    Retail area
    Alma V.

    Recommend: Maybe I really enjoyed checking out The Newstand. The location is great, though parking was a little tricky to figure out. Inside, the space is on the smaller side, but the high ceilings and huge windows make it feel open and spacious. There's also a long bench facing outside, but with current construction going on, outdoor seating isn't really an option right now. The shop is clean, bright, and thoughtfully designed. In the back, there's a small retail area with an assortment of knickknacks, clothing pieces, and books, which adds a nice, unique touch. They offer coffee, matcha, breakfast and lunch options, and even a happy hour. Service was very quick and staff were friendly. I ordered the Tang Ten with Texas tangerine syrup, Kyoto matcha, and vanilla cold foam, and it was--perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness for me. Overall, it's a charming spot with good vibes and solid drink options. I'd definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area.

    I had never heard of The Newstand until a friend of mine suggested we eat there for brunch. When I first looked at the menu, I was a bit taken aback by the high prices. This menu read like an Austin menu! The place looked cute but it's still San Antonio, I thought... Still, I decided to bite the bullet and ordered a breakfast toast. I didn't know what to expect, but it wasn't what I was served... I got a plate with TWO toasts (what!) and they were generously topped with fruit and caramel on gluten free bread. I'm not celiac but I can still appreciate that the bread was pretty good, especially for being gluten free. The portion was so generous that I couldn't eat it all. I also ordered a brownie and it turned out to be MASSIVE. Also delicious. The coffee was good. So what can I say other than it was worth it!

    Chopped salad- plenty to share
    Susan M.

    The chopped salad is craveable and shareable. A big bowl of little gem lettuce, cheddar ranch, soft boiled eggs, bacon, tomato, onion, and blue cheese. Cant wait to go back.

    Tang Ten Matcha

    This place is a little hidden but so glad we decided to come here for our girls coffee. I love that they validate parking, what a great way to support people coming to the space. I got the lox bagel, it was amazing! It was such a big portion, my friend and I split it. I also got the tang ten matcha & it was delicious! Tasted like a creamsicle on top and then was less sweet in the best way. I'll be back! I like the vintage thrift option as a cute side quest. I will say that seating was limited, it was full when we got there and we were a group of 3, so the only options for us to sit and talk was the couch or the bar which made it hard to talk. Maybe it's a more study or work environment.

    I'm not gunna lie, I thought I was going to be getting a smaller or more bodega style breakfast sandwich. It was too big for just one person. Def would be served better as a half sandwich with fruit or something. Still was good though. Coffee is probably better ordered to-go. Sometimes I feel like you get more coffee that way. The vibes are fun here but very much a more boujie NY newsstand vibe, which means a little on the pricier side.

    Delicious surprise! I need to meet my attorney in this building and I came across a new stand and homemade bread, delicious sandwiches, tea and coffees. I have lots of help getting low carb options even though I did eat some bread ...a sandwich I couldn't resist.. the place is funky cool with plenty to read and there's a little back room as well. It's a must try if you are downtown. Service is excellent!

    Enormous Cinnamon Roll
    Jodi E.

    After yet another episode of Elder Eats, we saw this establishment mentioned on the show and they featured an egg salad sandwich that made my mouth water! My mom used to make us egg salad sandwiches but she's passed 2003 and I haven't had one since. Mainly because places put so many different things in their egg salad and I'm kinda finicky on how I like mine. After seeing their version, I HAD to try it ASAP. We decided to make the trek downtown (actually on the edge of downtown) off Broadway that same day. There is a lot of construction in the area and not a lot of parking so beware, but if you are lucky to find a spot, run don't walk to the Newstand and definitely order their Egg Salad sandwich and have it with a side of their ENORMOUS cinnamon roll! The establishment is extremely small and seating is very limited, but it's also a great option to place an order and go have a picnic elsewhere. The food is amazing, the sandwiches are huge and overly stuffed and the EGG SALAD SANDWICH brought me back to my mom which was the icing on the top! Sadly their egg salad was better in a diff way than moms, but both equally craveworthy! The cinnamon roll was also enormous and had the perfect ratio of filling to icing but is definitely a shareable item for 4! Enjoy

    Coffee and yogurt bowl
    Jennifer D.

    The Newstand gave me a New York vibe. Cozy, high ceiling and every part of the location utilizes. The coffee was outstanding. I ordered a large, and it was huge! Prices are a tad higher than other places, but definitely worth it for quality and taste. My husband was impressed with the breakfast sandwich, he complimented the chef as we were leaving. I loved the Greek yogurt bowl. The yogurt was topped with fruit and honey.

    miso lattes and matcha
    Amanda L.

    I was throughly surprised at how much I liked this place. The prices are on the higher side but the quality is pretty solid. I got the french dip sandwich as well which had great flavor. I wish the bread held up a bit better because the bottom was very soggy. I also think it should be on a bigger plate. It's a very very messy meal. I also got the miso latte and the matcha. I wasn't impressed with the matcha but the miso was good even though it didn't have much miso flavor (so a little gimmicky). They also charge for special milk (latte is already 8-9 bucks) which is kind of insane pricing wise because they don't list the price on the menu for alterations. They don't offer the coffee hot so if you want it hot maybe ask. Service is very nice, they do get VERY busy. We were lucky to get some seats next to outlets because there's not a lot of seats that have outlets and the seats are not comfortable.

    Delicious Protein Bowl
    Katie N.

    I finally go to try this place! It's street parking, so you have to get lucky or park a street or two over, which is no big deal. There is also a parking garage on the backside where the first 30 min are free. The building has the tallest ceilings and a ton of natural light. It was crowded and the doors were constantly moving with all the business they got. I had a black cold brew, which was fantastic! I ordered a sticky bun, which was large and gooey and warm- seriously it was the best sticky bun I have ever had! I should've bought more! I had the Delicious Protein bowl, which was delicious with the right amount of flavor and spice! I was very happy with it and would eat it again. Don't wait like I did to try this place! Serious coffee, and serious food. The sandwiches I saw people order looked phenomenal!

    Andrea B.

    Great drinks and food! The bagel with salmon and morning yogurt were both delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Their drinks are fun and creative, and you can tell they put real thought into the menu. The inside is pretty small with limited seating, so you might have to wait a bit for a table, but it's totally worth it. Bonus points for validated parking in the attached garage -- super convenient, especially for this area. Such a cute spot for coffee or brunch. Been here a couple of times, and will definitely be back for more!

    Josh at The New Stand made our visit absolutely perfect. From the moment we walked in, he greeted us with a friendly demeanor and outstanding customer service. He explained the menu perfectly and gave us some recommendations that turned out to be spot-on. I loved the avocado toast and my sister loved her pimento bacon egg sandwich, and our coffee orders were perfect as well. Everything was delicious, and you can tell there's real care put into both the food and the service. What really stood out was how Josh went above and beyond and we were leaving, he even handed me a cookie after hearing it was my birthday. That thoughtful gesture made the experience even more special. We'll definitely be coming back. If you stop by, hope you get Josh he truly makes the experience super positive

    Since the building is being renovated it was hard to find, not going to lie. The inside is cute but small. The staff were great, they helped and explained everything. The cinnamon roll was very tasty and large portion. The coffee was really good I had the "paper route" I had some of my friends avocado toast, it was really good.

    For a nine dollar iced latte I would assume it would taste better than burnt gas station coffee with three ice cubes that melt immediately.

Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing, which is why I'm giving 3 stars. I ordered the veal Schnitzel with mushroom gravy (Jägerschnitzel) and red cabbage. The gravy had a strange gelatin-like consistency and lacked the rich flavor you'd expect from a proper Jäger sauce. The veal was extremely chewy and honestly made me feel ill afterward. The red cabbage was also very undercooked and completely lacked flavor. Overall, I personally did not find the food authentic or representative of true German cooking. What truly saved this experience was the outstanding customer service. Our server, Joseph, was attentive, professional, and genuinely kind throughout the meal. I also greatly appreciated Mr. Adam, the kitchen manager, who personally came out to discuss my concerns. He handled the constructive criticism with professionalism and openness, and I truly respected the fact that he listened carefully and considered my feedback regarding the sauce. Although I wouldn't personally return for the food, Joseph and Mr. Adam turned what could have been a terrible experience into one where I still felt valued as a customer. Their professionalism absolutely deserves recognition.
