James was super friendly and the coffee was very unique. I never knew coffee could taste like that. The flavors were very noticeable and significantly different than other coffees.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this hidden gem of a coffee roaster spot. The owner, who also doubles as the barista, exudes genuine warmth, making the experience all the more delightful. The diverse range of coffee beans from around the world reflects their commitment to quality and intriguing flavors. The cozy, warehouse-like ambiance adds a unique touch, and exploring the bags of coffee beans in the adjacent room felt like a journey through global coffee culture. An absolute must-visit for coffee enthusiasts!

“Amazing Coffee, Exceptional Experience!” I can’t say enough great things about James and Lisa (owners) of Pulp Coffee Roasters. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly roasted beans wraps around you like a warm hug. Their attention to detail in every cup is unmatched—whether you’re a pour-over enthusiast or prefer a perfectly pulled espresso shot, they absolutely nail it. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about their craft. They took the time to explain the flavor profiles of their beans and even recommended a brew method I hadn’t tried before. The result? One of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had! Their selection of beans is fantastic, and you can really taste the care they put into sourcing and roasting. The cozy atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to relax, work, or catch up with friends. If you’re a coffee lover, this is a must-visit. I left with a bag of beans and sweetener syrup so I can’t wait to brew it at home. Highly recommend to anyone in search of a top-notch coffee experience!

I've visited Pulp Coffee roasters twice. Their espresso is delicious! I parked right at the front door. It has a cool whiskey distillery vibe, which I really love. The owner James is so friendly and he has the best baristas. I appreciate James so much for taking time to walk my husband through the coffee production and answering all his questions about how the machines work. You can book a group tasting experience on their website. I love this coffee spot so much.

Amazing experience! James and his lovely wife taught us so much about coffee, the roasting process and even let us see and smell the beans from before they were roasted until after! The coffee is delicious and the owners are very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Pulp Coffee Roasters sets the standard for an unparalleled coffee experience in San Antonio. James and Lisa, the exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable baristas/owners, elevate every visit with their expertise and warm hospitality. Their mastery of coffee roasting and preparation ensures that you’ll keep coming back for the finest pour-over and espresso in Texas. Pulp offers a thoughtfully curated menu of meticulously crafted beverages paired with outstanding pastries. Their beans are roasted to perfection and brewed with precision - delivering a tasting journey that rivals some of the best coffee shops worldwide. For specialty coffee enthusiasts, Pulp is an absolute must-visit. Don’t miss their Gesha pour-over—it’s absolutely worth it. Other standout options include their cortado, ristretto cappuccino, deconstructed latte, and chai.

Been a fan of Pulp since their early days. First got to know them when they had the Blum shop by Broadway. Lisa is always very kind and whips up a truly delicious cappucino and James knows how to get these insane natural flavors out of the beans. Definitely a staple for specialty coffee in SA :)
