Just Love Coffee Cafe Opens First San Antonio Location

San Antonio

Just Love Coffee Cafe, a Tennessee-based franchise, is opening its first San Antonio location at 6010 UTSA Blvd. #209. The cafe is known for a menu that pairs traditional coffee drinks with a distinctive set of items prepared on a waffle iron and for a stated mission to support families going through the adoption process. The exact opening date for the San Antonio store has not been confirmed, though a listing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation indicates construction or licensing completion could occur by October.

Key details up front

The San Antonio location will bring the chain’s signature beverage offerings—lattes, cappuccinos, mochas—and a food menu built around waffle-iron preparations, including waffled omelets, breakfast burritos, hashbrowns, biscuit sandwiches, calzones, and traditional waffles. The brand began as an online coffee shop and expanded into brick-and-mortar operations in 2011; it has since grown to 50 locations, with a mix of standalone stores and outlets located inside Walmart stores.

Supporting information

The company’s founders faced financial challenges during their own adoption process, and those experiences shaped the cafe’s stated mission to support adoptive families. One of the founders, an amateur coffee roaster, initially launched the business online before opening the first physical cafe in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in 2011. Since that first storefront, the chain has franchised and expanded to multiple locations nationwide.

The San Antonio announcement arrives in a competitive local coffee market that has seen recent openings and new entries. The addition of Just Love will add another option for local customers, combining standard coffeehouse beverages with a food concept emphasizing waffle-iron preparation.

What is known about the menu and format

Drink menu highlights are largely classic espresso-based beverages. Food offerings emphasize items prepared on a waffle iron, turning many savory and breakfast items into uniquely textured versions. The San Antonio site is expected to follow the chain’s existing formats, which include both standalone cafes and in-store locations within large retail partners.

Timeline and next steps

Firm public details about the San Antonio opening—such as a grand opening date, hours of operation, staffing, or an on-site schedule—are not yet available. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation listing indicates work or licensing activity with a potential completion by October. Additional information will be published as it becomes available and as the cafe confirms an official opening date.

Practical information for readers

Address: 6010 UTSA Blvd. #209, San Antonio. The cafe’s concept combines standard coffeehouse drinks with a novelty-focused food approach using a waffle iron. The chain’s growth to 50 locations suggests a franchised expansion model with some stores located inside national retailers and others operating as standalone cafes.

Background

The business evolved from an online coffee operation started by one of the founders, who had experience roasting coffee as an amateur. The first physical store opened in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in 2011. Over time the brand expanded through franchising, growing to 50 locations across various states. The founders’ personal experience with adoption and the related financial strain is cited as the impetus for the organization’s mission to assist adoptive families.

An update will be provided when the company or local regulators release confirmed dates or additional operational details for the San Antonio location.
