Whole beans
Lauren G.

The la dolce vida cold brew was hands down the BEST I have ever had! I didn't add any cream or syrups but a splash of half and half would be all you need.The coffee is bright and nutty and sweet with out any sweetener at all.I will be going back to get the beans or whatever it take to get more. Now let's talk about the value. We got two drinks a cold brew and a latte for under $10 with tip. That's unheard of these days! There are other small drive through locations but this is their roast house I guess. You can buy bulk beans and merch. They also have the largest pin ball selection in SA.

We stumbled upon this place and it was quite interesting. There was a pinball tournament when we arrived... so it was a bit hectic of some passionate pinball players. I really liked the variety of coffee beans you can select to make your coffee. I got the cherry, toasted nuts and chocolate flavor. It was good but a sip of that woke me up! We decided to take the recommended coffee beans they recommend for expresso.

Are these considered retro or classic themed pinball machines? ‍

Popped in for a chess meetup but enjoyed the coffee and PINBALL machines! Some machine play ran up to $2 but there were $0.50 per play options as well. Drink a coffee, give the kids a few bucks for the machines and everyone wins.

Iced Shamrock Latte & Hot Chocolate with Almond Milk

They can't make matcha drinks in the slightest, but their other drinks are better. Former coffee shop and specialty tea shop barista here. My fiancé really wanted to give What's Brewing's specialty Spring Menu matcha drink a try despite our abysmal experience last time with their standard Matcha Lattes so we returned to try said drink, the Iced Shamrock, at his request. This drink was better than the last lattes we tried, only because it was actually drinkable. We don't even want to call this a matcha drink because it tasted solely of lavender. All of the flavor was at the bottom of the drink, and even having mixed it better ourselves any flavor that remained was super faint about two thirds through. It was so oversaturated with lavender that the only reason we were able to identify that there was any matcha in this drink whatsoever was its green color. My fiancé gave it two stars. As I was not so confident in their matcha drinks after our last visit, I ordered the Hot Chocolate with Almond Milk figuring it would be a safer option and it did in fact prove to be the better of the two. It came out warm, not hot, so I drank it a little faster than I'd like to have so it wouldn't get cold on me. It was mixed far better than the Iced Shamrock Latte and was really creamy and smooth. As it was made with a darker chocolate it had a pleasant bitterness to it, and the chocolate's sweetness complemented by the natural sweetness of the almond milk gave it a silky richness that paired well with the bitterness for a balance drink. It gets four stars from me. Though I'm a little glad we returned to give other drinks a try I'm still very disappointed by the consistent total failure in the matcha department, especially when I myself use the same brand at home. Their Hot Chocolate was really good and their homemade PopTarts looked really yummy too, so another visit still could be in our future.

What's Brewing is such a fun take on a coffee shop. They roast in-house, which you can view through a window, & you can buy from their plethora of bean selection. They have over 20 different pinball machines you can pick & play from. Their strength is their fun ambiance! However, I was a little disappointed by the lack of latte art & bland taste from their house blend latte. This is a place I would bring my friends who are looking for a fun brunch activity.

$3.25 for a Latte! WHAT?!? Loved What's Brewing? Such a fun vibe. Open space with lots of pinball machines to play. Aside from the pinball machines they have a ton of board games you can choose from. The machines cost $1 and they do have change machines. Lots of seating in the area. I ordered a vanilla latte. I was truly surprised at how cheap it was. I've been to a ton of coffee shops and never only payed $3! Great coffee, great service and great experience! All around fun visit to the coffee shop!

I'd had first heard of What's Brewing several years ago when HEB would sell their coffee. It seems HEB stopped selling their coffee so I had to seek them out to get my coffee directly from them. This place is a fun and hip location to visit. Whether you're after coffee, a snack or both this popular place is where you want to be. They have some fun pinball machines you can play while you're waiting or just want to have fun. The staff is very friendly and courteous. There is a reason this place has such high ratings... excellent coffee, atmosphere and service.

After dropping my husband off at the airport, I had time to kill before a meeting and desperately needed a cup of coffee. The location is surprising because it's in a very industrial area, but they had a steady stream of customers, which speaks to the great coffee and cool place. Not only can younsit and have a fabulous cup of coffee but you can play arcade games. Really unique place.

Great lattes! Good pastries. Lots of cozy couches and seating. Love that you can buy fresh beans by the pound and flavored cold brews to go.

My cup and beans to go
Del P.

First time here. Our friend bought us coffee (beans) a few months ago and and we were pleased with the coffee. Decided to check this coffee roaster since In the area. Purchased a cup of coffee and bought 16 ounce coffee beans. (See pics) Only question I had was, I didn't see roast date in the barrels that beans were place in. Would be good to know roast date. (For freshness) Awesome place with pinball machine. Friendly staff.

5 stars for coffee and cool pinball (I wish the baked goods were better so one star off).

Do they say when the coffee beans are roasted?

Personally I didn't see any roast dates. See my review and see their reply when I asked about roast dates.

Honestly, this was probably the best. cold brew I've ever had…read more It was refreshing, awakening, nutty and subtle. From now on, every time I have a cold brew, it will be compared to this cup of coffee i just had. You have set my new standard. My wife also was very happy with what she ordered. She got the liberty bell with some modifications and got mad me for not taking her sooner. They also have merchandise in store that I definitely bought. As a Veteran, former MP, a place like this is right up my alley. But to have a product that brings me comfort is why I would come back. I wish there was an actual location near me, but the products found in stores will do just fine.

Party of 1, walk in and ordered. Not busy and I was able to get a table to work this afternoon…read more I had an incredible experience! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by how spotless and inviting the space was. It truly shows they prioritize cleanliness and comfort. The staff was warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, making me feel welcomed. The coffee was absolutely fantastic. What really stood out to me is their pride in supporting our military and veterans. It's inspiring to see a business that not only serves exceptional coffee but also gives back to those who have served our country. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great cup of coffee and a welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be returning soon!

BLUF: Mid-density coffee chain with Texas Hill Country roots, specialize in sweeter calorically…read moredense caffeinated beverages, delicious as an occasional indulgence but not a place I'd go everyday. Summer Moon Coffee is great and this location is no exception. They specialize in sweeter, calorically dense, caffeinated beverages, with their signature Moon Milk being a stand out and my usual go to. They offer varying levels of sweetness, so everyone has the opportunity to dial in the beverage to their liking. They offer all the traditional coffee house staples as well, but I haven't personally tried any of those and can't speak to their quality. Prices are comparable to other coffee chains in the area. Ambient noise level inside the cafe was low and would be a well suited location to get some work done or study, several patrons seemed to be doing so. They offer WiFi, and the Verizon 5G signal was very strong inside. This location is a part of the Tripoint complex, shared with the D.R. Semmes Family YMCA and Trinity Baptist Church. Definitely worth stopping by for your caffeine fix after a workout if you're already in the area, but probably not a location I would come to for just the coffee. Things worth knowing ahead of time: They offer a drive through in you're in a hurry or stopping by on your way to work. Their restrooms are located just outside of the cafe area and shared by the church they share the building with.
