Beacon Hill Market and Deli rests easy, like a good saddle that's seen its share of miles and still…read morefits just right. It's the kind of place folks drift into and, before long, start calling their own. The people there carry themselves with quiet pride--no fuss, no show--just a steady hand at their work and a genuine welcome for whoever steps through the door. The menu ain't thrown together. It's been shaped with care, like a well-tuned string on a guitarra, each choice meant to stand on its own but better still when taken together. The flavors come through bold and honest, with a little flourish here and there--nothing overdone, just enough to remind you somebody back there knows what they're about. It's a small spot, sure, but that only draws folks closer. Feels a bit like gathering under a shaded porch after a long day--easy talk, shared laughter, and the sense you're among friends, whether you've known 'em years or just met 'em. Every greeting carries the warmth of old ties, like you've been welcomed back rather than simply let in. And the food--well, it doesn't hold back. Each bite's got a richness that settles in and makes you slow down, take notice, and then go back for more. It's the kind of meal that stays with you, the way a good story does. Spend a little time there with friends, and you'll come away knowing you've found something true--a place where the spirit of San Antonio, with its charro heart and neighborly ways, lives on in every plate set down and every hand extended in welcome.

Unpopular opinion incoming: I'm not overly impressed. A good sandwich is one of my favorite things,…read moreso this joint's been on my radar for a while. So, when co-workers wanted to go yesterday, I jumped on it. Don't get me wrong. I love the vibe of this place. I LOVE their story. It's very NY/Northeastern deli feel (they're from Pittsburgh, but you get my drift, right!?). No nonsense. Small inside area. No tables inside. Just enough room to look at the menu, order, and go wait outside. I opted for the chicken bacon ranch on hoagie. What came out was a decent size sandwich, but incredibly messy and soggy. There was so much juice/ liquid the sandwich quickly became unmanageable and just disintegrated. Look, if you're going to serve a sandwich that messy, please upgrade your napkins. It was a one bite - two napkin ratio. The sandwich was good, but the mess and difficulty eating it just took away any enjoyment. Additionally, the flies outside rivaled the worst I've experienced. Do you remember the scene in the Lost World, Jurassic Park movie when the hunters found the Rex nest!? Okay, okay, maybe not that bad, but it was a lot. Hang some fly bags or strips or somethin'. Found price to be a little high. By the time I bought chips and a drink, plus tip: $22. Just FYI: my co-worker disagrees. He thought it was the BEST SANDWICH HE'D EVER HAD. So, yes, go give them a try, but bring a beach towel for clean up.

Finally made my first visit to The Newstand after wanting to check it out for awhile, and it…read moredefinitely lived up to the vibe I was hoping for! I stopped by during the early afternoon after lunch, so it wasn't too busy and ordering was quick and easy. The employees at the register were super friendly, answered my questions, and made the experience welcoming for a first-time visitor. Although I had already eaten beforehand and didn't get to try any of the sandwiches or food items yet, the menu looked delicious and gave me plenty of reasons to come back. I did order an iced vanilla latte with almond milk, and it was so good -- smooth, flavorful, and honestly hard to put down. The decor and ambiance were probably one of my favorite parts. The space has a very chill, cozy atmosphere that makes it a great spot to catch up with a friend or just hang out for awhile without feeling rushed. My drink also came out pretty quickly, which I appreciated. One thing I was initially concerned about was parking, but I ended up finding street parking about a block away pretty easily. I could definitely see parking becoming more difficult during busier times in the area though, so that's probably something to keep in mind depending on when you visit. Looking forward to coming back soon to finally try the food!

I tried them again, wondering if maybe I was too quick to judge the prices. I was not. I got an…read moreiced chai tea for $9 and the tea itself tasted like plastic. They add on so many fees. I wish I could like this place and respect their prices. They are very honest on their instagram "home of the $9 latte". I find it a bit arrogant BUT maybe not my sense of humor and definitely not my coffee/tea preference. Mila coffee and estate coffee are too close by for me to come here again.

What ultimately caught my attention was the screen picture of the smoked chicken salad. HOWEVER, they were out of said chicken salad so I ended up getting the olive pesto sandwich which has ham, turkey, olive tapenade, basil pesto, jalapeno cream cheese, pickled peppers and swiss cheese all made on sourdough. I must say I was a little skeptical of the olives since I'm not a huge fan, but I'm glad I ordered. everything went well together and the olive tapenade was delicious. I also got a side order of their beef tallow fried house chips which I enjoyed. I love a good homemade potato chip. Will be back to try that smoked chicken salad, glad to know there's other good things on the menu.

There are others mainly business class or tourists but they stay at Hotel Emma and definitely have money, or their employer's corporate card. Then there are the real carb eating customers who are there to actually consume goods. I finally had a free weekday to go to Pullnam now two years after they opened and loved my experience. Parking in the Pullman market was easy. It really is $0 with validation and for up to 2 hours. I was looking for ground flax, they only had whole. Looking for cinnamon infused honey, they did not have. Just weird shit like lavender infused. I enjoyed the elevated feel of the place, very transporting and nicely curated with so many spaces in and out doors to sit and people watch or just hang out with friends. Ate at Fife and Faro for a simple pizza and pomodoro pasta.

The store itself is very cute with different sections, seating areas, food vendors to select from, and connects to actual restaurants. The mediocre review is for the "Burgers by the Butcher" place towards the end of the store. The Wagyu burger sounded really good and had good reviews, but it was really dry and not very flavorful. Usually Wagyu is known to be juicy and moist, but this tasted nothing like that caliber. It was disappointing but at least not very pricy. Fries were okay but pretty chopped up and not the style I prefer. Some of the other places looked promising like the ice cream and cafe. The poke/ceviche also sounded good on paper but when we walked by (maybe around 1.5-2 hours before closing), the quality of the raw fish didn't look too great and was a little discolored so we passed. The store itself was very cute and had lots of nice and unique products.

Rose Hip Market is the cutest coffee shop in the Olmos Park area!…read more I recently visited this coffee shop for a meeting and was pleasently surprised by it. The coffee shop has such a warm and inviting feeling that automatically makes you feel welcomed. Their drink and food menu is pretty basic from what you would expect from a coffee shop. They also have a few other items for sell like cook books, matcha sets, pre-made food, etc. The staff was five stars! They were so nice and welcoming. Frankly, I would go back just for the staff alone and that is not something I say often. They were just so nice and made me feel welcomed at their coffee shop. One last thing, they do have limited parking so keep that in mind when visiting. They are definitely no the best place for large groups, but if you just need a quite place to work or study on your own, I think they are perfect.
