    We loved Bakery Lorraine at The Pearl! Everything was fresh, beautifully made, and full of flavor. The pastries were buttery and melt-in-your-mouth good, and the coffee was the perfect pick-me-up while exploring the Pearl area. The vibe is charming and busy in the best way, and it's absolutely worth stopping by if you're in San Antonio.

    Stopped by Bakery Lorraine (Medical Center location) for a quick bite, and it did not disappoint. I had the avocado toast with smoked salmon and a perfectly soft egg on top--super fresh and flavorful without feeling heavy. I paired it with an iced latte made with coconut milk and sugar-free vanilla, and honestly, it was perfect. Smooth, not too sweet, and exactly what I needed to get through the day. The staff was friendly, my order came out quickly, and the whole vibe was chill even though they were busy. Definitely a solid go-to spot in the area for good coffee and fresh bites.

    Breakfast Sandwich
    William W.

    Came here a few times and definitely a great spot to return to. Parking can be a little difficult since there are a few 15min only parking and limited open parking shared with neighboring shops; though can always park on the street next to the complex on Clinic Dr. Ambiance is always lively and bright, people chattering casually so probably not the best place to have a private conversation. Good place to study or do work if you have noise canceling headphones. The food is always wonderfully made. Pastries are made in excellent quality. The breakfast sandwiches are also very hearty and savory. Their fruit juices are made fresh as well as very well made coffee. Staff are always welcoming and cheerful. Because of the good food and friendly staff, will come back to try more dishes. Keep up the good work Cafe Lorraine!

    Huge croissant cinnamon roll
    Christine A.

    I quickly stopped by to pick up a cinnamon roll. The service was okay, the man working at the register asked me for my order, then immediately left to do something else in the middle of my sentence. I would not have minded if he excused himself or acknowledged it afterwards, but he didn't. When he returned, he asked for my order again and that was pretty much it. I was not mad about it, but it did feel quite rude. The cinnamon roll was really good! It was a huge cinnamon-flavored croissant with icing. It was the best cinnamon roll I have ever had; it wasn't too sweet, and it was flaky and buttery. I don't know if they can warm them, but mine was room temperature. I did not get the best look at the bakery, but I remember it looked cute to me. It's a small bakery, so it's pretty cozy and gives off a nice little cafe vibe.

    A delicious surprise... I was thrilled to see the Lorraine's standards of service and quality of food have transported perfectly to the new Medical Center location. I enjoyed a marvelous triple espresso... made with Merit espresso beans, which are full bodied and bright... We thoroughly enjoyed the cheese and peanut butter macaroon - yes, it taste like a cheese and peanut butter sandwich cracker. The staff was friendly and helpful... I appreciated them clarifying I wanted a triple espresso and not an Americano. I like my coffee strong. Cheers!

    Beet Salad
    Sam M.

    Excellent food, excellent atmosphere, and friendly staff! Their bakery items are exquisite and delicious. Can sit inside or outside, the back patio is nice when weather permits. This past time I tried their beet salad with goat cheese and fried chickpeas, which might be my new favorite. A little on the pricier side, but the quality of the ingredients, food, preparation and the experience make it well worth it. Also greatly appreciate the healthcare worker discount!

    Interior view from the indoor ordering line
    Sam S.

    I've only ever had pastries from Bakery Lorraine, but it's always one of my favorite spots when I need a good quality croissant or baked good. You can wait in line inside for their full service kitchen, but to save time, see if their side service window is open; the indoor line can take a while and I picked up my baked goods in a matter of a few minutes. The croissants are always a good choice, but if you're looking for a sweet option, grab a morning bun. Can't go wrong with the macarons either. Park in the Koehler Garage for 2 hours free parking.

    I am a big coffee and cake person. I make it my personal quest to look for places that fulfill this need. Bakery Lorraine has always been an easy stop, when I do not feel like searching for new hangouts. I remember Bakery Lorraine's beginnings, when they were located in a converted house, close to the Alamo Heights area. A friend took me there for the first time, and I loved the quaint look and the delicious breakfast. This was such a long time ago, I can't remember the meal I had, but I do remember being very impressed with their food. As now, they were known for their macaroons and made other cakes and pastries as well. Fast forward to 2022, the original location is long gone, but more Bakery Lorraine locations have been opened throughout SA. I stopped at their Medical area location for some tea and a muffin. To be truthful, my drink of choice is usually coffee, but I am not a big fan of Bakery Lorraine's coffee. I am not sure if it is the coffee itself or the way it is brewed, but it has a bitter too-much coffee taste. In fact, I find that a lot of places in this city tend to do this. The "hipper" the place, the more bitter the coffee. I can never seem to get past the first sip. Since I have had meals at Lorraine since its inception, I know this was not always the case, so I'm not sure what changed. The cakes at their Medical area were varied and the place was not crowded at all, which I loved. Their cakes are always pretty good, and this was the case of the muffin I purchased. It was worth the visit. For a beverage and cake stop, Bakery Lorraine certainly works. Maybe, at some point, their coffee will improve, but meanwhile, their other beverages, make it a good choice.

    Gigantic Almond Croissant! Looks half the size in a display case. So delicious and flaky- reminded me of the ones in London!
    Katie N.

    This place is always phenomenal. Simple coffees with big time pastries. Their almond croissants remind me of those I've had in Europe- so decadent. They have a large indoor area and a pretty big back patio with seating. I'd like to go back when I have more time to order food from the menu versus being on the run and grabbing a pastry.

    I too, downloaded this app to review this bakery!! I never leave reviews but this place is amazing!! The avocado toast with smoked salmon was the best I ever had. I enjoyed it with an Iced Brown sugar latter. Beautiful place to sip your drink and study! Or catch up with family or friends. Super friendly staff and very attentive. Stop by and support local

    Bakery goood. Coffee goood. Food goood. Vibe , seating , staff all so so good! every time i come here they never disappoint. One of the rare coffee shops that has really good Americano. Its not too light of a roast so i love it. There's a lot of seating and even outside. so when the weather is nice out def come. Because its a bakery i didn't expect much for their food options but omgosh all their sandwhiches and other food items come out in pretty big portions. so its definitely worth it.

    Chicken salad
    Monica G.

    Met up for lunch and had the chicken salad sandwich and a cheese sandwich with tomato soup. It was a great experience. Everything was so flavorful. This was the best grilled cheese I've ever had. I will definitely be back to get it again. love that they use different cheeses went perfectly with my tomato soup.

    Tomato soup and grilled cheese
    Leticia S.

    Look, I can tell you that the food was not fantastical, but that would make me a LIAR. The food here was SO good. I had the lunch special of 1/2 sandwich and 1/2 soup. . My friend said it looked so good that's what she's going to order next time. lol The sandwhich had multiple cheeses and it was one of those ones that you see in commercials. The cheese pulling apart and everything. Delicious. The soup was so creamy and luscious. And it's so cute and clean inside. It looks like a little boutique patisserie. The servers were awesome.

    Is there a trick to the wifi? I've been coming for three years and I can never log in to this locations wifi on any device. I have Apple.

    Staff says the wifi/internet is always bad. No trick, the owners just need to invest in a decent network. I have a PC and Apple; neither connects after multiple visits.

We were given menus to look at while we waited so by the time we got to the counter, we were ready to order. The baked goods aren't on the menu, so when we walked by the counter filled with croissants, kouign amann, bear claws, apple pie, cheese cakes, it was hard to choose what we wanted!! We ordered: the Alamo Burger: a 8 oz wagyu beef smash burger , served with a fried egg, caramelized onions, cheese on a crispy croissant bun. It was incredible and worth the 15-20 minute wait! Almond croissant - a monster sized, flaky croissant with a generous almond filling. Guy Fieri highlighted this croissant on his DD&D show. It's probably a million calories not worth it! Tequila strawberry tres leches croissant - a small, cream filled croissant with strawberries. This was our least favorite. My husband didn't like the filling, I didn't like the sogginess of the croissant. Coffee - really good brewed coffee with free refills. We plan to go back a few more times while we're in town!!

Instead, they offered a promo where if you buy a cheesecake jar, you got a free drink. Score! I tried the tres leches cheesecake, and it was delicious! It wasn't too sweet, which was great. I do wish the layer of cake was a bit taller. I do love how the cheesecakes come in a glass jar so I can reuse it, but you can also save them and give them back when you accumulate 10 for a free jar of cheesecake. As for the drink, I got a dragonfruit strawberry matcha latte. It was pretty good, but I felt like the strawberry was a little overpowering and I couldn't taste the dragonfruit.

They do have glutten free, sugar free options too if you are the type of person needing to watch what you eat. They all looked really cute but settled on a tiramisu. I wont lie I did get thrown off on taste at first since my thought keep me thinking it wasn't a cheesecake but it tasted good. I did bring it home to chill it more and tasted even better. I also had this mix berry match that was good as well. I think this place is definitely worth trying for any cheesecake lovers out there. Good coffee drinks too.
