La La Land Kind Cafe Opening in San Antonio

La La Land Kind Cafe will be debuting in San Antonio this fall! After two recent successful openings in Austin and Nashville, it’s no wonder La La Land is continuing to expand. These two cities were met with lines down the roads for their 50% opening discount, so it’s safe to assume there will be high expectations for the San Antonio location, which will be housed as the Shops at La Cantera in the old Francesca’s space next to Sweet Paris Creperie and Cafe.

La La Land Foundation, the group behind the cafe, has a mission to provide support and opportunities to fostering youth, which they do by offering internships to help youth transition from foster care into adulthood. In addition to this, the cafe also puts a lot of value on connecting with their local community and, of course, serving high quality products.

The first cafe location opened in Dallas in 2019, they then expanded to have many locations all across the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Houston and even across California before they opened their first Austin location just a few weeks ago. The fact that the San Antonio opening will so closely follow the more trendy cities like Austin and Nashville, is a great sign for the city! While Dallas, Houston and Austin are usually first to get all the new, trendy spots, San Antonio usually falls way behind, with a lack of many popular national chains.

So now that San Antonio is finally getting some of the recognition it deserves with a cafe location, what can you expect?

They have some signature drinks to choose from like The Strawberry Fields and French Toast Latte, among others. If you don’t want coffee, the cafe has a variety of coolers to choose from including a Mango Passionfruit Cooler and Hibiscus Iced Tea. Lastly La La Land is known for their one food option, their signature toast. There are a few different variations of Avocado Toast along with sweet options with fruit on top. Check out their full menu here.

The Opening

Each of their newest locations have featured a soft and grand opening where they offer 50% off of all drinks. The lines for these events are known to be quite long so if you’re looking to go when they debut at La Cantera, plan to get there early!

Final Thoughts

With its mission-driven model, aesthetic charm, and popular drinks, La La Land Kind Cafe’s arrival in San Antonio marks an exciting shift for the city’s coffee scene. As it joins the Shops at La Cantera this fall, locals can look forward to more than just a good latte, they’ll be part of a brand that’s bringing purpose and positivity to every cup. Whether you’re eager to try their signature toast or just want to experience the vibrant, feel-good atmosphere, this is one opening worth lining up for.
