Pink Cappuccino — Restaurant in San Antonio

So sad. So disappointed. This is not a coffee shop. It’s an overhyped instagram photo-op that uses the color pink to trick women into thinking it’s a fabulous spot to have brunch. Nothing could be further from the truth. Inside it’s a dump. The decor is cheap, uncoordinated, mismatched, and very dated. It almost feels like a flea-market. The worst part of all, though, is the coffee, food and service. My god. If you like coffee, don’t come here. If you love coffee and know how to make good coffee, run as fast as you can away. This is not the place for those of us who know what actual coffee is. Whoever is running this place has never made a latte, cappuccino, or an espresso shot in their life. The staff do not speak English, so already there’s a language barrier that prevents communication from clearing up misunderstandings and wrong orders. All of the drinks are made to be colored pink. When I asked what exactly makes them pink, the barista gave an answer akin to “it’s a pink powder flavoring”. Okay…what flavor? What’s the powder made of? I would like to know what I’m ingesting…? The two coffee drinks we ordered were the saddest. My friend’s was an iced latte. It was served in an ill-suited non-beverage glass and was filled to the brim with the kind of ice your home refrigerator makes. The first sip through the straw was ALL syrup. It was disgusting, shocking, and off putting to say the least. The entire “iced latte” had maybe three sips left because it was all home freezer ice. Mine was an iced matcha latte, same thing, first sip was all syrup, which made me physically gag and spit it out. It was SO thick and strange in texture and mouth feel. The mystery pink powder they mix into the drinks is gritty, has an awful after taste, and makes you feel gross for having consumed it. The food: I ordered a plain croissant, which was pictured on their photograph-heavy menu with butter and jam on the side. I was served an H-E-B microwaved croissant with powdered sugar on top. No butter. No jam. When I asked for some, the also-non-native English speaking female, who seemed to me to be the manager or even owner, acted as if she had no clue what I was asking for or why. “Jam? Huh?” She responds with “we have some strawberry cream cheese?” Uh. No. Cream cheese doesn’t go on a croissant. But at this point, after seeing the quality of the “food”, what was I honestly expecting from a place like this? My friend’s breakfast croissant was an egg and cheese croissant, no ham, it came with ham. It was served with lays potato chips. It too was microwaved. It felt like eating at your friend’s house as a kid. It was…poor. Sad. Gross. Not worth the $35 spent on two iced lattes and two croissants. We didn’t finish our drinks, left them completely full, and took less than four bites of our food. When the manager came by and asked how we were doing, we pointed at the table of uneaten and unfinished food/drink and made an uncomfortably yuck face. Nothing was done or offered. Never again. Would never recommend. Gross all around. Cheap. Fake. Yuck. I’m sad I had my birthday...

Was so excited to find a coffee shop that was not Starbucks or Merit. So we went here with high hopes and we were very disappointed. We stood at the counter for awhile before anyone acknowledged us, the person taking our order was really nice though. I ordered a strawberry croissant which was supposed to have cream inside, my croissant was dry with a few strawberries on top and cold. My drink was mostly foam and was cold when I got it, I ordered a hot drink. My friend got a latte and he said all he tasted was milk. I love the ambiance of this place, so I will wait a month or so and try again. They also don’t have any decaf, which is shocking for a coffee place. The menu has no pictures of drinks so you have no idea what drink you’re getting and what it will look like, so it’s a guessing game. I want this place to do well but they need to up the flavor and customer service. Maybe even hire some kitchen staff so the drinks aren’t cold when they reach the customer. It looked like one person was...

My wife is a FANATIC of PINK. The ambiance was perfect, the decor and signage was sooooo cool. My mother in law was visiting Texas after 10+ years so we planned our visit to this coffee shop for the first time. There was a nice selection of coffee and beverages as well as some warm eats. I ordered a Pink Matcha Frappe and a Turkey and Cheese Croissant. Mom ordered a Pink Lemonade and also a Turkey Croissant. My wife had a Pink Matcha on ice and a peach crape. My frappe tasted like milk...all milk no other flavor. My wife's drink tasted like Strawberry Nestle's Quik. My M.I.L's lemonade was very very tart tasting like Country Time Lemonade. Yes, we did continue to drink our drinks and not complain for the sake of MIL visit. The sandwiches were decent, and my wife crape was untouched after the first bite. My 3 stars rating are for a definite visit for the photo opportunities...
