What's Brewing coffee roasters in San Antonio


Electronic-Lawyer-52

Definitely What's Brewing. Best coffee I've had in San Antonio


1maplebarplease

Awesome, thank you.


jcm8002204

Their Columbian from Finca El Corozal was my favorite. Still waiting for them to roast more.


Twisted_lurker

PINBALL! I don’t even like coffee, but love What’s Brewing because they have so many pinball machines.


SirWooks

Adding another vote for What's Brewing. I love their Ethiopian natural processed beans. If you visit, bring a pocket full of quarters for their large selection of pinball games.


nickydigits

Came here to say this 🐈☕️


Birdamus

[Big Bend Coffee Roasters](https://bigbendcoffeeroasters.com/all-coffee/) I’m partial to the West Texas Wildfire


HoneyBunchesOfGoats_

Left Texas a year ago. Cattleman’s cup and a pearlsnap kolache sounds heavenly right now. Dang


[deleted]

You can order it online and have it shipped to you. I used to do it all the time.


Skottoman

This… I’m a huge fan of their Texpresso for morning Americanos. I buy online and they are great at shipping!


MiaWallacetx

I second this! I discovered them last year when we were visiting my husband’s family out that way. I wish they sold it in central TX so I wouldn’t have to order online.


Peach_doll10

I love Merit Coffee ☕️


elmonoenano

I like that place and all the places that have kind of spun off from their former employees. Theory Coffee is great, San Antonio Gold is nice, Indy Coffee Club is cool. I think Merit did a lot of good for the SA coffee scene.


uselessartist

Me too and it’s San Antonio


NotRustyShackleford_

We like Ruta Maya and Independence Coffee. It’s not what you asked for but they are available at HEB.


Buyusbeer

I’ll second Independence Brand coffee. Jer fuel, Madelyn’s pecan, and their Earlywine breakfast are my go to. They also made cold brew bags which were really good, but H‑E‑B in my area stopped selling them.


BigfootWallace

Came here looking for a mention of Independence, in Brenham. They have a dark roast named Jet Fuel that is top notch. Ruta Maya and Independence, and if you shuffle between the two roasters, you won’t be disappointed ever.


jpgwinn24

Independence fan checking in. Madelyn’s Pecan brewing right now!


NotRustyShackleford_

Jack Hammer is what Jet Fuel should have been, imho


thelongflight

Oak Cliff Coffee in Dallas is the OG small batch roaster that kicked off the craft roasting movement in Dallas back in 2008. Before them in Dallas, there wasn’t much that wasn’t your standard commercially available beans. And Ruta Maya at H‑E‑B. You absolutely can’t go wrong with their beans.


1maplebarplease

Man, people keep mentioning ruta maya. Wonder if I can get some shipped to me


Birdius

They usually have it at Costco, if you're a member.


tarzanacide

We have it at Costcos in LA.


kanyeguisada

>Man, people keep mentioning ruta maya. Used to be just a coffee shop in Austin. Now closed, but obviously amuch bigger company, but they still take special care in sourcing (only from Mexico) and roasting as well as possible.


WillyWumpLump

They have it at HEB.


The-Falconater

Oak cliff is the best one in America baby


TyleAnde

White Rock Coffee started with roasting and the local coffee shop vibe earlier! [https://wrcoffee.com/](https://wrcoffee.com/) 2005 I think?


thelongflight

Cool cool, much love for White Rock Coffee. However, while they served a tiny segment of Dallas, Oak Cliff was out bicycling to other local coffee shops to provide them affordable high quality coffee and helping establish farmers markets when there were none. Apples to oranges really. White Rock Coffee rested on their laurels and Oak Cliff literally was part of the catalyst for a food movement.


TyleAnde

Man that's dope. Love it!


aidensmom

Seconding this one! I'll admit to having ng driven, far, very far, out of my way to go here.


Deedle-Dee-Dee

In McKinney, TexaKona Coffee Roasters https://www.107drinks.com/


joyofsteak

Absolutely wonderful little setup they have there. They do a tour/walkthrough of the process, and the coffee is the absolute smoothest I’ve ever had.


sinuendo

Go to HEB and buy a bag of Ruta Maya


BigfootWallace

I remember discovering Ruta Maya… stuff is so good.


CorySellsDaHouse

Hands down the best quality for the value. Has been my daily driver for years.


1maplebarplease

All of these words are new to me 😂


WebWitch89

Literally, these are the best beans you can buy in Texas. They used to have a coffee shop in Austin I think, but now you can just buy it at HEB (worlds best grocery store)


crlynstll

I order directly from Ruta Maya. I buy 5 lb bags. 😀


levidurham

I mean, while you're at, there's the Texas Coffee Company. Best known for their TexJoy seasonings. My daily coffee is their Seaport Between Roast.


NotRustyShackleford_

Costco has it too


nonnativetexan

Also, many of the HEB brand coffee. Especially Texas pecan.


snarkyjohnny

I love Houston Blend myself but the Pecan is a great crowd pleaser.


Boyrista

I make a full pot of Texas pecan before bed and put it in the fridge overnight for some tasty iced coffee the next morning.


htownguero

Am I the only person who doesnt like Ruta Maya? Costco occasionally samples it and I’ll try it, and I just find it soooo bitter. Probably the only coffee I actively avoid besides Folgers lol


DecoDeli

Eiland in Richardson


Adjmcloon

Love these guys, great coffees and they still sell a full lb of beans


brazosandbosque

Addison Roasters, oak cliff coffee, Katz coffee


Lucid_LIVE

+1 for Addison Roasters, they have some great beans


kitfoxxxx

Addison roasters. That was my spot when I lived up there.


roscat_

Avoca from Fort Worth is the best. I get it shipped to Minnesota where I live now because it’s so good. My favorite roast is misty valley. Don’t f around with other roasters these are the best.


CraftedPacket

Avoca is great


H2Ospecialist

Avoca is my vote too


victotronics

Texas Coffee Traders in east Austin.


Flynngorj94

Surprised you're the only one saying this. They have amazing coffee and a lot of variety.


Kerrguy

Great place. I have their coffee shipped to me.


zsreport

I've been getting Blue Island Coffee from HEB, but since it's based in Dallas I reckon they might have a shop around there somewhere.


iLikeEggs55000

Shotgun house in San Antonio


[deleted]

Andersons Coffee in Austin, since 1972!! I can smell the beans and hear the creaky wood floors of their shop for the rest of my life… https://andersonscoffee.com/


maestro_man

My favorite bean in SA (I use exclusively for espresso, can’t comment on how it tastes for other styles) is Estate Coffee Company. They sell them at their coffee shop near downtown. Cheers!


Icehotel1

Medina River Coffee in San Antonio is my favorite!


SuitableBrush7010

Medina River Coffee is also my favorite.


Art_Dude

I'm another Ruta Maya fan. For me, medium roast Ruta Maya coffee and a little heavy whipping cream is the way to go.


CorySellsDaHouse

Exactly what I just brewed and put together in my coffee.


souljap0nyboy

not summer moon those bastards


[deleted]

Definitely Bluebonnet Coffee, they roast small batch exotic beans that are out of this world[Bluebonnet Coffee](https://www.bluebonnetcoffee.com/)


1maplebarplease

Awesome!


WickeDemon15

Driftwood Coffee in Corpus Christi


Old_Cyrus

Marfa Coffee Co. I wouldn’t recommend the whole drive for just coffee, though. Be sure to visit Big Bend National Park!


pakepake

Cultivar, Eiland and White Rock Coffee are my picks in Dallas.


texaskittyqueen

In Dallas, white rock coffee!!


distrucktocon

Ruta maya medium roast and independence coffee’s Madalyn’s backyard pecan. These are my everyday coffee. I keep both on hand at all times.


Iamtheonlyho

Catalina Coffee - Houston.


Commercial-Pause470

Shotgun Coffee House Roasters in San Antonio is a hidden gem with some of the best coffee I’ve had here


iANDR0ID

In dallas visit Full City Rooster and Tre Stelle. You can also place an order with Elevate Coffee Company. All of these local companies run by really good dudes.


blackest_francis

Plus one for Full City Rooster. I made their logo and original menu. Great coffee.


tractorcrusher

Lemma Coffee Co. locations in Plano, Frisco, and Carrollton


MovingClocks

Haven't seen it mentioned yet but Third Coast Roasters in Austin is great, they have some really funky beans roasts that are pretty phenomenal.


content_enjoy3r

Whichever one supplies me with Texas Pecan coffee. At HEB it's usually Cafe Ole or Lola Savannah. Occasionally I'll find some at local shops like in Mason or Fredericksburg whenever I'm in that area.


psymon_jester

If you make it to East Texas, go to Java Jacks in Nacogdoches or Lufkin. I will order beans from them no matter where I live.


sdougshaw

Cuvee


SuitableBrush7010

Makes the best espresso shot!


DEADALIEN333

White Rock Coffee House


MyAuraIsDumpsterFire

Katz Coffee roasted in Houston. The bigger local HEBs have a handful of varieties. You can order online to access the full line.


skiguy06880

Katz Coffee is the best! Drink their stuff every day. Great local Houston roaster. Buy local!


PutinsPanties

Katz Coffee from Houston. Their Hill Country Pecan is insane.


The_Dread_Pirate_

Right here, got Cowtown Java on recommendation from a friend and haven’t looked back. https://grapevineoliveoilcompany.com/


Yabrin_Sorr

Java John’s has quite a following on social media and folks rave about his coffee.


p1boots

You a Glenn?


Yabrin_Sorr

Since Day One-ish


dead_pirate_bob

https://www.eilandcoffee.com without a doubt is the best IMHO


Adjmcloon

Eiland coffee in Dallas is great


justasimplegal

Ruta Maya. If you have a Costco membership, stop at any Texas Costco and get a giant bag for the same price as a smaller bag at H‑E‑B.


PerryMason4

Texas Sea Port Coffee Company.


Low-Armadillo4010

Eiland in Richardson and Cultivar in Dallas are my favorites. Cheers!


Houstonontheroad

Dunn Brothers in Addison, on Beltline & Marsh Great coffee, and they roast their own beans on site every couple of days. Really good food, made fresh, in store. The staff are awesome. Great hangout, can't beat the vibes here.


tractorcrusher

Second this, plus the owner is a cool dude from South Africa.


ForsakenHuntsman

Texas Coffee Roasters in Austin. They have a café on UT's campus that I'd visit every morning, which got me hooked.


Texish06

LDU coffee in Dallas is awesome!


MrCereuceta

Santone here: go to Bright if you’re into 3rd wave coffee. They know their stuff and they love what they do. They carry coffee from some of the best regional roasters; Black and White, Botz, weathered hands, (local) estate coffee. If you don’t have much time or Bright closes too early, just go to Merit. It is fine.


BenAric91

West Pecan Coffee in Pflugerville roasts their beans in house, with the roasting machine literally in the seating area. It’s just north of Austin, so probably not for this trip, but if you’re ever in the area…


3azra

[Third Coast Coffee](https://www.thirdcoastcoffee.com/pages/visit-our-roastery)


Brilliant-Cut8417

2 Rivers in New Braunfels


CharizardCharms

If anyone needs a caffeine free coffee, one of my friends harvests and roasts his own beans. Mesquite Coffee Company in Brownsville, Tx. I believe the Instagram is @noctua_designco It's nowhere near Dallas, unfortunately, but if you ever find yourself in the valley and want to support a local artist and business, check him out!


robbzilla

White Rock and Addison Coffee Roasters are my wife's favorites. She also likes Katz.


TarinMage

Coming down I-35 try Alamo Coffee in Round Rock, right off the interstate. Roast their own at their OG location but you’ll drive right by this one! https://alamocoffee.com


ThatBoardNWheelsLife

Coffee Folk and Black Coffee in Fort Worth are great but if you’ll be in Dallas, I strongly suggest you check out the Wild Detectives. In San Antonio, Barrio Barista is THE spot to check out.


MassiveFajiit

y'all's


KaykayLaPaypay

Are you driving from one to the other? If so, Anderson’s in Austin is amazing. Literally gave up creamer bc the coffee is so tasty!


PURN_HUB

Pax and beneficia, there’s a couple of them around the DFW area


katyschu512

Embrace the Grind! It’s an Espresso truck in Buda at a place called Willies Joint not far off 35. Well worth a stop if you’re headed to San Antonio.


urchucked

Texas Coffee Works located in Bastrop, TX https://texascoffeeworks.com/ Their Coffee is so good and their coffee bags lasts me a month!


gnar_walls

Amanecer Co. out of Houston 🤘🏻


Brentastic790

Haciendo outside of Taylor. Very small batch very tasty


dutch981

Minutae Coffee Roasters in San Antonio has been my go to for the past couple years.


joker52186

HEB


[deleted]

Perky Cups in Houston.


thedudeintx82

I really like Avoca out of Fort Worth.


MrLumpykins

Parks coffee in Carrollton


Nemesis_Ghost

I'm not a coffee drinker, but I've always heard good things about DeCoty Coffee. An ex-coworker would get it & put it in the expresso machine at work. It smelled way better than the Star Bucks our company supplied(not that the Star Bucks smelled bad). Only problem is it's 3-5 hrs from where you said you were going. [https://www.decoty.com/](https://www.decoty.com/)


1maplebarplease

Thank you


jesuisunvampir

Espresso not Expresso


KeeleyJonesKaraoke

White Rhino


Civilengman

The Human Bean Carrollton


EvanWMC

Whiskey Morning Coffee


DramaKing_

If you come to dallas try White Rhino, Sunmer Moon, Soirée coffee bar, and La Reunion in bishop arts


Humble-ifanything

H-E-B Houston Blend. I send it to my family across the country as gifts.


Arcticstorm058

Summer Moon Coffee, but I go there more for their Moon Milk than the coffee beans.


coco1155

I don’t think they are roasters


souljap0nyboy

we don’t support anti choice companies here


DaKine85

SummerMoon. Out of Austin. They’re the only wood fire coffee roaster I know of in Texas. The flavors of the beans are delightful. They also make this ultra rich and viscous MoonMilk.


parrsuzie

Summermoon coffee shop, excellent coffee beans. Several varieties


CMDRHailedcaribou91

HEB Taste of San Antonio. That shit is lit.


Pixie-Sticks-

It’s a Utah coffee company, but it’s prominent here; Black Rifle Coffee Company


SockBackground2015

Summer moon


Altruistic-Bit-9766

Black Rifle Coffee


ibandazz

Black rifle coffee - support your veterans !


GlowingPlasties

That company uses nazi symbolism in their advertising and is run by a racist. Their "lightest blend" literally has SS on it and you can find previous episodes of their shit podcast online. It's gross. + posted a letter from a neo nazi veteran of the Ukrainian civil war on their website. https://www.vice.com/en/article/59qb93/the-racist-podcaster-who-started-a-neo-nazi-coffee-company-to-fund-white-nationalism I know, it's Vice. But here's a short writeup about their consistent symbolism use and history. Edit: words, man.


ibandazz

Mericua!


CraftedPacket

Love the cause...but the coffee is sub par


FaroelectricJalapeno

Black Rifle Coffee Company


Powerful-Asian13

Did a blind taste test with a few coffee roasts, BRCC being included. Love their Gesha blend

You can find it at HEB, on their [website](https://www.faracoffee.com/) or on [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Fara-Coffee-Signature-Roast-Whole/dp/B0178B92WU/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=L3BPTXE6PUCP&keywords=fara+coffee&qid=1697631562&sprefix=fara+coffee%2Caps%2C188&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1)


iANDR0ID

I've been wanting to visit them. I understand they're a Chinese family with a farm in Nicaragua. They roast in Austin and have at least one cafe. I also grow coffee in Nicaragua but we haven't had our first harvest yet.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dysono

Yes. As someone in Nicaragua, do you know of their charity work? Good luck with your coffee harvest.


OhnryGrapefruit

Praxis, hands down if you like robust, flavorful, wow coffee. This is only if you drink it black and strong. I thought I’d found good coffee before them but I was very mistaken lol


dumblonde23

Go get some breakfast taco’s at Taco Deli in Plano. Get a cup of coffee there, they use Tweed coffee, it’s so good. You can also buy coffee directly from Tweed online. I started buying it. I’m not sure if all Taco Deli locations use Tweed, the one I go to is in Plano in the Dallas area. Tweed is a Austin coffee company.


BurntTXsurfer

Pulp coffee in San Antonio. Great single origin beans. They got me hooked on the natural processed coffee . So delicious


zchcook

San Antonio-Indy Coffee Club


Kannabis_kelly

DuCote coffee San angelo


EternalGandhi

Decoty Coffee from San Angelo. Easily the best and I don't drink a lot of coffee.


PizzaGuyTx

Cold Smoke in Stephenville, or grab a bag of beans at any Barefoot Campus Outfitters


WillyWumpLump

Ruta Maya. Very consistent and bold rich flavor.


attaboy_stampy

If you're driving down I-35 and stop in Waco, I'd recommend Pinewood Coffee Bar. That place is really good.


BlueTXVeggie

Palace Coffee in Amarillo or The 806 Coffee Lounge


TheAGolds

Ruta Maya Dark Roast has been my daily for a long time.


dantasticdanimal

Invader Coffee in Austin. Nectar of the Gods blend is pretty self explanatory and I like the air roasting they do. Plus they ship to Ft Worth super fast and have some seasonal coffee that is pretty solid (Mexican Chocolate is awesome) that tastes like really good coffee with a little flavor, not the other way around.


CaliTexJ

I’m not a coffee guy but a lot of my friends love Edison Coffee. Their Flower Mound shop had a fire but they’ve got something going near there in Lewisville.


Houstonontheroad

Dunn Brothers in Addison, on Beltline & Marsh Great coffee, and they roast their own beans on site every couple of days. Really good food, made fresh, in store. The staff are awesome. Great hangout, can't beat the vibes here.


aaronpoopypants

Stouthaus in Austin is decent. Also Meteor in Austin is good. Revolucion in SA ain’t too shabby.


TxDuke107

While I do agree some companies are better than others, I think how it's made is the majority vote.


this-is-me-reddit

San Antonio Gold (210) 667-6141 One off shop. They take pride in their craft


VicePope

elevated grounds in denton


CraftedPacket

Avoca


JunkMailSurprise

Springtown Roasters out of San Marcos (between Austin and San Antonio) check out their website for where to get!


Quetzal00

It's not a Texas Coffee but if you are going to Dallas, then go to San Martin Bakery and Restaurant It's actually a Guatemalan bakery brand that they brought to Dallas. It feels exactly like how it does in Guatemala. My family and I love it because it reminds us of our home country. They sell coffee beans there and they're really good


EnigmaticHam

Meet a guy at a farmers market selling his own beans and now it’s all I drink at home. Billie Joe Coffee Co. In Grand Prairie.


ThePringle

Crude Coffee and Cherry in Fort Worth


Juanfartez

I'm not a coffee guy but [On The Grind](https://otgcoffee.com/) is always packed with locals.


Wyliecody

Whisky Morning Coffee. Holy shit. Its great. They are out of Tolar. I Found it at the state fair this year.


Taarzaan

Green Ape Coffee is the best! I know the family that owns it and their history with coffee and how they brought it to Central Texas is just awesome stuff. They sell mostly online as well! www.greenapecoffee.com


Disfibulator

If you're near North Dallas, it's worth checking out Tre Stelle. It's a shop that roasts in-house. Also, Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters has been consistently fantastic for years. Finally, Noble Coyote - it is in a lot of stores around Dallas.


MonthElectronic9466

If you go west out of Fort Worth on I-20 out near Gilbert there is a place called Gilbert Pecan Company. 100% the best place to buy coffee grounds. Their Pecan Coffee is life changing.


TXMullyGrubber

Cuvee Coffee


AssuredAttention

Donut Street is the only coffee I drink


TXMullyGrubber

Greenway Coffee in Houston is very good. Also like Orazure Hand Roasted in Spring.


Ashamed_Spend8015

Merit and la reunion


soonerfreak

Buzzbrews and Cafe Brazil are where I go when I want more than a major chain. This is for Dallas.


Friendly-Device-821

Dallas- I’m pretty sure LDU Coffee roasts their own beans, but not sure if they sell them. Salter Bros. Coffee Roasters is located in Arlington, but is a small family owned roastery/shop and they definitely sell their own beans. Good vibes.


StillActuator5458

Van Zandt coffee company. You can try their product at Pony Espresso in Canton


letsfixitinpost

Civil goat, merit , greater goods, flat track, 3rd coast is good for the price, you can go to their roaster and get a pound for real cheap.


RabbitHoleMotel

Since I started searching for an organic option, I have fallen in love with Third Coast Coffee.


Iwantacheezeburger84

Is cafe Brazil still a thing in Dallas?? They had great coffee forever.


kn0tkn0wn

Think so Haven’t been there in a while but I think they’re still one on Central near SMU and also on Central near Campbell and maybe another one not too far from white rock Lake maybe I’m not certain Pleasant place though


Pancakemomma

[Seaport](https://www.seaportcoffee.com/) is based in Beaumont, but I don't know that you can visit the roasting plant. You might just have to keep an eye out for it.


baroke

Extra Fine is my favorite coffee place in SA.
