Spotted Deer Coffee Company — Restaurant in Fair Oaks Ranch

Been here probably four times over the past two years - not only is this place very expensive but I have never received a palatable drink, although I keep giving them a second chance out of convenience. I usually order a hot latte, today I ordered it iced so it's just a little easier for the barista. I realized the issue today when the barista held my cup up and it was more than half full with the espresso shot they just pulled. When I saw this I almost asked to cancel the order and get a refund, which I regret not doing. Then I watched them fill it up with ice and put a splash of milk on top. I know every coffee shop might make their drinks differently, but this is not a latte. A latte should be majority milk. The espresso should not be half of the drink. This shop does not know how to use an espresso machine. They need a machine that tamps and pulls a shot for the barista by a push of a button, these children don't know how to pull a proper shot. There should be less water used per shot. Having spent $7 before tip it seems almost disrespectful to be given the drink they gave me, which I didn't even drink. The shop is cute, the baristas friendly, they get good quality beans from What's Brewing, they just don't know how...

My experience was awful in every way. Unsafe conditions, not following Bexar County or CDC guidelines for social distancing. The girl making my drink breathed directly into it. No employees were wearing masks. The cashier is 1ft away from as you check out and he also was not wearing a mask. I contacted the owner and received a very rude response. I stopped by to support a local business during this difficult time and will not ever be supporting this business again. I recommend supporting Parker’s ice cream instead. The staff there is always safe with hand washing, wearing masks, and...

White mocha was really good and the scones were heavenly. Was very pleasantly surprised by that. Good little spot in Fair Oaks.

Update: don't go here if you're in a rush. It's been painfully slow the last few times I've come. Today, the lady taking orders was incompetent. I ordered a hot drink and had to tell her twice it was hot cuz she kept trying to use a iced cup. Then she dropped my scone on the floor. Also, if you order a scone, you'll likely have to remind the person behind the counter to give it to you...
