Brown Coffee Co - Southtown - Coffee shop in San Antonio - 812 S Alamo St, USA

This coffee shop is nice and comfy. The drip coffee is very good. And the raspberry cheese Danish is tasty. It's not overly sweet which I like. The customer service is excellent. I can't get enough of this place. It's nice and comfy. The desserts are fablicious.

First time at this cute coffee shop! It’s the perfect place to grab a cup of coffee and study, work, or just find a place to hang out. I love the light that their store front windows bring in! We tried lattes and their cortave which is espresso, milk and agave. The perfect pick me up with the perfect amount of sweet! Shoutout to David for phenomenal customer service. He helped us sort through what to order and even let us know that they also serve beer! We’ll have to come back to try! Minor suggestion: because the layout is so open, I think staff should put their drinks, bags, water bottles somewhere unseen by the patrons. It gives a messy look to their wide kitchen. This place is beautiful! Cleanliness and neatness would make it even more so.

Was having trouble finding a sit-down coffee shop past 2 p.m. on a Saturday that wasn’t inside a mall or only a walk-in style on the street in downtown. I was pleased to find Brown Coffee Company. Plenty of different seating, tall chair w/table-shelves against the window and bench style with cushions, a bar, and also a few lounge chairs. The big glass windows are nice for taking in the street level feeling. The snazzy jazzy music was pleasant. The barista was helpful in suggesting an alternative since they don’t serve teas here I could not get my go-to favorite chai tea latte, but instead enjoyed a classy glass of dirty cold brew with vanilla flavoring and a cool block of ice, see picture. Military veteran discount. Good Wi-Fi, ask for a password, I was able to get some work done while enjoying a drink. Parking is free with validation from barista

Brown Coffee lives up to the Southtown vibe. I am giving it a ding for the lack of ingredients for my latte. Other than that, the service is excellent, the vibe is chill, and the internet is great.

Is it worth the price to park? Maybe. The cold brew here has a very strong first sip which isn’t my favorite thing in the world. I’m sure if I got the sweet version it may just hit perfectly. I enjoy the small pitcher they offer for water and the pancake banana donut was a must. The inside is very open concept with colors that match most coffee shops now. Lighting was good and refreshing and they appear to have a outdoor area to sit at. Parking is free on the street but limited and the parking lot price is too expensive and almost never worth it so beat people there but it is what it is.

On the last day of our trip we discovered Brown Coffee Co. Wish we had found them on day 1! Best coffee we’ve had in a very long time. And if the great coffee wasn’t enough, the freshly made vegan pop tart and donut we had was exquisite. Bonus! Thank you Brown Coffee Co for a job well done.

I love this place!! It’s downtown and I live on the north side of SA but we always make the drive just for this coffee shop. My husband and I are huge coffee people and go to different shops frequently but Brown always stands out to us time and time again. Their quality of drinks is second to none. Even down to the type of oat milk they use (gum and additive free). The baristas are super knowledgeable and seem to truly enjoy their jobs. You can hang out at this spot for hours and not feel pressured to leave, etc. I’ll never stop bragging about Brown. Best spot for speciality coffee!

Simple straight-forward menu with a great atmosphere inside! My go-to is a cold brew-black and it was great. Really liked how the spot is kind of a coffee shop/bar flex with pastries and alcohol drinks offered as well. Also, looked like the perfect spot to go if you needed to study or get some work done.
