Pulp Coffee & Wine Bar in Forest of Dean

Awesome owners. Great coffee. Lovely place. What more could you ask for!

Now I understand why it is so well rated. I completely loved the tasting experience and how we felt so welcomed. We are def going back!

Wonderful experience at Pulp. Great spot to sit down and have a coffee. Cold brew was fantastic

I went to the downtown shop and at first wasn’t sure if I was in the right place. However, walking in I was greeted friendly and the barista made an awesome recommendation (ristretto capuccino). Very pleasant atmosphere and actually know about their coffee and the source it comes from.

Man! The cortado was EXCELLENT: no sugar needed. Just as impressive was the conversation on James' and Lisa's (owners and founders) journey in coffee. I learned a few things. I'll definitely be back. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone who loves coffee! And yes: simply roll your car up on the grass next to the front door in order to park.

My husband and I had one of the best cortados we have ever had. The kava chai with cold brew was good as well. James and Lisa took time to answer our coffee and espresso machine/gadget questions. They also made our kids feel welcomed. Pulp is more than great coffee but a fantastic experience!

The wonderful husband and wife duo add to the open, industrial atmosphere of this roastery. I’m a sucker for quirky layouts, and they made the large space feel cozy. The combined knowledge of the staff make for a great learning experience, or just to nerd out with types of beans, roast profiles, and specialty coffees. James and Liza are a testament to the success of this shop, the growth of coffee knowledge in the local community, and especially being the kindest humans you could ask for.

This little hidden gem was a perfect spot to stop and get some iced matcha during our lunch. While the service was great and matcha was good I wish there would’ve been a place inside to sit down other than that! I will definitely be back!

If you're looking for a coffee experience rooted in passion, Pulp Coffee is the place to be. Owners James & Liza Mireles aren't just serving coffee, they're sharing their love for the bean with every cup they brew. Their commitment to organic, high-quality beans ensures a delicious and sustainable experience. But Pulp Coffee is more than just great coffee. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making you feel like you're joining a coffee-loving family. The pristine condition of the roasting facility reflects the meticulous attention to detail that goes into every aspect of their operation. From the passionate owners to the delicious coffee and inviting space, Pulp Coffee is a MUST for coffee enthusiasts in San Antonio.

At Pulp the coffee tasting is a delightful presentation of barista skills showmanship and taste enhancement of coffee flavor for the palate …

Such good coffee, a must if in the area!!

perfect latte 🤩 and they serve Panama Geisha!!

My husband and I had a cappuccino & a cold brew - so good! Definitely a coffee hidden gem in San Antonio. We will be back!

Present to the soul — perfect 👌🏼

***UPDATE...Retail fully operational at the Aiden on Commerce. The food menu is incredible and pairs nicely with the coffee selections***This IS a retail coffee shop, so visit in person and be prepared for some amazing coffee. I've been lucky enough to visit some shops that use their roasted coffee and the owners themselves are fantastic people! Check out the website to book a party. ***Re-designed floor plan with tasting room***

It's really cool how this place closed on a whim with zero notice on their website or anything. Soooo fun to drive all the way here only for it to be closed. I can't think of any other way I'd like to spend my Saturday. Oh wait, I can think of a million other things I'd rather do! These guys are not very good at business. You get a shout out in the paper and can't be bothered to stay open to develop relationships with new customers. I won't be back.

I made a promise and I'm here to deliver just as the purveyors of Pulp do day in and day out. I'm not one who takes time to write a review...but the coffee and service BLEW ME AWAY. James and Lisa took care of us as if we were family, treating us to a tasting experience with a couple of rare pour overs (Panamanian and Colombian Geishas). I personally am a neophyte when it comes to coffee so I appreciated the extra attention. Not only did they educate us on the coffee, the beans, the process, but even provided tastings of "palate cleansers" (ie sweet treats) procured from other local establishments. I felt as if I was a VIP guest in their shop and treated like a friend. I'm already recommending to all my coffee drinking friends to visit Pulp whenever they visit San Antonio. Hopefully I'll see more Spurs and Wemby games in the future and make it a ritual to visit Pulp the next morning! PS. We returned an hour later with the rest of the group to get to-go drinks for the stroll around downtown SA. 😂

Not a coffee drinker but went since my wife likes coffee. Place was clean and had a good vibe. They made me a sweet tea to my liking.

First time here and it was awesome! The owners are amazing people. They are welcoming, friendly and very knowledgeable in the coffee and tea space. I got an iced latte and it was perfect. Nice hidden gem! We will be back!

Found Pulp Coffee Roaster at an event and had the best coffee of my life. Service was excellent! I highly recommend this place

Excellent coffee and James is very awesome

I had no idea a cold brew could taste this good! Ethiopian Natural roasted to perfection - fruity and clean. Phenomenal.

Coffee was amazing. Its natural sweetness was perfectly bringing up with zero artificial flavors. We fhad a great time there since the staffs were so hospitable! Pulp is definitely the reason making me visit San Antonio again.

PULP is Definitely a third-wave shop focusing on specialty coffee profiles, lighter roasts and lab-tested brewing methods that bring out better flavor profiles and unique notes in their beans. While I was in, the barista offered me a sample shot of an espresso blend he was working on, and then made me a custom drink that wasn't on the menu, based on our conversation about the brew method and flavors. I would highly recommend this low-key, high-quality roaster to anyone passing through the area.

Best coffee/espresso I’ve had in San Antonio. Super friendly staff that gave us samples to test and talk all things coffee and beans. 10/10 recommend if you’re a coffee snob like me.

Amazing coffee and amazing staff. Liza was incredibly informative and passionate about the coffee they served and so kindly let us try some great drinks during our stay. Can’t wait to visit again!

Some of the best coffee I've ever had. Highly recommend getting the Cortado. Well worth the trip.

Pulp is my new favorite coffee spot in San Antonio. It’s a MUST VISIT when in the downtown area!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this hidden gem of a coffee roaster spot. The owner, who also doubles as the barista, exudes genuine warmth, making the experience all the more delightful. The diverse range of coffee beans from around the world reflects their commitment to quality and intriguing flavors. The cozy, warehouse-like ambiance adds a unique touch, and exploring the bags of coffee beans in the adjacent room felt like a journey through global coffee culture. An absolute must-visit for coffee enthusiasts!

Literally one of my favorite coffee experiences in San Antonio so far. Amateur baby coffee fanatic that has dragged themselves to most coffee shops I can locate but this place is a magical space if you enjoy the creation of a perfect cup of bean💚

Their new space inside (as of late January ‘24) is so cool! Same epic coffee as always - the very easiest coffee brand to root for 😍 They just keep on delivering the very best coffee, expertise, and service!

Very relaxed and awesome coffee shop! Went there for the first time and was super impressed by everything. I ordered the Pulp Experience and got great coffee along with an excellent teaching experience with Gabe. He answered all of my questions and shared so much of his coffee knowledge. Highly recommend!

Great place for fresh beans! Get your beans here!

Best coffee in San Antonio by far!

Best cortado I’ve had in awhile

I always, ALWAYS go to Pulp whenever I am in San Antonio. I’ve had the best cups and beans I’ve had in my life from Pulp. James and Gabe are very welcoming and friendly, not to mention very informative!!

No food, just excellent coffee roasted on site. The atmosphere reminds me of some of my favorite craft breweries—simple, industrial, all about love of beer (or in this case, coffee!)

Very friendly staff & great coffee.

What an amazing surprise to discover this gem! We met an owner and his wife roasting coffee. Our coffee has been served with a shot of sparkling water - they were talking my language as I used own a gourmet coffee shop in NYC. Saved this place for me to come back in the future

This was THE BEST coffee experience I have had with friends. Amazing chocolate too. VIP of coffees properly served, properly served in proper cups/ glasses with sparkling water to balance it out

Just FYI, some of the photos belong to Aiden (where Pulp also has a little shop), the location on the listing is in an industrial building with nothing around it so not exactly a place you would go to chill. Owner is super nice! Aiden is down the street if you want plenty of space to sit. (You can’t park though unless valet) On Chestnut, you can park in front of the location but there is no real parking. Food at Aiden is ok, nothing special. No prices anywhere just FYI. That spicy chai was good though!

I really enjoyed the experience. Coffee was excellent and the staff are knowledgeable about coffee. Top notch!

Pulp Coffee has truly captured my heart and taste buds. From the very first sip, it's evident that they've mastered the art of crafting exceptional coffee. But it's not just about the coffee; it's the whole experience that keeps me coming back for more. First and foremost, the people at Pulp are outstanding. They exude warmth and authenticity that's often missing in the coffee world. Their dedication to creating a welcoming atmosphere is palpable, making each visit feel like catching up with old friends. It's a testament to their commitment to customer satisfaction. Now, let's talk about the coffee. Pulp's brews are nothing short of extraordinary. The depth of flavor and aroma in every cup is a testament to their meticulous sourcing and roasting processes. It's coffee that's both comforting and adventurous, with a rich, smooth texture that dances on your palate. What sets Pulp apart is their dedication to authenticity. From the carefully chosen beans to the brewing techniques, they remain true to the essence of coffee. It's evident in every detail, whether it's the perfectly brewed espresso or the delicate latte art. In a world of coffee chains and generic experiences, Pulp stands out as a true gem. It's not just a coffee brand; it's a haven for coffee lovers who appreciate genuine passion, unbeatable customer service, and a coffee experience that's nothing short of extraordinary. Pulp Coffee has my unwavering loyalty, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone who craves more than just a caffeine fix.

Found this gem while shopping for commissary kitchens. Even if I didn't sign on with local sprouts, I would still come here weekly for a bag of coffee and any other opportunities I found!

Super cool place and amazing coffee! It’s more of a stop and go place, not a whole lot of room for a crowd, seats at a long bar table and couch. Staff is super friendly and excited to talk about coffee with you, great chill environment

Coffee shop inside of a coffee roaster in an industrial building. Had a fantastic cold brew. Savored every drop.

Love love love ❤️ this place. The vibe is great. James was awesome and the coffee you have never experienced great coffee until you've visited PULP!!

Amazing coffee. I got a latte and the roast they were using was super unique and had hints of blackberry. Absolutely recommend for specialty coffee fans!

Beautiful coffee shop, excellent coffee, and extremely nice barista who obviously loves what she does. Definitely recommend

This place is AMAZING!!!!!! The staff is over the top incredible and the coffee is out of this world!! I cannot wait for our trip back next year!!!

Delicious!!! Fresh local ingredients and friendly service!!!

The service at the Pulp Coffee Roasters is amazing. The breakfast and lunch sandwiches are amazing. The staff are so on top off it and very friendly.

I visited San Antonio from OH in April 2021. Prior to this, I periodically drank coffee because I couldn't find one I liked. I found the one I like with Pulp and have it shipped to me (I appreciate the extras the staff send/ship to me as well). Thank you Pulp Coffee.

Pulp Coffee wrecks you! BEWARE: After experiencing what real, genuine, AMAZING coffee can taste like you will never be able to drink any other. As a good friend of mine describes them, “Pulp Coffee ruins all other’s”. All other brands, blends, baristas, coffee-bars, coffee-shops and coffee-houses. I am madly in love with the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe and adore their rock-solid staple; the “Trinity Blend”. Do yourself a favor and order a bag (or three) and have one of Pulp’s fantastic staff hand deliver it to your door.

Best coffee in SA! Love that they are always bringing in new beans. When I see Pulp coffee is served at a restaurant/cafe I know I’m in for some delicious coffee.

James and Liza are coffee ARTIST! Exceptional coffee…we won’t drink any other coffee. We always travel with our PULP coffee. Be prepared to be WOWED and experience a true cup of coffee. Do not hesitate to order..you will not be disappointed. #HOOKEDONPULPCOFFEE

Note that this location is not open by default, so don't do what I do and try to visit spontaneously. Note that Pulp does sell online! (Edited Review)

This is a great place. If you FEAR Pulp Coffee Roasters to the -- come here, and your faith in -in Pulp Coffee Roasters will be restored. I came here before I had health insurance and they were very helpful, truly caring. If I lived nearby I would still come here. A great experience.

Not only is this the best coffee I've tasted in my life... the service and professionalism is second to none ! Now, this is a premium coffee and a premium experience so expect to PAY a premium, but I promise you, it's worth it.

I ordered two bags of ground coffee as an anniversary gift for my husband. He LOVES your coffee and hadn’t had any in about a year so I knew he’d be surprised and happy to receive. When delivered, it was actually the whole bean which wasn’t a big deal, but called to let James know. Liza called and apologized and actually dropped off two bags of ground and samples of the individual serving bags. I am over the moon at the service AND the coffee. My husband was so happy to receive and made our first anniversary special. Thank you SOOO much Liza and James for all you are doing and going above and beyond to make this day special! I can’t wait for coffee in the morning! We miss going to your location downtown, so we will be back for a visit soon. Take care!

Okay so I thought this was a coffee place. Turns out they haven't opened their coffee shop yet and are just wholesale roasters. But when we went the owner happened to be there so he invited us in and let us sample some cold brew and made us americanos. The cold brew was the best I've ever had. I took some bottled cold brew home. Really good coffee. Really cool guy. I'll definitely be going back as soon as their coffee shop opens.

Walked there and there’s nothing there

Best darn roasters around! James and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what they do and are willing to share that with you. After my experience with them I have a deeper appreciation for coffee and what all goes into the roasting process. Although, I am no longer in TX I still order my coffee from them!

Friendly owners, flavorful coffee & best demo/lesson on roasting & tasting coffee. If i owned a coffee shop, this is the coffee i would serve!

This has got to be the best coffee I have tried in a while. Ordered a fresh bag by mail and it got delivered super fast and without hassles. The package even included a couple samples of tea which were just as delicious! Ordered the "Trinity Blend" and this particular blend has a natural sweetness to it, so you dont even have to add sugar and brewing a cup makes my whole apartment smell amazing. 10/10 will be ordering again

Simply the best coffee roaster and coffee service company I've ever done business with. Keep doing what you're doing!👏👏👏

I was never a huge fan of coffee until I went to a tasting at Pulp. Now I’m hooked. James and Liza’s passion for coffee shows in the quality of their roasting and their product. These guys are going places bc I can’t get enough of their iced coffee and their espresso!!!! I thought coffee was coffee but if you attend a tasting at Pulp James will open your eyes/tastebuds and give you not only a wonderful tasting....but an expanded educational insight of the coffee bean from beginning to end. And don’t worry bc even if you’re not a fan (which you will be), the second half of the tasting is their tea products which are equally out of this world. Grab 8-12 friends and schedule ur tasting today. You won’t regret it...and you won’t want to sip on anything else!!!!

Hands down Best Latte in town! I am a huge coffee lover and this is one of the smoothest, freshest coffees I have had! Ask for the Trinity Latte! The owners, Liza and James, are super knowledgeable and welcoming too. Overall just a cool place to get some local coffee and support local business.

Best coffee roaster in the city! Really nice couple

Pulp is amazing! I had first met them at a wedding I was helping out with and remembered them a year later when I was planning my own wedding. We wanted a coffee bar because I love coffee and gave them a call. They were fantastic and so easy to work with! Its owned by a fabulous couple, James and Liza, who are so loving. Great energy and professionalism at the wedding, they even helped save some of my table settings when it started to rain that day! So incredible, I didn’t even know until my friends said how amazing they were helping out with the decor prior to the reception.They felt like family at the wedding! Everything is in-house from the roasting to the packaging. They have tasting parties and give you first hand how coffee comes from the bag to the cup. I love them! James and Liza are fantastic! Highly recommend for private parties, weddings or even date night with their tasting parties. Too bad they don’t have their own shop, or I’d be there everyday! Thank you guys for what you do!

We have eaten here on two occasions recently, one with friends the other as a family. The proprietor makes you feel very welcome and the service excellent which contributes to a relaxed afternoon. The food is very good and one of us tried the vegetarian option which was excellent. We were a bit disappointed that one of the dessert options had run out on one occasion but the proprietor handled this situation very well. We shall definitely return.

First time eating in this area and to this restaurant. We arrived an hour earlier too and were happy to wait in the pub however, the very competent staff sat us earlier and were very accommodating. The wine was good and very reasonably priced. Waiting staff were attentive and very helpful. Will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend.

This is a great little local restaurant, especially with the Live singing and Meal offers on a Thursday evening. Fantastically decorated & would recommend to all.

Went on a Thurs eve with 3 girlfriends, was our first time in the new wine bar (having been pleased with the pub before) and it didn't disappoint. Decor is warm and inviting, service was perfect from the woman who runs the bar to the kitchen girls who served us. Wine selection was good and fair priced. Was offered choice of 6 small plates to share between two of us for £18, fantastic value and lots of choice. Food was fantastic quality, very fresh and varied-the squid was so good we ordered another serving! As the manager said, it was clear the food was prepared with a lot of thought and care which goes for the whole experience really. Will definitely recommend to friends, would also be nice for a date place.
