The Cracked Mug Coffee House

"The Cracked Mug: Coffee, Conversation, and Comfort" The Cracked Mug in Helotes is hands-down one of my favorite spots! The coffee is consistently excellent--rich, smooth, and exactly what you need to start your day or take a well-deserved break. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to unwind. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the courtyard & history. It's a little haven where I love to sit and soak in the peaceful vibes, striking up conversations with anyone who's willing to chat. There's something so special about the sense of community here--it's not just a coffee shop; it's a place where connections happen. If you're looking for great coffee and an even greater experience, The Cracked Mug is an absolute gem. Highly recommend!

There's something so quaint and sweet about Old Town Helotes. We love stopping by all of the community events but what we love the most is coming to support all of the local small businesses. And as a foodie, there's no better way to support than eating and posting! This visit took us to Cracked Mug Helotes a Texas Hill Country hidden gem serving up coffee, breakfast, and a variety of baked goods that everyone deserves to know try for themselves. All of their coffee is from local specialty coffee roasters minutiae coffee and all baked goods are made from scratch in house. I tried their Egg, Sausage, and Cheese Croissant Breakfast Sandwich and really enjoyed it. The croissant was fluffy and flaky, and the ingredients were prepared perfectly. I would have liked a salsa, which I know to ask for next time. My wife liked her Breakfast Plate w/ 2 Eggs, Homestyle Potatoes, Sausage and Texas Toast. Pretty simple items but they were executed perfectly. But what stands out the most here is the ambiance and atmosphere. This place is located in the beautiful gathering of small businesses called Shops at Old Town Helotes. It's perfectly nestled along a line of shade giving trees where sunrays dance between the branches on a sunny day. It's the perfect setting for a day date that we all deserve now and then. We did!

NONE of the items we ordered is what came out. People next to us are also complaining for confused order customers. Service is timely, but the order taker isn't on point at all, and they've run out of serving dishes. The only upside is that sitting in the patio is great for our party of six. Overall, it's pretty, but overrated. Would not come again.

I recently stopped by Cracked Coffee Mug and tried their Old Town Turtle coffee drink along with a blueberry muffin. The coffee was absolutely delightful, with a rich, creamy flavor that perfectly blended notes of caramel and chocolate. It was smooth and indulgent, making it a real treat. The blueberry muffin complemented the coffee wonderfully, being fresh, moist, and packed with juicy blueberries. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend giving it a try!The inside was so cozy and warm had plenty of seating inside and out, and the girls were so sweet and very helpful .

It's always lovely to find a real coffee shop in San Antonio. (SATX loves its drive-thru-Java spots, but that's not my jam.) This cozy space has a quiet vibe and a few hot dishes instead of the usual muffins and carb-heavy fare. It's nestled into a lovely treed area strung with lights, across from a nifty looking wine place. The atmosphere is lovely, and the Honey I'm Home latte (honey and lavender) was transcendent. Since the space is small inside, it was a little loud with a little kid squealing and running around -- literally. And the music was religious pop, another less than stellar choice. But since I beg my coffee shop experiences in SoTex, I was happy to take the chance to stop in on a misty Saturday morning.

It was very tasty and had a great ambience. But the portions are very tiny and I would only go for coffee not for food..

I went here for the first time and I loved it. The staff was really nice and I'd go back for the amazing service. I ordered a matcha (vanilla flavor, oatmilk, and a hint of mango). For food, I ordered the breakfast plate and I enjoyed every bite. I loved eating outside it was so beautiful and amazing to be outdoor in a beautiful town. Truly enjoyed the experience.

Food was great, don't ever have a complaint about that but staff not so much. A bit hateful. Sad for a small business! Seems every time I've stopped by it's this way.

This was such a cute place to stop by for coffee and breakfast tacos. I was warmly welcomed by upon entering the cafe. The interior space is very small but there is lots of outdoor seating options.

Cute and cozy little coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating. Coffee and food is great, friendly service and great ambiance!
