Bright, friendly, and welcoming. The people who own this bakery are eager to serve others a good and delicious part of Puerto Rican and Cuban culture, and easily connect with their customers (within my experience) using humor and patience. Cozy ambiance, the type of bakery that you can easily work at and try new things - I ended up trying a Malta for the first time... as much as it wasn't for me, I loved their Quesito with the cream cheese filling. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to try the sandwiches they made. In San Antonio, they are more affordable than most, and according to the ones that have tried them - they are fantastic. I went with a group of 4. One of us got coffee and a carbonated coconut juice drink, and something else. If I can, I'd go again just to try something new, and quite possibly, something delicious. A small business that lays its intentions on its sleeve, and located on a nice little spot on the side of Bandera. The inside looks clean and nice, and as for its food, I do always suggest with anything new, to try it, and see for yourself. Great place. read more

A hidden gem! Amazing service, amazing food and super cute restaurant. The owners are from Puerto Rico and they are also the cook! The mom is the one that bakes and the son carries the store, he is super nice and explained everything! We had a variety like the bocadillo, quesito con guayaba, sorullito, empanadilla de carne and a budín. What an amazing experience, we ate it all and we don't feel heavy like when you go to other places. 100% recomendable! We are going to comeback for sure!! read more

Hands down one of the best Puerto Rican bakeries I've visited outside the island. The bread was fresh, the pastelillos were perfectly seasoned, and the guava pastries reminded me of home. Every bite tasted homemade. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I am always on the lookout for those international out of the ordinary places to try. This place has been on my list to try and never got the chance to get to it since they close somewhat early I am kinda sad I didn't get to experience that hospitality earlier! We were greeted by who I am assuming is the son since it is called Mom&Son bakery... friendly and kind is not enough to express how he approached us and helped us order! We wanted to try all the traditional pastries. He recommended us what to get and even gave us samples of juice to pick which one we like. These were full cups lol not just only samples! When you pay he hand you a printed note with some positivity written on it! This was the sweetest touch! And I am sure it will brighten anybody's day! Everything we ordered was delicious! You can tell made with love Also the vibes are so positive! Families adjoining tables chit chatting... kids running around! I will definitely be back! read more

A family-owned business that serves a nice simple, lunch. I had the ham and cheese sandwich. The bread was homemade, the ham was tasty, and I had the choice of three different cheeses. The space was pleasant and the one worker was friendly (other workers were preparing the food in the kitchen). read more

Savory items are outstanding. Cuban sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. Pastries are kept refrigerated so are not flaky at all, I would pass on those. Definitely going back for more sandwiches. read more

Adorable place. Very clean inside. Inviting. Was promptly greeted with a smile. In the photos I tried the powdered sugar things. Sorry. They were light and really good. The cookies were a miss for me and the coconut balls were good but dry. To be fair they were closing soon. The empanadas were good. Big. The salsas with them were good. Definitely would go back. Very nice people. Even their young kids were displaying their exceptional customer service. read more

As a fellow Puerto Rican who desperately misses the flavors of home I was extremely excited and I was NOT let down. The customer service who I think was the "son" was so kind. I do think they may need help eventually in the front because it got a bit busy for one person to get orders out and take them. Prices were reasonable! The corn meal/ harina de maíz was wonderful!!!! I'd love to see them add more to the menu and perhaps add an order of smaller / multiple surullitos since an order for them was just for one large one. Wishing them the best read more

Who knew that a Puerto Rican family had opened a bakery in Leon Valley, Texas. Well, I I did not know, but I had seen a "sign" for a bakery and I had always thought that this part of Bandera road needs a good bakery. Well, the wait is over because Mom & Son Bakery is amazing!!! The pastries are gastronomic perfection--freshly baked, flaky, crispy, with just the right balance of tropical fruit and/or cream cheese fillings. Twice I have visited and so far I have sampled a guava and cheese turnover, a Cuban sandwich and a tiny little crispy, sweet and cheesy snippet called a quesito. Everything that I have tried is delicious and I can't wait to go back for more. I love this place! The young man who runs the cash register greets every customer with a smile and a hello. You feel the warmth and neighborly spirit as soon as you walk into the bakery. And, after you place your order you receive a positive message for the day. In addition to sweet treats, there are breakfast and lunch sandwiches offered. I ordered a Cuban sandwich to go and it was a generous sized sandwich that was flavorful and good. Wait times may be just a bit long for someone on their way to work, but, go early the food is worth the wait and if you go too late in the day they tend to sell out. Also, the prices for the pastries are not displayed clearly. The bakery is open from 6 am until 2 pm, Tuesday - Saturday, but, they stop making sandwiches around 1 pm. And, like I said, go early because they sell out fast. If great food and excellent customer service matter to you and you just want to feel good in the morning, then start your day at Mom & Son Bakery. Ya'll know how we do-- you BETTER go get you some! read more

Mom & Son Bakery - The menu at Mom & Son Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Leon Valley, Texas

We stopped by here on a Saturday midday on the guidance of Yelp reviews. This place deserves every star it receives. From the moment we stepped through the doors we knew this was going to be good. First, we were greeted like we had been coming here for years. Secondly, as we spoke to people we found out many were from Puerto Rico and said this food was authentic. When we explained this was our first time here, JC, the son, did not hesitate to share all they offered on the menu in detail. Everything sounded so delicious, but we finally settled on pastrami sandwich, Cuban sandwich, bread pudding, and tres leches cake. One bite into the baked goods and you could immediately tell this was homemade. The sandwiches were huge and tasted amazing. The son was so sweet he even gave us a plate of Sorullitos, Puerto Rican corn fritters with cheese, for free to taste. Let me tell you, remember that restaurant scene from the movie When Harry met Sally, well that was me! Yes! Yes! Yes! Where have these been all my life! Everything was so amazing that we couldn't leave without getting one of everything in their bakery case. My husband and I plan to spend many more Saturdays here for our weekly mommy-daddy time together. Review from Jennifer Escobedo, Reuben's better half read more

Decided to try sonething off the beaten path. So glad we did! The "son" from the mom and son bakery asked how we heard about them. We told him yelp and that we couldnt pass trying them out with such a high rating by the other previous yelpeds. They are a puerto rican bakery but all you need to know is that if you want an over the top sandwhich they had at least a dozen breakfast and lunch option sandwhiches. We bought 3 different ones. My hubby had the cuban and it was better than any I've had in Miami or Puerto Rico. Beautiful shaved meat, crisp delicious bread and the right amount of mustard and pickles. Pardon if i butcher the name of the other 2 sandwhiches - the tripterria ( a triple meat shaved sandwhich with fresh tomatos and lettuce) and the echerria ? I could only finish 1/2 my sandwhic because the meal came with chips. The pastries and desserts looked amazing so we bought several to try at home. The inside is so cute and comfy with lots of seating. The owner offered us some complimentary coffee to go with lunch which was perfect beccause it wasnt weak coffee. Come visit this amazing place! It felt healthy, delicious and so satisfying! read more

I came in at around 6:30am on a Saturday and was greeted by the gentleman tending the cash register and he was very kind. We exchanged pleasantries and then he went into explaining each pastry they had for sale. I'm not much familiar with Puerto Rican culture or foods nor do I speak Spanish so he was very patient with my ignorance. Each item sounded just as great as the last and they're all offered in varying sizes. I ended up buying 2 breakfast sandwiches, an Apple Star, a guava puff pastry, and the seasonal cream cheese stuffed puff pastry as well as a pumpkin iced coffee. My total (before tip) was around $45 which I believe was very reasonable for the amount of food I got. Portion sizes are very generous. The price to size for the breakfast sandwiches far beat something you can get at a fast food establishment. Everything was packed very well and secured for my trip back home and nothing slid around. They even packed us 2 free bags of chips and a kind passage from the Bible (despite I'm not religious, I appreciate the gesture). My fiancée and I loved every piece of food there and it really started our day off well. My single minor critique was that the guava puff pastry had a slight hint of a soapy taste but that may just be from a single mixing bowl that was not rinsed out enough before used for baking. That does not soil my experience by any means though and we will be returning to try more menu items! read more

his was seriously such a gem to have a solo lunch today. It's a cute spot tucked away off of Bandera Rd and I immediately felt welcomed. I was given a run through of the menu and what everything is. The bread pudding tasted like love! I don't even know how to describe it. It was just so yummy and you felt the love that was put into making it. I enjoyed good conversation, food and coffee. The icing on the cake was this spot's version of a fortune cookie (sans the cookie). I didn't even realize how much I needed that. read more

My mom invited me for breakfast, but of course, I paid. Walked into a very crisp and pristine bakery that had a yummy aroma of coffee and baked goods was very favorable and encouraging. The friendly employees and owners greet customers and take the time to explain in detail the Puerto Rican sweets and other menu items. My mom had the oatmeal and bread pudding. Unfortunately, I was not able to get a picture of the oatmeal as she gobbled it. I did get a taste, and although I am not an oatmeal fan, I have to say it was very good. It had the right amount of sweet and constancy. For my taste, I would have wanted some added nuts, maybe raisins or maybe cinnamon, but that is just me. My mom enjoyed it, and to her, it was perfect, so it's a matter of taste. The bread pudding was perfectly baked with just the right amount of raisins (yup! I'm a raisin fan), spices, and the piece was very generous. Now, to the star of the meal, the Cuban sandwich. It was oh so good and I will be going for it again. The bread was perfectly toasted with a very good amount of pork, ham pickles, and condiments. All perfectly blended to perfection and totally amazing! It is served with chips, which I was given a bag of Doritos, but would have preferred just plain chips. Who cares about the chips... let's get back to The Cuban... the sandwich was very good, and honestly, I was only able to eat half. Took the other half home to give my husband to tell me that I had to take him soon. So, we will be back! *The only thing that I would even attempt to ding the restaurant would be the temperature of the place. It was cold, and although I requested an adjustment, they tried to accommodate. it was still too cold for us. So, next time, I'm taking my sweater with me... just in case. read more

Love supporting small businesses and local. This super cute bakery has some very unique and delicious pastries. Mom & Son Bakery has Puerto Rican influences and a welcoming family setting. I highly recommend coming in and checking them out. The flavors are delicious and the pastries are light and filling. Bavarian Cream, fruit and many more choices. Plus they have hot breakfast and coffees. They offer a great spot if you need to get some work done outside of the office, enjoy a nice coffee and pastry or bring the family in for breakfast. Reminded me of a small town coffee shop where everyone knows your name. Come show your support! read more
