    There was a line when we got there but it moved very fast! The servers were friendly and had great recommendations! The decor and vibes were on point as well. I got the Tres Leches Croissant and the Croissant waffle plate. The grout could've been sweeter but really, it was tasty with the sweet cream.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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'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.

    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.

    One person, five pastries. And I still barely cracked the surface of what they had to offer. Pretty good but not earth shattering. Some things were better than others. I especially liked the croissant concha hybrid. Loved the interior of the establishment. I ordered online and pick up was made easy with friendly staff.

    Overall: Such a fun spot for cheesecake! Definitely worth checking out if you're a cheesecake fan…read more Parking: There's a small parking lot right by the shop, but it can fill up pretty quickly. We were able to park, but I could see it being an issue during busy times. Seating/Ambiance: The indoor area is pretty small, with just a few tables. They also have some tables outside along the side, which is nice when the weather is good. It's more of a quick dessert stop than somewhere I'd plan to hang out for a long time. Cheesecake: You can get cheesecake by the slice or in individual jars, which I thought was a cute option. They have a good variety of flavors. We tried the Turtle cheesecake and it was delicious! Rich, creamy, and definitely hit the spot. Bonus: They have a loyalty/reward where after 10 jars, you get a free jar, which is a nice incentive if you live nearby or become a regular. One suggestion: My only complaint is that I wish they had a description of what's inside each cheesecake flavor. You have to ask about the ingredients/fillings for each one, which makes it a little harder to decide when there are so many options. Everyone's very nice. You select your cheesecake & then go to the end of the counter to pay. Overall: Cute little cheesecake shop with lots of fun flavors and the option to get individual jars. Parking and seating are limited, but the cheesecake is definitely worth a visit. Would come back to try more flavors!

I tried the limited edition raspberry black sesame (6$), cookies and cream (6$) and the space in picnic? (9$, the lemon meringue, blueberry one) My favorite was the lemon meringue (9/10), then raspberry black sesame (8.7/10), then cookies and cream (6/10). The meringue was such a nice texture and the berry brightness and lemon was wonderful. The raspberry was perfectly tart in contrast with the nuttiness of the black sesame. The cookies and cream were just average to me, nothing special. Service was decent and you get to keep the jars. They have one dollar off frappes M-Thrs happy hour (3-5 i think?)
