    Came in for the second time to dine in (first time was when I was looking for a job when I first moved here lol). Decided to try their latte and got caramel flavor and their egg salad protein salad. It was actually both good and I enjoyed it. The service was good as well and there were a good amount of people dining there. Cute place to eat and hang out.

    Quick stop at Bird Bakery, a staple in San Antonio, TX. We purchased banana bread, lemon cake and cafe au lait. We ate out goodies and were off to other San Antonio adventures. The cashier was super fast and personable. We noticed Halloween themed treats and a uniquely prepared cake. There were few customers in the bakery, so a super chill vibe. I addition, we noticed today Bird Bakery is selling baby and children's wear.

    This is a cool place in historic Alamo Heights. I have been in here once before and have had a wonderful sandwich with homemade bread that was to die for. So I was actually kind of dreading coming here because I am eating keto right now and not eating bread. I was already getting kind of disappointed about just having to buy a tub of egg salad or chicken salad. And then... "Protein Style"! They serve their sandwiches in a protein style, which is on a bit of greens with a fantastic salad dressing, avocados, and tomato! Wow! My plate was as beautiful as it was deliscous! I will be back!!

    How have I not reviewed Bird Bakery yet!?! We attended a wedding in 2016 and the wedding cake was a carrot cake from Bird Bakery. It was the best cake I've ever eaten. Now every time I am in San Antonio I have to stop by to get carrot cake cupcakes and some other treats!

    Came here around 2 PM thinking I get a chicken salad sandwich as I remember those being very delicious. I decided to try a breakfast sandwich since that was still an option. It had sausage and egg made to order tomato and avocado. It was absolutely delicious. Everything here is really good. I also had a hibiscus with lemonade tea and that was good as well. The staff here is friendly and knowledgeable and the food came out promptly. There was plenty of seating so we found a nice spot and are enjoying our meal. They're seating available outdoors as well however being that it's still hot out reach out to stay inside and that was nice.

    I've always loved this place. Only place in San Antonio. I can seem to find their grandmother's cookies. Vanilla with almond is my favorite. The prices are higher than I think they should be, but the business is located in Alamo Heights. I've been many times and will continue to return.

    AMAZING BAKERY. The cupcakes here are phenomenal. They have many fun flavors like Elvis and Chocolate covered strawberry, and the minis are a great way to try more. The breakfast sandwiches are a bit on the smaller side but really good. The coffee was good and free refills on the house. They are so smiley and happy here which can be rare so we really enjoyed our morning here.

    A cute calm shop that delivers superb home sandwiches! Two faves are the chicken salad or grilled cheese with a side of tomato basil

    Super cute place! The cupcakes looked amazing, but just a tip: if you come during lunch, it's best to order ahead. I stopped in thinking I could grab a quick soup between appointments, but it took 40 minutes to come out. I usually love that the food is served fresh and hot, but since I was short on time, I had to take it to-go. Sadly, I left hungry with a full cup of soup in my hand instead of in my belly.

    Everything on the menu is absolutely delectable! Rich, sweet, savory, light... whatever you want, they have something on the menu! Clean and cute but gets VERY busy! For how busy they are, wait times for food aren't bad!

    Bird Bakery is a nice place with a cute vibe, matching the rest of the neiborhood, the coffee is good and the best part was the cupcakes. The service is very kind and fast. Whatever you pick will be a good selection.

    Sea Salt Peanut Butter Bar
    Emily B.

    Great sandwiches and pastries. The sea salt peanut butter bar was amazing. The crust on the bottom was great, not soggy like some bottom crusts. The servers are always very sweet and every time I have been they've been well staffed. The ordering line moves quick and they're keeping tables clean. The interior is super cute, very picture worthy all over. Perfect spot for a girls lunch or sweet treat stop.

    Overall: Such a fun spot for cheesecake! Definitely worth checking out if you're a cheesecake fan…read more Parking: There's a small parking lot right by the shop, but it can fill up pretty quickly. We were able to park, but I could see it being an issue during busy times. Seating/Ambiance: The indoor area is pretty small, with just a few tables. They also have some tables outside along the side, which is nice when the weather is good. It's more of a quick dessert stop than somewhere I'd plan to hang out for a long time. Cheesecake: You can get cheesecake by the slice or in individual jars, which I thought was a cute option. They have a good variety of flavors. We tried the Turtle cheesecake and it was delicious! Rich, creamy, and definitely hit the spot. Bonus: They have a loyalty/reward where after 10 jars, you get a free jar, which is a nice incentive if you live nearby or become a regular. One suggestion: My only complaint is that I wish they had a description of what's inside each cheesecake flavor. You have to ask about the ingredients/fillings for each one, which makes it a little harder to decide when there are so many options. Everyone's very nice. You select your cheesecake & then go to the end of the counter to pay. Overall: Cute little cheesecake shop with lots of fun flavors and the option to get individual jars. Parking and seating are limited, but the cheesecake is definitely worth a visit. Would come back to try more flavors!

I tried the limited edition raspberry black sesame (6$), cookies and cream (6$) and the space in picnic? (9$, the lemon meringue, blueberry one) My favorite was the lemon meringue (9/10), then raspberry black sesame (8.7/10), then cookies and cream (6/10). The meringue was such a nice texture and the berry brightness and lemon was wonderful. The raspberry was perfectly tart in contrast with the nuttiness of the black sesame. The cookies and cream were just average to me, nothing special. Service was decent and you get to keep the jars. They have one dollar off frappes M-Thrs happy hour (3-5 i think?) I would come back to try other flavors! Makes a great gift.

We waited by the Pullman Market porch area for our tasting and they came out with mini frozen hibiscus drinks. I expected sweet, but only had tart flavors that stimulated my palette. Finally, me and my friends were taken in to a private dark room with the seats surrounding the kitchen where the magic was about to happen. The 8 course comes with 4 different flavor profiles and 1 alcoholic drink per flavor type. The most memorable profile was umami with the jerk chicken and bitter with the banana and chocolate. These two topped off as my favorites. The chocolate with my banana was the best I had ever yet. The bowl had to be picked clean. The chefs walked us through each of the dishes and explaining the story behind as well as any questions we had. We all had a blast with the tasting and would come back again.

They have a storyline to create a plot for the "dessert" creations. The pastry chefs interweave sweet, salty, sour, spicy, and umami throughout the evening AND is also paired with a drink per dish. They tell you how to eat the dish for maximum enjoyment of the desired taste experience. They do an excellent job of creativity, presentation, and combination of flavors. Such an intimate setting. After it's all done, they do part you with a BIG fortune cookie with a handwritten fortune! This is the time where you are allowed to pull your phones out. And you can also step in the kitchen area and take pics. Menu does change. I'd definitely go again!
