Another small San Antonio business is cutting its time short due to a lack of foot traffic, a trend that has persisted in recent years<\/a>. Besitos Cafe disclosed its decision to close in a candid Facebook post that spelled out exactly why the business would end its run on Nogalitos Street.<\/p>\n

Besitos Cafe held its grand opening on November 1, 2025, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a mariachi performance. Less than a year later, the neighborhood coffee shop is calling it quits.<\/p>\n

“We have been incredibly slow the last few months and we aren’t able to make it,” the cafe wrote in a Facebook post<\/a> on Thursday, June 25. “This decision was not an easy one.”<\/p>\n

Besitos Cafe brought something familiar yet distinct to the downtown Harris neighborhood, which boasts classic local eateries like Maria’s Cafe and Tommy’s Restaurant<\/a>. The cafe offered sweet specialty lattes, with flavors like Dubai chocolate and marzipan, alongside a selection of breakfast tacos and tortas. Besitos Cafe also became a place for local artists to share their work in the humble space.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Whether you stopped by for your morning coffee, breakfast, or simply to spend time with us, you became part of our story,” the Facebook post said.<\/p>\n

The final day of service for Besitos Cafe is Sunday, July 12. Until then, customers can still visit the family-owned shop for one last latte or a quick meal. MySA has reached out to the business for additional comment.<\/p>\n

“The art work on the wall is still for sale till we close, hopefully people can come help support the artist,” the cafe added in a message exchange. “We just loved the cafe, the idea of it.”<\/p>\n
