PRESS Coffee @ The Enclave — Restaurant in San Antonio

Me and femme get coffee and kolaches. All predictably regular and calm like any strip mall coffee shop then WHAM all the scorn and disdain left over from what tree-protester movements used to paint the walkways of the world is lobbed at my girlfriend and I because I didn't realize their little stickers on the counter weren't free....

I have never stolen anything from a coffee shop in my life, much less a -sticker- but you'd swear I ripped a piece of stucco out of the ceiling of the sistine chapel with how aggressssssssively rude the staff acted when I said I'd pay for it on the way out. One of the counter girls literally goes to the back and gets the manager to usher me up to the cashier box while I'm mid conversation sitting on their very stiff sofa chairs with my girlfriend. The only reason I didn't eat their sticker (which sadly was too big for my phone), throw my coffee at the ceiling and start angry breakdancing was that I know my lady hates public conflict and I'm not even that good a breakdancer

I have been to enough 'my-dissertation-on-kant-is-smarter-than-yours' coffee dens over the years to have a decent amount of patience with the managerial demographics of these spots, but noooo amount of practice could have prepared me for the sheer absurdity of this morning. very curb your enthusiasm kind of day

In all seriousness, I am the kind of guy who will go back into a restaurant to order again because i see a hungry person on the curb outside. Never one to intentionally take bread out of someone's mouth, much less an artist...

If you can spell "macchiato," can't you spell "a-c-c-i-d-e-n-t?"

Good lavender latte...

Stay away from this place (both locations) if you want to show up there and ask for a sandwich only to be told that they have already sold out their day’s quota and cannot sell tomorrow’s supply because the owner gets really upset, and that is their policy. We first went to their West Ave location two weeks ago on our way to get a massage (very close to them). We ate a sandwich and a quick-like dish. They were good but nothing to write home about. The following week we were on Broadway and saw they were there, too, so we went in to ask for coffee and sandwiches only to be told they had one sandwich even though we saw more in their fridge. When we asked, the girl said it was the strict policy of their owner to not sell the supply of the following day and that they get really upset. We just could not believe what we heard and just figured it was an Alamo Heights snob thing. Today, we went to get massages again near the West Ave location and went in again to get sandwiches and coffee only to be told the same by the manager at that location.

We have traveled many places in the world and all the states, and NEVER had we been told that a restaurant, fast food, coffee shop etc. would not sell their supply because they would keep it for the next day’s business.

Save your money, time, gas, and expectations and definitely take them somewhere else in this big town with all the coffee...

Was super excited to try this place and anxiously awaiting for them to open, but unfortunately when we finally went in I found myself disappointed with the experience. The barista was so nice, but the lady who took my order acted like I was an inconvenience to be in there. I didn’t feel very welcomed. Sad too cause this just opened right by my house and I was looking forward to a new coffee shop. Also the coffee was just okay. Not the worst, but definitely not what I expected from a local coffee shop for that price.

Edit: Owner responded and it feels a little back handed and condescending. I wasn’t the person who asked about if the beans were roasted. I literally don’t even know who you’re talking about. You barely even talked to me at all so I kept it short and easy. I was respectful the whole time and just came in, ordered my drink and expressed my exact experience with it. I wasn’t upset or mad at all. Just putting up a review. I would’ve given another chance especially with how close you are to me, but that response felt demeaning and assuming who I was. Switched from 3 to 1 star. That response told me all I needed to know about...
