Olla express cafe

Chill place to grab a coffee and breakfast. It's inside a big, old house. There's plenty of space to hang out. Their drink menu has a lot of variety. We had the fuego latte, golden milk, Mexican biscuit with jam, and zucchini bread. The fuego latte had a nice hint of chili, but nothing to overpower the drink. It's a nice change of pace. The biscuit and bread were quite filling. I'm a big fan of this place and will be back to try different things on the menu.

I love this place! The coffee is the best and it offers a variety of natural flavors like cinnamon, cardamom and piloncillo.

Extremely cute and vibey coffee shop! They have a wide variety of lattes and desserts including horchata mazapán iced coffee, mole chocolate latte, and one with chocolate and chile. They happened to have tamales when I went to work on my computer, which were SO delicious, homemade and wrapped in traditional banana leaf. I will say it’s a bit smaller so it doesn’t accommodate too many people but it is very nicely decorated and they have speedy service so perfect for to-go orders!

I tried their Café de Olla Latte with espresso and along with a English Muffin ham and cheese sandwich with Chipotle Mayonnaise. The atmosphere is cozy and took me down memory lane when I saw a antique Singer sewing machine on it's original wooden desk just like my abuelo would use. I can wait to return to try más of their amazing menu.

The coffee and food were delicious!
Also the team was so friendly and gave us recommendations. We loved it!

Ollaexpress Cafe in San Antonio is a delightful gem, perfectly tucked away in a serene pocket of downtown, offering an escape from the city's hustle and bustle. As I ventured across the States, this cozy Mexican cafe stood out with its distinctive charm and family-driven passion. The horchata cold brew is an absolute must-try, a testament to their innovative and carefully curated drink menu. While the Cafe de Olla Frida and Micaela were decent, it's their horchata cold brew that will beckon me back. With a blend of indoor and outdoor seating in an eclectic setting, Ollaexpress offers not just a cup, but an experience. Definitely, a bookmark for any San Antonio visit!

Amazing coffee!!! Lovely set up and they have other stuff in there to buy. While in San Antonio this is a must! It's close to the museum of Art and the Riverwalk. Can't wait to be back here

Such a beautiful spot for some EXCELLENT coffee & treats! Really cosy environment, will def return on our trip.

I am so excited to find this place! Cafe de Olla is a fabulous drink I first had in Mexico. Flavors are wonderful. You can get a tasting flight of 4 favors of Olla. Orange, anise, cardamom and chile. So fun! And, take home a bottle of their Poncillo syrup. Cafe de Olla at home! (Well, almost.). Cozy house with fun seating areas and a patio. Baked goods. Tamales.

Lovely atmosphere to sit and enjoy the coffee and pastries. I enjoyed the traditional Olla coffee and their special Tequila Olla, where they soaked the coffee beans in Tequila! 😁

Stopped by unplanned on a Sunday morning for a quick drink before having breakfast. Two young ladies immediately greeted me upon walking in and asked me if I had any questions. There was a nice choice of hot and cold coffees, teas, and a hot chocolate. There were also a few different pastry items at the counter.

Ordered the Mexican Chocolate and Pink Beet Latte. Both drinks were ready within 5 minutes. There wasn't a crowd, so was able to pick from the different sitting areas. There was a living room area with couches and a rocking chair, standard dining tables, and bar height tables. It was a very relaxing atmosphere to sit and enjoy the drink in peace. Both drinks were great. I was hesitant about the Pink Beet Latte, but the beets weren't overwhelming and went well with the ginger and honey. The Mexican Chocolate had a nice mix of seasonings to go along with the milk and Mexican Chocolate. Nice place to come and enjoy some coffee, tea, or other warm drinks.

I can't believe how good this place is. The flavor in their coffee and food items is unmatched. I really haven't seen it nowhere else. I had the Oreo concha, which I was super hesitant, but I was honestly impressed. Also, don't be afraid to try their specialty cappuccinos, they might sound odd, but I promise you will not regret it. Definitely a new favorite here in San Antonio, TX.

This may be my favorite coffee spot in all of San Antonio. It feels somewhat magical because it's hidden away in the woods with such chill vibes whether you sit inside or outside. Inside is bright and vibrant with plenty of seating options like small tables and a couch. The barista was quiet but friendly and quick making drinks. Their espresso is pretty darn good. They have alternative milk, which is nice. Outside has a courtyard feeling with cobblestone, lofty arching trees, a quietly bubbling fountain, and several nice metal tables. In the mornings it's a cool breezy spot to enjoy your coffee. You can pretend for a little bit that you're not in the middle of a huge sprawling and noisy city. They aren't open on Mondays or Tuesdays though. There's a bunch of good breakfast and lunch food options within walking distance. And a lovely trail nearby where people bike and walk.

I write this as I am in what was possibly grandma's rocking chair and after walking a mile or so to get here. I am over the moon happy and content with a mug of absolutely, unbelievably rich and delicious Cafe de Olla next to me. I haven't had this type of coffee since the last time I was in Oakland and I have been searching on my overnights for it. Finally, after six years or so, I have arrived here. What a nice spot, thank you so much for being here!

Delicious Coffee and I love their patio outdoor area! It’s the perfect place! The coffee is made the Mexican way and it tastes so good, it’s not as bitter as other coffees. Make sure to order the coffee flight so you can try all the coffees! They also carry vegan kolaches and other delicious pastries. We loved it!

An amazing gem of a coffeeshop!! And my new favorite place to have an espresso! I am not exaggerating when I say it is tucked into the forest. It feels like a hill-country retreat with a large fountain and huge oaks and other plants hanging over head.

I was walking the dogs on the Salado Creek Greenbelt, and only 10 steps off of the trail, I found the coziest patio in the city. I am so thrilled!

A hidden gem in San Antonio! I’ve been on a road trip across the States and Ollaexpress is one of the, if not the most unique & cozy Mexican cafe I’ve ever been to. It’s located in the calm side of downtown for those who wants to get away from business of S.A for a slice of heaven. My favorite drink was horchata but their other drinks and coffee are crafted with passion and experience with a touch of great customer service run by a great family vibe! Definitely will be back for those horchata action in the future-

Delicious Chai!!! I love the rompope latte 🫶🏽 They also have really good pastries!! There is outside seating and inside seating. Great place to study, talk, or grab coffee & go

I am officially obsessed with this raw piloncillo syrup and their café de la olla. It reminds me of the traditional cafe de la olla I’ve had in San Miguel de Allende!! They are vegan friendly and have vegan tacos on Sundays. You’ve got to try it if you’re in San Antonio.

Simply put: the best coffee I’ve ever had. For someone unfamiliar with Olla’s story or the way Cafe de Olla is prepared, this place is a must try.
