This UTSA-adjacent coffee shop sells more than just coffee, including its own brand of clothing and home goods. Amongst its traditional offerings, the star of Indy’s menu is its limited-quantity cereal milk latte, with rotating flavor options like Fruity Pebbles and Cap’n Crunch.

Earlier this year, the coffee truck’s permanent parking spot on Nacogdoches got an update, complete with plenty of outdoor seating, a neighboring food truck Naco Mexican, and a permanent canopy reminiscent of the gas station that once stood in the lot.

Takeout orders can be placed online.

The coffeehouse and roaster is a hidden gem seated inside an old sewing factory on the Westside.
