We were greeted by the same friendly employee when I visited the prior week, and she gave us each a stamp punch card - after so many you get a freebie coffee. FYI they also serve smoothies, not posted yet, and they can make them dairy free! My friend and I shared a Rueben sandwich and chicken salad croissant. Great flavors, but for me the Rueben shined! Lots of flavor. $1 more. My decaf latte with oat milk ($2 extra) and sugar free Belgian cookie syrup was nice. The price for the oat milk was steep, I don't think I've ever paid that much extra. I may skip it next time and go for the caffeine free teas. I ordered a hippie bar and honey glazed pecans to go. I really enjoyed the hippie bar- peanut butter, gluten free oats, chia, seeds, and dried cranberries. Lots of seating inside. There's a conference room- free of charge for ministry meetings and a mic area up front. The owner stopped by our table and greeted us, I just love supporting this local fam owned business. Oh and when we visited the women's restroom... I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful sky ceiling and bird sounds. So soothing and relaxing... I felt like I was transported to a gorgeous serene garden. Big smile on my face!

It's cheap - it would be nice if they boxed everything and didn't use the foam plates and Saran wrap. It would also be nice if they offered things with organic ingredients. I'm sure I'll get push back on that, but just being honest.

Old school German looking bakery that relies heavily on pecans from the area. I bought an…read moreassortment of cookies that all had pecans in them. Chocolate Chip, sugar cookies, white chocolate macadamia (I guess it was white chocolate pecan in retrospect) all had pecans. The cookies were all pretty good but on the harder side. We also got a few pastries. I got a cream cheese Danish, it was tasty but the bread was a little stale. I expect a bakery to sell more fresh items. They also had pies and bread for sale, but I didn't partake in those items. The bakery decent but I wouldn't make a special trip for it. I also wouldn't recommend if you have a nut allergy!

I walked in to a tiny but cute little bakery. We went early morning, the case was full of gorgeous…read morepastries. My husband and I chose 2 goodies each. He got the cream cheese strawberry pastry and pineapple upside down mini cake. I chose a simple chocolate chip cookie and a chocolate croissant. I love how these pastries are not too sweet. I asked the employee to choose one for me. She decided on the strawberry filled pop tart which I probably wouldn't have chosen myself. But i'm sure glad she did! The pastry was flaky and soft, the strawberry filling was not overly sweet. The pop tart was so good overall! I will definitely be coming back on my next cheat day.

This shop is cute, definitely has the small town feels. The lady at the counter was sweet and…read morehelpful. The desserts look amazing but unfortunately looked a bit better than they tasted. I feel as though the treats could've used more time into the flavor and texture than the aesthetics. I'd rather have a better tasting croissant than one with gold sprinkled on it, just not necessary. It also doesn't justify charging $46 for 6 little treats that are not fresh. Outrageous especially when your competitors charge more than half that price for a dozen treats and they taste better. It also wouldn't be so upsetting if prices were posted anywhere in the shop so I should know to taste one first to see if it was worth it. Overall I'd say drive down the street to the next bakery. Unless you like spending a lot on something average. Overall this place does have potential and I'd like to see it improve for a possible future visit. The best thing I tried was the cookie and that's the easiest thing to make.

The staff behind the counter was very patient with my large order and answering all my questions. I chose a GF coffee cake, chocolate cake slice, some cookies, and a few scones. I appreciated the GF options. I only kept the scones for myself to munch on during the day and they were delicious. They had many flavor choices, birthday funfetti, maple cinnamon, etc. and were good sized. I was the only person there when I visited during the week. I imagine they're busier on the weekends. I would definitely stop by again for a pastry, a coffee, and a little shopping!

In Castroville, one of the places I visit most has to be Magnolia Filling Station, the only true…read morecoffee shop in town. It's small, always busy, and always slinging quality coffee. The shop is made from an old gas station that was converted into a cafe. They serve pastries along with a wide range of coffee beverages. I always find myself drawn to their seasonal drinks, which are usually themed around something fun. This year's holiday menu was Ice Age themed, but I remember last year being Shrek themed, and I think there was even a Top Gun themed menu at some point over the summer. For the Ice Age menu, I got a Manny which was a Chocolate Orange Mocha drink. I got it hot and it was great! The space inside is quiet, nice, and well lit. It's a great place to get work done. In the past, I've noticed the wifi could be tragically slow, which made some tasks difficult. During my most recent visit, though, I don't recall the wifi being slow at all, so it seems like that issue has been fixed. There is also plenty of outdoor seating if you get lucky with one of the three nice weather days in San Antonio. I really like the coffee here. For such a small shop, they do a great job, and it has become an essential stop for me every time I am in Castroville. RIYL: Coffee shops that are old gas stations but do not have a functional gas pumps anymore, so you don't accidentally get gasoline instead of a latte. I hate when that happens!!
