The Jefferson neighborhood coffee shop The Koffee Kup Co. will pour its last cups this coming Sunday, April 19, wrapping up eight years on Donaldson Avenue. The April 18–19 weekend will be the final chance to visit the small storefront that has served students and neighbors for years. Owners had already scaled back service to weekend mornings, so the farewell is shaping up as a quiet, very Jefferson kind of goodbye.
Announcement and Last Days
The cafe's closure was announced in a brief Facebook post and reported by MySA: "After 8 amazing years, Koffee Kup is closing its doors. Our last day is April 19th; come by, grab a coffee, and celebrate all the memories with us!" The outlet also noted that the owners told it they were "shifting into a new chapter" as their children have grown up and their careers have changed.
Jefferson-Area Roots
Long a small but steady presence in the Jefferson neighborhood, the shop was revived under owner Marisol De La Cruz and built a reputation for house blends and community events, according to the San Antonio Current. Earlier coverage also highlighted its proximity to Thomas Jefferson High School and its steady draw for both students and nearby residents.
Limited Hours Make Farewell Brief
Local listings show the Donaldson Avenue storefront had trimmed service to weekend mornings, generally 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, making the April 18–19 window a short one for a final visit, per listings compiled by Joe.coffee. That schedule means regulars who want to say goodbye will need to plan on a morning stop this weekend.
Owners' Message
In a direct message to MySA, the cafe said it was "incredibly grateful for the support and connections we've built along the way" and added that "we will definitely miss everyone." The owners did not say whether they plan to reopen elsewhere or what will become of the space once the espresso machine powers down.
For locals who built weekend rituals around the shop's Mexican mocha and kolaches, the closing marks a small but meaningful shift in the Jefferson neighborhood's rhythm. The Koffee Kup's corner counter and community events leave a footprint that customers say will be missed, even as the owners step into that next chapter they have been hinting at.
