SAN ANTONIO — The best cup of coffee in the world is made in San Antonio. At least according to celebrity foodie Alton Brown.

In a Tweet posted Friday morning, the Food Network star admitted is love for a cup of Joe from Brown Coffee Co. to his more than 1 million followers.

"Say hello to the best cup of coffee I've ever had in my life. Thanks, @browncoffeeco. #ABRoadEatsSAT"

Wow. Big props from a food expert who's consumed countless cups of coffee from around the world.

But for those of us in San Antonio who appreciate spectacular java, we are well aware of what Brown Coffee can do.

See the gallery above for a roundup of the best coffee shops in San Antonio.

The coffee shop, which sources and roasts its beans, was named the top coffee joint in San Antonio in the recently published San Antonio Express-News Top 100 list, an insider's guide to all things food and drink in the Alamo City.

Whether it's drip coffee, an Americano or espresso, it's all good there. So Alton, we feel you, brother.

Brown Coffee Co. has two locations in San Antonio: 1800 Broadway and 1702 W. Kings Hwy.

The Food Network star will be performing at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts Friday at 7:30.

"The two-hour show is a unique blend of stand up comedy, food experimentation, talk show antics, multimedia lecture, and, for the first time...live music," according to the Tobin Center's website.
