Rainy Days With Amanda

   Press Coffee @ The Enclave ☕  11103 West Ave Suite 302, San Antonio, TX 78213   I've been to Press Coffee off Broadway and I absolutely adore going out there, especially on a cloudy, rainy day. This was my first time at their enclave location. The parking was tight, but once you step into the cozy quarters of this cafe, you suddenly forget. you were fighting for a parking spot.  Press Coffee at The Enclave has done it's best to bring the charm of their first location into this new location and I feel that it has paid off. The space is open, with plenty of seating and charging spots. They also boast a pretty nice patio that will be perfect for when the temps are cooler. The coffee and the morning treats were both excellent and I loved the ambiance of the whole building. Sure, it's not a greenhouse like it's parent location, but it doesn't make it any less of a great place to crack open your laptop or a book and enjoy some nicely brewed coffee.  💻 https:/...

 It's my birthday month and I'm back with more coffee shops that you should check out in San Antonio!  Folklores Coffee House  ☕ 106 Michigan Ave, San Antonio, TX 78201 I found Folklores because I needed a coffee shop close to where I needed to meet up for a work event and I'm glad I stopped by! Folklores is a small coffee shop filled with gothy. new wave posters and shares a space with a charcutier business. There are a few tables to sit at, but each table is pretty big, so you can bring a group of people or have a mom coffee date like the people sitting in front of me were doing. Speaking of, they have a whole table of stuff for kids, which I appreciate as a new parent.  The coffee collection is small but mighty. I got a latte and was very happy with my pic. If you need a little pick-me up and maybe some nice cheese, stop on by Folklores. They also cater! 💻  https://folklorescoffeehouse.square.site/ Zen Haus ☕  119 Heiman St #200, San Antonio, TX 78205 ...

    Poppy's Coffee House  ☕ 6417 Evers Rd, San Antonio, TX 78238 Poppy's Coffee House is a cute little (but kind of big) coffee shop in the Leon Valley area. It was actually at a place that my husband and I used to frequent but sadly didn't survive after the pandemic (RIP Leon Valley Cafe 😭). This coffee shop is located inside a n actual house and is decorated in Snoopy memorabilia (which we LOVE), along with knitted cup holders, groovy colors, and different types of seating. There are fun coffee's, teas, and other drinks to try along with some great pastries. The last time I visited, I ordered a cheese and spinach pastry with a nice cold green tea with honey. Simple, I know, but I did try their strawberry acai refresher and I wasn't a fan, mainly because it has sparkling water and I'm just not into sparkling water. Other than, I love this spot and it's a newer spot that you should visit sometime soon. 💻 https://poppyscafe.net/ Shotgun House Coffee Roaste...

 Hey Ya'll! I'm happy to be back with another list of coffee shops or you to try this month! I'm getting in all my coffee shop time right now as I will be a new mom in just about 5 more weeks, give or take, and I'm not sure how much time I will have to go out to coffee shops, at least for the following couple of months. Anyways, it's fall!! Kind of. Doesn't feel like it, but here in Texas, we like to pretend. Gravves Coffee ☕ 2106 McCullough Ave, San Antonio, Texas 78212 If you're looking for something a little more goth to grab your coffee, you've come to the right place. Gravves Coffee offers a great selection of fun coffee concotions, including their Elixir drink that is purple because it's made with ube! They also now offer affogato, which is coffee and ice cream and something I've discovered in other places, but not really here in the San Antonio area.  As far as the space, it's in a good size warehouse, which I love. The bathroom is cl...

 Hey Ya'll! Thanks for coming back and checking out some awesome coffee shops around the San Antonio area. If you're new, welcome! I usually write book reviews, or book talks as I call them, and sometimes random thoughts, but I just started this coffee series, so we'll see how it grows and expands. Without further ado, here are three coffee shops you should visit this month and any other month in San Antonio.    Sip & Sit With Me Coffee House ☕  3244 Mission Rd, San Antonio, TX 78214   I was on the southside of town for work and afterward, I was looking for a cold drink. I looked up some spots and this cute little shop popped up, so I decided to give it a try. It was a hot day, so I'm glad that as soon as I walked in, there was cold air blowing in the little house-turned-coffee shop. From upon entry, the baristas were very welcoming, and even though I got a cold Jasmine Blossom tea, I was surprised to see so many syrups to choose from your coffee (and I gues...

 Hey Ya'll! So during one of the nights that I woke up at 4am and couldn't go back to sleep, I thought to myself, "Hmm, maybe I should do a little coffee shop series on my blog." If you don't follow me on social media, then you probably don't know that I go to a lot of coffee shops around town and frequently post them. There's a certain comfort that coffee shops bring to me and it's one of those little joys in life that I treat myself to almost once a week. What do I do at these coffee shops? Work, write, read, and enjoy being out around the town.  Anyway, here are a few coffee shops you should check out this month in no particular order.   Bright Coffee  ☕  1705 Blanco Rd, San Antonio, TX 78212 Bright coffee is an art hub, a community gathering spot, and a place to grab some coffee, tea, and giant pastries in the morning. I discovered Bright Coffee one day when I was looking for coffee shops and I've been coming back ever since. They have a nice ...
