CommonWealth Coffeehouse & Bakery

Cute coffee shop! First of all, I love the playlist. Makes the vibe super hipster and comfy. I really love the attention to detail for the interior design. From the teal tiles on the ceiling, the the cool pattern tiles on the walls. I feel like I would love to decorate my house just like this coffee shop!

The matcha latte is top notch. Definitely one of the best ones I’ve had. We tried their lunch and really enjoyed it as well. I do thing the bread on the sandwiches are a little too toasted. They hurt the roof of my mouth to bite. I also wish the tomato soup was a lot warmer.

One thing that stands out to me most is the smell.. and not in a good way. It almost smells like mothballs or urine. I think it would really benefit this place to light some candles or have some plug ins. The smell, to me, is a major turn off upon entering.

Other than that, I loved my visit here. The staff are kind, quick and it’s a great hang out spot to work for the day.

This place lives up to the hype! It’s in a charming old house, with a tonnnn of tables and chairs to post up in the front and back, as well as inside. They have a ton of coffee options and pastries, in addition full on breakfast food available to order. I got their almond croissant and was very, very happy. The staff is quick with your order, super friendly, and they do a good job of keeping the place nice and tidy despite people coming and going at all times. This coffeehouse would be a great spot to work on your laptop or read book. They have a chicken coop in the back and a full parking lot. Highly recommend!

I had an amazing experience at this cafe! The food was absolutely delicious, with such a chill vibe. As a coffee lover, I’m thrilled with the unique coffee options they offered (honey lavender iced latte was my favorite one🪻🍯).

It's the perfect spot to have a meeting, enjoy with friends, or just go on your own. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Such a good experience. Nice people. Awesome venue. Ideal for Sunday brunch and drinks. I can't say one negative thing about this place, they have got it right in every respect, not least the chicken coop in the backyard and the gorgeous house that they're in. The drinks are great; food fresh; people friendly - what's not to love? Real asset to San Antonio. Make sure you go.

We ordered a couple latte’s the croissant béchamel, egg and cheese croissant, and crêpe.

The food was amazing. The service was exceptional and the kids love the chickens and atmosphere.

Highly recommend if you’re in the area.

Such a cute spot. It was the chicken coupe for me. I had the Dill Chicken Salad Croissant and it was so good. The croissant was soft and the chicken salad had cranberries in it. So good. I wanted a smoothie but they were out. Next time though.

I looked up “best coffee shops to study at near me” and this was the spot! Delicious coffee and tasty pastries. The staff was really nice. The overall atmosphere of the space was laid back with some relaxing indie music in the background. I’ll definitely be going again!

We sat down around 9am and it was not busy which was nice. Beautiful interior and exterior seating areas. There were many dogs there that were friendly and not barking. For the food, today the quiche was a bit overcooked but flavor was there. The tacos and crepe were good. But the best was the Danish and bread. Must try the baked goods. That's where it's at! I enjoyed the people that worked there also. Genuinely friendly was the vibe. Thanks again for a great experience all around and I will be back with more friends next time ;)
5 starts for sure.

We loved this quaint café with a French flair. The Croque Madame sandwich was superb with thick layers of cheese and ham. We split it and were comfortably satisfied. Everything looked tasty. The latte was generous and hot.

Nice patio seating and lots of off street parking. This is a perfect stop before or after a visit to the McNay Museum.

DELISH. Cutest coffee shop I’ve ever been to. Food was good too! I got an omelette and tried the chocolate croissant. Cute tableware, nice workers, even fresh flowers on the tables. Offers alcohol too! TRY THE SPICED CARAMEL WHITE CHOCOLATE MOCHA LATTE!

Delicious Lattes and The Prettiest Breakfast Tacos!

Commonwealth Coffee is a small local chain, unique to San Antonio that is often involved in philanthropic projects: Their signature lattes are creative, tasty, and beautiful, served in large cups.

The breakfast tacos are served on beautiful china; and the Davis St location is an old home: Cozy, comfortable, and inviting.

Their pastries were created by a real life French Pastry Chef; and they have a full lunch menu after 11 am.

This location is a bit hidden, but across from UIW Campus. I've been visiting here since 2018, and absolutely love it every time. ♥

I have been stationed here for about 2 months now and have eaten at dozens of self proclaimed "coffee houses" or "cafes".

I'm from Washington state where we LOVE our coffee. There's a stand or coffee shop on just about every street corner, and no one can agree who has the best coffee in town.

That being said, this is the first coffee place I have visited since moving to Texas that has Pacific Northwest quality coffee. 11/10, highly highly recommend.

Oh, and I mustn't forget about the bakery / deli items. The avocado toast (I added egg and smoked salmon) was delicious and the bechamel, well I think the picture speaks for itself but it was delightful as well!

Fell upon this little gem by accident. Had family in town and they wanted to find an outdoor breakfast place. Not only did Commonwealth have quality ingredients but beautiful plating, beautiful plates, beautiful decor. Fine dining quality food with very reasonable pricing. Can't wait to return and try something new!

Have you ever been to a cafe with chicken coop outside? Well, CommonWealth is that place! Seeing the staff eating the food that they prepare in the kitchen themselves was so reassuring that they serve high quality food. With lots of free parking, clean washrooms, and beautiful atmosphere, CommonWealth is one of the best cafes I ever been to in Texas.

What a gorgeously decorated Cafe.

Just beautiful backyard and front as well.

The inside is clean and the staff were nice as well.

We ordered coffee, cinnamon roll, and sweet croissant, and a ham and cheese sandwich served on a croissant right before they stopped serving food.

It hit the spot for our lunch break.

So glad we got to visit.

Would definitely come back on a nice day and try to sit out front by the water fountain.

The food was amazing, we got a croissant sandwich and omelette. I also got a cortado to drink, and everything was good. My wife and I were wondering how were they making the eggs taste so good. When we stepped out we saw they had chickens in the back! Talk about fresh eggs

Their avocado toast,croissant sandwiches,egg omelettes and side bread are the best. Love the atmosphere,it reminded me of some Paris Cafe's. And yes..coffee is great too!

This place is nice. I've never been here before. it's very quaint and cozy The location is a little weird if you don't know there's parking behind the house. You'll think you have to park on the street. love that they have a chicken coop and beautiful chickens back there. I recommend checking it out it's worth it.

CommonWealth Coffeehouse has changed quite a bit since I was there last. Now serving alcohol and more meal-like dishes. The interior is a little cramped so if you like some room I would recommend sitting outside. But overall the pastries were delicious, the food was good, and the hot drinks were lovely. The atmosphere is very French Chic.

It’s an amazing cozy place, located in middle of Alamo heights. The place has two terraces, one on the front and the other on the back. They offer great bakery options try the croissants the one with almond it’s great. We order the avocado toast try it.
