How to Achieve an All-Day Buzz at The Newstand Coffee & Sandwiches in San Antonio
The Newstand Coffee and Sandwiches, home to an ever-evolving menu of coffee, matcha, tea, wine, sandwiches, pastries, and more, is the one-stop shop for an all-day buzz. While the beloved community hub has established its popularity for its flavored syrups, used to craft several of its innovative coffee and matcha beverages, hand-made breads made with house-milled grains that sandwich fresh and unique ingredients, and deliciously crafted staples like the sticky bun and chocolate chip cookie, The Newstand is now also home to an impressive, yet approachable, wine program – allowing visitors to enjoy a “buzz” all day long.
Those chasing a caffeine buzz can find themselves sipping on menu staples and customer favorites such as the Cosmo & Wanda, an iced matcha latte with pink strawberry syrup and sweet cream cold foam, or the Paper Route, an iced caramel latte swerved with sweet cream cold foam and caramel drizzle. Recent additions include the Shake it Off, the team’s take on a shaken brown sugar shaken espresso, and the Tang Ten, made with Texas tangerine syrup, Kyoto matcha, and vanilla cold foam.
For an alternative “buzz,” The Newstand’s all-new wine program, helmed by sommelier and Newstand Beverage Director, Austin Tabbone, is the perfect happy-hour sip or nightcap. With an approachable take to wine, Tabbone has broken down the different varieties of their thoughtfully curated list, including “Weighty and Textured” wines sold by the bottle, “Red and Berry Fruited” wines sold by the glass, and more. To complement each wine selection, the evening menu includes several house-made bites, ranging from a light bruschetta and charcuterie board with regionally-sourced cheeses, to a delectable double chocolate cake.
From wines fermented with native yeasts only, to organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards, and wines that can’t be found in big box stores, Tabbone has designed The Newstand’s wine list with careful intention, ensuring a unique experience that can be accessible to new wine-drinking generations and those with refined palettes. For guests who can’t decide or say “why choose?”, Tabbone offers mini flights that serve as the perfect introduction to all things wine.
Whether it be through a kick of caffeine or a fun new sip, The Newstand is the perfect place to catch a pick-me-up and stay for the wind down from 7am to 9pm daily.
