Nice, comfortable coffee shop. I had a nutella mocha coffee - OMG, I could be hooked! Great coffee lineup. Only bad thing is finding parking on Broadway. It was easy for me that day, as it was late, but I could see that area being a dicey parking sitch. Parking: See above.

I wish I could give this place more stars but the worker there made me feel so uncomfortable. I feel as if he judged me based on the color of my skin. I was a customer and they still left a horrible note on my car and made me feel unwelcomed.

Dont go by the name or the ambience set by them. I am pretty sure that they serve San Antonios finest Masala tea and a darn good cold brew, espresso and cortado. They have a really friendly staff and the premises are well kept. The vibes are better for working and not so much for relaxation . Vegetarian options: The menu is completely vegetarian and vegan options are available too (just the coffee). Dietary restrictions: Vegan coffee options are available. Parking: Parking for 2 cars is available in front of the shop.

I m in love!! Just another reason to visit SA. My daughter lives here and shared this is a great spot for some coffee and she wasn t wrong. Came early so parking was available out front. The cookies were BOMB! Owner made them and you def need to have one. Dirty chai, latte with lavender ..delish! Pairs perfectly. Super friendly! Chill vibe. Pups welcome with treats available.

This place makes a really good Chai latte. They have masala chai as well, which couldn t be made with oat milk (understandable), but it was no bother as the Chai latte with oat milk was great.

Came here for the first time and I asked the barista what she recommended and she highly recommended I get the lavender matcha latte. She mentioned that was her specialty. I was a little hesitant about it since I m not big on lavender-flavored drinks. But It turned out to be heavenly Id definitely go back for it the environment is peaceful great place to study too.

Quite the place to visit on a cold crisp day! Their specialty lies in a fusion of flavor spice profiles, and they absolutely nail it! They make awesome chai lattes, matcha and chai, marsala chai, among other drinks. Best chai Ive had in the city, coupled with super friendly service, no wait times at peak hours, and its location to downtown its now become my new favorite coffee shop to visit. Be sure to check them out!

Mid coffee. Empty shell of a box. The barista would rather text and make customers wait 20 minutes for a single cortado... And we all know that shots of espresso get nasty when they sit too long.. Im genuinely confused have a single cup of coffee takes 20 minutes to make

I decided to try coffee from Amaretti just right before morning church service. I had not eaten breakfast so I gave their banana donut a try and to my surprise was absolutely delicious! I am very picky with banana so I keep it safe and stick to just eating actual bananas rather than banana loaf, muffins, scones, etc. The vanilla latte I ordered was smooth. The service was extremely friendly. Cute place. I will definitely make time to come back to enjoy their coffee again while I study.

Wonderful atmosphere here and excellent service! I loved the masala chai and look forward to trying the coffee too, as the room was filled with that high quality coffee scent while he pulled an espresso shot. The owner was incredibly gracious and took the time to chat with me about his business and his take on chai, of which Im really only familiar with the syrup kind. Im glad I took the time to look for chai spots in San Antonio and found this gem. This is definitely worth the trip and, although other reviews mentioned parking difficulties, I would gladly park on a side street and walk. Highly recommend and will likely make the drive here often.

Lavender iced latte and baked banana donut. Cool little coffee shop with a super-nice owner. The baked banana donut with strawberry frosting is a must try. Really enjoyed the latte and the lavender flavor wasnt overpowering. Looking forward to going back and trying some different drinks and seeing whats in the pastry case.

I really enjoy this coffee shop. Its got great coffee drinks, and its an excellent place to study/get some work done either individually or with a group. Decent amounts of tables and comfy chairs, plus plugs, arent too far from table or chairs. The only problem is parking can be difficult to find and parrellel parking is a must.

Nice location but unfortunately the Coffee was some of the worst I ve ever had. Literally left the cup full and walked out. Found a little coffee truck down the street Milas with Awesome energy and wonderful cup of Joe. I am never going to return to this establishment and one would assume with the word Coffee in the business name that Coffee would be Good. Amaretti Tea and Chi but no coffee would be a better name

We are always on the lookout for new local coffee shops and Amaretti coffee didnt disappoint. We visited during an off peak time and had no wait to order. Our drinks were perfect and delicious. The temperature was right on. My wife said hers was an almost perfect cup. The decor and vibe is casual and comfortable. The only somewhat downside is parking. There are a couple of slots right in front, but if those are taken you will have to park across Broadway somewhere and cross a very busy street. If thats the case, be careful and enjoy a really good cup of coffee. You wont be disappointed. Parking: Somewhat limited.

Looking for an after dinner coffee and saw this was highly recommended. Took the quick walk over there and walked in the door around 7:45pm (they close at 8pm on sunday). The employee who was working at the front welcomed us in and gave us the quick menu orientation and highlighted the seasonal specials. My fiancee got a caramel cappuccino, and I tried the Ginger snap. Both were phenomenal and made the cold weather more bearable. Ended up paying ~$11 for the two. Totally worth it.

Staff was the only pleasant thing here! Got a hot Americano & a blueberry muffin. The coffee was terrible (I threw it out) & the muffin was hard on top. Likely a little older than it should be sold. $10 for both items. Coffee was more expensive than the same coffee @ Starbucks. Would not recommend, sorry to say. This business has a long way to go.

Great experience for a first time visit! Stopped by to spend some time and do casual work. Seating was available both indoors and outdoors. The tables were spacious and chairs were fairly comfortable. The place was clean and well-maintained. I ordered a masala chai, which was delicious and authentic. I was happy to see this because it is not common. I also ordered a banana bread donut, which was recommended, and it was very flavorful. I also appreciated that the server brought us our drinks to the table rather than having us wait by the register. It was unexpected, but a kind gesture. Overall an enjoyable and relaxing experience. I would definitely return!

Pretty cool little place at the same location as Brown coffee on Broadway near the Pearl. Very nice selection of teas and coffees , along with some sodas and some nice cookies to go with it. They are Indian influenced and have an excellent sable cookie made with cumin that was excellent. The spice mixture for the masala chai was spot on and having this infused in a French press brought out the flavors rather than the traditional boil method. The herbal teas were well blended too and there is something for everyone here.

This has been my second trip to Amaretti Coffee. Upon first visit I had authentic Indian chai with puff pastries and jeera biscuits. Let me tell you guys, it was AWESOME. I haven t had an authentic chai like this in a while. Really reminded me of my mom s tea. The employees and the ambiance too felt super homely and welcoming. Today, upon my second visit there, I tried chocolate hazelnut latte. The latte was as amazing as authentic Indian chai . Both of them are completely two different things and equally good. I would really recommend everyone trying these two. While I ll make my trip again to try other stuff on the menu. Thank you amaretti coffee for such a warm and wonderful experience. Looking forward to seeing you all next time. This is definitely my new to go place to hangout and sip some coffee chai with those delicious jeera cookies and puff pastries!
