    Their hot coffee is so good!! It's drip coffee and serve yourself so you can choose from their Mexican/Colombian blend or hazelnut and both are great. Their menu has a nice variety of sandwiches and breakfast/lunch plates as well as a number of bakery items depending on the day. I notice the earlier you go, and during the week, the better odds of having more variety. They have a huge patio and the staff will still come outside to check on you and clean tables.

    Pancakes with bacon

    Pancakes- I really love their pancakes. The texture, the chew- just delicious! Everything has shrunk in size; you still get 4, but I remember them being more plate sized. Good part I guess is that I was able to finish them with the bacon. My husband got the Anaheim scrambler and his portion was small as well. Good but small. I guess we all need to eat a little less! My only complaint about Corner Bakeries is that their self serve coffee is always either out or just lukewarm. Order at the counter and they will deliver to your table so it's quick and easy. Pro tip- it's always freezing in there so bring a sweater. Outdoor seating is also available if you have Fido with you.

    One day, I ate a late breakfast from Corner Bakery Cafe in San Antonio, TX. That same evening, I ate a late dinner from Corner Bakery Cafe in San Antonio, TX. I had breakfast and dinner from the same Corner Bakery Cafe in San Antonio, TX on the same day. True or false? So just from the problem statement, you can't really tell for sure because there are actually two Corner Bakery Cafes in the Alamo City: One off the 1604 loop just west of the 281, and this one at Alamo Quarry Market just east of the 281. I was planning a short little getaway just outside San Antonio, and I decided to eat breakfast at the Stone Oak Corner Bakery Cafe. Fast forward to ~7 PM, and I decided to eat dinner, but at the Alamo Quarry Market location instead. So in case you haven't noticed, the answer to the T/F question above is FALSE. I had lost track of time, and by the time I realized it was 7 PM, I realized that Corner Bakery Cafe was going to close soon! But what time does it close? 7:30 PM? 8 PM? I saw 7:30 PM somewhere, but somewhere else, I saw 8 PM. In situations like this, I have to assume the earlier time, so I acted as if the cafe would close at 7:30 PM. I frantically had to get ready to head over to Alamo Quarry Market, and as luck would have it, I arrived at the front door at 7:29 PM. Luckily, the front door was unlocked, but I was legitimately expecting an employee to say, "Sorry, we just closed!" However, the first employee I saw greeted me while cleaning the floors. I was still trying to decipher if I was late or not, and then hesitated while trying to discern the interior layout of the cafe. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by a wall, and you have to turn left towards the order counter. I had a 99 cent beverage reward on my account, and I wanted to redeem it, but also get a Choose Two, where you can get smaller-sized entrees for the price of one. At my local cafe in California, the price of a Choose Two is $11.99, but here in San Antonio, it's only $10.99. On top of the two from the Choose Two, you also get to pick a side. When you order two pasta dishes, you get the most bang for your buck that way because one smaller-sized pasta would be almost $10, so if you order your entire Choose Two a la carte, you would probably be looking at ~$25. Thanks to the Choose Two, and lower taxes in the state that is spelled the same way, but with the vowels switched, you would only spend about half that. For the 99 cent beverage, I chose the Large Cranberry Spice Arnold Palmer. For the Choose Two, I went with the Chicken Rosa Pasta, Shrimp Scampi Linguine, and the Mixed Greens Salad. However, the cashier had some issues trying to ring up my order that she had to call a couple of co-workers to figure out what needed to be done. It took a while, but she was able to make it work for me. During that ordeal, she asked if I wanted for here or to go. I was initially planning on ordering to go because I thought the cafe was going to close real soon. However, when she confirmed to me that the cafe would close at 8 PM, I decided to dine in as long as it wouldn't take 20 minutes to prepare my order, and I wouldn't be kicked out right at 8 PM sharp. The cashier handed me a numbered flag, which I then took to a booth seat on the opposite side of the cafe. It took just over 5 minutes before the cashier handed me my order. Could have been closer to 5, but I noticed her conversing with a co-worker with my order in her hands. Why not just drop off my order first before chit-chatting with the others? Anyways, that was really the only blemish I witnessed out of her service that evening. The Mixed Greens Salad tasted pretty much the same as at my usual location in SoCal, but I did notice the dressing cup was angled askew, almost as if it was starting to spill out. Presentation could have been better there. However, the pastas were pretty good! Chicken Rosa Pasta is my favorite pasta at Corner Bakery because of how bold the taste is, and this was no exception here in the Alamo City. Not only that, but the Shrimp Scampi Linguine, a luckluster pasta back home in SoCal, was certainly not as lackluster at this location! While the pasta was a little clumpy, they did add a lemon wedge for me to add additional flavor to the pasta dish. I also enhanced the taste profile with a little salt & pepper. Both of the pastas were served in bowls while the salad was on a rectangular plate. One of the bowls was served on the plate next to the salad. Overall, it was a good solid dinner, and I'm glad I got to spend it here. Though I also gave 4 stars to the Stone Oak Corner Bakery, I enjoyed my experience at this location more, but not that much more to earn the fifth star.

    The service was incredible, the food was amazing and we will definitely be coming back soon!

    Love eating breakfast here! They have a lot of options and a bunch on yummy pastries to choose from. Coffee is great as well. It's always really clean every time we visit. The staff is helpful when it comes to answering questions about the menu.

    Mac N Cheese
    Aida P.

    The name and location was enough to spark my curiosity. The Corner Bakery Café is literally at the corner. We are still new to the area and still on the hunt for the perfect mac n cheese for my girls. One of the challenging parts is asking what it is in the mac n cheese. My girls have Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and let's just say they need lots of information. At home the cook mac n cheese from scratch; yes they even make their own roux. The employees were so nice and understanding about the questions and even brought out the ingredients book for one of them to read. The customer service and understanding was a gem! Now, back to the Mac N Cheese, they said it was better than the other place, which is a win in my book! This is definitely a place we will come back to in the near future. To the staff from the cashier, to the supervisor, to the waitresses; thank you for your patience and understanding.

    A BBLT that it seems they barely got a whole piece of B and forgot the other B. $11-12 bread sandwich
    Muriel S.

    A BBLT that it seems they barely got a whole piece of B and forgot the other B. $11-12 dollars for a tomato, bread and bacon crumbs is unacceptable. This place is usually a favorite off and on so it has to be the personnel, training. Don't hate on the food, if you have an issue work it out and take pride in the things you do. WoW so sad....

    Update to first review below, rating updated from a 3 to a 5 star (drinks & bartender would get 10+…read morestars if we could rate that high): Saturday night: Went back for after dinner drinks at the Downstairs (a "speakeasy" throwback, look up the history of the place to see why). Drinks were AMAZING! Bartender Rob made the best Negroni I've ever had. I asked him to use whatever gin he thought best--result was an artistic smooooooth full-bodied drink. Told him when I was done I'd lick the glass if it wasn't considered so uncouth for a 'mature' lady like myself to do so Hubby's Buffalo Trace bourbon old fashioned was also outstanding. Rob was the bartender last night who did such a great job, and his work was even better tonight. We highly recommend The EsquireTavern for excellent cocktails. We love the long wood bar and high copper ceiling upstairs, but love the intimate speakeasy atmosphere downstairs even more. We'll definitely be back every time we're in San Antonio! First review, Friday night: Drinks were great (Manhattan and Bourbon Old Fashioned). REAL drinks, no complaints at all about those. And the bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Those aspects of the Esquire get 5+ stars from us. But the appetizers were not good, close to inedible. It was about 8:30pm or so, so maybe they were getting ready to close out the kitchen but the chalupitas with chicken tasted like rubber, and no flavor at all. The seafood platter had something in it that was breading with shell inside, but no meat of any kind. We couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be. The shrimp was good and the fish was good but those other things... We'll always love the drinks, the long wooden bar, and the ambiance at the Esquire Tavern, but we'll eat somewhere else and come here for before or after dinner drinks. (See update above to this review for when we returned the next night for after dinner drinks.)

The food feels like the chefs were given good quality materials, but had no idea what to do with them. We ordered a funghi pizza to share then a cinghiale, a costine (short ribs), and a dentice (bass). Funghi pizza was the only dish that made coming worth it at all. It had a nice flavor, but if you're expecting the notes of an earthy mushroom flavor, don't. It's just a nicer version of a standard cheese pizza topped with some onions and mushroom. The cinghiale was just stunningly mediocre. The meat was flavorful, but the pasta itself was shockingly bland. It was just so... ok. The dentice was the best of the 3 individual dishes, but it is just what you would expect some average short ribs with random sauce to taste. The costine was just terrible. Salty on the outside, yet flavorless on the inside. Avoid at all costs. The service was passable, but they clearly overwork their servers as one server just handles an entire section and is too overwhelmed to be timely. I came to cheer myself up, but honestly it only made dinner comically worse. I seriously can't imagine what would cause someone to rate this as 5 stars. Maybe if they thought Olive Garden was 4.5, then I guess this would barely be a 5 in comparison? Either way, if you're looking for good food for your dinner, keep looking. You won't find it here.
