    Avocado Toast
    Stephanie K.

    On JOSEPHINE in the UIW neighborhood, specializing in CAFFEINATED & BREADY things, THE VIBE is young, trendy, cool. Inside fills up quickly on the weekend, but outdoors is free like fresh air (due to the heat?!). SANTIAGO & KHASHIANA are what I wish I was like (when I was their age), but at least they let me hang here. Also noteworthy for tasty & grammable PROUD MARY COFFEE, POPPI & SPECIAL MATCHA drinks (here or to-go). A Premium ("CURIOUS") YELLOW HONEY CAPPUCCINO from Costa Rica (my notes): Roasted cereal & milk chocolate, smooth finish. The kitchen was lacking some menu ingredients and 2 orders later, landed on some AVO TOAST - Toasty, crusty bread with a generous portion of avocado & tomato, topped with high-quality EVOO & sprouts. Simple, fresh, BYO sea salt. Good, could be better, have had best.

    The prices here are pretty steep at $9 for one of their regular size specialty coffees and $16 for their lox bagel sandwiche. Both were delicious, but on the price alone, I feel like I could get similar quality elsewhere. The service here was typical. Nothing special but not bad either. The shop is cute with plants and nice lighting. It's a nice place to come have a conversation with a friend or even a coffee date. Their pastries looked delicious. I haven't decided if I'd come back here or not. I liked what I got, but didn't truly feel like the it justified the cost.

    I tried them again, wondering if maybe I was too quick to judge the prices. I was not. I got an iced chai tea for $9 and the tea itself tasted like plastic. They add on so many fees. I wish I could like this place and respect their prices. They are very honest on their instagram "home of the $9 latte". I find it a bit arrogant BUT maybe not my sense of humor and definitely not my coffee/tea preference. Mila coffee and estate coffee are too close by for me to come here again.

    Tang Ten Matcha
    Taira H.

    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.

    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.

    Finally made my first visit to The Newstand after wanting to check it out for awhile, and it definitely lived up to the vibe I was hoping for! I stopped by during the early afternoon after lunch, so it wasn't too busy and ordering was quick and easy. The employees at the register were super friendly, answered my questions, and made the experience welcoming for a first-time visitor. Although I had already eaten beforehand and didn't get to try any of the sandwiches or food items yet, the menu looked delicious and gave me plenty of reasons to come back. I did order an iced vanilla latte with almond milk, and it was so good -- smooth, flavorful, and honestly hard to put down. The decor and ambiance were probably one of my favorite parts. The space has a very chill, cozy atmosphere that makes it a great spot to catch up with a friend or just hang out for awhile without feeling rushed. My drink also came out pretty quickly, which I appreciated. One thing I was initially concerned about was parking, but I ended up finding street parking about a block away pretty easily. I could definitely see parking becoming more difficult during busier times in the area though, so that's probably something to keep in mind depending on when you visit. Looking forward to coming back soon to finally try the food!

    Brownie
    Tina M.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Avocado toast with bacon
    Brittany F.

    This is my second time going here. So far the breakfast items are pretty good and they're pretty large. I do feel like the coffee is not super strong. I do think it's a cute place in a nice area though.

    Iliana H.

    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.

    Are dogs allowed and is there a size limit?

    The restaurant space is very limited. I would be cautious of this. I'd probably give the restaurant a call just to verify what they allow as well.

    I'm glad I gave them another try. I dined here a few months ago and didn't enjoy the food as much…read moreas I would have liked. But today, it was a success! Fried Green tomatoes - 10/10 Grits - 10/10 Praline Bacon - 10+++ Avocado - 10/10 Biscuits - 9/10 Scrambled Eggs w/Cheese - 6/10. After all that cheese and cajun seasoning, they were still tasteless. I added black pepper and it helped. My chai latte with oatmilk and a little caramel topped the meal off. Oh, and I ordered some beignets to-go. I remember those being good. I got 3 classics and 1 stuffed with peaches and cream. The music was a mixture between jazz, r&b, and a little funk. It added a nice touch on this rainy morning, especially jamming to James Brown. The hotness was friendly and looked like she was ready for her day. And Sara, our waitress, had a nice disposition early in the morning. She was pleasant, friendly, and efficient.

I had my family join me for brunch, and unfortunately, it left us with questions. The biggest question was, "Where was the favor?" I knew I wouldn't like the chicory coffee, yet there was another option available that I enjoyed more that was a decaf. The child's plate was one of the worst kid's meal values I've seen in a while. It was $10 for one tender and a beignet. The tender was small and left my child wanting more, so I paid $7 for an extra tender. Please consider a plate that has two tenders and fruit or potatoes for older kids since this was sized for a toddler. The $10 Doggy Meal looked like it could have provided that option since it came with grilled chicken, sweet potato, and steamed rice. The adult plates had enough food for an actual meal, so we shared our plates with my child who only wanted more chicken and potatoes at that point. The Bayou BLT was okay, yet nothing to rave about. My husband wasn't impressed with the Blue Crab Omelette, and my aunt said her Catfish St. Charles was very bland. We all had an order of beignets that were tough and chewy. My husband and I have had freshly baked and powdered beignets at Cafe Du Moude, so these tiny versions were a tough sell. What did have flavor? The Bananas Foster pancakes, which was the better dessert option. While the restaurant itself was cute, expect table service to be long. We constantly waited for waitstaff to return to refill coffee, bring napkins, or furnish a needed utensil. Also, the parking will be tight. We were lucky to get spots adjacent to the restaurant rather than offsite, yet you will be watched like a hawk when you attempt to leave. People want those spots. If you want the feel of brunch with okay-ish food at expensive prices, come to NOLA the restaurant. If you're expecting to relive the actual taste of NOLA the city, start booking your next getaway for the real deal.

    A Perfect Return to Where Our Forever Began My husband and I…read moregot married at Hotel Valencia one year ago, so getting to return this weekend to celebrate our first wedding anniversary was incredibly special. As part of our wedding package, they were incredibly generous and included two complimentary nights at the hotel and dinner at Dorrego's for us to celebrate. They are truly the absolute best at what they do and really know how to celebrate their guests! Returning to the very place where we said "I do" was already emotional enough, but Hotel Valencia somehow made the experience even more memorable than our first stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff was exactly as we remembered them: kind, attentive, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. Our room was absolutely gorgeous, and when we walked in on our first day, we found the sweetest surprise waiting for us: a bottle of champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a congratulations message written in chocolate on the plate. I actually teared up a little! It was such a thoughtful and adorable gesture that truly made us feel seen, celebrated, and cared for. There is something so special about Hotel Valencia. The environment is exceptional, the service is always outstanding, and even their gorgeous signature scent instantly brings us back to memories of love, celebration, and adventure. Every little detail feels intentional and memorable. I am so incredibly thankful that we chose Hotel Valencia as the place to celebrate both our wedding and our first anniversary. It will forever hold such a special place in our hearts, and we cannot wait to return again and make even more memories there. Thank you, Hotel Valencia, for helping make two of the most meaningful celebrations of our lives absolutely unforgettable!

    A Wonderful Stay at Hotel Valencia!…read more We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Valencia on the San Antonio River Walk! The location is perfect step out the front door and you're right in downtown San Antonio. From the hotel restaurant, you can take the stairs or elevator directly down to the River Walk, which makes getting around so easy and convenient. What we especially loved is that this hotel has so much character and charm. It doesn't feel like one of those cookie-cutter chain hotels. We had a balcony, although it was simply too hot during our visit to sit outside and enjoy it. I'm sure it would be wonderful on a cooler evening! The bar and restaurant were both excellent, and the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. A special shout-out to the valet guys they provided wonderful service and were always so helpful. Great location, beautiful atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, and exceptional service. We would definitely stay here again when we're back in San Antonio!
