Clear Light Coffee

My favorite thing about this coffee shop is that I'm able to bike to it from my house (about 8 miles each way) and that its a place where a bunch of other bikers stop. It's a nice place to stop and chit chat with others who also enjoy a morning bike ride on the weekends.

My friend and I stopped in here this morning to have coffee and breakfast. It was packed with motorcyclists which was cool. Inside, they had a nice and clean setup with a good ambiance. Once we got up to the counter, we had a few questions on what the items were but sadly the young lady behind the counter had no clue and made (incorrect) guesses. Most of their pastries and sandwiches were not made in house and were brought in from elsewhere.

We ordered the following:
- Americana: Just ok and served in a to-go cup even though we said it would be for there. Cream for the coffee is not set out and has to be requested which isn't a big deal.
- Prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich: Good but very cold. We should've requested that it be warmed up so that the croissant wasn't as stale tasting.
- Maple Bar: Brought in from Voodoo doughnuts. The woman behind the counter had said it was filled but sadly it was not. It was a cake style doughnut and very dry.

While I liked the ambiance and the community aspect, this isn't a place I'd be inclined to get breakfast from again.

It's fine; I really like the location and ambiance here. I was grateful for the sprinkler/fan system they had going to keep customers cool. Even in the shade, it was brutally hot outside so that provided a nice reprieve from the heat.

Service was alright. They weren't mean, but they weren't particularly friendly either. I mean, they're working in a shop with no AC so I'm not going to hold that against them.

They have a dog bowl outside so I was glad I brought my pup so he could stay hydrated. The iced mocha was yummy and refreshing.

I think once the weather cools down this spot will be a fantastic meet-up place for a brisk morning coffee, and I'm eager to give it that second try when the weather permits.

Charming,delicious,hidden treasure. Surrounded by BIG BEAUTIFUL trees despite the radical development of the area.The Tao here is phenomenal

Bicyclists,trail runners and locals flock this place because it's right off the trail.
Feels like when all the animals come together at the watering hole when it isn't monsoon season in Africa. I mean that In a good way.

Like a harmonious way.

Music is very good.I got lost in some Mac Demarco just vibin on the porch with my dog and then my coffee came out.WOW!

Life was perfect in that moment.

So delicious!! "They have the beans!!"

Had a very considerate and kind young man come out and apologize for a leaf blower that was in site.Didn't even notice I was so into the moment.Taking in nature and chillin with Mac.

Anyway the vibes all around are sweet and accommodating. Can't replicate this kind of place because it's just too real.
Like coffee house culture I grew up with to a degree but different.

Anyway after one visit I knew so would be back.Definitely been back.

Chefs kiss. Perfection from the moment I walked in. From the outside, you probably wouldn't think much of this quaint little coffee shop. But as soon as you enter, you're transported to what I would describe as a boho Texas chic dream. Wood floors, wood and black metal finishes, vibrant green plants and cacti, relaxing music... that combined with coffee and snacks. Oh, and very friendly service. The woman behind the counter was so lovely and patient. What more could you want?

In terms of snack offerings, there were mini cheesecakes, apple pie, pre packaged sandwiches, donuts, muffins, berry turnovers, among others. I went with the donut. I came here directly after a teeth cleaning from the dentist, so leave it up to me to pick the item with likely the most sugar. To balance things out again, you know? I hope my dental hygienist isn't reading this. Back to the donut- it was delish. Not too dense, the right amount of sweet, and you could taste that it was fresh.

For coffee, I ordered an iced vanilla latte with oat milk. Perfect. Smooth, balanced espresso taste and the latte was the perfect color. If you know, you know.

There's a small outdoor space with a walk-up window for service. A nice touch me thinks. I sat inside because I loved the vibe so much. Plus, you know my ginger self and the sun aren't the best of friends.

I will 100000% be back. Highly recommend. One of my new faves.

The drinks were actually really good! One of the best matcha teas I've had in a while! The coffee was good too :) and the coffee cake was really soft in the inside just like I like it :)! The service was good! They offered recommendations and the ambiance is super cute! Especially the outside!

It was actually good. The parking is a little confusing, because there is a tasty BBQ place nearby. It's a quaint and quiet place that is good for someone that is studying. My latte was just right and I loved the barista!

My wife and I have driven by this place and number of times and I've looked forward to being able to try it. We pulled in this afternoon at 2:55 and noticed that the person who was working there was taking down the chair out front. I waited for him to come back and asked him what time they closed and he looked at his watch, said 3 o'clock, took the open sign down off the wall, and took it inside.

Seems to me like this place has all the customers that it needs and we no longer need to come back here.

If it was my small business and I had a customer walking in five minutes before close, I would've offered coffee, but that's just me...

I get that he liked had already cleaned up, but even if he had said so and invited us back tomorrow or appeared like he was sorry. But it was like we were just a bother he had to ignore in order to keep closing. Hope he enjoyed his later afternoon plans.

The nearby Starbucks thanks him for another order they did not need.

*Ambiance is very nice and quaint.
*Coffee was great.
*Pastries were okay and limited. Would like to see a larger assortment especially if you would like to lounge
*The issue I have with them as a customer is the timeliness. We waited about 25-30 min before receiving our order. Also, the coffee order was incorrect. I could understand if they were busy but not many people there when placing the order.

The positives outweigh the negative experience so will return as a customer. Hope they work on the above or set expectations if orders are delayed.

Very friendly staff and simple menu, got a vanilla caramel latte & it was delicious definitely be going back since it's on the way to work!!

This is not a fancy smancy place, just my type. It's right off the Saludo Creek bike trail and the coffee's good. I'll be back.
