    Breakfast quesadilla
    Iliana H.

    I've lived in the stone oak area for over a year now and had no clue this place was here. I loved the breakfast quesadilla and the mayo or aioli that came on it. Salad wasn't really the vibe for me on the side of breakfast. Would probably ask if they could sub for fruit next time. My coffee was good and there was free WiFi for us to work there. The staff had good recs and a fair warning that they do close at like 3 or so.

    A hidden gem with delicious eats and good coffee (personal faves are turkey croissant and the honey lavender latte). We have enjoyed Mother's Day and after church brunch here.

    Laurel Cafe is the best local breakfast . It never disappoints. What I noticed this time was the exceptional service and the attention to detail Thanks for making us feel special It's the little things that matter

    After years of passing by this cafe, we finally made a Sunday visit for breakfast. It's a clean, nicely decorated, cafe that offers a warm atmosphere to sit down and enjoy a meal. I went with the Rancho omelette and wifey did the breakfast bowl. The omelette was good, not spicy despite the description Rancho, so it was more of an English version of the dish and not the typical Mexican style that is all too common locally. Since the bakery was calling my name while in line to order, the raspberry crème pie got my attention. The crust is light and flaky with a small amount of raspberry and was good as a dessert appetizer. Yeah, that's a thing in our house. Got to meet the son of the owners family, and he was very nice and excited about their cafe. There are a variety of coffees, sweet teas , similar to a Starbucks menu, but for us non coffee lovers, a choice of a fresh brewed unsweetened tea would be a perfect complement to this place.

    A must! If its been on your list, or not. If you are looking for a simple breakfast or brunch location this is it. It is a small venue so it can get packed real quick. Talking 12 tables that sit a party of 4. This place has a small bakery selection with cool pastries, and kolaches. I ordered the "Breakfast Quesadilla" w/a side of potatoes instead of a salad. It was delish!! The eggs, the ham is EGG-celent! I'm not usually one for that aioli sauce but it was really good. They also have mimosas. What I liked the most was that before I entered the building one of the brothers that work there opened the door to welcome us. The staff was very polite and helpful. I hope this place sticks around for a long time. I may have just found my go to breakfast café.

    A hidden gem. This cafe has large windows with lots of natural light. the decor is calming and they have a great bakery selection. The service was quick and friendly.

    Beautiful place, in what seems to be the middle of nowhere. Found this place in Yelp because I wanted to meet a friend for coffee and cake, but we decided to also have some food. We both orders the grilled chicken sandwich, which was huge and delicious. The price was a bit high, but the size of the sandwich was pretty good and it came with a salad. In fact, the sandwich was so plentiful, that we had some to take home with us. Service was impeccable and everyone was very friendly and attentive. The sandwiches came out pretty quickly and everything was well prepared. I also ordered their chai latte, which was fairly large, as well, and pretty good. I did not order their desserts, but they looked tasty. This is definitely a place that I will visit again to try some more of their food.

    Laurel Cafe is the best! I recently found this spot a couple months ago and have already been 10 plus time! I love their latte and chilaquiles but everything I have had is amazing. Service is great and the place has a good vibe to it. The staff is friendly and respectful. I will be going back soon!

    Cute atmosphere yummy drinks! I got a pumpkin spice latte and my partner got a matcha latte. She wished it was a bit more matcha forward but the flavor was good. The breakfast bowl was really good. I also loved that they paired it with focaccia bread! We ordered a pancake to share and it was very good! My partner wasn't too keen on her breakfast sandwich. We both thought it would be better with focaccia bread instead of the bun with the sauce on the side but we could've definitely requested that. Overall a really great experience and the staff were extremely friendly.

    For Saturday lunch, I was looking for a new place to try and found @laurelcafetx, which is not too far from where we live. One part of the window looks out to the golf course. We looked over the menu, ordered and paid at the counter. Hubby had the Egg Croissant and Cold Brew. Dad had the Kid's Breakfast with a pancake and 2 scrambled eggs, and Lemonade. I had the Chicken Salad Sandwich and Four Corners Local Buzz Honey-Rye Golden Ale. It was a great new discovery for lunch and pretty good.

    Breakfast Sandwich with egg, bacon, jalapeño aioli, and salad
    Veronica Pagán B.

    This cafe being a 5 minute drive or 15 minute walk from where I live could be a problem. They are absolutely delicious! WOW! Nothing was bad! My husband and I have driven past Laurel many times and we finally decided to stop in and try them. They have a very minimalist style inside and a few tables for dining outside as well. They do service alcohol and have happy hour specials posted, which is interesting for a cafe, but hey . . . Why not?! We ordered two fresh coffees which were perfect, nice earthy flavor, smooth, not acid, not bitter. The danishes were amazing! And the girl that took our order warmed them up for us so they were warm and fabulous to dip in our coffee. We also got the orange cranberry scone which was beautifully crafted, not hard and crumbly, it had a light crunch on the outside and soft on the inside, and the flavor was so good! But that breakfast sandwich was the real star, so perfect! It is served on a flaky croissant with light fluffy scrambled eggs, perfectly cooked bacon, and a fabulous jalapeño dressing. It is on the pricey side but it is worth every cent! If you drive by and see they are open, stop in and try them!

    The customer service was amazing and the food was just delicious (to the point I was halfway in my dish before taking a picture) and the coffee was great. It's real sweet for lattes so make sure to order half sweet. Its quaint and the outside seating is perfect for brunch! Highly recommend for a laid-back breakfast.

    We had a fantastic time here - great experience! We arrived right at 8am for breakfast on a Friday morning. There weren't many folks there yet, but you could tell that everyone who was there were regulars. The staff were so nice and helpful! The chef even popped out and chatted with us. We had two lattes - which were good! The breakfast bowl and the chilaquiles bowl. Both the meals were LARGE and SO tasty! We'll definitely come back!

    So pretty!

    I'm glad I gave them another try. I dined here a few months ago and didn't enjoy the food as much…read moreas I would have liked. But today, it was a success! Fried Green tomatoes - 10/10 Grits - 10/10 Praline Bacon - 10+++ Avocado - 10/10 Biscuits - 9/10 Scrambled Eggs w/Cheese - 6/10. After all that cheese and cajun seasoning, they were still tasteless. I added black pepper and it helped. My chai latte with oatmilk and a little caramel topped the meal off. Oh, and I ordered some beignets to-go. I remember those being good. I got 3 classics and 1 stuffed with peaches and cream. The music was a mixture between jazz, r&b, and a little funk. It added a nice touch on this rainy morning, especially jamming to James Brown. The hotness was friendly and looked like she was ready for her day. And Sara, our waitress, had a nice disposition early in the morning. She was pleasant, friendly, and efficient.

I had my family join me for brunch, and unfortunately, it left us with questions. The biggest question was, "Where was the favor?" I knew I wouldn't like the chicory coffee, yet there was another option available that I enjoyed more that was a decaf. The child's plate was one of the worst kid's meal values I've seen in a while. It was $10 for one tender and a beignet. The tender was small and left my child wanting more, so I paid $7 for an extra tender. Please consider a plate that has two tenders and fruit or potatoes for older kids since this was sized for a toddler. The $10 Doggy Meal looked like it could have provided that option since it came with grilled chicken, sweet potato, and steamed rice. The adult plates had enough food for an actual meal, so we shared our plates with my child who only wanted more chicken and potatoes at that point. The Bayou BLT was okay, yet nothing to rave about. My husband wasn't impressed with the Blue Crab Omelette, and my aunt said her Catfish St. Charles was very bland. We all had an order of beignets that were tough and chewy. My husband and I have had freshly baked and powdered beignets at Cafe Du Moude, so these tiny versions were a tough sell. What did have flavor? The Bananas Foster pancakes, which was the better dessert option. While the restaurant itself was cute, expect table service to be long. We constantly waited for waitstaff to return to refill coffee, bring napkins, or furnish a needed utensil. Also, the parking will be tight. We were lucky to get spots adjacent to the restaurant rather than offsite, yet you will be watched like a hawk when you attempt to leave. People want those spots. If you want the feel of brunch with okay-ish food at expensive prices, come to NOLA the restaurant. If you're expecting to relive the actual taste of NOLA the city, start booking your next getaway for the real deal.

    A Perfect Return to Where Our Forever Began My husband and I…read moregot married at Hotel Valencia one year ago, so getting to return this weekend to celebrate our first wedding anniversary was incredibly special. As part of our wedding package, they were incredibly generous and included two complimentary nights at the hotel and dinner at Dorrego's for us to celebrate. They are truly the absolute best at what they do and really know how to celebrate their guests! Returning to the very place where we said "I do" was already emotional enough, but Hotel Valencia somehow made the experience even more memorable than our first stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff was exactly as we remembered them: kind, attentive, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. Our room was absolutely gorgeous, and when we walked in on our first day, we found the sweetest surprise waiting for us: a bottle of champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a congratulations message written in chocolate on the plate. I actually teared up a little! It was such a thoughtful and adorable gesture that truly made us feel seen, celebrated, and cared for. There is something so special about Hotel Valencia. The environment is exceptional, the service is always outstanding, and even their gorgeous signature scent instantly brings us back to memories of love, celebration, and adventure. Every little detail feels intentional and memorable. I am so incredibly thankful that we chose Hotel Valencia as the place to celebrate both our wedding and our first anniversary. It will forever hold such a special place in our hearts, and we cannot wait to return again and make even more memories there. Thank you, Hotel Valencia, for helping make two of the most meaningful celebrations of our lives absolutely unforgettable!

    A Wonderful Stay at Hotel Valencia!…read more We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Valencia on the San Antonio River Walk! The location is perfect step out the front door and you're right in downtown San Antonio. From the hotel restaurant, you can take the stairs or elevator directly down to the River Walk, which makes getting around so easy and convenient. What we especially loved is that this hotel has so much character and charm. It doesn't feel like one of those cookie-cutter chain hotels. We had a balcony, although it was simply too hot during our visit to sit outside and enjoy it. I'm sure it would be wonderful on a cooler evening! The bar and restaurant were both excellent, and the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. A special shout-out to the valet guys they provided wonderful service and were always so helpful. Great location, beautiful atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, and exceptional service. We would definitely stay here again when we're back in San Antonio!
