    Apple butter latte

    We stopped by for a sweet treat and a coffee both were amazing! Serves was great too. Love the attention to detail

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    Storefront is SO CUTE!

    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. If you move all things spooky, sweet treads and amazing coffee, I would definitely recommend stopping by!

    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

    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.

    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

    Strawberry shortcake cupcake and triple chocolate soft serve ice cream
    Melanie G.

    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

    Death by chocolate, whoville cookie, blood velvet.

    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.

    I ordered four dozen cupcakes from Buttercream Bakery for a work event, and they were absolutely…read moreincredible! We chose vanilla, strawberry, red velvet, and confetti, decorated with edible glitter and pearls. They looked beautiful and tasted even better. When I needed to change my pickup time, the staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. Because I picked up the cupcakes the day before the event, they carefully wrapped them to preserve their freshness and gave me clear instructions for storing them overnight. The cupcakes were a ginormous hit! Everyone raved about how delicious they were, and several people asked where I had purchased them and how to find the bakery. I was told that their baked goods are made from scratch, and you can certainly tell from the wonderful taste and texture. I highly recommend Buttercream Bakery and will definitely order from them again!

    I ordered a red velvet graduation cake from Buttercream Bakery in San Antonio for my nephew's…read moregraduation celebration. The cake was beautifully decorated and looked exactly like something you'd be excited to serve at a special event. Unfortunately, the taste was a completely different story. When the cake was cut, the red velvet layers appeared discolored and uneven in color, with some sections looking dull and brownish rather than the rich red color you would expect. The cake itself had an off flavor that was difficult to ignore, lacking the classic mild cocoa and tangy notes of red velvet. It was not velvety at all. It tasted OVERLY salty and left an unpleasant aftertaste. The frosting looked fine and had a smooth texture, but it was also noticeably salty and did not have the creamy, slightly tangy flavor typically associated with cream cheese frosting. Multiple guests commented on the SALTY flavor, and several people did not finish their slices. One thing I've always appreciated about Gordon Ramsay's approach to food is his reminder that presentation means very little if the food doesn't taste good. A chef or baker should taste what they're serving. A beautiful cake can impress people for a moment, but flavor is what people remember. Graduation is a once-in-a-lifetime milestone, and I was disappointed that the cake became a topic of conversation for the wrong reasons. The appearance was excellent, but the taste did not meet expectations. I hope Buttercream Bakery takes this feedback seriously and places as much emphasis on flavor as they do on presentation. I paid over $200 for this cake. They offered me an e-gift card of $100. I don't live in San Antonio. I could give it away to my family here, but I made the payment!

French vanilla frosting with vanilla cake, you would think it would be just so plain.. but their cake and frosting is exceptional! Never change the recipe and never go out of business.

I called to order a plain white vanilla…read morebuttercream smooth cake because I was going to add images to the side of cake, with a royal blue shell boarder on the top for my nephews' birthday because I was out of town and coming in and would not have enough time to bake him his birthday cake myself. I requested specific things because i already had in mind exactly how I wanted to have his cake. I received a cake that looks like my nephew could have made it himself. Thank God I was able to get back into town earlier then I planned and was a least able to fix this horrible cake to at least look as best as I could because let's just say the flavor was not good at all for the buttercream that seem like they just added a bunch of sugar to it because you could feel the sugar particles, or the bread itself was very dry and hard. If I could give this review zero likes I would, and I understand that not everyone is able to do the same things, but they should have been honest and said that they would not be able to complete my request... And while trying to remove the awful buttercream cake was just crumbling apart. I am very disappointed.

    This is a cute little shop in a little strip of other random places -- I'm not native to San…read moreAntonio and am unfamiliar with the area. They have new treats every week based on popularity or season/holidays or whatever is just being made that week. I got the game day cookie for Super Bowl which was filled with a bunch of random stuff like chocolate chips and butterfinger and pretzels and potato chips and m&ms and then a vanilla bean scone. It totaled $10, pretty typical for gluten free (more expensive side). I had the scone that day, it has slight crunch on the outside and fluffy on the inside and wasn't too sweet. It was huge and I greatly enjoyed it and isn't something I could replicate on my own. The cookie I was hesitant to get at first because I can make my own cookies but this was unique and the other items didn't pique my interest as much. I had this the next day and split it with my family. Warmed it up and definitely better warmed up - gooey on the inside, cooked well on the outside, nice combo of flavors although the sweet definitely overpowered any saltiness. Family liked it! You order and pay and then you're on your way. No room to sit.

    I dropped by today as part of my visit to San Antonio…read more Sprinkles and spoons is a must! The almond croissant cookie was a nice little treat that I enjoyed. But honestly the real gem is the biscuit. I am writing this review about 12 hrs after purchasing these treats. While I eat "just one more nibble" of the biscuit (at 10:30pm). It is dense as a biscuit should be, however it almost feels like a pound cake with a decadent crust. The texture is amazing. The flavor is amazing. This is just all around a wonderful treat. Please also note. Sprinkles and spoons does not serve coffee. So, plan on bringing your own or take your cookie to the park and get a lemonade like I did.
