    French toast clasico
    Heather G.

    Quick walk from the hotel to this cute little cafe. They have a ton of pastry selections that looked amazing, however I did not try them. I ordered the French toast clasico with scrambled eggs. The French toast was unique as it had raisins - I loved it! Had a crispy outside and melt in your mouth inside. This is a must if you are in downtown San Antonio!

    We came here after lunch for matcha and dessert! It was packed, very busy, and the staff did a great job of moving the line along. The iced matcha was so good - I love that I could get it totally unsweet. I also got the Opera Cake, as it's the safest thing for gluten free people according to the girl behind the counter. Good drinks, great vibes. I recommend it.

    Jalapeño ham + cheese croissant, velvet concha, El Favorito (Sunny Side Up), Churro Cold Foam Latte, Cold Brew
    Samantha M.

    First time trying out this place and wow it was amazing!! I definitely recommend getting the sunny side up, velvet concha and jalapeño ham & cheese croissant! I recommend going early because the lines do get long! I say get there closer to when they open! We got there early and enjoyed a stroll on the river walk right after! Also I loved the summer latte they had, the cold foam churro latte was sooo yummy! Definitely will need to come back when I visit!

    Steak and eggs, comes with butter with some heat, toasts, and fresh pico de gallo. Very affordable price for large/ high quality food.

    I was worried it will be a long wait, but we got in right away for Saturday brunch. Inside has large sitting areas,clean, and open. You order first and get your table, so you don't have to worry finding the table to eat your dish! Excellent menu, one of the best coffee I ever had, and friendly staff. Five starts, you won't regret visiting the place in San Antonio! We took Uber to go to the restaurant but we took the river walk to go back to the hotel. It was very pleasant and short walk!!

    I'm obsessed!! This is my first time having a lobster roll on a croissant, and my first time having a concha. Sooooo good!! This is a wonderful place to enjoy a delicious bite to eat. My only complaint.... there's isn't a location close to my home! Excellent, food, service, and atmosphere!

    Pastries, were fresh, and the displays were gorgeous. I opted to get a vanilla latte the morning I swung by. The inside inside of the restaurant was maintain nicely considering they had so many pastries displayed you do not have to worry about the presence of flies landing on the items. Service was quick and I may try to come back at some point to grab a more hearty meal for brunch but just wanted to have a quick grab and go.

    Avocado Salad Bowl with country bread

    Fast and friendly service. Food is very good at a reasonable price. Got the avocado salad bowl with sparkling water. Casual diner atmosphere.

    I heard the line on memorial day ran 50 deep, outside the door, wrapped around the front of the building, and the best thing one could do was to have patience. Luckily for me, I went the day after memorial day so the lines weren't that bad and the red carpet laid out in front of the restaurant was all clear. I grabbed a menu before it was my turn to order. It's a lot to choose from and without pictures it's difficult to tell what most of the items are. Especially for a first timer. So, I ordered what the gentleman in front of me had which was a plain croissant with butter. It looked better than it tasted. I chose not to use the butter because the croissant was cold so butter wouldn't take to it well. I also ordered a side of scrambled eggs with cheese and avocado. The eggs were delicious, cooked well and flavored nicely. But my avocados were oxidizing so the presentation wasn't appealing. My husband's breakfast scramble was filled with eggs. cheese, and turkey, but wasn't filled with flavor of any kind. It's a lively atmosphere. Great for large groups. There's seating outside so if you're feeling like sitting amongst pedestrians walking by, it's perfect. The service was slow. Really slow. I overheard they were backed up so by the time my macchiato was delivered I was almost done eating.

    I make a point to visit La Panadería Bakery Cafe whenever I visit San Antonio! It's great for brunch, a sweet treat, and great specialty coffee drink, or all of the above! The food is Latina American flavors with European twist (they import butter from Europe!). Service is friendly, and all of the employees are hustlin' to do an efficient but quality job. No matter what you try, you can't go wrong! I tried the iced churro latte (if you have a sweet tooth, this is for you.) The tres leches croissant is light, fluffy fry, buttery, and perfectly balanced with a creamy filling with sliced strawberries. The interior is warm, bright, and welcoming. PERFECT for breakfast or brunch with friends.

    This place lives up to the hype. Sooooooo delicious. The croissant that put them on the map (order it) and the avocado toast- that bread from a non bread person. The Americano was delish too! Beautiful seating area - great spots for working. There was a line but it went fast and they were killing it on the line.

    I visited La Panadería downtown while handling a large group order for a film crew, and I have mixed feelings because the food itself was genuinely very good, but the pace of service seemed to impact some important details for us. We placed an order for around 15 people with separate sandwiches, soups, sides, drinks, and pastries. It was clearly a busy time, and the team seemed focused on moving quickly and keeping orders flowing, which I understand. However, none of the food was labeled, and with a large order that made my task much more difficult than it needed to be. They offer several soups that looked nearly identical, so we were opening containers, checking the website, and comparing photos to figure out which was which. I also had to open sandwiches and inspect ingredients to determine whose order belonged to who. It felt less like disorganization and more like labeling probably was not prioritized in the rush, but for a large order, it would have made a huge difference. We tipped generously on top of a $300+ order, so I do think labeling individual items for a group order would have been a thoughtful touch. Now for the positives: the food was delicious. The crew loved it. I had the steak sandwich and would get it again but with more sauce. The coffees were standout items, especially the seasonal latte (pictured on the drink menu) and the strawberry horchata matcha. We also loved the chocolate croissant, and the rainbow pastry was sweet, fun, and worth trying. Would I return? Yes, absolutely for personal dining or a smaller order. For larger pickups, I would recommend splitting the order into smaller batches or allowing extra time to sort through everything. Great food and great energy, just a few details that could make group orders much smoother.

    If you could eat without consequence, this is the place I'd go. Holy flaky buttery sugar bomb! We yummed our way through the Dubai concha, smores cookie, tequila croissants, cookie croissants, peinata and baby cheesecakes. We almost got the lime cake but I asked about how it was colored and skipped it. Yes, I know the conchas are dyed as well but the pastel Dubai concha was less dubious looking. The concha had a nice crispy outer and surprisingly soft interior, with multiple fillings in the Dubai one, each bite enough to satiate while leaving you wanting to return for just one more bite. The tequila croissant was what I imagined the gods would eat alongside their ambrosia and nectar. So flaky and fluffy. The sweetness in all the pastries we tried was balanced and so full of umami. And everything size XL. The tres leche matcha with tres leches cold foam and fresh strawberries was delightfully refreshing and priced fairly. Service was with a smile. Everyone was cranking out the orders and keeping that line moving. Respect to the to-go packers for individually hand twisting pastries in a plastic square wrap, not just using a wax paper to pick and pack in a box. Pro tip: if you are ordering to go there is a separate take out line that takes you to a self order kiosk. There is staff in the area and a separate smaller screen so you may also be order from a human. Everyone was at the kiosk when I was there. Entrance is around the corner from the line. There was also a satellite station set up on the corner Sunday morning, where she had Dubai conchas after the store had run out. Interior is simple tables with some soft seating inside. The menu also offers savory sandwiches and salads. On pastries and tres leche matcha alone, this is a must visit in San Antonio.

    Dessert menu

    Wait Time There was a line, just like everyone says, but it moved pretty quickly, so no complaints. Ordering + Seating You order at the register, which is my pet peeve because I'm an indecisive girly, then take a number and find a seat wherever you can. There are high tops, regular tables, and couches, and they bring your food once they find your number. A little different, but it works. Food When I looked at the menu, everything looked GOOD. The Nutella croffin, the French toast... I was overwhelmed in the best way. I went with the tequila-infused almond croissant (I love an almond croissant) and a chai latte, and I'm obsessed. The croissant was flaky, buttery, and the almond flavor had just the right amount of sweetness. The chai was great too. I don't even usually like anything alcohol-infused, but it absolutely delivered. Overall So happy this place is not near my house because I would never meet any of my fitness goals. Loved it so much, I brought my best friend back the next day. Six stars based on pastry quality. I can overlook everything else. Love it, love it, love it.

I placed an order and walked to the coffee shop, only to be informed that they were bought out and didn't even have my order or the right ingredients to make it. Instead of a refund, they offered to make me a regular coffee which I declined. I took a long walk just to go there to pay $12 for coffee that didn't exist and a coffee shop that doesn't exist as of 2 weeks ago! They need to take their ordering down and website if they won't fulfill your order. It's absolutely stealing my money!!!!! I tried emailing, calling and asking for a refund in person and I was denied. What a great way to treat someone visiting here!

    This is a small little coffee shop located inside the Riverwalk Plaza Hotel. My friend stopped in…read morehere for an ice americano SF vanilla coffee & she said it was really good. I didn't end up getting anything as I found their coffee cup sizes to be small & I wanted something a little bit bigger. They didn't have many items for sale. Like 2 danishes on display, limited drinks in their cooler & the menu is small. If you're not a picky coffee drinker & aren't looking for a big food menu then this is your place! It wasn't very busy while my friend & I sat outside of the shop. There are seating areas in the coffee shop to hang out at.
