The Emma hotel itself is a beautiful, charming joint with heavy industrial influence and this bar is no exception. We stopped in for post-dinner drinks and enjoyed the blues band that was playing. Our server, Brie was great - friendly, helpful, and very attentive. They have a nice list of spirits, including all the craft cocktails staples, like Chartreuse, to help you get the Last Word! We stayed for about an hour and a half and enjoyed the comfy seating, relaxed atmosphere, and amazing drinks. Definitely will return! read more

Larder is located inside Hotel Emma in San Antonio, TX. It is not exclusive to guests of the hotel. There is easy access almost directly to the counter on the south side. Larder is an "in-house gourmet market and café." My silly girls were craving bagels for breakfast before our zoo visit on 5.25.2025. We each had a bagel plus we shared a raspberry iced donut and a blueberry cookie with macadamia nuts. One girl had a hot chocolate and the other had a very unflavorful and lukewarm cappuccino. I'd probably pass on this place again, but it was good for a relatively fast small breakfast. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 3 | Price: 4 read more

Great coffee, great service. I love getting coffee here, especially if you want some peace and quiet from the other noisy restaurants, coffee shops, and businesses. It's never too busy, plenty of seating, and they have a lot of fun seasonal drinks that are always fun and delicious. read more

Love the ambiance here and the merchandise for sale I got myself a cute bag as a reminder of my visit here. The cold brew coffee was delicious so was the brookie I got. Freshly baked pastries, coffee, cold drinks and more. They have many gift items and kitchen supplies that are great quality. Located inside the beautiful Emma hotel. A great place to get your cup of coffee any time of the day. The service was ok I honestly expected friendlier service. Other than that all was good. read more

Great ambiance and great service. They have a nice coffee shop inside here and plenty of drink options. I haven't tried the food but mainly tried the coffee and was not disappointed. They also have a large seating area and plenty of food options. It doesn't look like a grocery store, I thought it was just a coffee shop but they have a little bit of everything. Prices weren't crazy but also not cheap. read more

Larder is a hit or miss for me. Sometimes I get good quality. Sometimes I don't. I have worked at the Pearl for around 3 years. Today was the Farmers Market and there's a lot of traffic. I decided to sit in Larders today with my plate of food where I was approached by the manager, I guess. Was a female, low ponytail, bangs, and lip stud on her lower lip. She told me that there was no out door food or drinks allowed. I was puzzled because no one had ever approached me in 3 years however I don't always choose to eat here. I expressed that her and she stated that they are cracking down now. I complied, "I asked if I could sit outside with my food on the patio. She apologized and said, "no". I get it. Rules are rules. However I was the only one asked to leave and there where couples with their drinks from Supper and other people with their food from the food hall- food from. Chilaquil I would have liked for the rules to apply to everyone. read more

Convenient place to pick up a snack or beverage, including beer and wine. They have a large selection of canned beer in the back of the back of the shop. There is also a coffee bar inside offering pastries and food. You can take alcoholic beverages outside the 4 blocks area surrounding Hotel Emma as they have an open container policy. .|\---/| | o_o | .\_^_/..2021 read more

We stopped into Larder while at the Harvest Night Market & Dia del los Muertos Fedtival at the Pearl Brewery. Both times, my friend and I grabbed a snack (some fruit), a gut-health "shot" from the refrigerated section and then a fun treat (they had pumpkin spice caramels). This place is a cute little store within the Hotel Emma that offers grab-n-go items as well as salads/sandwhiches/coffee. The goods are on the higher end and the prices reflect that which is to be expected. The only thing I didn't love is that they're a card-only merchant. Usually I wouldn't care, but when my bill was less than $5 for the fruit, single caramel and gut-health shot... I would've liked to use cash. Regardless, I'd visit again and would love to try one of their salads and coffees next time. read more

This was my 3rd stop at a coffee shop posting hours of operation on Friday starting at 6am (snip below). But I arrived at 6:50am to find the gate of the shop closed, and when I asked a man-cashier, he told me they were not open till 7am. Though, I told the advertised hours said 6am. He wasn't interested in finding out where this info was posted, but instead repeated again that they would be open at 7am. I told him I drove all the way as my 3rd stop and last hope to get coffee as I needed to be at work at 7am and couldn't wait longer, but he could care less and repeated again they would be opened at 7am. What a waste of time, the man lacked listening skills and definitely no empathy. read more

Location! Location! Location! The Pearl is obviously an amazing area and Hotel Emma is a staple! Simply, historic. I decided to try a new coffee shop and tried Larder. I ordered a matcha with oat milk and lavender. The service was fine. I indulged my matcha on the patio while enjoying a good book. I'll definitely be back, but the #1 reason is location - the matcha was good though. They also serve other items besides coffee. Wine, beer, and etc. read more

Loved getting coffee here. This place is like a very nice convenience store that has a coffee shop and pastries. It's like a hidden gem. Service was great! The aesthetics is great, like an old library. As far as the coffee, I have high standards for lavender lattes and they really met my expectations. It was great! they had milk alternatives and pebble ice for the coffee (my favorite). Highly recommend this place. read more

Larder is a great coffee shop located in the Hotel Emma and located right off of the Pearl brewery complex main square--Larder has entrances both through the hotel and outside in the complex. Larder had a great selection of hot teas and pastries--I particularly liked the cinnamon roll (with cream cheese frosting!) and bananas foster muffins. Service was excellent--the staff was so cheerful and seemed happy to be there. read more

I haven't been able to stop thinking about the snicker doodle cookie that I got here a few months ago. Best cookie of my life. They have a great selection of imported beer too. The staff was so nice! Love it here. read more

Good coffee, slightly unfortunate name. I've been to Larder a couple of times--once for a cup of coffee, and another for a tasty lunch. The staff is pretty friendly and it also doubles as a small convenience store (albeit more expensive than your local Valero). Their lemonade is perfect for a hot day, and the sandwich was super filling. I only managed to eat half before taking the rest home. And the thing I was most excited to eat later? This MASSIVE fudgy brownie. It was one of those perfect brownies that reminded me of a gourmet Little Debbie brownie. Dense. Fudgy. In need of a cigarette and a nap afterward. Coffee shops are not a revolutionary idea, especially when you're traipsing about at The Pearl. But out of towners (or even staycationers) staying at Hotel Emma can't go wrong picking up a fine brew and treat at Larder. read more

Go here. Ask for a brown butter s'mores rice krispie treat. Swoon. Pay for it. Enjoy every bite of it. This shop has a nice selection of treats, snacks, lunch items, grocery items, drinks, etc. The staff was friendly and helpful as we tried to figure out what to eat. I would also stop by here if you were looking for a gift for a foodie as they had a nice selection of different olive oils, hot sauces, etc. It's a nice addition to The Pearl! read more

Been to the Pearl countless times and I finally stepped foot inside this grocery store connected to Hotel Emma. During these times only 10 customers allowed at a time and mask is required. They sell toilet paper here and some produce. They have some cheeses and wines as well. This is a fine grocery place so the goods are pricey and boujee. They have outside seating which is nice and it was not crowded at all. We took some lunch and bought coffee from here and ate in their patio pavilion. read more

If you want a snack or a drink while staying at the hotel, this is your place. The beer is the same price as in the hotel Ice box, so don't go out of your way to try to save money. $3 per can of pearl beer. The store has a combination of dry goods and deli/ pastry items. They sell coffee too. The staff is great. The big plus is that it is easily accessed through hotel Emma. read more

Enjoyed the coffee and toffee rice crispy treat. Great selection of snacks, drinks and many other miscellaneous items. There's a section of beers and I found the one I enjoyed while in Japan. Sandwiches were a bit underwhelming for the price. There's outdoor and indoor seating. Great for small groups. read more

PROS: + Convenient for those who stay at Hotel Emma, particularly if they don't want to venture any further from their building. + Cute rustic shop to buy snacks and kitchen supplies, with patio seating and a small food menu. They also have a build your own oatmeal bar! + Good variety of goods from local beers and coffee to vegan, gluten free, nondairy, etc options for those on specialized diets. CONS: - Limited pastry items on display, and those that were there were old-looking cookies rather than the breakfast pastries and donuts I'd been recommended. - All coffees served in takeout cups despite dine in service available. Seasonal Dulce de Leche latte was underwhelming, tasted like a regular vanilla latte. - Pricey. You can find several of the local grocery items at other shops in the Pearl area, usually a bit lower in cost. read more

Larder is located within the Hotel Emma but is accessible from the Pearl walkway (or you can come in through the hotel). As a former business traveler, I can attest to the fact that this is the hotel shoppette that business travelers dream of. It has everything from meals to snacks to drinks - of all kind - to desserts, as well as reading materials and Texas-themed gifts. Larder offers a couple of seating areas so you can grab and go or enjoy your purchases in store. They have a full-service coffee bar and sell plenty of baked goods to accompany your drink. They also sell an impressive assortment of alcoholic beverages ranging from local brews (sold in cans not on tap) to wine for every taste and budget. There are plenty of snacks and meal items to go along with your drinks. And if you are trying to put together a Texas-themed package, Larder has a plethora of foodie and non-perishable items to choose from. I'm a local, but I love visiting this store. If you haven't been, you must. read more

I'm a sucker for beautiful gourmet markets. Larder at Hotel Emma is no exception. The cozy space offers two narrow stories of wines, Texas honeys, desserts, pre-made salads, fresh local juices and more. Fun fact: this is the first hotel in Texas to boast an in-house journey market (they even sell pre-made picnics!). The fun thing about this location is that it's wedged equidistant between several of the key San Antonio attractions like the Japanese Gardens, Grotto, Alamo and Breckinridge Park. One more note about the in-house market-- it's the old fermenting cellar of Pearl Brewery. DO NOT leave Larder without popping your head into the Hotel Emma lobby. Bring your camera and enjoy. read more

Nice little shop with very welcoming and attentive employees. I bought a spinach quiche, some biscuits with aged cheddar, and a mixed greens salad. I was just roaming around looking after buying some ice cream at Lick.

Larder is a small speciality convenient store that sell a few products to cook at home and sell deli products. It is a very cool design and looks to serve people who live at the Pearl Brewery and guests at the Emma Hotel. The design looks something from Harry Potter where there is dark colors and a balcony with store items. The food products are high quality and there are a few tables in side and outside to enjoy your sandwich, wine, or desert. read more

Grabbed a premade sandwich out of the case. Just an FYI- these are dry sandwiches and in need of some sort of dressing. Just not a great sandwich. My husband ordered one off the menu and he said it was okay. It was warmed and came with housemade chips and a good pickle. We each grabbed a Pearl beer (When in Rome) and went to the pool. Looks better than it tasted. read more

You're having fun at the Pearl--maybe you and your family have been splashing in Gustav's Geysers or playing on the lawn at Pearl Park--and you start to feel hungry. If you didn't pack a picnic and don't have the time or cash for a table service meal, then go to Larder and get a snack. They have grab-and-go juice, yogurt, nuts, crackers, etc. They also brew coffee and prepare food to order. Most restaurants at the Pearl have a higher price point, but you can get a taste-stimulating treat at Larder without too much wallet damage. Enjoy! read more

SA Current lured me to this place with a note about having some of the best donuts. And being a donut nut, I flocked. But on the two occasions I've been, no donuts. What this place does have is a collection of speciality local items, items that scream the culture of San Antonio beyond just the Mi Tierra scene. We're talking yogurts, honeys, ice creams, etc. what Larder does so well is showcase the real class of the urban farmer in San Antonio. We may be a big city who loves it's Mexican food, but we also love healthy, and sweet, and specialty neat. A little intimidating when you walk in. You run right i to the counter where about 6 employees may or may not swarm with hellos and how are yous and what can we get you? Not too shabby at all. But where are the donuts!? read more

Larder is a great alternative to the Pearl Food Hall, and frankly, I'm pretty sure everything here is healthier as well save for the vegan friendly Good Kind. Plus, they are puppy friendly to the extent that Miss Ridley pretty much knows every single person that works here now. Good dog! But obviously you care more about the products than whether my puppy feels comfortable, and I can respect that. So for breakfast they have some pretty good takes on salmon and avocado toast. They make a decent Cuban for lunch. I like to pick from their prepared foods which usually consist of some antipasto and pastas. Don't want prepped food? They got some solid beers, an interesting selection of frozen food, and even some novelty meats and cheeses. This isn't a huge selection, but it's enough if you need to make some quick additions to a picnic in the Pearl. Basically, if you are looking for meat, wine, cheese, dog treats or a prepped meal, you can find it here at Larder. read more
