Coffee is killer, they've really stepped up their game with quality coffee and tasty food. I love stopping in for a cappuccino, lavender mate sour, or a pita perfection. YUM.
Sam MelnickMarch 18, 2018Great yerba maté options available! The lavender maté sour was smooth and delightful.
My favorite spot in San Marcos next to the river... Great drinks and service! Try the busy bee cold in the summer...D-lish! <3

- Not into coffee? Try their Busy Bee! Delicious Tantra original.
Ken MuggeridgeApril 17, 2010Forget Starbucks. This is a coffeeshop that knows how to make real espresso drinks. Great atmosphere.
Try the breakfast special, a bagel and a cup of coffee for $2,50 before 9am
The parking here blows and the beer selection is lacking these days.
Go to Tantra Coffeehouse, but skip the coffee and get a great bottle of beer and a sandwich!

"Very cool place to relax with drinks and friends. Mostly outdoor space with a covered patio. Good mix of people, strong drinks and local beer."

"This is the best grocery store in town. Definitely try going early Sunday morning, the shelves are typically freshly stocked with almost no one in the store."
