absolutely horrible experience waited 45 minutes for a breakfast sandwich. people that ordered behind me were getting their food before I was. I did not even receive the food and just had left after 45 minutes of waiting and basically just gave the restaurant free money. I've worked in the restaurant industry for many years and 45 + minutes for one singular breakfast sandwich ticket is utterly ridiculous. will not be returning. read more

My go to for espresso and macaroons. Try any of their seasonal tarts and you won't be disappointed!

Cute and chic spot in a great area. The vibe is nice and I can see why people like it. For me, the experience was just okay. It's a small place, the food felt pretty simple, and since you order at the counter, things come out whenever they're ready--which can be a bit awkward if you're sharing. That said, it seems like a great place to meet a friend for coffee and a pastry, and I get the appeal. Just wasn't my best visit this time around. read more

Friendly staff, and their offerings are quite plentiful. Macarons were airy, tasty, and fragrant. The little box they pack them in is a small work of art, so I had to get some for my daughter back home. I just wish their coffee were a little stronger, so get that extra shot. read more

I love the coffee from here, but coming to this location was horrible. I asked the man serving our macaroon since they weren't serving food anymore what the most popular coffee was and he said "idk just pick one" Then mad dogged me the entire time I was there. Don't come here unless you want to be treated poorly by this man. The female workers were all friendly. read more

Would definitely recommend. The coffee was hot, the overall vibe of the cafe was cozy in a cute way, and the service was attentive and friendly as well. The location is amazing as it's right in the Pearl area. The seasonal fruit tart, a popular menu item, was A+++. So good and fresh! read more

We stumbled upon this bakery while visiting the Pearl and I am so glad we did. I got a chocolate croissant, BL BLT sandwich and a brown sugar latte, all of which exceeded my expectations. I asked for the croissant to be warmed it and it was super flakey and buttery! The BLT definitely stole the show for me. I loved how the bacon was thin and crispy, how thin and chewy the bread was and the perfect amount of avocado. We came in on a Sunday about 11am and it was getting pretty busy, most of the tables were taken. I didn't know they had one in Austin as well so I will definitely want to see if it tastes the same, I had a great experience here! read more

Had a matcha latte for the afternoon pick up. Staff is so friendly. The desserts look amazing and can't wait to come back.

Was craving a tiramisu and was in the pearl. Decided to stop in. Was also wanting a chocolate croissant but they didn't have any. The shop was beautiful and lovely. The service was good too. A bit expensive!! The tiramisu was tasty and similar to what I had in Italy. read more

A cute small bakery located at the Pearl. I love their selections of pastries. Decided to try their Kouign Amann and enjoyed it! They were busy the day we were there, but the line went by fairly quick. Sadly, they were out of their french toast which is something my daughter wanted. So we will go back for that and try out other pastries. read more

Not sure why this is so highly rated. Maybe the sandwiches are good. We came here for baked goods to have with coffee. Unfortunately, they had a dismal variety! We opted for a cheesecake muffin to split and a cookie Both looked good. Sadly, they were dry tasteless and not even very sweet. Terrible. Especially if you love cookies as I do! I literally threw it into the trash The coffee wasn't any better All in all a big disappointment. The two stars are for the cuteness of the place and its location. Really nice area full of little shops and families read more

Coffee was not even like warm. Took it back and they just poured more warm coffee on top. So not hot at all.

Nice, bright, open atmosphere. The staff were all friendly, and the food was good. I enjoyed the veggie frittata and would get it again. The grapefruit juice tasted surprisingly fresh, and the coffee was better than expected. read more

Cute restaurant with indoor outdoor seating. The baked goods were amazing! Perfect macaroons, almond croissants that tasted just like the ones in Paris! The coffee was great. My kids opted for lunch and had the Italian sandwich on sourdough. Absolutely a must, large enough to share and still be full. The chicken salad croissant was also very good. Service was quick. Easy in and out even with it being busy on spring break. Sandwiches were around $14.50, baked goods were around $6. read more

Bakery Lorraine - I'm not sure what happened here but I ordered to go at the Pearl Location.. - Bakeries Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Having gone to Bakery Lorraine a couple times, this has definitely become my go-to bakery whenever I visit San Antonio. There are other coffee shops nearby, but if you are willing to wait in line then I personally feel you might as well go to Lorraine as I am a fan of their drinks and their pastries. The service is always very friendly and it is a comfortable spots to sit around in. The wait can get a bit long during prime hours, but it is worth it to me. I enjoyed their cuban sandwich, almond croissants, and hazelnut tarts the most. In my last couple visits I also ordered the chai latte and iced mocha and they were one of the better beverages I have had in my trip. The hazelnut tart was also one of the best tarts I have ever had. The rich hazelnut flavor and the texture was so perfect while not having an overpowering sweetness to it. Their almond croissants are pretty popular also as they were sold out when I came during my most recent trip, but it was so good. 10/10 for everything. I highly recommend a trip here if you visit the Pearl. read more

The delightful macarons are a true treat, perfect for any occasion. The assorted 12-pack is ideal for sharing, and guessing the flavors together is a fun game we do with guests that visit us. If you're a macaron lover, you won't be disappointed! PS: They offer Military Discounts. Thank you, Bakery Lorraine, for supporting our Veterans! read more

I remember when Bakery Lorraine was on the opposite side of the Pearl in a quaint home. Now it has blown up and for good reason. Their bakery is everything. Full of flavor and creativity, stopping here never gets old. They might get so busy that the staff may seem rushed and a little off putting. My experiences here did feel that way lately, but it has not stopped me from raving about the pastries. The Pearl location is the busiest and coming here on a regular Tuesday is much more manageable and probably the best time to go. read more

Great location and cute place! Located in the center of the Pearl it's a perfect place to grab a cup of fancy joe on your walk around the riverwalk. They have breakfast as well and delicious desserts which includes macaroons. Although quite busy, so plan ahead, or get there early, staff always has a smile. read more

We ran across this French bakery while exploring the pearl, they have a good selection of pastries and macrons , I ended up getting the rum cake which was fantastic , not too sweet and had walnut pieces inside. The rum flavor was a bit heavy but really enjoyed it. I also got a matcha latte which was average, I like it stronger but the flavor was not very prominent. Service was great and people were friendly. Ambiance was ok and I wasn't a fan of the seating areas, they were uncomfortable and tables were wobbly. Good pastry shop overall read more

Food yummy down to the dessert. Very busy as it is a tourist area. Modern nevus decor.

Came for a weekend brunch that coincided with an outdoor farmer's market and it was super busy. Line moves pretty quick though but good luck finding seating indoors. Quiche Lorraine - $9.50 - 4.5/5 Excellent quiche that came with a fresh clean salad on the side. Little heavy on the price for just one slice of quiche and a small salad, but I would get this again. Delicious. Almond Croissant - $4.00 - 3.5/5 I can see the almond croissant being very good if it were fresh. I would imagine the croissant being warm and fluffy. Unfortunately, by the time I got mine, it was hard and crunchy. They did add a sweet honey mixture on the inside which was delicious, but not enough to counteract the pain the roof of my mouth suffered on a $4 croissant. read more

The Rim I ordered a quiche, and somebody burned it. When I asked them, they told me that was how it was served, so I'll let them know next time. I showed them a picture from their website of how their quiche was supposed to be serve, and they ignored me--spent $45.00 for two. It's definitely not going to be next time. read more

Super cute bakery at the Pearl. All the pastries looked amazing. We ordered our food and drink at the counter, they gave us a number and we sat outside waited for our food. We ordered the following: - seasonal fruit tart: super yummy and good amount of sweetness and tartness. I really enjoyed the mascarpone cream. - Cuban: stuffed with meat and veggies. Very tasty. - salmon on everything croissant: dill cream cheese was delicious. - croissant sandwich: sausage and eggs sandwiches. The croissant nice and flakey. - latte: pretty good. Nothing special. Definitely come back here for the food and maybe try another drink. read more

All the open tables were dirty. Bathrooms out of paper. Croissants cold and lifeless. Overall this is two steps below any Starbucks in town. Should have stopped elsewhere I guess. read more

I tried this place months ago and never stopped thinking about their butter cake. It is truly something special! So soft, moist, and sweet in a way that is not over powering. Was visiting San Antonio this weekend and made a point to stop here and get some of their butter cake again along with a few more things. Their butter cake was just as delicious as it was months ago. I also got to try their lemon cake and fruit tart. Not only are they beautiful pastries, but they also taste amazing. This place is really worth a trip to San Antonio! I am already dreaming of going back! read more

Stopped in here with my daughter for brunch. It's at The RIM and close to UTSA. It is a little on the pricier side, but as is everything in The RIM. The only thing we wouldn't order again would be the Pain au Chocolat as it didn't seem fresh and was dry. Overall very good and we'll be back. read more

A fresh review is in order. I really love watching the Pearl wake up in the morning ... getting ready for the farmers market. Bakery Lorraine is a great place to grab a coffee, pastry or breakfast plate. Today was quiche Lorraine with bacon and cheese and a side.of potatoes. The quiche was light and fluffy. The potatoes could have used more flavor, but they were cooked perfectly. At the cost of just $12 I was surprised how much was on the plate. The coffee is always good and nutty. I added a half dozen macaroons for later. The service was fast, friendly and polite. read more

I ordered an iced latte. There were 2 people in front of me. It took 20 minutes for them to make my drink! The lady in front of me had time to eat her entire meal while I was still waiting. Everyone who came in after was served their drinks right away. I went to ask how much longer and was told my order was next. I will never come back. read more

Always love the sweets from Bakery Lorraine. Glad to stop by for AAPI Heritage Month, get the 10% off and get my stamp on the passport. My husband wanted the almond croissant, I've never tried moonpie and I got the Strawberry popheart for Dad. The line was long as usual and thankfully, it moved along pretty quickly. Dad ate half of his popheart and I ate the moonpie. So sweet! So good though. read more

Came in at the last hour of operation on a Saturday night. They closed their kitchen for hot foods fairly early that night, so I stuck with only trying out their macarons. All their macarons were delicious, except for birthday cake. Pina Colada, Honey, Cassis (berries), Triple Vanilla, and Raspberry were full of flavor and fragrance. The birthday cake didnt taste like much of anything. A few of these flavors I got for free, as they decided to give me some additional broken ones close to closing time. That was nice of them. read more

Cute bakery in the pearl area, must stop if you're craving something sweet. We came on a Sunday morning and was greeted with a fast moving line and delicious looking pastry selections. We ordered food and was impressed by how quickly the food was delivered to the table- so quickly that I was confused about my order. - Quiche Lorraine: very yummy, very enjoyable. Also liked the potatoes on the side. - s'mores tart: pretty to look at. I'm a big s'mores fan but this tart was a bit too sweet for me. A unique concept for sure but the crust was a bit thick and i wasn't liking the chocolate layer as much. - Cheesecake: had this recommended to me and overall it was solid. I liked the fruit on top, but have had better. Overall a cute restaurant/bakery to stop at when you're escaping the heat! read more

The shop is well kept, clean, and very nice. People constantly walking in and out but could still be a great place to read, study, or work. Lots of people here for coffee or lunch meetings. I ordered a Cuban sandwich that was really good. You can taste the melted butter in the bread and whatever spread they used inside the sandwich was GREAT. the bread was warm and toasted. You could tell that my sandwich had just been made and wasn't sitting for long before it was brought to me. My wife order a small little cheese cake that was pretty good. It wasn't as fluffy as I was hoping but still pretty good. I probably would pass on it next time and get something else though. We also ordered an almond croissant that was incredible! Probably one of the best I ever had. It was crispy on the outside and the filling/paste on the inside wasn't overpowering. I'd definitely get that again. The coke i ordered came in a glass bottle, which I just a plus A cool place to visit every now and then and definitely bring family/friends from out of town! read more

Popped in for a few baked goods, we got the pain au chocolat and strawberry pop tart. Both were a hit! Cute ambiance and quick service.

Wow this place was such a nice surprise in the middle of the Pearl District of San Antonio. All the pastries looked Devine in the case! And the ones we tried were all amazing. Coffee-- I had a cappucino- was on-point. Order at the counter, and they bring it to you. Everything we tried was delicious- we had a lemon-filled croissant type thing that I am still dreaming about. My only (very minor) complaint would be our pan au chocolat and almond croissant was not warmed, that would have been nice. So take note, I am sure you can request that. Perfect place to sit (outside or in- it is very roomy) and people watch while you sip your cafe. We did not try their savory offerings, so I can not speak to that. Next time I am in town, I will definitely swing on by! read more

After over a year of wanting to try the food here, I finally got the chance to do so by having Friday lunch at Bakery Lorraine. The aesthetics of the shop definitely match the lively mood of a typical bakery/cafe. I imagine that the dining area can get a bit congested during peak dining hours and especially on the weekends. They definitely maximize the space inside to accommodate as many diners as possible. I got the Quiche Lorraine Lunch, which includes a side salad (instead of potatoes that are served with breakfast). It took about 20 minutes for the food to come out. For $11, the price is fair considering portion size, quality of the food, and restaurant location. The quiche itself was so delicious--delicate, eggy, cheesy, with lots of caramelized onions and bacon. The crust was flaky on the edges, but a bit soggy on the bottom. The side salad, which was just a variety of greens, was very fresh. The dish as a whole is a 5 out of 5 stars! For having "Bakery" in its name, I was quite disappointed by the Croissant ($4). It wasn't just okay, IT WAS SO BAD! For $4, I expected a fluffy, freshly baked croissant with a pillowy, buttery, layers. Instead, it was dried out, hard, and tasted like a piece of stale bread. DO NOT GET THE CROISSANT! Negative 1 million stars out of 5! I would probably not come out of my way to eat here, but would be tempted by the Quiche Lorraine if I was in the area. The food and drinks are a bit pricey, and not worth the long wait in line during busier hours. read more

May i suggest you separate your line into make to orders and grab go food? The inefficiency is hard to watch.
