Recommend: Yes. I stopped by Bakery Lorraine on Medical Center Dr. after a doctor's appointment, and I'm so glad I did. I came in a bit hungry and left completely satisfied. First off, the space is beautiful. The entrance is spotless and very inviting, with a cute, cozy vibe that immediately makes you want to stay awhile. It's the kind of place where you can picture reading a book, catching up with friends, or enjoying a relaxed brunch. There's plenty of seating inside, plus outdoor seating in both the front and the back. I especially loved the back area--it's shaded with trees and has a peaceful, almost park-like feel. I ordered at the counter and got a number, and my food came out in about 15 minutes. The staff was incredibly friendly, answered all my questions, and even helped me choose a lemonade--great service all around. For food, I tried the quiche Lorraine (with bacon, caramelized onions, and Gruyère cheese) and a side of potatoes, along with a lemonade. Everything was delicious. The quiche was rich and savory, with a perfectly baked crust that balanced nicely with the soft, creamy egg filling. The portion might look small at first, but it's actually very filling. The potatoes were also a standout--crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and well-seasoned. The lemonade tasted fresh and homemade, which made it even better. I didn't take photos inside since it was a bit busy, but the atmosphere is definitely worth experiencing in person. Overall, I highly recommend this location--great food, friendly staff, and a relaxing, beautiful space. I'll definitely be back! read more

Fresh pastries and friendly service. Easy in and out but parking is limited and there is a Merit coffee here as well. Clean space to enjoy your baked goods and great to meet up with someone. Average noise but can be quiet as well. Well lit inside. Closes around 3pm daily. $$ read more

Bakery Lorraine never disappoints. I picked up a box of pastries from the Good To Go option and everything was such good quality. You can really taste how well-made everything is. The chocolate croissant was my favorite, perfectly flaky and rich, and the mince pies were also really good. I also love their cute outdoor seating area in the back, it's a nice spot to hang out if you have time to stay. read more

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. read more

My family and I had a prolonged ER visit and just needed some food. In the past there have been some gluten friendly options. Today when I asked if perhaps a sandwich could be made with a gluten friendly bread- The woman at the register flatly said No we don't have anything. And then laughed. Now. If I hadn't had a migraine and stomach pain from the accidental gluten exposure this morning maybe it would not have stung so bad. But regardless, I didn't choose to have guts that are F'd by gluten and no it's not funny. Go be hungry and desperate and get laughed in the face. Walked two doors down to Merit where I can always get a gluten friendly Hippie Bar. Never coming back. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Came here for breakfast after fasting for labs. Found the prices way too high for the amount of food.

I placed an order on the TooGoodToGo app. I picked up my order from the Medical Drive location. The items I received were delicious and fresh. I received a nice variety of pastries and breakfast items. I was attended by Kelli and she provided such wonderful service. She was friendly attentive and made the whole experience feel welcoming and easy. It's clear she truly cares about customers and takes pride in what she does. Because of her kindness and professionalism, my visit was even more enjoyable. I'll definitely be going back! Thank you, Kellie for making my day brighter!!! read more

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. read more

Nice vibe and very clean. I had the baked oatmeal and sweet potato cake. Both were delicious.

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! read more

Current guilty/not guilty pleasure! I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and started chemo treatments in March. Part of the chemo regimen is that I cannot eat out and have to be very careful in how food is prepared. We found this lovely bakery near the Medical Center and my treatment hospital and called in a to go order so I would not be in public. Image my delight when I got some of the BEST Avocado Toast w/Lentils I have ever had and finished it off with fabulous Cinnamon Toast Macaron. Now, it is a blessing if my chemo treatments are done weekly before 3:30pm so I can make it by Bakery Lorraine before the close at 4pm for a fantastic to go meal that they are kind enough to package special for me to go. Lovely meal, lovely people and lovely pastries. So recommend! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Cute, clean cafe, with ample seating. The avo toast was huge and my favorite here. The scone and coffe cake and other baked goods were all decent. However, our americano was lukewarm and kinda meh. The kid portions are huge. We ordered the little soldiers (French toast sticks were huge), and grilled cheese off the kids menu. The French toast on the regular menu came with crème anglaise. The tuna on croissant sandwich was smoky tuna with vinegar base topped with a hard boiled egg. read more

Great lattes and salmon! Pretty presentation and nice atmosphere. Good study place and nice customer service.

I don't know what's happened but Med Center took a nosedive. Don't get me totally wrong, the manager is a super nice guy, and the employees WILL do their best to make up for any inconveniences, but two visits in a row? C'mon, man. Today's visit started off normal. The manager rang me up, asked if I wanted my latte for here or to go, I said for here. Well they gave it to me in a to go cup. Honestly? Not a big deal. Just didn't want to take any home if I couldn't finish it. But then I saw folks who walked in after me getting their meals, one after the other. People in the back would look at me through the pickup window like I was just taking up room. The manager was taking a break sitting down doing work on a laptop so I didn't want to bug him, so I asked the girl at cashier about my baked oatmeal. She said it would be out shortly. My meal arrived about 5 minutes later but by then I'm pretty sure I waited about 30 minutes plus. The server said they refunded my order due to the wait. I mean, that's fine and all, but I'm still irked that this happened to me the last time I came here, too. Normally I don't like to call out folks and I'm content to let it go for one issue, maybe due to an off day. But it wasn't busy at all, so honestly, there was no excuse to let my order fall through the cracks. read more

Such a cute little bakery with the best cinnamon rolls and turkey pesto paninis! Definitely recommend!

This is at a very convenient location right in front of the health profession school! I tried the chocolate caramel tart and the lemon blueberry frangipane tart, and they were one of the best tarts I had. The only downside was like it was a little expensive. The chocolate caramel tart was so rich in chocolate flavor, but you could definitely taste the salted caramel with each bite. It hits you after the initial chocolate flavor!The pastry that made the tart was also very nutty and made a perfect balance to the sweet+salty combo. The lemon blueberry tart was something that I've never tasted before, but it was THE BEST pastry I hav had. The blueberry nodes had most of the flavor with fresh blueberries on top, but the lemon was the kick that made it so good! It had blueberry jam and also an almond cream that made the pastry so soft and buttery. Each bite was so delicious and I would come just for this tart again. Can't wait to try the rest of their desserts! Also, both of these desserts were beautiful. If you want to gift someone a little treat for their birthday, these are perfect. read more

Stopped in for coffee and decided to get breakfast. I've never had anything other than coffee and a pastry here so I branched out and tried the chicken salad croissant. I'm a fan of chicken salad but recipes vary. Depending on the restaurant sometimes it's too bland, too wet, too dry. But usually. I enjoy it. Not so much today. I was served an overdone croissant that had a very dry chicken salad (only the slightest amount of mayo/mixture on chunks of what appear to be pulled roasted chicken. Nicely dressed with grapes and sprouts and some white opaque chunks of vegetable that could be the stems of a lettuce or maybe jicama.. not sure - those were flavorless. The house made potato chips are good and the coffee was excellent. Staff were friendly and efficient. If the croissant had not been overdone and the chicken salad a little less dry I'd say 4 stars... I'll come back because I know some of their other items are good, but probably won't try this late again. read more

I've been to the location at the Pearl so I was already familiar with the menu options. I figured that this was a solid choice for a quick lunch with my husband. Unfortunately, my husband and I felt that our visit fell short. The employee at the counter wasn't rude by any means but at the same time, they weren't very welcoming. Perhaps they were having a rough day or dealing with a personal issue. It wasn't really that big of a deal, just a little bit off setting. I ordered a ham and brie sandwich. I was a bit disappointed because the edges of the bread were burned.... not just a little either, they were black as can be! It completely ruined the taste of the sandwich. If I'm paying $12+ for a sandwich, it better taste good! I'm shocked that they would even attempt to serve anything that wasn't of good quality. My husband ordered the chicken salad sandwich. The croissant was absolutely delightful! The chicken salad fell short. It was lacking flavor and texture. Again, if I'm paying $12+ for a sandwich, the flavor should reflect the price point. We were both disappointed in the food quality. The value and quality didn't match the price. We had initially considered also ordering a pastry for dessert but changed our mind after receiving sub par food. Sadly, we don't have any intentions of returning. read more

They're famous for a reason in SA. Came here for a quick bite during our lunch break, and it was delicious. The cashier was great on suggestions for first-timers, and really knew the menu. We sat outside, and there was a server keeping all the times very clean! I ordered the BLT, but it was hands down the BEST BLT I've ever had. Some sort of sauce or cheese that just elevated this simple sandwich. Lunch deals are super worth it! Got a small slice of cheesecake to finish off, and it was just whipped perfectly. read more

Cappuccino was a 10 out of 10. Everything else was meh. Although beautiful, my croissant was underwhelming. It was cold, and the server didn't offer to warm it up. I also ordered the avocado, toast and smoked salmon. The bread was fluffy and airy with the right amount of crisp, but it was lacking flavor. The location and atmosphere itself to me is top-notch for a bakery/coffee shop. read more

The first time I tried Bakery Lorraine, I fell in love with the food and macarons. However, over the years the prices have gone up and the quality, overall, has gone down. Looking at you grilled cheese and the lack of fontina on the tomato soup cheese bread. But, I keep going because it has some food and flavors that are hard to find, or they used to be at least. Now, there are a lot of bakery's that serve this style of food, similar quality, with lower prices. Not that my business matters too much to them, I am just one customer, but if Bakery Lorraine wants to stay competitive they need to start focusing on customer service. When the hours say 7 am to 4 pm, I would think the doors would be open by at least 7:20. When the employee and I make eye contact on either side of the window, maybe let me know something instead of just turning your back. I'm willing to pay $16.00 for bread, egg, and sausage but you have to open the door, when I have to be at work by 8:00. I went to McDonald's, got through their drive through and got essentially the same components of the dish for $4.15, and it took less than 4 minutes. But, like I said, I'm one customer, it may not matter in the grand scheme of things. read more
