    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.

    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!

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The best concha ever! We stopped here to pick up some treats in the morning after staying downtown and loved everything! There was a long line outside, but I went right up to the outdoor stand to order some pastries. I got 1 vanilla concha (even the small is huge), 1 tequila almond croissant (recommended by the worker), and 1 guava cheese kougn amann. I asked if I could order a latte with her or if she only had drip coffee, and she told me to go in the back door and order right on the screen. Our lattes were ready within minutes. Easy in and out, and the coffees and pastries were delicious. Everything stayed soft and was so fresh. I would like to go back for breakfast next time!

    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.

    One of those times where I wish Yelp had the option to rate in categories.... I would say overall La Panaderia Bakey Cafe gets a solid 3.7 stars from me. Production, atmosphere, and service: 5 stars!!! Upon arrival there was a very long line but to our surprise it went by very fast. How this place works is you get in line, order your food once you make it in, decide if you're going to dine in or take your items to go. They have loads and load of baked goods and set menu. Food: 3 stars We order the croffle and egg/ bacon croissant. Both were just okay! Came out pretty fast for how packed they were but overall the food was meh. The croffle was dry and lacked a wow factor. The croissant sandwich was big enough to share but was just ok. Matcha: 3 stars I've had worse and I've had better. Was drawn into the tres leches matcha but was expecting more flavor! Baked goods: 5 stars!!! Sooo yummy. Ordered ours from the little stand in the front. Very convenient and super yum. Panaderia mascot: 5 stars. No notes.

    This place lives up to the hype. The line was out the door but the staff moved quickly and efficiently. There is plenty of seating and a comfortable vibe to sit and chat with your party. The coffee and pastries were delicious with plenty of yummy options.

    The pastries are great. A good place to stop for a cup of coffee and a baked good. Not impressed with the food at all.

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!

When you walk in you have the option to do a to go order on the kiosk or stand in line to order in/to go. While in line you are in line where they hold their bakery items, smart business move as it definitely enticed me to order some baked goods! We got 2 kouign amann, one cheesecake and one strawberry. Both were so good and not overly sweet. I'll definitely get it again and try other options they have. The food is really good and tasty!

I don't think it's the staff's fault, more a shortcoming of the kitchen setup, but it still caused a pretty significant wait. We tried to go on a Saturday morning, not realizing how popular it was, and it was a total no-go. So we ordered ahead for Sunday morning, planning to just pick up and bring food back to the house. The food was ready when we arrived, but the coffee wasn't (I don't think they have a fridge or warmer to keep drinks at the right temperature, so they don't make them until you come in to pick up.) We had to remind them that we'd ordered drinks and we ended up waiting another 20-30 minutes, our food in hand, while we waited on 3 iced coffee orders. I think the issue was a mix of crowds and kitchen layout. They were very clearly trying to make sure that the people who were seated in the restaurant were being served as well, but all of the drink orders were going through this one, tiny coffee station that frankly couldn't keep up. And I think our drink orders were basically added at the end of the drink queue when we arrived to pick up our order. We didn't get any sort of priority because we'd technically ordered ahead. We essentially skipped the line, but not the queue on drinks. All in all, I'd definitely want to visit again. The food and drinks WERE really great. I had the avocado toast with chicken and for a seemingly simple dish it was absolutely phenomenal. The abuelita's was the best of the 3 iced coffee offerings we tried, and I would definitely order again. But we'll definitely have to plan/strategize around crowds and be prepared for a long wait even if we order ahead.
