Sip Brew Bar & Eatery

Enjoyable little cafe and coffee shop. I was there a couple of years ago when my wife had a conference. I got to spend a couple of days here in the mornings on my own. It was probably a 10-15 minute walk from where I was staying near the Alamo. I'm glad I did because my options were either hotel coffee or Starbucks (which does happen to be right across the street). Staff was friendly and the shop flow was steady. It is a bit small but I imagine most of their clientele are people who work near there, and I’ve never had trouble finding a seat. I was served quickly and spent some time there reading. I look forward to going there again.

The coffee here is AMAZING. The team behind the counter is always super nice, I’m from out of town but they remembered me the next day I came in. I got the standard sandwich which was really great. It may take a minute to get your order when they’re busy, but I promise it’s worth the wait! I also like that they try to be environmentally conscious- with paper straws and no lids

The main focus here is on coffee, but they have a handful of sammiches and a few salads. I had the Veggie Delight sandwich ($7.58 with tax). TONS of avocado (they don’t skimp on the avocado here my peeps), lettuce, tomatoes, hummus, and caramelized onions on a couple of pieces of nicely toasted/grilled bread. Most places hold back on the avocado, but I can’t stress enough how much avocado was on this sandwich - and that’s a GOOD thing. It’s laid out like your typical hipster style coffee bar. Most of the seating is at bars around the windows looking out onto the street, and they have soft couches and chairs to lounge around on and discuss those important hipster issues while you enjoy your “brew.”

Great location. Historic downtown San Antonio. Great baristas and awesome service. I ate a The Sexy and it was actually really tasty. The latte however was a bit water down or at least that is the taste in comparison to other similar coffee shops. But overall experience was great. Will definetly come back. 2 thumbs up.
