Came over here to see what all the hype was all about got one of the donuts. It was hard as a hockey puck very disappointed.

Such an adorably terrifying spot we happened upon while there for a show at Wonder Theater. The staff was kind and helpful. We met the owner! Complimented their place. Coffee was strong and delicious. Raspberry pastry was delightful. Love the spooky vibe. If you're looking for a year round Halloween treat stop here for a drink and pastry! read more

I had been wanting to go since last year. Finally went and had me a pumpkin cupcake, I thought it was really good. The lady was nice and helpful. It was a cute shop. read more

To start off - the customer service was excellent. We got greeted by two different people, both asking how were and if we had any questions and to let them know when we were ready. We found that to be very welcoming and kind. The case was half empty, this was around noon. Not sure at what time they close because their Instagram just states they open at 11 with no closing time (not sure if that just means until they run out?) The prices tend to run the same for every single pastry from $6-$7 which I find to be unusual and not the best thing because as you can see at the bottom of the case- a small strawberry tart was $7 being the same price as a decent size turtle brownie or almost the same as a $6.50 strawberry scream (donut strawberry whipped pastry) just does not correlate. To have not prices that variate in the sizes of the pastries is a bad sign to me. It felt like the prices were high just because of the "name". The pastries were alright nothing amazing. We got 4 of them, one of them isn't pictured. We got the Strawberry Scream, a Hazelnut Crossaint, Turtle Brownie, and Rasberry Tart. The only thing me and my boyfriend liked to the point of finishing and worth the price in our opinion was the Strawberry Scream and the Turtle Brownie. The Grim Bakers came to be a brick and mortar store after winning a Halloween Baking Competition on The Food Network which is actually how I started following them. I followed them throughout the process of opening the store and I was so excited! But sadly I was a tad disappointed from the prices to the pastries. read more

I was really looking forward to trying this place, especially since the owner appeared on Halloween Baking Championship, but I left disappointed. I tried two different treats and neither had much flavor. It feels like the focus is more on aesthetics and presentation than on the actual quality or taste of the desserts. I also looked online to see if others had a similar experience, but I could barely find reviews anywhere besides Yelp. I found it odd that they don't seem to have business pages on other platforms where customers can leave a review. It gives the impression that they may not want too much public criticism of the business. read more

Love to go grab delicious horror treats. They look awesome, but most importantly they taste AMAZING!! My granddaughter's are not fans of horror movies but love Manny's creations. We would go to Wonderland mall when there was events and we knew they would be set up with his yummy treats but now that he's opened a store, that just makes it 1000% better! read more

thought we try a new place Grim suits them just fine. The brownie was cold and hard. The Cappuccino took 15 minutes to get despite the barista was texting on her phone the whole time. Not inviting at all. will not return oh and the baker was filling up the jelly donuts without gloves. Grim Bakers no good!! read more

My wife and I stopped in to pick up some horror themed goodies to take to our son and his wife on New Year's Day. We got to meet Manny while we were there. The place is in the food court area of Wonderland of the Americas Mall. They didn't have a huge selection because of the holiday rush, but what they did have was great. We bought one of the lovers cookies. I really liked the design. We also bought some cupcakes and a lemon bar. We only got to try the cupcakes. We each had half of a vanilla one and a chocolate one. They were both very good. I can't wait to go back and try some more things in the near future. I love the novelty of the horror theme. read more

This little GEM is hidden and tucked away in wonderland mall. I had heard many great things via social media and word of mouth, so it was just a matter of time until I tried it. The location is great, it's easy to access and in the food court there's plenty of seating to devour your sweet treats if you cannot wait to get home. Now the service when ordering is super easy, people complain about the wait, but fail to realize it's only so many people working who are baking making coffee and taking orders, so WAIT people, give them a minute. The staff are really nice and are always more than willing to explain the treats! I've even talked to the owner who was on the holiday baking championship! Really nice people. Now, the pastries are on another level, you can taste the difference from here between mass created knock offs from chain bakeries. I've tried a handful of cupcakes, a particular favorite of mine is the strawberry crunch, it's a strawberry cake lovers dream! I've heard the coffee is not bad, it's nothing super special but hey, neither is Starbucks, besides the label. So give it a shot, support local and try many of their different items. If you're complaining about prices, go to a grocery store get box mix and make your own. read more

Finally had a chance to try The Grim Bakers and my partner and I were super happy with everything we tried today. Not only did everything look great they tasted amazing! Everything looked and tasted luxe. Came on a Thursday at 3pm and there was a good assortment of treats available and the cashier was nice and also got lucky to see the man himself. It was a good first visit and look forward to the next one read more

As a lover of all things spooky, I had been looking forward to trying this place since it opened and finally had the chance to go. I was happy to support a fellow San Antonian's passion project. This bakery is in the food court at Mall of the Americas between Vicious Eats burgers and Spaceballs. Just seeing all their creative items was a feast for eyes! I loved the spooky touches to all the sweets, like skulls on top of their tarts or a Ghostface on an orange ice cream waffle cone. I bought a rice crispy chocolate Ouija board, turtle brownie and strawberry tart. The chef's kiss was that the planchette on the rice krispy treat was a separate chocolate piece. There were consistent long lines but they replenished their goodies at a great pace I thought. However, don't be surprised if you go and they are largely sold out, due to their popularity. Definitely check this place out for a spooky treat any time of the year. read more

Love this place! Grim Bakers offers cozy gothic charm, horror decor, deliciously spooky treats & frightening good coffee! The customer service is beyond expectations! Staff is so friendly and very warming. It's definitely worth the 4-5 hour drive to visit here.

Awesome treats, I love this place. Everything they sell is wonderful.I've never had a bad experience.It's worth waiting for and worth any travel. read more

I did not go in person so I can't comment on their service but only on their desserts. First the macarons.. my daughter loves macarons and she said they tasted like food coloring and they were super tiny for being $3 each. Secondly the cupcake was a good size and it did have filling so I guess that can account for the price point but the cake was just a tad dry the icing was whipped cream which I guess was ok and it had a strawberry on top which was also ok. There was an item that I thought was a croissant with whipped cream and strawberry filling but when I got it in person it was donut..I've never had a donut sandwich and I guess it was fine just wasn't expecting it to be a donut which made it way more sweet of a dessert than I hoped for. Not sure I will try them again. I feel like the theme is what's cool about them. read more

This little shop of Horror pastries was a pretty cool stop to visit, unique and I'm pretty sure I could say more, if we had maybe gotten there a little earlier , when they had all of their show cases full of all their goodies, but from what we got to pick from ,the desserts were pretty tasty , definitely will revisit when In the area ,a must try is their fruit tart , super delicious as well as their macarons, super delicious, give it a try , this location is in the Wonderland of the Americas Mall in San Antonio read more

Awesome service but long line and sold out products. We went on a busy day and got a vanilla cone. Boo tart and a cold brew. Do not buy your toddler the ice cream, it stains your clothes, your mouth and hands. The stains did come out but we looked a mess the rest of the day. My husband is a coffee snob and did not like the cold brew. Spent a lot of money for the experience but only thing worth is here is the pastries read more

Very disappointed. Instagram showed this bakery to me and I was excited about the theme and everything looked so good. Got there on a Sunday right when they opened and they didn't have anything. A few brownies and cupcakes. I got a strawberry shortcake cupcake and a their triple chocolate ice cream soft serve. The cupcake was not a strawberry shortcake, was just a dense white cake with white buttercream and a strawberry on top. The soft serve was very good but so over priced. It was 6$ for a small cup and I didn't get sprinkles because it was an EXTRA $4. So sad, I was looking forward to this all week read more

Waiting in line try to order some food. No one at the register five people in that kitchen waited for a total of almost 10 minutes people all over the place in the front of it so I went next-door to the place that sells the chocolate covered fudge truffles, the space balls got served right away. Why are there so many people in your kitchen and no one's manning the register it's ridiculous even at HTO and a small bakeries. There's someone there. read more

Black frosting is too messy, super sweet, and stains/gets everywhere. High prices for what you get. Like to support small businesses, but get a negative vibe from this place. Would rather support a place that's managed well and functions efficiently. read more

Was excited to come here for the theme. However was disappointed and it was totally overpriced. They gave us the one cupcake that was messed up. The icing was HORRIBLE like from the dollar store horrible. The cookie was dry and hard. The gingerbread cupcake sprinkles almost broke my teeth. Insane price for low quality desserts. I also got the lemon bar and it was crunchy like it had ingredients not mixed and it didn't taste like lemon at ALL! For the price we pay I believe they could serve much better quality items. read more

Oh gosh. Hey listen, I didn't get a chance to take a pic of our goodies. We ate them too fast! My daughter and I went on a Saturday afternoon and they were still pretty well stocked. She was looking for the black heart cookie, "the lovers" to gift to her friend for her birthday. Upon arriving, we were glad to see that there were plenty in the case. I don't know what that one tasted like, but while I was there, I couldn't resist a "death by chocolate" cupcake. It was SO decadent but not overly sweet. It was perfect. I got the last one, otherwise I would have gone back for another. The employees and super friendly and welcoming. There was a bit of a line but they did great in getting everyone organized and out quickly. I will definitely return. Follow their instagram to see what amazing goodies they are constantly coming up with. I guarantee you will be impressed!! read more

Items were gross and had no flavor. Ice cream was $16 dollars for basic ice cream with food dye. Took forever to even get the ice cream. Located inside it a food court not much ambiance there. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! read more

This was the most over priced mid bakery I've ever been at in my life. Why was one ice cream cone SIXTEEN FUCKING DOLLARS?! SIXTEEN DOLLARS?!? As in $10 PLUS AN ADDITIONAL 6 dollars. For literally regular ice cream with food dye. And a giant chocolate mold that fell on the floor and made a mess everywhere within 2 minutes. So incredibly disappointed in this place. I love supporting small businesses and it makes me so sad when they aren't up to par. Customer service was also terrible, we weren't acknowledged, then we waited like 10 minutes for the ice cream cone to be made while the staff was giggling and laughing with each other. We also got the scream something? And a strawberry tart. The tart was good, not worth $8, and then the strawberry scream sandwich thing who was also $8 was disgusting. The bread was dry and dense and just nasty. I really tried to like it and it just sucked. Place also felt like it could've been cleaner, it was kinda was grimey and sticky everywhere. read more

The most expensive small coffee for literally just A CUP OF HOT MILK AND BROWN SUGAR 5$.

10/10 recommend! The service was amazing and they're super personable. The cake came out exactly how I pictured it it was perfect! (I left it out instead of refrigerating, so it leaned a little in my pics, totally my fault ). They were also really quick to reply when I messaged on Facebook, which I appreciated a lot. And the cupcakes I grabbed when I picked up my cake? SO good! If you're on the fence about ordering, don't hesitate just do it, you'll be so glad you did! read more

I haven't been on yelp in months but I had to jump back on for this rating. Because this was my first visit and I was back on my way home to Houston I played it safe and only ordered three items; two strawberry crunch cupcakes and one chocolate Bloody Mary cupcake. Half way home I opened the box and begin to dig in and hands down those were some on the best cupcakes I've ever had in my entire life. From the icing down to the moistness of the cupcakes I could have eaten a half dozen. I will definitely return and order more items. read more

I've been trying to get here for a long while. I've heard mixed things from people but I was looking forward to forming my own opinion. I was not disappointed. We had the strawberries and scream, the BOOberry tart, the linzer cookie, and a brownie. I haven't had an actual good linzer cookie in SO LONG and this one really hit the spot. Delicious. Everything was fantastic. Looking forward to coming back. read more

customer service was good got the espresso brownie the brownie was not fresh it was hard, the brownie itself smelled and tasted like box mix, frosting as well and the only espresso part was this small dot of i think espresso buttercream but it just tasted like butter not enough flavoring for $7 definitely not going back went next door to try space balls because my mom went there got a sample and she said the sample was great and it was! bought a four pack for $15 and you can tell it was homemade and not store bought. really disappointed i saw this bakery and made me think about NY where I'm from and I thought this was going to be a great place from what I saw on TikTok and stuff but yeah nothing like it the quality was bad it's just a cool gimmick. read more

I am a horror fan, I expect to see horror bakery items. There were barely any. Unless you count the toppers. The lovers shortbread cookie that was $7 was tasteless. The strawberry crunch cupcake was good but nothing horror design about it. I have to say I was disappointed. read more

The customer service is extremely lacking and the food was mediocre. Would not recommend.

Please don't waste your time or money coming here. I drove across town for the horror themed bakery and was met with plain, basic bakery items. Since we drove across town I decided to order something anyway only to be greeted with the rudest person ever. She was short and seemed annoyed. They forgot to make my coffee (which was mediocre) then just placed it on the counter without telling me it was ready. I'm so upset I wasted my money and time. read more

We saw their IG and were so excited to stop by. We wanted to buy a little bit of everything but on both occasions, the menu was limited. The location is in a dying mall so just be mindful of that and when we found the place, they only had slices of cake (which tasted good btw) and some m&m brownies for sale, but definitely nothing like their IG so maybe call ahead of time to see what they're selling that day before you make the drive and walk around the mall to find it (it's downstairs). Customer service was average, make sure to specifically ask for a coloring book for your kids otherwise they won't offer or bring it up. I noticed other people tried to bring up the lack of items on their social media but they delete comments including mine but it's only fair people like myself who go out of our way to their location have a heads up. Overall, just call beforehand so you don't waste time and gas read more

This is the second time that I have been to this place. The first time I ordered an iced coffee it was the worst coffee I have ever had. It was tasteless and watered down. I went today. I ordered a iced latte with whole milk and white chocolate flavor.. I don't know what it is about this place. They just don't know how to make iced coffee.. went through the first time and thought maybe it was just my taste so I gave it a second shot this time I ordered a what I believe they call a crons. A fried croissant season like a doughnut.. it is the worst. It's cold. It's stale hard to chew like if it's been there for days. I will not be coming back here this please try to get you with decorations and fancy desserts. It is not worth the money now I see why it's in the mall that it's in other than another place. Do not come here. It is not worth it and the guy behind the counter. He had glasses with shoulder length black hair. He was very rude and I think he got mad that I didn't order the highest dessert instead the cheapest one he didn't throw my straw at me, but when it fell to the side, he didn't pick it up. He was very rude Not only because of the straw situation because I'm guessing I didn't buy the highest price dessert.. very disappointed and very dissatisfied. Definitely will not return. I advise you not to either. read more

I do not like giving bad reviews, however, I took my client there this morning and could not wait for their great croissants which were not ready; I told the girl that if I was still there when they were ready that I wanted one. I thought they were going to be the same croissants like the last time, plain and buttery. What does she charge me for? Two burnt chocolate croissants, even after I complained, her nonchalant attitude left a lot to be desired; she did not even offer a substitute or my money back; she just kept smiling as if I were talking to the wall. If she had shown me the croissant she had hurriedly placed in the box from the get go; I would have immediately told her I don't like chocolate. My only regret is not asking for the Manager or owner. They just lost a good paying customer. I also told my client not to feel guilty if she threw hers away. read more
