Great way to start the day! Our coffee came out pretty quickly-- tasted like your standard caramel latte, nothing crazy. The food, however, I would definitely come back for! My husband inhaled his spiral croissant sandwich with scrambled egg, ham, and cheese. My ranchero eggs Benedict with grilled chicken was very tasty. The salsa chipotle hollandaise was really the glue that held everything together; lots of flavor, added moisture to the chicken and bread. Service was friendly and you can tell the employees knew the menu and pastry line up very well. You wait in line to order, they give you a number and then you take a seat. Although it seemed busy, we were able to find a table right away. Staff members did a great job clearing out tables all while sending out orders. It was very clean and bright inside. Overall, we were more than satisfied! We'll be back! read more

La Panadería is one of my go-to spots in San Antonio, and it never disappoints. This visit, I ordered the Ferrero Rocher Concha with a Mexican hot chocolate, and it was the perfect combination. The concha is hands down the softest I've had in San Antonio. The Ferrero Rocher-inspired filling is rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious without being overly sweet. Paired with their dirty hot chocolate, it made for an incredible breakfast treat. read more

La Panadería Bakery Café - Conchas and dirty hot chocolate - Bakeries Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

La Panadería is finally open and near our home in north San Antonio. The new location is massive and well staffed. It's not like the one in downtown San Antonio or the one near the San Antonio airport. This location feels better suited for the neighborhood. Unlike the other two, this one has ample parking and interior and exterior seating. The food quality is the constant. The new space is the game changer! Their tortas, pan dulce, pastries and coffee continue to deliver great tasting Mexican food staples in an elevated fashion and vibe! read more

Excellent Panaderia! I will come back again when we visit San Antonio. Ordering: there is a line you enter that takes you through all the pastries. You order those with a person, then that person takes you to a register. At the register, you can order any of the plated food. They give you a number and the. You go to a table. The servers are very friendly, and the food came out promptly. I love that there are a lot of round tables instead of just square ones, but the chairs do have arms, so they hugged my hips. Parking: They have a parking lot. We were with my hubby, dad, and stepmom, and they had never been to a Mexican bakery, so I had to do a lot of explaining. We got three items from the bakery: a bread one with cream and blueberries, a flaky cup-shaped one with cream, and a triangle flaky one with guava. They were phenomenal! Our fam got one of the flaky cup-cshaoed ones and another cupcake-shaped one that was bread. They loved them both and said they would be back later for more, or tomorrow morning. For our meal, we shared the chicken ranchero Benedict, and it was so tasty on delicious sourdough bread! We used the bread to soak up all the runny yoke and sauce from the meal. There was not a trace of anything left on the plate. Our fam got scrambled eggs and bacon and said it was yummy. They all drank water, but I enjoyed a hot tea latte. It was a little sweeter than I prefer, but it was good. read more

Incredible vibe at this café with a ton of people already here as early as it opens. I ordered a pick up order, but when I arrived, I told them that I was here and they immediately started making it. My order was ready in about five minutes, which was also astonishing. The staff is incredible and their communication is quite beautiful as it is super in-sync. The mere amount of pastries is impressive. This place may look like a tourist trap, but it operates as a local café with incredible vibes. It errs on the expensive side, but to be fair I think everything is worth it. El buenos dias was very good, and the bread was perfectly toasted. I did not like the beans but that was not the focus. There was so much avocado and a perfect amount of tomatoes. The egg whites were cooked perfectly and they were super fluffy. The bacon and the turkey were outstanding in quality and taste. The pan dulce was to live for. Try the Dubai chocolate and mini chocolate ones. It's worth the hype. Just go ahead and check it out. read more

First timers! Order at the counter in a line, so unless you know the menu, there isn't much time for a decision. LOL Also, so much to choose from including ALL kinds of fresh pastries, breakfast & lunch items etc. Hard to pick! Can dine in or carry out. If you choose to stay; you'll be provided a number, find a table & when your orders ready they'll bring it out to you. Their selection of pastries and breads is excellent. The bright colored Concha is a stand out not only for its beautiful colors but for its popularity! We ordered the Chocolate Croissant & Cinnamon Roll Churro "to go". For in-house we tried their Tres Leches Croissant filled with fresh cream & strawberries, then topped with powdered sugar. It was ok. The cream could have been somewhat sweeter. The "Banderilla" was the best thing we had. It's a long croissant-style pastry filled with slightly spicy sausage and melted cheese, topped with jalapeños. It brought back memories of a unique one, we use to get years ago in Colorado called a little devil, but this was better! Bummed to not have tried their Tequila Almond Croissant which was featured by Guy Fieri on Food Network- Next time! Additionally, we got their turkey sandwich (torta), to split-which comes with soup or salad as a side option. The salad & Chipotle dressing was decent. Dressing made it. Dissatisfied with the sandwich, it was dry and flavorless. My husband had their French Vanilla Latte and seemed to enjoy it. Lovely presentation. Excellent service, very efficient and friendly staff. Locally owned (two brothers) , there are about 6 locations throughout SA and a great place to experience. On our drive later we had the other two pasties and they were good. Note-They also make many delicious assortments of coffees, latte and cold brew with cold foam. read more

I really really love this bakery. They have very good unique pastries, solid food and decent coffee. My only complaint is about the service. The first time I came, we were so overwhelmed but knew we wanted to get a good batch to try. The lady took two of our orders and then started taking other people's orders so it felt like we were being pushed forward without fully ordering. It's weird because it's set up like chipotle but if the employee didn't follow you to end section and stopped at the meats. A little awkward but oh well we saved money I guess. The next time we went, we told them everything we wanted up front, however they "wrap" the pastries in a square plastic that is just twisted in the corners. Not secure at all and a pastry FELL on the floor which was so tragic. The conchas are phenomenal. They have such a unique texture that is so addicting. All the flavors taste pretty similar to me. The chocolate croissant is solid and the jalapeño sausage is very very good. The vanilla latte was impressed and well balanced but we got a speciality that was similar to the finals latte with the extra foam was wayy too sweet. The torta was well balanced and the sauce was a good touch. This place does get very busy but the line moves fast, good wifi if you wanted to study or do work but during prime time it might not be ideal. read more

My one piece of advice, go early! Even though we got here at 9 the line went all the way to the door. So many pastries to choose from all look fresh and delicious! I finally settled on the Banderilla (cuz I've never had one before and it looked amazing) I got a matcha latte to go with it and it paired beautifully. The hubs got Chorizo and egg torta with a telera bread with an Americano. My daughter got the French toast classic with cinnamon bread. It comes with fresh berries atop and whipped cream. All in all everything was so delicious it made me sad to leave San Antonio knowing it will be a while before we return. We already agreed the next time we are in town, we are bee lining it here read more

My husband and I have wanted to try La Panaderia Bakery for quite some time. We've heard everything is delicious and calorically dangerous. We finally came after banking some calories with a long run. OMG, everything looked so yummy. We wanted to order one of everything but we didn't run enough miles for that. LOL Even though we go there after 2 pm, the number of customers speak for itself. It is a beloved bakery. We decided on breakfast first. My husband ordered the Sunny Side Up and I ordered the French Toast with the addition of scrambled eggs and bacon. Then, we ordered a couple of berry croissants and butter cookies to go. Breakfast was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be coming back but our metabolism aren't what it use to be. Since the hips don't lie, we may have to wait until after the New Year to return. read more

A must stop when in San Antonio. The staff is friendly, personable and accommodating. We needed a big table and they made it happen. Special shout out to Arnold, Monica and Merlys, great customer service. The food is tasty from the pastries, tortas and everything else. Definitely get the conchas, I don't go back home without getting some. Can't wait to visit again. read more

La Panaderia Bakery Cafe is one of my favorite dining locations in San Antonio, TX. We ordered a Build Your own Torta (sandwich). I split the sandwich with a colleague, which came with a side. We chose the turkey torta with cilantro mayo, chipotle mustard, turkey, smoked gouda and tomatoes along with lentil soup. The sandwich was huge so I ate only one half. The bread was Kumut, an ancient grain and quite filling. While this is primarily a bakery, we opted out of sweets today. Ok...ok...yes I had that lemon blueberry muffin this morning. Even more reason not to have another sweet injection. It is important to note that prices at La Panaderia have been increasing each year as are other restaurants in the San Antonio area. If you share the sandwich with another person, it is more economical. Service was fast and friendly as always. The restaurant was about have full with customers who seemed to be engrossed in their own conversations. Overall, a relaxed environment.... read more

Back in town, but just had time for a pickup. these flavors are amazing! The freshness of all of the baked goods is remarkable and truly separates La Panaderia from other bakeries. It does get crowded especially on the weekends, but the wait is worth it. read more

Food and pastries are good. I had the campechano soup this time and it was bit watery and lacking flavor, so I would recommend the lentil soup instead. We also had mimosas and the service here was fantastic. They gave us glasses with blueberries and cut up strawberries to drink the mimosas. read more

This is THE go-to for breakfast bites & bakery delights! This place never fails to satisfy my sweet tooth; my regular for bakery treats is the Nutella Cruffin. A soft flaky croissant breading, baked in the form of a muffin, filled with rich Nutella, topped with a (not-too-sweet) chocolate mousse & 2 semi-sweet chocolate sticks. Their breakfast is always so delish and fills you up in a way that will keep you coming back. I'm a sweets-for-breakfast person, so I lean towards their French toast. It's warm, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweet. Getting it topped with fresh fruit is, hands down, always a win in my book. Tell a friend, tell a neighbor, shoot--tell your pappy & your grand-pappy! This place will always stay a hot spot. For good reason too. Don't forget to tip your waiters & bakers! They put love into the food/desserts they're serving & you can tell. Their service is beyond appreciated here! read more

Loved the Chorizo and Egg Torta, the Black Bean Soup and coffee with honey. Nice ambiance, gives cozy and elegant vibes. The Conchas were fresh and delicious! Can't wait to go back! read more

In a word: divine. La Panadería Bakery Café quickly became one of our favorite dining experiences anywhere, ever. As we entered, we were a bit overwhelmed. We'd just hopped off an early morning flight from Milwaukee. We were completely un-caffeinated and hangry. A quick search on Yelp showed this place was relatively close to the airport. We arrived. The parking lot was full and the line serpentined all the way to the door. My first thought: This place must be amazing. Followed quickly by: What is happening? Do we order everything in this line or just pastries? Where is the menu? Again--what's happening?! I blame our bleary eyed post flight hangry un-caffeinated state. There was a basket of menus--we grabbed two. I asked the gentleman in front of us if he'd been there before. "Yes! It's excellent," came his reply. I then inquired as to the flow of things. He explained that once we get to the pastry case, we can order any breads we'd like and then once we got to the cash register, we could order coffee and anything off the menu and they'd bring those items out to us (the pastry items you get straight away). So, that's what we did. For our pastries we got a nutella cruffin and a peineta. Both were excellent. The nutella cruffin was completely out of this world. For my coffee, I got the cafe bombon, which was solid. And, for my main, I got the vegetariano with scrambled eggs added. It comes on an incredibly large laminated pastry (croissant? Just super big and round?) and was the perfect blend of flavors. Initially, I noticed pickles on it and thought--oh--I don't like pickles on my breakfast sandwich. Or mustard. But, you know what? It all worked together in a perfect symphony of flavors. I wouldn't change a thing. What a way to start our first trip to San Antonio (and Texas!). Did we fly to heaven taste buds first? I think maybe we did. Get to it! read more

Food was good. Matcha latte was definitely not as good. I did the build your own Torta with a Caesar salad and was satisfied with the portion size. La Panaderia is a SA icon so I think it is worth trying at least once but I wouldn't say I'm itching to go back. read more

Yes, yes yes! This place is amazing. There is lots of parking but it does get busy so it might be hard on the busy peak hours, but they do have their own private parking which is awesome. It's a fairly large building. It has a seating area and if you're ever in the California it kind of gives Porto vibes . They have delicious pastries like pan dulce. But I did get the concha and the pan de Muerto and I had the steak and eggs. The steak and eggs were perfectly done perfectly cooked. They came with a side of a soup, and I got the mixture one that had Sopa de Fideo and black beans. I am normally not a fan of black beans, but the mixture of the soup was delicious. The meat was cooked perfectly like I mentioned and so were the eggs the pico that it came with was also good. The cappuccino was absolutely amazing. The coffee beans that they use were smooth and flavorful a really good cup of cappuccino. For being as busy as it was, the line goes fairly quickly. There was still seating available for me to go in and enjoy my food. If you are in the San Antonio area definitely come and try this place out for breakfast brunch lunch or if you just want a sweet dessert The staff was all super friendly and the dining area was very clean. I will definitely be back the next time I am in town. read more

First of all from the pastry to the food way over priced for SA south Texas. The concha's are not Amazing. Had better in our local panderias. The cappuccino sub par, the breakfast plates way too gucci for any alleged Mexican menu. You have to get all your own condiments etc. And for the prices... not worth the $$$$$$. read more

Wow wow one of each please !! This place is awesome. They had some amazing Pan choices and sweets. Service was awesome, the biggest issues I had was having to pick one or two items!! the place was very welcoming and chill Faves for today : Plain concha ufffff , they also have a filled one that looked yummy Torta Pepito : beef /yummy mayo mix and fixings wow Sopita de fideos on point read more

The service was wonderful! The atmosphere was calm even though it was very busy on a Friday morning. I'm just glad the line wasn't out the door. I got the avocado toast with Sunny side up eggs and the chocolate - coffee cake. Both were beautiful! I enjoyed my meal and the cake was good... But my husband, of course, won both for the meal and the dessert! He ordered the amazing Mexican Cubano sandwich and a pastry with blueberries. They were incredible! We need a La Panadería just outside the city on the east side! The only thing I didn't like was having to drive into the city and then trying to get a parking spot. We were very blessed to find a spot without waiting too long/fighting for it, but I would be afraid to try it on a busier day. read more

The Mexican bakery was delightful. Tuesday morning and it wasn't crowded, but parking was hard due to small lot and it being full. Walking in, there are menus to grab and read or the menus posted above the line. The servers are quick to grab your pastry before you head over to the cashier to place your drink/food order. We got the nutella cruffin which was a delightful pastry. Good crunch with a nice whipped topping and nutella filling. The vanilla concha was also amazing. The frosting was thin and crunchy which complimented the airy soft breading. Not the typical pan dulce you see, which are soft frosting and dense breading; a nice switch! The cuban was very good, meat and pickles and sauce all went nicely together. I got the telera bread which was a good choice in my opinion. The hot chocolates were huge!! Very yummy but a tad too sweet. If too sweet is not for you, maybe see if some extra milk or base they use would be a good option. This has to be a slow sip drink because of that. Flavors inside the base were a nice choice as well. read more

We came on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and there was a bit of a line, but it moved pretty quickly luckily. Although we took the food to go, the ambiance in the store was very lively. We ordered: - La Vegetariana with Telera Bread and Lentil Soup - The sandwich was delicious and the Telera bread was slightly crunchy, but still soft and it was very flavorful overall. The Lentil Soup was also surprisingly delicious and flavorful! - Green Concha - This was their seasonal Concha with pistachio! It was delicious and soft and moist inside and slightly crunchy outside. The best part was that it was not overly sweet and the pistachio ganache filling was delicious. - Guava Empanada - I loved the guava filling! It tasted like fresh guava and not artificial. The pastry part was very flakey. - Tres Leches Croissant - This is another popular option and I really like the combination and the fact that it was not overly sweet. The pastry part was very flakey. Overall, we had a great time eating here and will be back to try other pastries and items on the menu. read more

It's a simple cafe with seating inside and outside. read more

Bread was so soft and yummy! My favorite was the white conchas but I took a few different ones as well. The almond croissants where so crispy I will definitely be back for more. Only thing I didn't like was flies inside one of the bread containers! I sure wish I could have tried the breads in that container. I would also suggest making a different line for bread because I had to wait a while to go through the food like just to get some bread. read more

Giving it 3 stars because first, when we went in, my daughter wasn't feeling good and I told her to sit, but the lady told her she couldn't sit down until after we get our food which I think is ridiculous since I am in line to get food anyway! Second, since theres a line, I can't see all the pastries in the glass case since there's people in line blocking it so I tell the employee if she could wait until I get to the end to see all the pastries. She helps the others which was fine, but when I got to the end, she never came back to me to help me. The other guy ended up helping me after I waited for a while. Got the avocado toast which was pretty good! Also tried their nutella cruffin and apple danish. The atmosphere didn't feel particularly welcoming. Not sure if I'll be back. read more
