    Grits super yum!
    Greg P.

    This place was really good. Wow. Nice location. Plenty of seating. Everyone is super nice. You might find yourself in a line getting in but they put menus out for you to browse while you're waiting and it actually goes kinda quick. And the food. For the chuck norris with scrambled eggs and American cheese(yes they allow substitutions). It came with potatoes and I also got a side of grits. The grits. Came swimming in butter. Which is how I like em. I doubted they got the salt right cause most places don't. These were perfect. Some of the best grits I've had and I grew up on them. No need to add anything. The potatoes were also really good. The sandwich itself was very nice. Next time I'll see if I can get it on a biscuit cause there will be next time. And good sweet tea. I'm glad I stopped here. It has been on my list to try for a minute. Today is Friday but I'm trying to talk some peeps into going back on Sunday lol see yall then!

    Basic biscuit sandwich minus bacon.

    We were on vacation in San Antonio and wanted some breakfast for takeout. The place was packed so we already knew he had picked a winner. There was plenty of room on the patio, but it was a bright and sunny day in San Antonio, so you know everyone was inside. The food was amazing, I haven't had a homemade southern style breakfast like this in many a year. Everyone loves their food. My burrito was outstanding, great flavors and of course I had to make it dirty with some outstanding gravy. Biscuits were flaky and moist, everything had a great hardiness to it that assured you wouldn't be going hungry. My picky kids loved the sausage. I really wish this restaurant was in Katy, but at least I'll have a breakfast to look forward to the next time I visit San Antonio. I'll be going again on the way back to Katy too.

    We stoped here this morning after a medical procedure and the food tasted amazing. I loved the purple haze coffee.

    Amazing coffee and food! Great service. Busy but the line moves fast.

    Super cute vibe. Great service. Delicious food and coffee. A bit busy but the line goes fast!

    This is definitely a treat kind of restaurant. It is very good. I like it. Their menu is simple, but big enough to have an option for everyone in your group. You order at the counter and then your food is brought up to you. I had the yolkster with salmon. You do get the option for your protein. It came with the best potatoes ever. I don't know what seasoning they used, but they were delicious. I originally was going use ketchup, but it didn't need it at all. The yolkster is an eggs Benedict. The portion size was big. I will say that the combination of the salmon and all the other ingredients made it a tad bit salty for me, but I still ate it. It was still delicious. For my drink I had a chai latte. It wasn't overly sweet. They do have a water station where you can also find to go boxes which makes it easier to take your food to go. The seating is first come first serve. parking is available on site, but shared with the other businesses. The staff was very welcoming. The noise level is low

    Probamos este lugar por primera vez vez y me pació muy rico. Mi plato venía con papas con chorizo, cebolla y chile verde dulce, 2 huevos. Realmente las papas sabrosas, el sabor a chorizo les dio un toque especial, los tamaños de los platos muy adecuados a mi parecer en las fotos de la paguina se ven pequeños tanto que pensé que no me llenaría pero cuando vino la verdad quedé súper atisfecha con la porción porque yo como un poco bastante, ordené un late grande. También tiene pan dulce, lo hornean ahí en el lugar, así que es reciente, el tamaño del lugar es regular no pequeño no grande pero se llena muchísimo la línea es grande o será porque era en sábado pero ve preparado para esperar por favor

    Place is a hidden but very nice. Food was freshly made and hot. There was a long line in the morning and it can get packed/crowded in the morning so come with plenty of time to wait to order, find a seat, and your food. Line is well organized and once you reach the register, you can order. The food took about five or so minutes to arrive at our table. Great portion of food that will most likely leave leftovers! Recommended!

    The Baked Bird (TBB) is, hands down, the best breakfast/brunch spot (and arguably one of the best restaurants in San Antonio). You can find it on a busy corner where Babcock and Huebner intersect. The person who designed the parking lot was probably smoking a spliff when they did so because it's just wonky, but that has nothing to do with TBB. Each time we go, Ryan (the manager), Jen (the owner), and their entire staff provide the most intentional, welcoming, and top-notch service. Their space has expanded- I'm sure as a direct response to how popular they are- so there's more seating and assigned tables to make life for the customers and staff easier. We took our adult twins to TBB to celebrate their birthday, and we've decided it will be our family's breakfast celebration spot for the foreseeable future. They have an on-site bakeshop (which you can peer into while you eat at a countertop by the window), churning out scratch-made scones, sweet rolls, and pop-tarts. Our daughter loved and adored their piña colada scone a while back, so she tried out the Earl Grey scone on this visit. The baker is a genius because they topped the tea-flavored scone with what I detected was a honey cream cheese frosting. The genius is creating a pastry that literally tasted like a cuppa Earl Grey tea. Our son and my husband opted for a cinnamon roll. The only thing that would've improved them was a little heat, as they were slightly colder than room temp. TBB has quippy names for each of its menu items, which make ordering a blast. We decided on: -The Dirty South: this dish is everything you'd want in a breakfast plate. The sausage gravy is velvety and full of flavor, and the potatoes are crispy on the outside with a fluffy interior. The biscuit and eggs (I chose scrambled) were fluffy and flavorful as well. -Notorious P.I.G.: my son kept raving about how this sandwich was done right: "Why don't people appreciate bacon AND sausage on a breakfast sammie?!?!" Spoken like a true 21-year-old with good cholesterol. -Pablo Eggscobar: The caramelized onion and chipotle aioli took our daughter's baconeggandcheesesangwich over the top. -Pancake Tray: This is what you want to order if you're a safe-bet maker. You get the best of breakfast ESPECIALLY because their pancakes are the best in the city, IDK, I said what I said! We each ordered a Sancha Horchata (I'm willing to get the shakes to have this injected into my veins), Purple Haze, Token Irishman, and a Train Wreck. ALL of this, with a generous tip, set us back ONLY $106. Well worth it since each of us needed to-go containers. Shout-out to the graphic artist who's done all the art at TBB. They definitely add to the chill atmosphere, so I want to big them up.

    Easy parking and plenty of it, you come in, get in line, order and find your table. They get busy but they have an amazing way on making everything flow. Staff are nice and the place is cute. There's illustrations everywhere. The food is awesome, I got a side pancake and it's the best that I have had in awhile. Perfectly buttery and crispy, the flavor omg... the dirty south was great too, and the breakfast burrito was my fave. The gravy holy moly, can't wait to come back. Also if you are a coffee drinker and you get their specialty, be warned it's mostly flavor but to coffee, it's still good but I needed a caffeine hit.

    We had a great experience at Baked Bird! The breakfast was delicious and everyone found something they loved. We ordered the El Chile Pollo, Baby Green (avocado toast meal), and the Dirty South...all were really good and full of flavor. Note, the El Chile Pollo would've tasted so great with a chicken filet vs ground chicken patty. The Train Wreck coffee was also a standout and definitely worth trying. We couldn't leave without dessert and tried the cinnamon roll and the peanut butter sandwich cookie. Both were the perfect sweet treat. The environment was super friendly and welcoming. My kids absolutely loved all the wall art and had fun looking at everything while we were there. It's a great spot for families and felt right at home.

    The moment you walk in, a sight of awesome colors and paintings!! Now to the food 10/10!!!! It's self order at front counter & service was good I got the Pancake Tray w/ bacon (so crispy & delicious) it only comes with one pancake so if you're expecting a stack, ask for more lol (Sancha Horcahata 100/100!!!) My friend ate the Birds nest (unfortunately not pictured) and she really loved it! Can't wait to be back & support a small local business btw love the pads/ tampons/ diapers for us in the restroom :,)

    Everything is delicious. That's honest Self serve ordering. They do bring you the food. Cute place. Kind of busy but good came out quick The biscuits and gravy on point. What a great place. Everyone is very nice. All the plates atr

    If you're looking for something healthy and light, this is not the place for you. But if you're looking for huge portions, decadent flavors, and a delicious hearty meal, you've come to the right place! Everything we had was so good but our favorite was definitely the pancakes. It had the perfect texture - slightly crispy on the inside and extra fluffy on the inside. We ordered the drinks too but they were way too sweet. There was a line to the door when we went but the service was fast and friendly. Can't wait to come back and try all the other things on their menu

I loved the matcha. The rosemary and lavender syrup is lovely with the perfect balance of herbal and sweet. The matcha is nice and creamy but not overly sweet. The coffee is pretty solid, not as sweet as some other places which is nice. It's not overly watery either. The lemon curd pastry was fantastic; nice sugary crisp and super flakey and buttery. The lemon curd itself is a smidge overwhelming in tartness but still delicious overall. The cinnamon croissant was my least favorite because it was a bit dry inside. I think they would also benefit from having prices next to the pastries. Service was great still! We went at 8:30 on a Saturday and there was a decent amount of people but we didn't have to wait super long. I was really impressed with the matcha and it's definitely up there in the SATX matcha scene.

My last experience with this one on the other hand was very pleasant. The baristas were super friendly and swift with our order, the cafe itself was clean despite a decent sized crowd, and our order was pretty satisfying. We ordered a Matcha Moon Latte with Lavender, another Matcha Moon Latte with Hazelnut, a Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin, and a Mixed Berry Poptart. Our Matcha Moons were both pretty good; while the lavender was rather subtle and melded well with the moon milk, the hazelnut was in fact a little heavy in flavor. The Poptart was very sweet and yummy, though I admittedly didn't eat all of the crust, and the Muffin was an equal blend of chocolate and banana, rich and moist, and was absolutely delicious overall. If I'm ever in the mood for Summer Moon I will most definitely go out of my way to visit this location. This trip definitely changed my view of Summer Moon in its favor!

I FINALLY made the trip in and it was a mixed bag. The interior of this place is super sleek and has two registers: one for coffee, the other for CBD products. The baristas were chill, there's ample room for study groups, and with the quiet atmosphere I think it'd be a great place to focus and get work done. I ordered the Honey Lavender Matcha with Almond Milk, and I can't say I was all that impressed. The matcha was muddied by the other flavors, but even those flavors were indiscernible. I ended up taking off the lid to inspect the drink and sure enough, you could tell by the color of the drink as well that there wasn't enough matcha. There was barely any Lavender flavor, and there was only a hint of Honey at best. Truly it tasted like warm almond milk with a subtle hint of a weird mix of muddled flavors. At least the sweetness of the Honey cut any potential bitterness and it wasn't too grassy? Even if this drink wasn't a hit, this place is too cool for me to just write off. I'd like to return to see about another menu item and hopefully stay for a while longer next time. For now, I'll give Archie's 3 Stars for the drink and 5 Stars for service and establishment.
