    Brie and fig preserve omelette
    Audrey H.

    The service here is always impeccable. All the servers are genuinely engaged with the customers while having fun when doing their job. Get the blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes, they are so good. Love the Brie and fig preserve omelette and we're always blown over by their corn beef hash made with real corned beef. Great music, eclectic atmosphere this place is worth seeking out.

    This brunch spot had been on my list forever and we finally made it in after a morning hike at OP Schnabel Park. Be forewarned, this place gets quite busy....actually very busy, so depending on the time of arrival, expect a long wait. I think we waited up to an hour. When we were finally seated, our server introduced himself and gave us a little story on the background of Comfort Cafe. Know that this is a cash only donation based restaurant- all proceeds go directly to their rehabilitation programs. Account for $15-$20 per person. Their menu was extensive- breakfast/brunch and lunch menus. I opted for the corned beef hash- nice poached egg atop corned beef potato hash, seasoned nicely and not overly salty. Maybe could have used a side toast and jelly. Hubby ordered the chicken and waffles with a side of eggs and bacon- delicious! Not one crumb left behind lol The restaurant was open, warm, and friendly. Everyone, including the servers seemed so happy to work there. Lots of Birthday celebrations were happening, many songs to be sung and candles to be blown out : )

    I've been to Comfort Café several times now, and it's consistently a great experience. The food is always delicious, fresh, and well prepared, and the service has always been friendly and attentive. I really appreciate finding a place that stays consistent every time I visit. Definitely one of those spots I'm always happy to come back to!

    I absolutely love comfort cafe! This was my 5th time coming to enjoy the delicious food and drinks. Usually i'm in a sweet mood, but today I was craving something savory and saucy. The alfredo with all the veggies satisfied just that. My friend got the huevos ranchero and absolutely loved the unique flavors and tastes. The chicken in my pasta was incredibly juicy and flavorful and honestly think it's the best pasta i've had in town. The staff is always so incredibly sweet and helpful. I love the pay what you can concept as it creates a welcoming and loving environment and supports those who may not be able to afford expensive meals. Can't recommend this place enough!!

    It had been a while since I had been to this restaurant and I had forgotten how good it is. They have amazing food and it is a unique setup with a good cause. Give it a shot and you won't regret it!

    What a great mission/purpose

    Came here on 12.14.25 with my two girls. It was SO WORTH the wait! Between the food and the mission, everything was amazing! Friendly tip, join the Yelp Waitlist in advance so that you get seated quicker! They take cash only and are a "pay what you feel" place. $15 is suggested per dish but not required. My eldest got the jalapeño popper omelette, which comes with choice of potatoes. She selected the cheesy casserole style potatoes. She said everything tasted so good - as evidenced by her empty plate lol. I got the breakfast special, which comes with 2 eggs (over easy), choice of potatoes (homestyle with peppers and onions), choice of meat (sausage) and toast. My eggs were cooked perfectly and the sausage was juicy and delectable! My youngest got the Just for Kids, which comes with 1 egg, 1 chocolate chip pancake, and 1 meat. I asked if they could do a substitution of sorts cuz she doesn't like eggs. They let her have more bacon! We got the pancake flight so we could sample more. Everything was so yum! Eldest loved the lemon ricotta blueberry. The brown sugar was my personal fav and the youngest loved the chocolate chip.

    Good food, good service, and great ambiance for an amazing purpose! First time at Comfort Cafe, you're welcomed into the establishment with a smile and it feels like you're going into a family-owned restaurant. Everyone at Comfort is super sweet, and my husband and I were blessed to be served by Johnston, one of the sweetest humans you'll ever meet. He has the most warming smiling! He answered all our questions and took his time to let us decide on the right dish. There's a huge selection to choose from, we were craving breakfast items and went with the chilaquiles (special of the day) and Crabby Bennys. The chilaquiles were okay, the green and red salsa were not spicy at all and needed more salt. The crabby bennys, were also okay. The coffee was okay, and you get constant refills. Now the churro French toast was an absolute delight!! So so good!!! Comfort is a place where people have turned their lives around for the better, a great charitable organization to support. We will definitely come back to try other items. The staff is absolutely superb!

    My daughters and I went here for breakfast and I can't say enough how great the experience was. The atmosphere was so positive and welcoming. The food was so delicious! Our server was awesome, he was such a cool dude & had great vibes. The payment experience is unique, it's cash only but you leave there with a sense of pride & community spirit. We will definitely come back again and I absolutely recommend this place!

    This place is awesome!! All proceeds go to SerenityStar recovery!! Food is great staff is so friendly and polite

    Absolutely one of the best breakfasts I've had in a while! The story of this place is great! Had breakfast here this morning I had smoked salmon scrambled eggs with dill hollandaise sauce. My wife had lemon blueberry crepes. My grandson had churro crepes! The decor is great and the service was good! Only accepts cash. And it is a donation based payment. Recommend highly!

    Their mission statement included in the menu.

    From the warm greeting at the door by the lovely hostess to my sweet waiter Brian, everything was amazing. The music was exquisite, the food was sooo comforting and delish. I also loved knowing comfort cafe is a non profit organization helping those in need. I'm so grateful to have been able to support such a beautiful mission. My family definitely enjoyed comfort cafe. *cash only. If you did not bring cash like us... Don't sweat it, they have an atm in the back by restrooms. Their menus have no pricing so it's purely donation.

    My dear AXO sister, Sallie, and sister in Christ and I celebrate each other's birthdays. Grateful for her. We had brunch @comfortcafesatx today. Such great food and even better cause. Sallie had the Lone Star, which was 3 scrambled eggs, bacon, hash brown casserole, and swapped the pancake for raspberry crepe. I had the Blueberry Crepe (came with 2 in an order) and a side of crispy bacon. Maya was a great server. Everything was fabulous! We also stopped by @sweetserenitycoffeehouse to check out the new bakery. Very nicely decorated and welcoming. i bought Lemon Blueberry Scones for tomorrow's breakfast.

    Ask the Community - Comfort Cafe

    Is a cash only business?

    Yes, cash only. They do have an ATM in the restaurant.

    Wait time to eat?

    30min if they are busy, and they are almost always busy. Such a good cause I don't mind the inconvenience. You can sit in your car cause they will text you.

    How u check in or place a reservation?

    Reservations are for 8 or more everyone else can walk in - the wait is not what it used to be at Los patios

    How can I make a reservation for Thanksgiving?

    You can get on los patios waitlist or if your a party of 8 or more you can make a reservation at either location on FB messenger or call

    Do you take reservations?

    For parties of 8 or more yes

    How can I get on the waitlist for Mothers Day at the Loop 410 location?

    You will probably have to wait until Mother's Day. I don't see where there is a " Call ahead". Another option is call the cafe itself and ask.

    Are there better times on weekends where the wait isn't that long?

    Usually within the first hour of opening, you can get in fairly quick. After that, go through Yelp and join the waitlist ahead of time so when you get there, you only have a few minutes to wait after checking in. The location on Bandera seems to do… 

    How do I get on the waitlist?

    There is one for los patios location sign on through yelp - there isn’t one for Bandera just walk in

    Do they do takeout?

    Yes but need to come in and order

    How do I reserve a table? How much time in advance is needed for a reservation?

    You don't reserve a table. I would either go first thing in the morning, get in line online, or just be prepared to wait because it gets packed quick.

    Is there a coffee bar at the Bandera location?

    We have Vietnamese and cold brew but not full bar

    Hello! What forms of payments are accepted?

    Check or cash - we do have ATM on site

    What's my place in line?

    Los patios yelp should tell you

Thankfully the hosts found me and my party a table. Our server was bright, communicative, and genuinely attentive. The grits blew my mind with it's rich butter and creamy texture while still have the grain texture. The fried tomatoes were met with a cornmeal fried crispy crunch and a juicy almost like it was marinated in lemon juice for a bit. The bacon was pretty good like a thick chunky sweet bacon strip. I personally like it a bit thinner and more crispy. I like that they offer orange juice and mango juice. My 2nd visit I knew better to get a reservation but it was completely booked when I looked to make a reservation the morning of. It was a Saturday morning. I walked in hoping anyways at 11am. They surprisingly had seats available outside this Texas summer lol. The meat pies were okay a little too greasy. I may be biased on Irish pub style meat pies. The nachos with boudin sauce and a lemon sour cream was out of this world with flavor. It what bean dip wishes it could be. I was so full I couldn't finish it, but I went for that dip. Our server cést comme ci comme ca this time. It like she was just there to get through the day that barely started. I was served a dirty water glass with a lipstick stain on it. My server rarely came by and I had to ask another server to help. Honestly I only tipped the girl server out of manners. I would not accept her as my server ever again.

    I've been to NOLA, the city, during the Madri Gras season, so I was looking forward to trying NOLA,…read morethe restaurant. I had my family join me for brunch, and unfortunately, it left us with questions. The biggest question was, "Where was the favor?" I knew I wouldn't like the chicory coffee, yet there was another option available that I enjoyed more that was a decaf. The child's plate was one of the worst kid's meal values I've seen in a while. It was $10 for one tender and a beignet. The tender was small and left my child wanting more, so I paid $7 for an extra tender. Please consider a plate that has two tenders and fruit or potatoes for older kids since this was sized for a toddler. The $10 Doggy Meal looked like it could have provided that option since it came with grilled chicken, sweet potato, and steamed rice. The adult plates had enough food for an actual meal, so we shared our plates with my child who only wanted more chicken and potatoes at that point. The Bayou BLT was okay, yet nothing to rave about. My husband wasn't impressed with the Blue Crab Omelette, and my aunt said her Catfish St. Charles was very bland. We all had an order of beignets that were tough and chewy. My husband and I have had freshly baked and powdered beignets at Cafe Du Moude, so these tiny versions were a tough sell. What did have flavor? The Bananas Foster pancakes, which was the better dessert option. While the restaurant itself was cute, expect table service to be long. We constantly waited for waitstaff to return to refill coffee, bring napkins, or furnish a needed utensil. Also, the parking will be tight. We were lucky to get spots adjacent to the restaurant rather than offsite, yet you will be watched like a hawk when you attempt to leave. People want those spots. If you want the feel of brunch with okay-ish food at expensive prices, come to NOLA the restaurant. If you're expecting to relive the actual taste of NOLA the city, start booking your next getaway for the real deal.

    A Perfect Return to Where Our Forever Began My husband and I…read moregot married at Hotel Valencia one year ago, so getting to return this weekend to celebrate our first wedding anniversary was incredibly special. As part of our wedding package, they were incredibly generous and included two complimentary nights at the hotel and dinner at Dorrego's for us to celebrate. They are truly the absolute best at what they do and really know how to celebrate their guests! Returning to the very place where we said "I do" was already emotional enough, but Hotel Valencia somehow made the experience even more memorable than our first stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff was exactly as we remembered them: kind, attentive, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. Our room was absolutely gorgeous, and when we walked in on our first day, we found the sweetest surprise waiting for us: a bottle of champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a congratulations message written in chocolate on the plate. I actually teared up a little! It was such a thoughtful and adorable gesture that truly made us feel seen, celebrated, and cared for. There is something so special about Hotel Valencia. The environment is exceptional, the service is always outstanding, and even their gorgeous signature scent instantly brings us back to memories of love, celebration, and adventure. Every little detail feels intentional and memorable. I am so incredibly thankful that we chose Hotel Valencia as the place to celebrate both our wedding and our first anniversary. It will forever hold such a special place in our hearts, and we cannot wait to return again and make even more memories there. Thank you, Hotel Valencia, for helping make two of the most meaningful celebrations of our lives absolutely unforgettable!

    A Wonderful Stay at Hotel Valencia!…read more We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Valencia on the San Antonio River Walk! The location is perfect step out the front door and you're right in downtown San Antonio. From the hotel restaurant, you can take the stairs or elevator directly down to the River Walk, which makes getting around so easy and convenient. What we especially loved is that this hotel has so much character and charm. It doesn't feel like one of those cookie-cutter chain hotels. We had a balcony, although it was simply too hot during our visit to sit outside and enjoy it. I'm sure it would be wonderful on a cooler evening! The bar and restaurant were both excellent, and the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. A special shout-out to the valet guys they provided wonderful service and were always so helpful. Great location, beautiful atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, and exceptional service. We would definitely stay here again when we're back in San Antonio!
