OUR STORY

Our Story

CommonWealth Coffeehouse first opened its door in January, 2015, welcoming customers to enjoy an unrivaled selection of traditional and artisanal French pastries and savory fare, teamed with indeed the most perfect cup of carefully sourced coffee. Our charming flagship location in the heart of Alamo Heights has thoughtfully brought to life what is means to be a community coffeehouse; a uniquely friendly atmosphere and a creatively executed menu that speaks to all who visit.

Since its incarnation, the CommonWealth vision has been to provide an eclectic take on the coffeehouse space, and fuse traditional French bistro fare with a San Antonio spin. Under the supreme talent of our French Chef, Vincent Lacoste - a third generation baker from Dax, France - we have crafted a menu that we hope will transport our patron from buttery croissant scented cafes in the South of France to gently re-emerge into the colorful aroma of chorizo tacos, the very hallmark of our corner of Texas. Our breakfast and lunchtime menus embrace a spectacular celebration of locally sourced ingredients, coupled with a variety of cuvee coffee brought to us directly from the roasting house in Austin, TX.

From this first location, CommonWealth can now be enjoyed in a number of delightfully varied locales across our beautiful city; from the understated business elegance of our BURNS building cafe, to the thriving hum and buzz of our Hemisfair coffeehouse right at the center of San Antonio's tourist heart. Additionally, a firm favorite in our collection is the Commissary location which fuses an effortless art-deco meets warehouse vibe, not to mention the executive chic ambience of our Weston Centre premises. And still so many more locations for you to discover...
