Alongside the state-of-the-art gymnasium at the Tri-Point YMCA at St. Mary's Street/U.S. 281 sits the new Grace Coffee Café. Located in the former Albertsons building, Grace Coffee Café is run by Trinity Baptist Church with café profits supporting the church's ministry and San Antonio community.
While the café's menu is small, what is available is nicely prepared, with some healthful options. You can get regular potato chips, of course, but baked ones are offered. There are cookies and oversized muffins, but you can also order a healthful fruit smoothie.
And while you can get a mayonnaise-based chicken salad sandwich, there's also ham with mustard. The sandwiches, cookies and smoothies are made in-house; the pound cake and muffins are made by an area bakery.
Grace is a place to quickly grab something that's well prepared. The café offers a large, inviting and relaxing spot in which to enjoy your breakfast, lunch and dinner. No one is standing over your shoulder waiting for you to free a table for another diner, and free Wi-Fi is available. It appears you could spend several hours over one of Grace's nice coffee drinks and no one would try to rush you out.
It appears the café gets many of its customers from the YMCA; the café's fruit juices and smoothies in several flavors, including an excellent mango made with apple juice, appeal. Seattle's Finest Coffee, passion tea and Mexican cola are also available.
We found the sandwiches well-made, particularly a celery-rich chicken salad simply dressed with mayonnaise. The staff is also accommodating, offering to heat a muffin and making us a sandwich shortly before closing. Yet another way of serving the community.
