You'll never realize when you've reached inside as the decor incorporates the outdoors look with paintings of skies and nature. The interiors also extend to the courtyard, complete with a little pond and greenery. Seat yourself on one of the wrought iron chairs and take your pick from the Tex-Mex menu on offer. Sample the various tortillas, chips and fajitas. Don't forget to taste the apple-cinnamon empanadas.

Espuma Coffee and Tea Emporium

Coffeehouse in artsy Southtown district 928 S Alamo St
San Antonio, TX 78205-3419
United States
+1 210 226 1912
http://www.espumacoffee.com/? Located just south of downtown in the area aptly named Southtown, this artsy little coffeehouse is small, but it is a favorite with the locals. It features more coffee drinks than you can imagine, plus a fairly decent breakfast and lunch menu.

Exhibits of local artists' works grace the walls and rotate on a regular basis, and you can usually expect live music on the weekends. The large porch proves popular during the fall and spring months.
