    Tomato soup with grilled cheese
    Vianca F.

    Commonwealth is just such a beautiful vibe, their food is really delicious and very home tasting. This location has a front and back patio with a chicken coop. The only small downfall is that they sit next to a car wash and you can smell some of the chemicals and car exhaust from the shop. But overall this is our spot for delicious brunch!

    Everything about this place is top-notch! The location is beautiful and charming, the service is wonderful, and the food was absolutely delicious. The Croque Madame was cooked to perfection and full of flavor, and the side salad was fresh and vibrant. You can really tell they care about quality in every detail. It gave me that special, perfectly satisfying feeling you only get at a high-end café. It has definitely become one of my favorite spots. I had a fantastic brunch experience and can't wait to come back!

    Great place to go for a good brunch! Left no crumbs on my plates and enjoyed a nice warm drink and pastry! The staff were sweet and attentive. The ambiance is lovely and definitely an aesthetic environment!

    Great breakfast tacos, and great coffee, they have a nice patio, the service is very friendly and patient when you are trying to decide what you want. This is a nice place where you can have a cute coffee date. Just keep in mind that the place can get busy and finding parking can be hard.

    It's always fun to try a new coffee spot I haven't been to yet, and I had the pleasure to celebrate my birthday here with my friends! Cute house with lots of outdoor front and back seating, but unfortunately since it was freezing cold, we had to sit inside. Seating was a little limited at that time, but we managed to find a large table for all of us! Super friendly service at the counter. And there was an array of yummy freshly made in house pastries behind the glass counter. I ordered a decaf latte with coconut milk & pump of hazelnut and an almond croissant. The coffee was STRONG, I had to ask for 4 more pumps of hazelnut lol I really enjoyed the toasted almond croissant- I'm a huge lover of almond paste. The rest of my friends ordered some breakfast croissants and they looked super deelish. The brunch menu offered on the weekends looked fabulous too. Afterwards we wandered outside, and in the back they have a chicken pen with the most beautiful rooster and hens. Met an employee who takes care of them and you can tell he enjoys his job and was happy to be there. : )

    I was excited to try this place out. When you arrive the restaurant itself looks quaint. You have to park in the back. We looked around for any indoor seating but there was none. There is limited space indoors. It was drizzling but the outdoor umbrellas kept us dry. There is a chicken coup outside and we hung out with a local kitty. I ordered a pastry, the veggie taco, and a cappuccino (this girl can eat). My friend ordered a vanilla mocha latte, three cinnamon mini things, and the veggie taco. I enjoyed my pastry and coffee. My friend enjoyed his pastry and coffee as well. He really wanted a caramel latte but they were out of caramel. The taco itself was a little bland and runny. It was nothing to get excited about. My friend didn't eat his since he didn't know it had egg. We were both expecting just vegetables. The place itself is nice. Nice seating outdoors. The decor is also nice. The person at the register has a nice attitude about her. There was another server who I felt came off as rude and she didn't want to be there. Either way it was a place I would come to for coffee and pastries, maybe. Would suggest to try it for yourself. The reviews seem very misleading since I didn't think this place was above average.

    French omelette with spinach and tomato
    Karina E.

    Such a cute place! Gave us autumnal vibes even though it was so hot outside. I would love to study here early in the morning though it did start getting pretty busy around 9:30 AM, you can tell it is a well loved place! The pastry we had was pretty good! A crossaint like thing with cream and fruit on top. The omelette was great and so was the breakfast crossaint plate. Great amount of food for the price! However, French press price is steep for what I know is not expensive. It was $8 for the French press, if it wasn't for the steep prices for just coffee I'd give it a 5 star!

    This is such a cute little place and I'm glad I took my out of town guests here. It's a house with not a large sign out front so you could drive past it like I did, but it's ok found my way around back where there is plenty of parking. There is space for everyone here. The house has plenty of seating. There is cute outdoor front porch seating, you may even get a visit from the coffeehouse cat if you sit here. Plenty of indoor relaxed seating in a low noise work area and back yard seating. The back yard is little bit louder as there is a carwash next door beeping all the time, some chickens and roosters. This outdoor area is fun and family friendly, total nice back yard vibe. My party had several differenet items and they were all delicious and everyone finished every last bite of everything; avacado toast, grilled cheese and tomatoe soup, chorizo crepe, tomatoe mozarella sandwich. But what really hit the spot and was a winner was the Campfire Cappucchino toasted hazelnut, butter pecan, with a dash of sea salt, so yummy! I really felt like I was drinking a smore at a campfire! All the flavors mixed together so well, lightly not over bearing but just enought to taste them all. It is seasonal so get there and try it now! 2 people in the party ordered and 1 other that didn't order went ahead and ordered it for their second drink. Try this place you will not be disspaointed. They have so many diff fun drink options and one where they add a totally cute little Texas truffle.

    This was probably my favorite stop in San Antonio over the summer. French bakery meets craft espresso meets backyard chicken coop-to-table? Unreal. I don't know how they manage that blend so well, but it was fantastic. The space was so refreshing and inviting and the items we tried lived up to our expectation. Would happily return.

    enjoyed the strawberry  banana  Nutella crepe with matcha latte!

    After Botanical Garden date, we ended up at this adorable coffeehouse! Great service & selection of coffee

    Avocado toast
    Fernanda F.

    It's been a minute since I visited Commonwealth Coffeehouse and I was pleasantly surprised by their new look! If you haven't been to this location in a few yours (like myself) you will be surprised by their amazing patio and renovated indoor. The new look is definitely more inviting and I really appreciate the new check-in area they created. The flow of the space is so much better and it looks similar to their Hemisfair location. But enough about the place, let's talk food! For my first time in some years I decided to go with their avocado toast, and wow! The food was prepared super quickly and the egg was cooked to perfection. It was filling but not overwhelming. I truly enjoyed every bite of it and can't wait to come back for another one! Also, if you are a coffee drinker I would highly recommend their cappuccinos. They are made just right and taste amazing! My only note for the team is to please include a changing table for babies in their bathroom. Their hemisfair location has one, and I just wish they also had it here. I came with a friend and her newborn, and she had to go to the car to change her baby which is obviously not ideal.

    First visit was a walk in on Sunday and it was packed. I welcomed to sit at the bar but later a…read moregirl came up and found didn't have my ID even though I wasn't drinking. 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.

    The happy hour is nice. Lots of easy fried options to try different things…read more I got a lot of them - the crab purse, the meat pie, the boudin ball, the gator egg, and etouffee. All of them were okay or better. The meat pie and crab were the best. If I came back I'd try the red beans and rice and skip the egg. The only thing holding me back from loving this place were the beignets. I've been to NOLA twice in my life (but once was this July 4th). So I don't think I'm a snob about them but these were terrible. They aren't crispy or salty...they are sort of stale and tasteless (but you do taste the powder sugar). I'm surprised by how bad they were versus the other food when it's a Nola breakfast place. My son got a pancake and it was way better than the beignet. Not sure if I would come back, but if I did it would be for a happy hour again (but I'd skip the beignets). Our server was wonderful. Nice and attentive.

    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!

    Another great meal! Our server Brahim provided the perfect service: attentive, thoughtful, kind…read more Really enhanced our meal. For a starter we shared the cornbread with another couple and it was plenty for 4 people. If you are from out of town and looking for some Texas-shaped vittles or just want something substantial to stretch your meal I recommend it! Very tasty and filling. For my main I had the scallops with creamed corn risotto. It was a dainty portion but the flavors were nice. My husband had the short rib tagliatelle which he loved. It was very rich and filling. We had the buttermilk pie again for dessert and this time it tasted sweeter than I remembered. It was good but we couldn't finish it. Idk if it was my tastebuds or if it was different. Anyways still a great meal overall and we will be back!

    Great atmosphere, Great service. The price versus quality doesn't meet! My date had the lamb chops…read more The lamb chops were full of fat and untrimmed, this fat didn't add any flavor. They were cooked medium rare. I don't recommend the lamb. I had the red snapper filet. I was basically. The best thing about the entire meal was dessert! We shared a large slice of butter pie and ice cream. Other than that, the food was average to, not good I made the mistake of going to this tourist spot, inside of the la mansion hotel, $168 later, I can truly say that I would never recommend this restaurant!
