We had a very nice breakfast. My wife had a Long Island Coffee, which she said was pretty good. Our food was quick and fresh. Gets crowded during peak hours.
Make it a point to come by and enjoy a coffee and the smores. Dads this is your sign to take your daughters for a lunch date with some hot chocolates perfect place to create those core memories!
This place was really cool. The cocktails were amazing. The Sin+Tonic is exceptional. We had the smores as a snack while we enjoyed our cocktails, and the atmosphere was so chill and fun. I would say this is a great place to stop on a Saturday night!
Stayed nearby at an Airbnb and this place was super close. Coffee was the best coffee I had in SA $3 bucks with refills. Staff are friendly and fun service fast. Lots of ppl on their laptops so it felt like a local Starbucks with better food and drink options. Good music and LQGBTQ+ friendly 💚near the river walk path
Perfect place to meet friends or do a little work. I go all the time but I finally tried their breakfast burrito and it was super delicious. It was huge and very filling with tasty salsa on the side. My pumpkin latte was so good and the service was friendly as always. I also love that everyone is welcome here.
Went for a quick brunch before my hunnybunny's court appointment. Got a Banana Rama iced coffee- delicious!! I got a Vietnamese one- wonderful. Ww both got the French Toast--yalllll!!! My mom is lucky she wasn't there!! I would slapped her so hard she woulda ended up in the San Antonio River!!! Visiting SA-Visit Halcyon... ask about the S'mores!!!
Food is different but delicious. The wait service was super nice. She made every effort to accommodate me. I unknowingly ordered a dish that had pork product, she made me the same dish this time omitting the pork product with a fancy Italian name and added a few of my suggestions at no charge and left the other one for my friends to enjoy at no extra charge.
If you’re looking for a place that combines coffee, brunch, a bar, and a unique atmosphere in San Antonio, Halcyon Southtown is an absolute gem. Located within the Blue Star Arts Complex in the historic Southtown district, this spot offers much more than just a drink or a meal—it’s a cultural and culinary experience. History & Context: Halcyon opened its doors in 2013, occupying a space that was part of an industrial complex transformed into a hub for art, galleries, and dining. The name “Halcyon” means a calm and happy period, perfectly reflecting its concept: a place where you can relax, work, socialize, or simply enjoy a quality coffee while soaking in the artistic design of the space. Halcyon is part of the revitalization of Southtown, a neighborhood with 19th-century historic architecture that has gone through decades of change and is now a gathering point for artists, locals, and tourists. Atmosphere & Experience: The venue is spacious, with comfortable lounge areas, natural lighting, a terrace, and access to the walkable Riverwalk trail. The vibe changes throughout the day: in the morning, it’s a quiet coffee spot for work or reading; brunch time brings families and friends; and at night, it transforms into a bar with creative cocktails and live music. Food & Drinks: The menu is versatile: artisanal coffee, waffles, sandwiches, vegetarian/vegan options, and a wide selection of cocktails and alcoholic beverages. The quality of the coffee and food is consistent, though it may take a little longer during peak hours. The service is friendly and attentive—staff guide you through the menu and provide excellent recommendations. Fun Facts: • Halcyon shares the complex with Stella Public House, allowing you to go from morning coffee to artisanal pizza and beer in the evening without leaving the building. • The Blue Star Arts Complex was originally an industrial warehouse space transformed into a cultural, artistic, and culinary destination, redefining the neighbor
Rosie is THEE BEST! Excellent service for my son and I when we came in, fast service, didn’t have to ask for my sons food to be cut, or a to go box, etc she just knew & was ON IT! This was my first time dining in and I’ll be back way more often with the staff yall have now, shoutout to the hostess julienne at the front too!🩷🩷🩷 perfect place for a mommy & me date :)
Every dish was full of flavor I ordered the Hamageddon. Which is two poached eggs a drizzle of hollandaise on english muffin with onion cream cheese and a side of potatoes. The cream cheese really pushed this dish forward! The mini pancakes were delicious, I believe they were sourdough and I really enjoyed that the powdered sugar was lightly done. Every dish was very delicious, the music was enjoyable and at a decent sound level that allowed conversation. The overall atmosphere reminded me of an ASMR cafe. The server was nice and evenly attentive. They informed when the food would be a little longer wait do to cook having just receiving a big order. The drinks were taste. Would recommend and everyone in my party enjoyed their meals.
