El Tigre Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in San Antonio

I’ll start with when I walked in. It’s a hot San Antonio day and I’m hit with a blast of cool air and just like the sign outside says “vibes”, which are certainly good ones. El Tigre is a colossal step up from their upstairs neighbors, but that’s another review for another time. Enough chit chat. I ordered the brown butter latte with whole milk. I’m glad I did I have never had anything like and it’s definitely worth ordering again mellow and sweet with savory notes from the brown butter. I also had their matcha tea with almond milk and honey which turned out to be so smooth and very much so complemented the matcha’s earthy and aromatic flavor. Lastly their doughnut (vegan) was great, not too sweet and really spongy, like a banana bread doughnut of sorts. By the way their baked goods are sourced from a local bakery by the name of Cake Thieves, who do have vegan and non vegan options. The dine in experience was awesome the whole place is a vibe. The layout is open and the decor is easy on the eyes, from the acme style brick walls and the lovely art work posted, El Tigre is a place to unwind from a long day, week, year etc. All in all great experience and before I forget, Bre was an amazing barista with great energy and most definitely added to the wonderful experience. Thank you El Tigre...

Starting with the positives, I liked the interior and atmosphere of this spot. It’s an improvement from the previous coffee spot here.

The coffee absolutely missed the mark. I got a cappuccino and a latte, both tasted like pure milk and were not enjoyable. Both drinks were missing the vanilla, which would’ve been fine had the drinks tasted like coffee instead of milk.

I enjoy El Tigre’s Austin location, but was quite disappointed with this location. If I try again I may update...

What a let down. Only customer in there. Ordered a matcha coffee and a bacon egg cheese taco. Match was made, but the taco was not because the counter person was too busy talking with someone. She forgot my taco so had to wait longer. Then I get my taco and its wrong. No bacon.

How hard is it to pay attention?

Not worth it for me to drive back and complain.

This was an easy order and it was messed up.

Do better. Tipped yall 20% and it...
