Best coffee I've had in quite a long time. Ordered a cappuccino with oat milk, with vanilla and honey making for a brilliant taste of s'mores hidden within the coffee. Wonderful inside sitting area with plenty of room and not too loud of music. Located right next to the Pearl Food Hall, easily accessible. 5/5 will return again read more

One of my favorite places to WFH. Service is fast, and coffee is good. Seating is a bit tricky when foot traffic is high, like any other coffee shop. They have a small window for pastry orders - sometimes it's open. read more

Picked up some coffee from here before a walk along the river with our puppy! It was suuuuper busy, but the line went relatively fast.. took maybe 15 minutes. I don't really have any complaints about the drip coffee.. and the macaroons were spot on. Not their fault necessarily but it's just so busy that it's a bit hard to enjoy as a place to chill with some coffee, maybe I'll have to return on a less crowded evening, if those exist. read more

Bakery Lorraine - Eggnog and pistachio! If I remember correctly.. - Bakeries Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Boring, undercooked, and inconsistent. Bakery Lorraine continues to disappoint, not because they aren't capable of producing great food but because they can't get reliable quality at their Pearl location. Please refer to the picture attached, the potatoes are lifeless, underseasoned, and undercooked, this is fairly obvious based on the picture. The quiche, their namesake Quiche Lorraine is runny and undercooked. It's been consistently disappointing over the last year, I've had all of these items and they CAN be delicious. Also, about the croissants, sometimes they're amazing (flaky, pulls apart, layered) but most times they (have internal bubbles, are overcooked/bready, or with internal bubbles). Chef, please re-evaluate the quality control at your Pearl location. read more

I went to the bakery to meet up with one of our Yelp managers to pick up SAMA tickets. But, I knew I'd be getting goodies. I grabbed 3 of the THRIVE Pride cookie sets, & two macaroons. See, the Yelp manager is expecting. Her due time is right around the time I had my own daughter (decades ago). So, I wanted to get her a blue macaroon & of course the rainbow cookies while she had to wait on the others to arrive & pick up their tickets. Fernanda is such a sweet lady. She's always going above & beyond for us. So, I just wanted to show her some gratitude. I know this bakery is good. So, I wasn't too surprised when I tasted those delicious rainbow cookies. They are battery, crisp, but not crumbly. I put these right against my great grandmother's icebox cookies. These were that good! The macaroons were almost as good as those from Laduree. The cookie was perfect. Excellent crunch into a mouthful of delicious cream. Not to sweet. I will definitely get them again. Excellent job! read more

Okay so, I had been wanting to go too the pearl for some breakfast. Food: Croque Madam; flavor is awesome i would have given 5 stars but my madame sandwich was not hot. But the flavor was awesome. Breakfast plate: is wonderful they have home-made sausage and it's sooooo good. The toast is a super thick piece of bread and they have homemade jam! The pastry's are always always a hit ! Anything in that pasty case you're going too enjoy. Location: the Pearl is an awesome day too spend any after noon or night. Plenty of shops and restaurants too check out. read more

2023 is gonna be amazing because our first meal of the year at Bakery Lorraine was awesome! The line was long but worth the wait. French toast was soft and fluffy, crispy on some edges, love it! The Cobb salad bowl was HUGE. Matcha latte was strong (which is good) but overly sweet. The macarons were alright; I sure have had better macarons somewhere else. Strawberry macarons would be my favorite here. The rum cake was man-o-man amazing! It's so rum!! Highly recommend the rum cakes. HAPPY 2023! read more

Right smack in the middle of the Pearl District, you'll find the largest croissants ever known to man. Sure, that may be true-it also might not be. But they sure were the biggest croissants that I've ever seen. This is a mix between coffee shop and bakery. There's a bit of a line to order your food, then they give you a table number and bring your order to you when it's ready. During the time I was in line, I watched several delicious looking treats go by, only encouraging me to order more. Service is friendly and welcoming and the place is buzzing with energy. We were able to find a table outside and enjoyed our coffee and treats with a cool breeze and chirping birds. If I lived nearby, I could see this being a regular hangout. read more

Good coffee and a great Chocolate Tart. It's in the Pearl complex so it's great for people watching and just hanging on the patio. I took the tart home with me and froze it for later consumption and even frozen and thawed it was delicious, the crust flaky and flavorful-the chocolate rich and sumptuous. Unfortunately for my waistline-I will be back! read more

This place was awesome!! Super cute spot at the pearl with delicious food! It's always packed so my wife and I decided to finally check it out one sunday. We got there around noon right when they stopped serving breakfast which was kind of unfortunate but it was probably for the best because their lunch is amazing! We got two sandwiches one was the Turkey pesto and the other was the BL BLT and both were terrific. I think we slightly favored the Turkey pesto. We also ordered a chocolate croissant and a piece of cheesecake. The cheesecake was great but the croissant was a little dry and not very fresh. But nonetheless the overall experience was awesome! Not the best prices but not bad either especially for the desserts and treats and such! Come check it out!! Overall: 4.6 stars read more

I ordered the lemon cake on whim. The ladies there mentioned that it has a light refreshing flavor, which is true. I was not a personal fan of it due to the texture and soft lemon flavor, but I could see others liking it. It was good and the staff was welcoming. So I will be back, but next time I will order something else. read more

While lounging in our Airbnb enjoying a crisp, cool morning in San Antonio, my wife and I jumped on Yelp in search of a place to eat breakfast. Bakery Lorraine had great reviews and was a short walk away, so off we went. We were greeted by nearly all the staff soon after walking in and were given recommendations on what to try by who I assume was the Manager. He highly recommended the, "Croque Madame", and while it usually isn't something I would order, I decided to give it a go. Let's just say, I'm glad I did. It was amazing. If you don't know what a Croque Madame is, it's toasted ham & cheese with a poached egg and covered in a sauce called, "mornay". The flavor is hard for me to describe but everything combined made for a delicious experience. I would, without hesitation, return here again just for that. The coffee is great too, by the way. read more

I went to get two boxes of macaroons that were a request from a friend. The staff was very friendly.

I will return or send others read more

I love Bakery Lorraine. Every time I am in SATX, I make sure to hit up this bakery for breakfast. The seasonal fruit taste is perfectly sweet with a vanilla custard. I also recommend the Quiche Lorraine if you are a fan of caramelized onions. You can get a side salad or potatoes, I went for the salad which was fresh and lightly dressed. I've never had anything disappoint me from here read more

Met up with a friend and her baby on a dreary, overcast day. The sun came out after about 2 hours but with the wind, it was still a bit cool. I couldn't decide what to eat so we just got Matcha Lattes while we settled down and chatted a bit. Our Matcha Lattes were a bit too sweet. I had mine with Almond Milk and hers had regular milk but she requested vanilla syrup. I don't know if the Matchas are already sweetened like they are at Starbucks but these were too sweet. I ended up using hot water to dilute mine. After perusing the menu, I ordered a Morning Bun to go and French Fries w/the garlic aioli to eat at the restaurant. I was a little disappointed at the fries as they were limp and lukewarm. The aioli was tasty, though. Service was inconsistent as servers would serve us but not remove our order numbers that were on the table? We weren't asked if we needed our plates/cups removed so I bussed it myself and brought it up to the counter to ask where I could put them? A server took them from me when I asked her where to put them? The pastries, Macarons & cakes looked delicious as usual so I think I'll stick to just the core items since I know they're tasty. read more

Visiting the Pearl Historical District and decided to get dessert at Lorraine as a recommendation from the Lyft driver here. I ordered the Pistachio and Earl Grey macarons and my friend got the Chocolate Almond Croissant. The Earl Grey macaron was my favorite, it wasn't too sweet which is always a plus for me, and the tea flavor was really pronounced. Sometimes when I order Earl Grey flavored desserts the tea flavor comes out burnt, but that was not the case here. The Pistachio Macaron ended up being too sweet for my liking. The Chocolate Almond Croissant was filled with chocolate and some type of almond paste, it was definitely denser than expected so it was a little heavy for dessert. It would have been better paired with a coffee for breakfast on the go. read more

Stopped by after seeing Bakery Lorraine featured on a Visit San Antonio Instagram page. A farmer's market appeared to be going on when I arrived on a Sunday morning, so there was nowhere nearby to park. I got dropped off a took a stroll down to see all the stalls, seemed like a good variety of local artisans. Bakery Lorraine has an ordering window that I found facing the farmer's market, but later I realized there is also the option to go inside and view the full display case of all the items that they have in stock for the day. Croissant sandwich with roasted potatoes: I chose turkey for the meat. The potatoes were very oily but seasoned well, some of the bigger pieces were not quite cooked thoroughly. The egg within the sandwich was like a buttery, light omelette with a good bite. The croissant was nicely buttered. I'm not usually a fan of croissant sandwiches because the texture of the croissant can be offputting to me, but this is one croissant sandwich that has my approval. Giant chocolate chip cookie: Semi sweet chocolate chips with a buttery taste and a rough texture. I didn't think it was particularly big, but it definitely is a crunchy cookie. Definitely not a chewy cookie, not my recommendation if you're more of the chewy cakey cookie type. Earl grey macaron: Macarons are sold individually, there's no discount if you order in a box. This macaron had a good lip and the filling was buttercream and had good tea flavor. I've found it difficult to find places with this flavor of macaron, so I'd recommend giving it a try. Strawberry rose macaron: Also had a good lip. There is rose jam in the middle surrounded by strawberry buttercream. Canele: I was super excited when I saw that caneles were available here. Having gone through years of studying French, it's the first or second time that I've seen them available at any French bakery. I expected it to be bigger, but it was about the same size as the macarons. I can't say that I have a baseline to compare this to, but it was spongey throughout the middle and crispy on the outside with a bit of a burnt flavor. The texture is comparable to mochi cake. read more

My favorite go to for brunch when we're in the are. My kids love the macarons from here and I love the selection of sweets. My favorite has got to be the gingerbread cake. The cake and frosting are not too sweet. Visually, I was a little skeptical of the avocado toast but it was delicious. There's indoor and outdoor seating. It is a little hard to find indoor seating on a Saturday morning as the area gets pretty busy, especially if the weather is not conducive for outdoor seating. read more

Bakery Lorraine is an amazing patisserie shop and was absolutely fantastic. We stopped in for a quick bite and got a fruit tart and three macarons. The macarons were really tasty: Almond joy, grapefruit, and pistachio. The almond joy had that almond and chocolate flavor you know and love. The grapefruit was an essence of grapefruit which was good cause it can be a really overpowering flavor. The pistachio flavor is mostly in the creamy center but when it hits... it's so tasty. The tart was light and delicious and had a beautiful presentation of fruit and the crème flavor wasn't overly sweet. We loved the atmosphere and the overall styling of the bakery. It's real cute. read more

The food presentation was really eye-catching. I just returned from Paris but missed trying the almond croissant. So, I came to Bakery Lorraine for a French almond croissant. However, having just tried superb French croissants at boulangeries in Paris, the one I tried here didn't quite impress me. It wasn't crunchy on the outside and extra soft on the inside. Thinking of having it reheated since I ordered this at 3 PM, heating it up might improve the quality of their croissant. However, they said that didn't happen because the food had been in the common area already. Heating it up wasn't offered for our food before they handed them to us. I commend Starbucks because they do a better job of heating up sandwiches before they are handed to the customer. This almond croissant is disappointing. The service was good, quite attentive and helpful. Customer service receives a positive feedback. Today's ambiance is better than previous visits. read more

Parking is easy but expensive.. came on a wknd- free for first 30 min then flat rate of $10- we only spent like an hour there.. so seem steep I got the avocado toast and my friend got croque madem. Not bad but again a little pricey. Only got one drink- macha latte w the two entree- ended up paying $45 It is pretty poplar tho. Long line Ambiance is great. We sat outside and people watched! Might come back again but would definitely try other places first read more

Came here on Father's Day to grab something to eat for brunch, and I must say I was not disappointed! Despite it being so busy for Father's Day, we were able to find seating almost immediately upon arrival. The line to order was very fast. The cashier let us know we would have to wait 35 mins for our food, which was nice to be let known upfront. I got the Salmon on Everything Croissant with some orange juice. Everything was pretty good, I will deduct a star because the spread on my croissant was a little too bitter for my taste, but other than that everything was great! read more

I keep trying it in the hopes of liking it and i guess its just not for me. Granted i only try the pastries and coffee. The coffee is ok but the pastries are just not what id like from a place with Bakery in its name. Staff are always friendly and plenty of room to sit. Must say that their pastries are generally sold out so i know that sooooome love it. But if you want, for example, French tasting pastries, this place isnt it. American style pastry? Yes! read more

Incredible. The gold standard for bakeries in all of the US in my opinion. Great coffee, great pastries, great breakfast and lunch entrees.

I'm so impressed with how their bake goods are so fresh and sweet on the eyes. And to be open mid day? Checking all the boxes. Customer service is so gracious. It's a bit pricy for some baked goods but well worth the experience. read more

They pissed me off today!! I've been in there many times, ordered salads and sandwiches. They tried to screw me before on my salad and tell me their blue cheese is their white cheese. Lied! I've had their blue cheese before, and it was blue cheese they gave me crumbled cream cheese. She came back with a small bowl of blue cheese and said sorry after I showed her my pic of my salad, the say before. This time, I ordered grilled cheese sandwiche with bacon and asked for fries in substitution of the chips. They wanted to charge me $24.00. They've never charged me $24.00 for that order. She told me it's $5.00 for fries. I asked how much the fries were separately, and she said $5.00. That's not a substitution that's an additional charge. I told her I should then be getting fries and chips then. Her reply I'm just doing what I'm told to do. Wth! Then I waited 45 mins for my order, and I got the worst grilled cheese sandwich served crumbled cheese and 1 slice of bacon, it didn't even hold the bread together. Wasted my time 45 mins, and they didn't even say sorry and offer to remake it. They just refunded my order and stayed silent. Additionally, The Cellars need to find someone else to garnish their complimentary breakfast this place isn't worth funding! I walked myself to the Boiler House after this screw up. They've always served me right! I wish I had taken pics of the sandwich, but I was so pissed off that my time was wasted. All I wanted to do was get out of there and get good service and food somewhere else. People make sure you ask questions and pay attention to the prices. Desperation shouldn't turn into scamming people behind the counter. You insult me, and you'll get a review accordingly! read more

I love going to this place at The Pearl. It's usually busy at this location on the weekends and it's a bit of a 15 minute wait in line to order but you know what? It's worth it. The first time I came her I ordered the tomato toast with fried egg and it is delicious and rich with tomato flavor. Not soggy at all and had a nice crisp with every bite. The second time I visited, I ordered the Turkey pesto sandwich and it is one of my favorite go to orders. Also if you have a sweet teeth, you've come to the right place. They have all kinds of sweets from cookies, tarts, cheesecake, muffins galore. If you want to enjoy the weekend with some friends and family with delicious but light food, this is the place. read more

Located in the heart of the Pearl. A little bit of a coffee row as there are multiple coffee places all in row. This one stands out for it's coffee and it's food. Quite possibly the best cup of plain coffee I have had in at least 10 years. There used to be a great company in Portland that imported their coffee from Italy and it was not burnt and bitter as most coffee places are now and then try to cover up their fla BB or with sugar. I digress. This coffee is wonderful as coffee was meant to be. Even from the carafe for your second cup it's the same. Here comes a service bonus. Taking a number and then going up to get my food has always been a pet peeve of mine. Here the waiters walk around bussing and cleaning the place. Looking at your number and then claiming your number. Soon your food comes out as they are keeping an eye out for your food. For me it's the way it should be. Great food with healthy inspired ingredients and simple but elegant presentation. This was the best Avacado toast I have ever had. The egg is usually missing or an extra add on that most restaurants mess up by putting it on the side. This presentation with the lentil will be what all future Avacado Toast will be judged by. The French toast with the custard yeah that was an 11 also. No stevia available for coffee Room temperature water in a giant serving container that was is difficult to turn on/off. I know that sounds pick but that's the difference between a four and a five. You get at least cold water and sweetener that won't kill you. Still definitely a stop to be made. read more

Snagged a table before the weekend crowd sprang into action. My sandwich was massive and wasn't exactly prepared for that. Wasn't sure too much about the set up but had to grab water and napkins on my own. Wasn't a huge fan of the hazelnut tart and the macarons were ok. I enjoyed people watching and sitting in the sun while brunching. read more
