Boss Bagel is an awesome spot for breakfast and coffee. Their wood-fired oven means everything is fresh and made in-house. Only a block from your stay, it's a beautiful morning walk.

Coffee Shops

Press looks like it was built inside of a retired greenhouse. It's tucked away so don't miss the turn. Good coffee and a fun atmosphere.

When I want delicious coffee from a San Antonio roaster, Merit is one of my all-time favorites. Everything is roasted in San Antonio and the shop is a local favorite for good reason. It's also attached to a bike shop. Just a cool vibe.

This place has awesome coffee and pastries and other food items. Built out of an old farmhouse it’s a quaint and quiet place to enjoy a coffee or grab a quick bite. They also have several draft beers on tap for an afternoon on their porch. Live chickens in the back will also keep you company.
