We were surprised to see mochi donuts! I had been yelping mochi donuts since yesterday and this placed never popped up on my search. Nevertheless, it was delicious and satisfied my sweet daughters cravings. I only got me a few macarons which I loved (I love macarons but not necessarily all macarons). We'll be sure to stop by again before we leave! Great service too!

There's so many great places to explore downtown, but Paris Baguette is one of my favorites…read more I had my first Strawberry Mochi Donut. I loved that unique dual texture of chewy/spongy and soft. How did they do that? I appreciate that it wasn't heavy at all. It paired perfectly with my Dirty Chai Latte. Another must try is the harmonious sweet and citrusy Lemon Blueberry Mochi Donut. The Chausson aux Pommes (French Apple Turnover) is a perfect balance of buttery and flaky filled with apple compote. And who would have thought to put basil or cucumber in an egg salad sandwich on milk bread? Tastes so fresh. I love walking by The Gunter Hotel along the St. Mary's because the warm, inviting aromas of fresh breads and pastries that waft in the air all the way to E. Houston. It's the best.

There are two entrances to Kilwins; the more popular one is along Alamo Plaza and the other is on…read moreLosoya Street. This shop sells fudge, truffles, candied apples, and - what I came for - ice cream! They had a lot of ice cream flavors to choose from, a least a couple dozen. The smiling young woman working behind the ice cream counter offered to give tastes, but I had already figured out which flavors I wanted. I chose two scoops in a cup, one of Cappucino Chip and the other Turtle Cheesecake. They have several tables to sit at, some along a hallway and more in a back room. I took a seat and was in awe of the huge scoops given. The Cappuccino Chip had a mild flavor (I prefer it stronger) but a fair number of tiny chocolate chips. The Turtle Cheesecake had an excellent cheesecake flavor with swirls of caramel, praline pecans, and caramel-filled mini turtles. I'm usually not fond of nuts in my ice cream but I actually enjoyed the pralines. In my humble opinion, there were too few turtles. But I still loved it. If you're in the mood for a cold, creamy treat while visiting the Alamo, you'll find this to be the perfect place to visit.

They had music playing, the shop smelled amazing, and I loved the decor with the vines and lemons hanging from the ceiling. There was plenty of seating, and the staff was very friendly. Since it was our first time, they explained the menu and told us what their most popular items were. We ordered two mango sherbets with lemon, and they were really good and super refreshing. We sat outside, and since it was so hot, after a few bites I started to cool down right away. My only suggestion would be to make the mango flavor a little stronger, but it was still delicious. Next time, I definitely want to try the lemon one because I feel like it's going to be even more refreshing. I can already see myself coming back!

Commonwealth Coffee was good, but not the best coffee experience I've had. The interior itself is…read morevery clean and has plenty of space inside to sit and relax, which I appreciated. However, parking was difficult and not very convenient. The coffee was good and smooth, but nothing that really stood out. It was solid quality, just not something I'd go out of my way for. One thing that surprised me was the price. My latte was listed at $7, but with all the extra charges for add-ons it quickly became $9+, which felt a bit pricey even coming from Chicago where coffee can already be expensive. What really affected the rating for me was the service speed. It was probably the slowest coffee service I've experienced. I waited about 15 minutes for two lattes, and there was only one other person ahead of me. For a simple order, that felt like a long time. Overall, it's a nice café with a clean, spacious atmosphere and decent coffee, but the pricing and slow service make it somewhere I'd visit occasionally rather than regularly.

I really love this coffee cafe, located in the Hemisfair district of San Antonio. I spent time here…read moretwice. Formerly a house, the interior of this cafe has a serene feel inside with comfortable seating. There is also seating on the front porch and a huge backyard patio deck. You order at the counter, which is right when you walk in the front door. Your order is brought to your table, wherever you may be sitting. On my first visit I had a croque monsieur, a deli ham and melted cheese sandwich with béchamel sauce between toasted bread. It was delicious and was served with potato chips. I also got a hot vanilla latte, served in a mug, which was absolute perfection. One thing I liked was the absence of laptop campers. I only spotted one on both of my visits. People come here to quietly socialize or just take a break from life for a few minutes. My second visit was mainly to get another one of those fantastic vanilla lattes but I also chose a chocolate croissant from their pastry case. The croissant, served on a nice dish, was fresh, flakey, and full of chocolate. I sat, relaxed, and felt like things didn't get much better than this.

Their baking ingredients are sourced from France and the recipes are from her and her husband. And they're a local restaurant which I love supporting! We had the Petit Dejuener Deluxe breakfast which includes one pastry (either a croissant, chocolate croissant or bread pudding), a baguette (with either butter, homemade jam or honey), organic fresh eggs made to order or quiche slice, fresh squeezed orange juice and a yogurt with granola and fresh fruit and a black coffee or tea. It's a great option for those unable to decide on what to eat for breakfast. They have sandwiches, individual baked goods, à la carte items and hot and cold drink options as well. Coffee is strong n tasty Quiche is not dry at all Baguette and croissant are fresh baked Homemade jam Fresh squeezed OJ! Makes me happy!

The 4 tiny mochi on a bamboo pick is flavored and small along with a very crunchy, fresh taiyaki that had a mochi inside texture. Lots of seating and a bright area that was welcoming. It comes out to about $10 for taiyaki with filled ice cream or $5 for just plain taiyaki. A fun little cafe and the matcha is lightly flavored with a tiny hint of bitterness, soft serve, and similar to Japanese style. It is not as strongly flavored as other Japanese-origin matcha ice cream chains. Taiyaki was perfectly crispy and good. Note that the center of the ice cream in the cup portion is empty but the taiyaki itself is filled with ice cream.
