Welcome to Refuge
Your Favorite Destination For Specialty Coffee, Texas Craft Beer & Family Friendly Hangout
Refuge is that rare place where toddlers, beer lovers, coffee nerds, remote workers, and goat fans all feel completely at home. It’s San Antonio hospitality with a shot of espresso and a whole lotta heart.
Discover Refuge: More Than Drinks, It’s a Destination
Welcome to Refuge — a space built with intention, love, and the belief that community changes everything.

In March 2024, we opened our doors in the heart of the Far West Side with one goal: to create a place where people feel seen, known, and celebrated.
Not just a coffee shop. Not just a beer garden. But a gathering ground — for families, friends, first dates, and everything in between.
Here, your morning coffee isn’t just fuel — it’s a moment to breathe.
Your evening beer isn’t just a buzz — it’s a toast to the day with people who get you.
From day one, we’ve partnered with local farmers, roasters, ranchers, brewers, and makers — not just to support local, but to keep the soul of San Antonio in every sip, bite, and experience.
At Refuge, we believe in:
☕ Coffee with purpose — ethically sourced, locally roasted, and made with craft.
🍺 Beer with boldness — small-batch, Texas-made, and full of flavor and story.
🪑 Spaces that welcome — family-friendly, dog-friendly, full-of-heart and wide-open for connection.
🎉 Moments that matter — toddler time, comedy nights, live music, game nights, and random Tuesdays that turn into lifelong memories.
Refuge is all about community, and around here – you’re family.
Coffee - Beer - Family

This isn’t just a pit stop.
This is your Refuge.
A place to be known. A place to belong.

Our Community 🏡 What’s Going On at Refuge
Refuge ain’t just a coffee and beer spot — it’s a whole vibe, a community hangout, and home to some of the coolest folks in San Antonio.
Here’s who you’ll find kickin’ it with us:
🍖 BoBeQ’s – South Texas BBQ Royalty
Serving up brisket that melts in your mouth and ribs that don’t need a knife — BoBeQ’s is bringing real pitmaster heat to the Refuge fam.
Expect smoky, saucy, slow-cooked perfection that tastes like your tío’s backyard on a Sunday — but better.
Try it once. Dream about it forever.
🐐 Goat Shenanigans – Yes, We Have Goats
Yep, we’ve got a goat crew in the back — real, adorable, bouncing-around-their-prairie goats.
They’re part therapy, part entertainment, and fully part of the Refuge experience.
Catch a toddler giggling, a goat bleating, and someone sipping a latte all in the same moment. Pure joy.
Pro tip: Check our calendar for “Goat Cuddles” events — you won’t regret it.
🌱 Growing With Miss Daisy
Meet Miss Daisy, our resident gardener and green-thumbed legend behind Growing With Miss Daisy. Every Tuesday and Thursday, she leads hands-on homeschool gardening classes for kids, teaching them how to plant, grow, and care for the world around them — all with patience, joy, and a whole lot of love.
She’s not just growing gardens… she’s growing future stewards of the earth, one tiny seed at a time.
COFFEE

☕ Specialty Coffee, Crafted with Care
At Refuge, coffee isn’t just a drink — it’s a craft, a calling, and a daily opportunity to do things the right way.
We proudly source high-quality, locally roasted beans that reflect both ethical sourcing and exceptional flavor. Every ingredient we use — from our organic, Texas dairy milk to our fully organic alternative milks and small-batch syrups — is selected with care, because you deserve better than the basics.
From the first grind to the final pour, our baristas approach each cup with skill, precision, and genuine love for the craft.
At Refuge, coffee isn’t just a drink — it’s a craft, a calling, and a daily opportunity to do things the right way.
☕ What Makes Us Different:
- Locally Roasted Beans – Sustainable, small-batch roasting with purpose from our in-house roasting partner – Legacy Coffee Roasters.
- Organic Milk & Alt Milks – No shortcuts. No additives. Just real ingredients that shine through.
- Organic Small-Batch Syrups – Flavored drinks that are sweet, not synthetic.
- 4th Wave Coffee Ethos – We take coffee seriously — not ourselves. It’s about transparency, sustainability, and elevated experiences without the pretentious vibe.

BEER

🍺 Texas-Born. Taproom-Perfected.
At Refuge, beer is more than a beverage — it’s a celebration of craft, community, and the bold spirit of Texas.
We feature 16 rotating taps pouring the finest brews this great state has to offer — from hill country lagers to hazy IPAs, rich porters to crisp ciders. Each beer is handpicked to showcase the creativity, quality, and culture of Texas craft brewing at its best.
Whether you’re a hop head, a dark beer devotee, or just here to explore, there’s always something new, local, and worth raising your glass to.
🍻 What Sets Our Beer Bar Apart:
- 16 Rotating Taps – Constantly changing, always curated with intention.
- All-Texas, All the Time – We support independent Texas breweries from the cities, the hill country, and the hidden gems in between.
- Something for Everyone – Lagers, ales, stouts, sours, ciders — we keep the variety as bold as the flavors.
Our team is passionate about helping you find your next favorite pour — whether it’s your usual or something that surprises you.
