Southtown San Antonio has that historic charm that the city is known for, with Victorian-era architecture, a vibrant arts scene, beautiful gardens, and more. The neighborhood has plenty of mansions and art galleries that you can admire, making it one of the best things to do in San Antonio

Located just minutes from the iconic Riverwalk, King William is home to our fourth Archies coffee shop at 711 S St. Mary’s Street, the perfect place to sip, work, and connect.

Whether you visit us downtown or in Southtown, each of our cafes has a local charm unlike any other coffee shop. From our unique menu options to our intentionally curated community events, we have something for everyone.

Here’s a glimpse into our King William coffee shop retreat: 

The Archies Vibe: Coffee, Creativity, and Connection

Our San Antonio coffee shop has a cozy, laidback yet lively atmosphere, no matter which location you visit. Our warm, welcoming interior creates a space where anyone can feel at home, whether you’re a creative looking for inspiration, a professional seeking a quiet nook for brainstorming or co-working, or a student settling in for a productive study session with reliable Wi-Fi. 

Locals and tourists alike love stopping by to fuel up while exploring the charming streets of King William. With convenient street parking (and a nearby Metropolis parking garage), a pet-friendly patio, free Wi-Fi, and online ordering, Archies King William makes it easy to grab your favorite drink and stay awhile.

What’s on our San Antonio Coffee Shop Menu

At Archies King William coffee shop, our menu is packed with classics and unique items to encourage you to embrace an adventurous spirit. Start with traditional rich espressos, smooth cold brews, and creamy seasonal lattes that rotate with the flavors of the season. 

If you need a different kind of boost, try our plant-based energy drinks made with green coffee bean and lotus extract, available in bright, fun flavors that keep you going without the crash. These energy drinks give you a natural lift of caffeine without the crash or jitters that make you feel like you need to force yourself to slow down.

For something a little more elevated, sip on one of our coffee-inspired cocktails. CBD- or THC-infused options are perfect for winding down after a long day. While you’re with us in King William, just ask a team member for more information about our rotating selection.

The canna-curious can also customize any drink with functional add-ons like CBD, THC, as well as other wellness enhancers, like immune boosters, Power Up (extra caffeine), collagen, or allergen shots for a truly personalized experience. Whether you’re here for your morning ritual, a mid-day pick-me-up, or a creative evening cocktail, there’s always something new to discover at Archies.

The Archies Ethos

Archies is more than your average coffee shop. We have crafted an Amsterdam-inspired space where coffee meets conversation, wellness, and education. Here, you can hang out with friends, host a casual work meeting, or take a quiet moment for yourself. Beyond great drinks, Archies is a hub for learning about CBD and THC in a safe, approachable way, encouraging curiosity and connection with every visit.

The King William Historic District

The King William Historic District is one of San Antonio’s most beloved neighborhoods. Around the mid-19th century, many Germans immigrated to Texas and began settling in this area. Quickly, it developed into a beautiful neighborhood with large, impressive mansions designed with architectural styles from the Victorian and Greek Revival eras. 

In 1968, the King William neighborhood became San Antonio’s first designated historic district, and today, that blending of rich history with a modern, creative energy makes it a must-visit destination.

You can stroll the old, tree-lined streets and step back into time or visit landmarks like the Beethoven Maennerchor (the oldest active German singing society in Texas!) to get some insight into the area’s storied past. 

Whether you’re spending the day exploring Southtown or simply looking for a beautiful place to recharge, this neighborhood is the perfect backdrop for a stroll with a coffee in hand.
