Local is my #1 go to for coffee, sadly they closed their little annex in Southtown, but if you are at Pearl or in Alamo Heights (the address shown here) do drop in for delicious, serious coffee, awesome baristas and bakery selections from Bakery Lorraine - including a couple of 'gluten friendly' choices.

Love going here on Soul Spot on 1st and 3rd Fridays where my friend, J.J. Lopez and friends pull out the best Funk, Soul and R+B in San Anto - I have teased him for years that if I had a son, he would be just like JJ, because from the 1st time I heard him spin, I was hooked! Best to take a cab or drive over as it's not in the hood!
