Lamppost Coffee opened its fourth location Dec. 1 at 407 S. Stagecoach Trail, Ste. 103, San Marcos. The first shop was opened more than five years ago in Round Rock by owner Brian Burns, and the business has grown off of its meticulous approach to craft coffee. The Lamba Latte is the house specialty, made with an in-house secret syrup. Other popular offerings include an espresso milkshake, boxed coffee and beans from Wild Gift Coffee. www.lamppost.coffee
