This is a real nice place right by the Tower. It has very attractive indoor and outdoor seating areas with views of the park. Omelette and croissant breakfast sandwich were both excellent. Coffee was good too and they offer beer and wine options as well. Great place for single couples and families alike.

The reviews did not disappoint. Staying on the river walk and this 8 minute walk was so worth it to enjoy the coffee, pastries, and outdoor vibe of CommonWealth Coffeehouse.

I walked here from my hotel every morning while in town for a conference. The morning walk combined with the lovely environment at Commonwealth, and delicious food and espresso drinks, was a delightful start to the day. I highly recommend stopping here instead of getting coffee at your hotel if you’re visiting San Antonio.

My daughter and I had the honey lavender iced latte. It was probably the best coffee that I’ve ever had! This place does not disappoint. I was looking for a place with pastry items and the croissant and cheese danish were exceptional.

Delightful!! Were coffee connoisseurs and try small local spot whenever we travel. This spot didnt disappoint. I had a double shot espresso with honey lavender and it was awesome. And the best part was our server. We didnt get her name but she was fantastic! Great personality, super friendly and accommodating. Well be back for sure!

This is a great little spot. Tons of space to work or gather with friends. The coffee was pretty tasty. The vibe js super chill and you could definitely get some work done here and not be bothered. I didn’t have the food but it looks like they have some delicious options.

Still dreaming about the breakfast here the croissants were light & airy they just melt in your mouth and the omelet so so fluffy,perfectly yellow and buttery, and the bacon oh the BACON both soft and crispy. If you find yourself starving one morning in SAN ANTONIO dont say you dont know where to go and eat!! I will be back

This is a neat coffee shop near Himsfair Park. The Cuban sandwich is the best Ive ever had. You can also buy wine by the glass or bottle. And there is beer too. Its a comfortable space to dine and the staff is very polite. This is a nice spot to get breakfast or lunch. And the breads are freshly made.

Very pleasant setting and decent food & coffee. Avocado toast is basic white toast with dont sliced avocado then an egg for an extra buck - dont recommend this, but there are some other options on their menu that look better.

Great place for breakfast. Your Oder your food at the counter, then you find your own seating and then they bring the food out to you!! The food was amazing and the ambiance was good!! Had a sax guy playing during our time there and was very chill!! We waited about 15 mins in line but definitely worth the wait!!

We stopped by San Antonio on our way headed back home to Houston. We wanted good breakfast and 2 popular spots we like to try were packed and long wait with 3 kids is not good for us.I googled and found this gym in such a great location next to an amazing park for our kids! We not only enjoyed the amazing food located in a house (which we love similar to our hometown in Houston Heights) we also enjoyed a sax player at the park and our kids joined in on some music interaction with these nice guys!The atmosphere was great, the line moved quick to walk up and order, then find a table. The mocha latte with almond milk was good, the chocolate croissant was delish!! The French toast and omelette on their Saturday brunch was also very Good!! I loved how they created a kitchen for all to see in this home and that the front and back patio are spots to eat! We will surely come back! Super awesome customer service Too! 🤗

What a lovely little shop. This is not the place to be in a hurry. Everything from waiting to ordering to food delivery is at a leisurely pace. On the edge of this amazing little park it should be no other way. Stop and live in the moment. Savor your coffee, appreciate the food ( crepes and croissants this visit).

The location has nice outdoor seating. I came for the outdoor seating but the food and drinks were great. Tacos were great and the tortillas are homemade. Crepes were good. Considering how big the line can get they are very quick at moving the line. 👍🏽

This place is so beautiful, looks like a dream came true, absolutely in love and coming back for sure. We grab a cappuccino and a latte with oat milk, they have wine selections, food and delicious croissants. Everything was on point. I cant believe we have places like this one so close to us and no one talks more about it, every part of the shop every wall, oh God I just love it. Croissants are good but I wish mine was warm or toasted, I learned that I have to ask for it that way since the beginning or they throw yours and get one new, I didnt want mine too be tossed and then grab a new one just to make it warm so next time Ill ask for it on time ☺️

It’s a fun area with garden chess, water spouts to cool off in, patio tables and seating, and delicious food and coffee, especially the weekend brunch. They do run out of items on the weekend, so don’t sleep in too late if you want a particularly popular item that they offer.

Review №24

The inside seating here is a little bit sparse, but the patio seating overlooking the park is gorgeous. The pastries here are phenomenal, just like the location up off of Davis, and the Cubano sandwich was stellar (maybe could have benefited from a tinge of spicy mustard, but otherwise perfect). Also, the chocolate walnut croissant was delicious and soft and flaky and you need to go have one right now.

Really good coffee and their pastries are SO GOOD. Highly recommend their chocolate cinnamon swirl and the chocolate croissant. Staff are friendly and helpful and we got our food to go without a giant wait. While theyre pretty speedy, be forewarned that this place can get really busy so go early or you may have a little bit of a wait. (Those pastries are totally worth the wait!)

Beautiful layout. When we arrived, it was packed with customers. I did like the fact that they had a separate line for just the drink orders. I ordered a signature drink....white chocolate and macadamia nut. It was good, but really couldnt taste the coffee. My wife ordered some food and the food was good. Overall good experience!

Review №32

Appreciate a menu that goes beyond sweet pastries and includes savories like the Croque Monsieur and Croque Madame (bread plus cheese plus meat plus egg, in the case of the latter).Wish the establishment kept its juices better stocked - we would’ve spent more moola (and hence an even higher 25% tip) if there’d been more than a single solitary kid’s juice pack in the fridge when we arrived around 10-ish AM.

Went to get a cup of coffee on a walk this place looks different than Starbucks which was the goal. But its really a restaurant and not a coffee place. The line was wrapped around the building at 10:00 a.m. I really did not want to go to Starbucks this morning. But this is not a Starbucks alternative.

We absolutely LOVED CommonWealth!! What a gem you have, San Antonio! The people behind the counter were courteous, diligent, and service was excellent! While the insides were a bit dark for my wife, who is visually disabled, getting around was pretty easy. The grounds were very well taken care of and you could tell they took pride in their service! If we are ever back in San Antonio, well be stopping by again! Well done!

Order was packaged quickly and arrived on time. The lavender latte was so tasty! Not to sweet, just right. I love that oat milk is an option. The baked oatmeal was great with plenty of fresh fruit.

Review №51

This is actually the worst customer service I’ve experienced EVER. After ordering the avocado toast, it came with none of the toppings described and after the menu says an egg is included, they wanted to charge extra on top of the already $9 piece of bread. I opted out on this. When it came to the table, it was a scoop of prefab avocado mash with some sprouts and like 3 chili flakes. No silverware. So I asked for some silverware to which the waitress looked at me like it wasn’t in her job description. She begrudgingly brought some to the table. I then asked for some chili flakes, not even asking for toppings listed on the menu that they left out. Just a few chili flakes to have any kind of seasoning. 5 minutes later she brought it. We were never asked if we needed anything. We tipped 20% of our bill when we got there (you pay and then sit). I’m not sure why they even deserve a tip since it’s clean up after your self and they didn’t do anything. Overpriced food. Horrible service. If you’re going to charge that much, at least include what’s on the menu and hire decent staff.

Review №54

We came to this location at about 1:30pm on Monday, July 5, 2021. We were informed while ordering that there were no eggs or cheese so half of the menu was out of the question. When we did get our food, one of the sandwiches was supposed to come with avocado and it did not. We only remembered it was supposed to come with avocado when a server came out and informed another customer that they couldn’t make her sandwich because they didn’t have avocados. We also only got chips with two out of three of our sandwiches. Very underwhelmed and disappointed since we spent $60 on three sandwiches and two drinks (that didn’t come out until we were almost done with our sandwiches) and previously, this has been a place I very much enjoyed. We will most likely not be coming back.

Coffee is on point!! They offer a variety of dairy options to put in your coffee. We came on a Saturday morning and they had brunch, I got a taco and the strawberry waffles. Everything was delicious the taco is massive. The food was very fresh. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The place it self is very cute they have a large out door seating area and doggies are welcome.

We have missed Commonwealth so much! Got our first vaccine today, and celebrated with some of the best coffee ever. I love their iced lattes (no flavor needed; the coffee is that good!) or a regular hot latte if I am in the mood for a hot drink (with raspberry - doesnt need it, but its so good). Their food it great, too. A blueberry muffin or chocolate croissant is a perfect match for the coffee. Their chicken salad and bechamel croissants are both amazing, too.

Amazing location! The food is delightful and yummy. The baristas are so nice. I love the artwork on the walls! They have a nice selection of books, if you want a little reading material while you sip your coffee. The parking lot is not too far away from the shop, its a nice little walk. Have I mentioned how good the food is?? The chicken tarragon salad is by far, my favorite. The pastries are amazing too! My favorite part of this location? Theyre open on Sundays! Hello my new brunch spot

Food was pretty good but unfortunately the staff forgot about our Lattes. Received our food, ate it and still hadn’t received our lattes. So I reminded the staff they apologized and still no lattes. Finally had to stand there and watch them make the latte to receive it. Could of been worse the couple who arrived right before us did not receive anything to the point where they demanded a refund. Ironically the owners where sitting there right next to us and didn’t notice the entire incident.

I wish I had taken photos so just take my word for it. We typically try non-chain places when on vacation but thought Id give Commonwealth a shot since it was a very short 5-7 minute walk from the hotel. What a great little cafe!!! Took the food back to the hotel (I surprised my wife with breakfast in bed). Had the Croissant Bechamel and a strawberry and blueberry cheese pastry for each of us along with 2 white chocolate macadamia chai lattes. WOW!!! This place is wonderful!! There about 8 people in front of me but they made the hot food to order and did it in short time. If you like sitting on a patio, their patio is large and shaded but with a quaint feel like a French bistro feel to it. Staff was extremely pleasant as well. Would definitely go here again.

OMG! OMG! They have a beautiful chicken coop with four chickens that are literally stressed to death from lack of water. It is Monday, June 7, 2021 at 4pm, 90°F and they have no water!!!! One is dead. I gave the other 3 my two granddaughters bottled water and reported this horrifying incident to the sole clerk in the coffee shop. She was unable and/or unwilling to do anything. She says maintenance takes care of the hens. She did not have a key to open the coop to give water. I suggested she call the owner, her manager, maintenance, someone to help these poor hens whose lives are entrusted to such haphazard care. It was a terrible atrocity to witness after a wonderful visit to Yanaguana Park. I was absolutely horrified by the lack of attention and care for these lovely, but helpless hens.

CommonWealth left us with some mixed emotions after our first visit today. My wife and I both ordered coffees today (2/21). After we ordered we were directed to sit outside and they will bring us our order. About 20minutes went by and my wife went inside to check on our lates as we were wondering if we misheard them and we were supposed pick up our order. It was actually discovered that our order was never processed. Staff quickly rectified the situation and actually refunded the original transaction. Oddly enough, the couple who ordered right behind us then went to check on their order as it was never delivered either. Not sure if this is a common issue but definitely seems like something that could be addressed in the future.My wife and I loved the outdoor seating area, we are definitely jealous that we don’t live closer to this place. Seems like a great place for a shot of espresso, pint of beer, or a glass of wine.

Very cute and aesthetic place with retro light fixtures and marble tables. Smells amazing when you walk in. There’s plenty of seating inside and outside on their patio which is a nice plus. Four stars because they didn’t have iced coffee even though it was on their menu and the iced americano I got instead was way too diluted with water. The waitress was nice and gave me a free dessert with my drink.
