San Antonio is a thin wholesale market: the local base is very small, so the realistic sourcing plan for a shop here is a supplier that ships plus a Houston account, which is roughly three hours east and by far the deepest catalog in Texas. That distance is short enough for truck delivery rather than freight if you can get on a route, which is the single biggest cost lever available to a San Antonio shop. Because reorder lead times run longer than in a supplied metro, shops here generally hold more cover on the handful of items that stop service — tapioca, your top syrups, cups and lids — and treat everything else as flexible.
With a local base this small, a shipping account is how shops in San Antonio cover what is not stocked nearby. These wholesalers list national shipping:
The local base is very small — see the listing above, which does ship. Most San Antonio shops also hold a Houston account.
About three hours from Houston, which has the deepest wholesale base in Texas. Austin is closer but has a small base of its own.
Truck, if you can get on a route — it is materially cheaper on heavy items. Ask a Houston supplier whether they run into San Antonio and on which day before defaulting to freight.
