Such a nice brunch spot in Brownsville! It was really spacious and clean inside. The outdoor patio…read moreoverlooking the waterfront was not open that day unfortunately but there were plenty of areas next to windows and natural light. The back room almost felt like an indoor patio. First off we started with the chocolate croissant. It was literally a chocolate explosion which is PERFECT! If my chocolate croissant isn't dripping with melted chocolate I don't want it! Next we ordered the chilaquiles and quiche. The quiche was more cheesy than egg-y so it almost felt like a pizza but it was still rich and creamy. The crispy golden potatoes on the side were delicious. The chilaquiles was good too, loved how tender the meat was. Our server was friendly and the food came out fast. Would definitely come back again hopefully when I can sit outside too!

My mom was eager to visit this artisanal bakery and there was a wide selection of breads to choose from. There were also pastries such as biscotti, cookies, and scones. Unlike a panaderia, the staff grabs the things you want, offers to slice them, and bags up your orders. Overall, very easy ordering system. Very clean inside, too. The breads themselves are nice. We used the sourdough for sandwiches and avocado toast and they yielded delicious results. We also snacked on slices of Challah. I was lukewarm on the chocolate chip cookie, and I did not like their croissant. It didn't have that nice, glossy, crispy outer shell, and also felt a little tough to bite through, so that's where the point deduction came in. Of course, with climbing costs of food these days, I wouldn't come here for all my bready needs, but an occasional loaf here and there will serve as a nice treat for a few days.

Maybe a few seconds in the micro would do the trick? Nope! It was still tough! I expected a lot more from a $5-ish roll. I will stick to their other breads which are super tasty.

My only complaint Is that the plaza only has one ramp access. This place looks small from the outside but once you walk in it opens up! They have a private part section that fits 80 ppl & a back room that doesn't require booking for 10ish ppl. The Chicken Chilaquiles were very delicious! This was my first time and definitely will be back. Paired with a pineapple mimosa & iced vanilla latte which was made to perfection.

3.5 stars, edging to 4…read more I always like to stop at bakeries and try new things when I travel, and this is probably one of the better bakeries you're going to find on South Padre Island. You can watch the bakers making the pastries and breads fresh through the glass window behind the counter, and everything we had was fresh, artisan, handmade, and tasty. Day-old banana bread -- very good, even a day old. Chocolate croissant -- not a ton of chocolate, more of your traditional size with just a little inside. Strawberry cream Danish -- very tasty and fresh. Cream puff -- super moist, with perfectly tender dough. Really good bite. Cinnamon roll -- very large, so don't underestimate the size. One note: the cream/icing on top was just too much -- too sweet and too heavy-handed. It would've been better served on the side to dip into, because the parts where we took off the cream off were really good. (We microwaved it for a minute once we got home.) Coffees -- a couple of solid coffees, nothing too crazy. One thing to flag: for five or six pastries and a couple of coffees, it ran us around $50. Pro tip: This isn't somewhere I'd take the kids. It's more of a spot for someone who wants a really good baked good and a coffee -- and be ready for the prices to add up faster than you'd think. Would recommend, and would return.

The rest of the experience was just OK... Cafe Karma is a coffee/breakfast/light lunch spot, serving coffee, teas, juices, soft drinks, and the like. Food consists of breakfast bakery (muffins, pastries) and cooked items, light snacks like quiche and croissants, and ice cream. We had lattes (per usual). Temp was great but the coffee itself was just OK, not the best. For food we had the turkey quiche and the omelette muffin. The quiche was bland, overcooked. The muffin was much better, and was definitely the better of the two selections. Staff were friendly, service was quick! With all the coffee shop options available in SPI, not sure we'd go back. Do not recommend IMHO...

We were here last week, 11/28/25. I wanted some hot coffee to take to the beach with me since it…read morewas a chilly morning. This review is really only based on the overall experience since the coffee was good: Pros: 1. My coffee order. Vanilla latte- strong and not too sweet. The cup makes a cute photo moment (pictured) 2. The baristas who took my order & made my coffee, they were nice given the circumstances (see below) Cons: 1. There was a family with (no exaggeration) 10+ children ordering before us and it was chaotic the second we walked in. The place was already packed, so it was overwhelming to say the least. I have no issues with children, as they were just being children. It was the lack of social awareness, control, & organization from the parents. Ice cream/coffee orders were being shouted in all directions, orders being changed multiple times, etc. It took so long for us to even order...and then an additional wait because they had ordered so much. I know it's not the establishment's fault, I'm just being honest about my experience. Maybe there should be a limit on how many people are able to crowd the front since it's a small space? I felt bad for the workers, they did a great job keeping it cool and professional. 2. There was a group of "Christian" men who seemed like they had a long meeting. They were having a very loud and racist brain rot induced discussion about their views on how diversity and inclusion are ruining this country. I've seen comments like that online and always assumed it was bots...was flabbergasted to actually hear it in person that was frustrating. Again, not the establishment's fault. But as a person of color myself, including the baristas, it was just very uncomfortable and wild to experience. It seemed like they felt too comfortable being that bold in there and that's suspicious to me. I literally chose this shop to avoid another notoriously racist coffee shop with a politically aggressive owner on the island! 3. The bathroom was gross. I can only give this place 2 stars only for the coffee and service. The workers all did a fantastic job, seriously give them a raise! However, we left overstimulated and extremely annoyed. Not sure if I'll ever be back. Hey, at least the coffee was good.
