Ryan Bros. Coffee - San Marcos

Live is too short to be bitter. I love this quote above their entrance! Ryan Bros Coffee serves up a delicious blueberry muffin that is packed with blueberries and is sure to satisfy any blueberry muffin lover. They also offer a variety of other sweets and sandwiches. The Americano is smooth and rich, and the ambience is chill. The baristas are friendly and have great attitudes. I 'll have to come back to try their sandwiches!:

There's no excuse for a coffee shop to not nail a staple drink such as a late. It seems unthinkable that coffee shops should miss the mark by a long shot. This place could be a hotspot, and it may be as there are plenty of seating areas on the premises. For the owner of this place, what missed opportunities for not investing more time and efforts into quality of the most basic drink. Clearly disappointed. Great customer service.

Nice environment a lot of tables outside and a few inside. All were taken on Wednesday 12 noon though. Busy. The Milkyway mocha was plain. Nothing special or different. Just like everywhere else. It was $5.85 for the small size

Ryan Brothers is a nice enough spot and the staff is friendly and solicitous. Unfortunately, on the rare occasions I've been here, I've been consistently disappointed. The problems seem to be two-fold. First, the quality of the coffee itself is mediocre. The taste suggests cracked, unevenly sized beans haphazardly roasted. Someone is phoning it in on this score. Second, the baristas' skills are not optimal. They somehow manage to get espresso drinks to taste like they were made with the percolated stuff my mom used to drink when I was a boy. If I'm recommending the nearby Starbucks over Ryan Brothers, that should tell you something. Really hoped for something more.

Nice patio seating, good bagel sandwiches. Drinks are sadly not the best I ordered the seasonal pumpkin spice cold brew and it just tasted very watery. My sister said her english breakfast tea was not memorable either
