In My Opinion By Elizabeth Anderson:
Cool Cafe in San Antonio, TX lives Up To Its Name! I’m torn between shouting the merits of this low-key Mediterranean cafe from the rooftops, and selfishly keeping it to myself. Cool Cafe on the banks of the River North district is an undiscovered gem with incredibly consistent fare. We’re lucky to live in the area, and with the museum reach Riverwalk expansion nearly complete, we’ll soon be able to walk from the Pearl Brewery down to the area near Municipal Auditorium. Cool Cafe is located at 123 Auditorium circle, adjacent to the Havana Riverwalk Inn.
The service is exceptional, the staff is approachable and informed – but they don’t hover, which is important when you’re looking to enjoy a leisurely meal.
The menu is varied with flavorful options from salads, pastas, sandwiches, traditional basmati rice dishes, sweet and savory crepes and more! Tons of healthy options mixed in with indulgent and rich dishes as well. When I’m trying to be good I stick to the chicken or lamb kabobs – but if I feel like being a little naughty I’ll down the portobello pasta in a rich sun dried tomato cream sauce.
The real selling point of this spot is the setting. Large glass paned bay doors line the dining room with serene views of the Riverwalk just. Intricate wrought iron chandeliers and casual patio furniture lend the space a romantic “midnight in the garden of yummy” type vibe.
Parking is limited but this location makes the perfect stop on an afternoon or evening stroll of the River North district. You can park at Pearl and enjoy a shaded stroll down to the Navarro Street bridge!
Hope you enjoy one of my favorite Alamo City haunts!

Here’s a great way to try Cool Cafe – we still have a few $50 gift certificates that you can buy for just $25. It’s a steal – great food at half price… http://tinyurl.com/coolcafe

I did not know they had another location! I’ve been to their Vance Jackson place and the food was great there as well. The service was good and I was able to meet the owner last time I went he was very friendly. I like the new restaurant location sounds like a great way to spend an evening.
