They have some great selection, the drinks that I ordered were the mixed berry Matcha and a horchata chai and they were great. The mixed berry Matcha was so interesting cause the hits of the berry and it had a great balance of sweet and earthy flavors. I ordered 2 danishes, an egg and berry danish the egg danish was seasoned quite well, it was a little heavy on the seasoning but great flavor none the less, and the berry was just the right amount of sweet with the flavor of the bread. :) Was a little pricy but the sizes and flavors were worth it. Love to try more stuff on their menu next time.

We first tried this place a couple of months ago, and CANNOT stop coming. The service here is amazing, they always ask if you like your drink and offer to add anything you’d like to make it how you’d want it. Super kind staff, amazing coffee and matcha. My favorite is the lavender matcha, and we also love how strong the lattes are here!

I can’t rave enough about this shop. I’ve been going here for years. Their matcha is sublime and pairs well with every flavor I’ve tried. The owner and their workers truly care about the drinks they’re producing and the community. They make suggestions to improve your drinks and it’s never failed to do so. Side note: It’s a true testament to how wonderful early bird is as when their AC was out a few weeks ago, there was STILL a ten-person line and packed shop on a san antonio summer afternoon. Always worth the wait and the drive

Lovely coffee shop with an amazing selection, I knew I wanted to try the strawberry match latte with horchata milk and the cinnamon croissant. My friend got the regular matcha latte and a cinnamon roll. The order came out quickly and we stayed for hours chatting and working.i would go there daily if I could just to try the entire menu. Highly recommend it!

First time visiting this coffee shop and fell in love! Already can’t wait to go back next weekend to try another flavor latte. This spot is so aesthetically pleasing- love the accent walls and plants! The coffee was AMAZING! We had the Horchata latte and vanilla honey latte as well as a berry danish. Staff were so friendly, helpful, patient and gave me a sample of the horchata milk to try! There was a long line which was a sign of how amazing this place is, line moved quickly. Update- We have been back multiple times and have tried so many different hot and cold lattes and they are all delicious! The line continues to grow each time we visit which is a blessing for their business!

Early Bird Coffee has put down roots after years of slinging top-tier espresso out of their food truck by REI. Now with a very cool new setup that fits them perfectly. Huebner Oaks Center has had its highs and lows, but with iconic brands like REI, Old Navy, and now Trader Joe’s having just opened, I expect this place to be hopping! Early Bird Coffee is tucked in the back with lots of free, easy parking, chill patio, and a clean modern vibe inside that feels both Euro and San Antonio at the same time. The baristas know their craft… the cappuccino was smooth and not too wet out to dry. The blueberry scone hit that sweet spot (literally): just enough flavor, not a sugar bomb. Staff is super friendly, service is quick, and they even brought my order right to the table. It’s awesome to see them land in a spot that feels like home. Early Bird’s officially my go-to coffee fix in northwest San Antonio.

Number One best coffee shop in SA! Best service. I accidentally ordered my drink iced, but wanted hot. They remade it. They are so nice and the coffee is the best quality. So good. The staff is the best! I got the salted butterscotch latte, so good!
