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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Can dine in or carry out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

Lines were long but moved quickly, food was delicious and the world were all exceedingly helpful and friendly

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

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It does get crowded especially on the weekends, but the wait is worth it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The Mexican bakery was delightful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tuesday morning and it wasn't crowded, but parking was hard due to small lot and it being full.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

This is the second time we've come to the cafe and it did not disappoint. ALL the bakery items are amazing, from the conchas to the turnovers. We've even gotten a few of their sandwiches with the Mexican Cuban definitely being a crowd favorite. It's not cheap but definitely worth a trip every now and then. 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

Food: 5 Service: 4.5 [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: 5[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall: 4.9 Delicious place for Pastry! I didn't get to try anything else other than the pastries and they were all excellent. Review is based on pastries alone: Their Crossaint, Kouign Amann, Concha, were all delicious! Really fresh stuff! 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

This place was recommended by a family member and La Panadería did not disappoint! I am glad we came by to try their La Vegetariana Torta with the César Salad. The tres leches matcha latte was so good. I enjoy trying different variations of matcha latte. For dessert, we had the smores cookie, hot chocolate, and conchas. It was my first time trying a concha and I love it! I forgot to take pictures of those but trust it's good. We had to order more to bring home.

Wow, this is the first time visiting this restaurant and it won't be the last. There are billboards and signs everywhere marketing this restaurant and now I understand why.

The coffee was delicious also! Made slightly different from Starbucks, but mouthwatering! Highly recommend. 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

First time trying concha's and I've been trying to find more since! Amazing and indescribable consistency! Light and sweet crisp on the outside and soft sweet bread inside!
