream cheese, milk tea, & a chocolate bun before going over to the Tesco mart to have some shopping fun. Everything was good & if I did have one near me I'd be 100lbs bigger from binging my favorite Japanese style pastries all the time. The selection here is unmatched.

There were very limited fresh selections available, and many items were still being baked during opening hours. In my opinion, a bakery should open with the shelves fully stocked and ready for customers, especially those of us stopping in early. The prices are reasonable, ranging from about $2.50-$4.00 for both sweet and savory pastries, but price doesn't make up for the lack of availability. I expected to have more options to choose from instead of empty or partially filled displays. For consistency in early morning breakfast items, I could have easily gone to Krispy Kreme, where you know exactly what you're getting when the doors open. That said, 85°C is convenient and their mango smoothies are great. Overall, it's a decent spot, but I wouldn't recommend going first thing in the morning if you're expecting a full pastry selection.

Last weekend, I decided to wait in the line and it went by much faster than I thought it would. We ordered the iced cookie butter matcha with an almond croissant. This might've been one of the best almond croissants I've had too, it was flaky on the outside and soft, sweet. I'm for all things cookie butter and this one did NOT disappoint. It was a perfect balance of sweet with still that lovely matcha flavor. I went with a friend who doesn't like matcha and even he was enjoying it. The second time I went is when they were running a matcha promo that they announced on their instagram (definitely follow the there!) and so I went for my midday pickup and there was a small line of about 7 people. It went by pretty fast. We were intrigued by the horchata milk and the employee let us try a bit and we were convinced that was the one. We got the horchata matcha and the banana matcha with banana cream. I definitely loved both of them but if I had to pick a favorite, it would def be that banana matcha. Perfect balance of that real tasting banana flavor (I dislike any of the artificial fruit flavorings) with the well-balanced matcha. The employees were all super friendly as they even encouraged us to ask for modifications after we got our drinks. Overall, i'll definitely be back and I 1000% get the hype now!!

It's not on the displayed menu, but it's part of their menu on the register (aka secret menu). It's So good. All drinks are half off with a capital one card!! There are lots of coupons online for free drinks, which is a nice bonus. I also really like the booths, and the back rooms are great for studying or meetings. UTSA clubs can even rent them out. Won their December season special where they hide a "Little Capital One Guy" around the store and first person to find it gets to keep him! Super fun Overall, comfy vibe, friendly people, and solid drinks.

The shop is very small with hardly any tables open because everyone is working at a table. The two ladies at the cash register were very sweet. The lady that is making everything/ the owner I'm assuming was not very kind. My friends bowl is a runny consistency and I asked to take out an ingredient after my smoothie was made, which I had no issue repaying because I had been informed after by my friend to check the ingredients that since I'm pregnant, I can't have a certain ingredient in it, which I didn't know until after it was made. The lady comes out and rudely asked did y'all not read the ingredients beforehand. Overall won't be coming back

FIRST TIME TASTE!!!…read more The office was restless and needed a late afternoon pick-me-up to (hopefully) get us driven and focused. We placed an online order and a coworker went to pick it all up. I perused their website carefully so as to make my first tasting impression a promising one and decided on a Strawberry Cloud Latte. My review is based on what I have experienced myself and with their website and on my beverage solely. Their website is very bright and pretty. Loved the language of their story. How yellow is more than just a color to them. And I couldn't agree more!!! Whoever wrote the text on this site has my heart. This business aims to be kind and to be a bright light, however brief, in someone's day. I love this. They also have a reputation of hiring foster kids that age out of the system. Their stores, although similar in color scheme only, looks different from one location to another. The one at La Cantera in SATX is beautiful in its modern chic with large crystal-like chandeliers and white LED backlighting. On to my drink... I ordered the Strawberry Cloud Latte made with soy. It's an espresso (or Matcha) beverage with a strawberry flavored cold foam. Their ice cubes are a bit large and don't fit through the sippy cup lid until it's been given time to melt down. Meh. And my cold foam was not as fluffy as to be likened to a cloud by any means. But the coffee was nice and I'm so glad they had soy! Other milks include almond, nonfat, whole, oat, coconut, half n half and heavy cream. I would love to try their matcha next and sample that Carrot Cake Bar with all that cream cheese frosting!!!

It's exciting to finally have a La La Land in San Antonio. I've visited the Houston locations…read morebefore, but the coffee there hasn't always been consistent. So far, this location hasn't disappointed. The layout can feel a bit cramped up front since the register is near the entrance while most of the seating is in the back. I usually go between 9-10 am, when there's little to no line. Closer to lunch or later in the afternoon, though, it gets significantly busier, sometimes with lines stretching outside to the road. Thankfully, drink turnaround is pretty quick. There's a decent amount of seating, but it can get loud if you're trying to get some work done or study. My go-to drinks are the La La Latte and the Strawberry Latte, and I enjoy trying their seasonal flavors. I don't usually like overly sweet drinks, and theirs do lean on the sweeter side, so I sometimes treat it more as a dessert than a coffee stop. If I'm in the mood for something stronger, I'll ask for an extra shot. While it's a bit pricier than other coffee shops, it's worth it as an occasional treat.
