    You know it's going to be a great place when it's before noon, and the restaurant is already filled with locals! I got the white bbq sandwich, and it knocked me off my feet. Perfect portions, and the homemade bread brings the sandwich together!!! I also got a slice of coconut cream pie, which was delicious too. So good, my brother bought his own after trying mine. It's a casual well loved place, service was fast, and there was plenty of seating.

    Pretty chill vibes & super welcoming staff. The bread on that Chupacabra sandwich was so fresh, it hit the spot..I still felt hungry after just 1 sandwich but that's just me lol I will definitely be back to try their other options.

    The art on the wall changes regularly, I'm told

    Best sandwich I've had all year! Soft, fresh bread baked in-house, delicious cuts of meat and cheese, and tasty spread. Prices were respectable, and service was friendly and efficient. I'll be back many times.

    Everything is excellent, the sandwiches, soups and deserts are al fresh and delicious. I like that i can order pickup over Local Toast and its ready in 10 minutes, enough time to drive there and have it waiting for me.. The bread is soft and tasty and that separates them from the pretenders.

    They DO NOT have pastrami.

    Well I called and asked if they had pastrami sandwiches. So I drive from the other side of town just to get there and they didn't have real pastrami they had something called turkey pastrami? Ridiculous that a sandwiche shop doesn't know the difference. Especially when I made sure to call ahead. I hate leaving bad reviews but. It seems to be a good sandwich spot, it was full when I showed up. Again Ive been let down by a restaurant and thise so called foodie tik tok reviews. They dont serve real Pastrami what a let down. You know how has real pastrami? Yea the big chain restaurants . I try to support our local spots but when the sandwiche spot doesn't know the difference in studd is very disappointing. Well big chain Firehouse subs restaurant for the win again. Oh justvlike Turkey bacon isn't bacon...Turkey pastrami isn't real pastrami its Just TURKEY!

    Plenty of room for your groups!

    I had the pleasure of eating here today with one of my elementary school retiree groups. A member of the group suggested it when we made our list of venues for 2024. She told us they had the best sandwiches and guaranteed we would love it. Riding down with one of my friends, I worried about parking. She can't walk far, and I didn't want a long hike after dropping her off out front. I shouldn't have worried. The minute we turned on the street (King William), I saw a space on the street right across from the entrance that I could drive right into and fake parallel parking by simply backing up closer to the next vehicle. When I opened the door for my friend, I saw what looked like a huge room with a large table in the middle for our group. The menu was up on very nicely backlit signs that made reading it super easy. We sat down with the folks who got there before us and waited a few minutes for the rest of our group. Then, some of us went up to order just as a little rush started. I noticed that you could order and pay at the table by scanning the QR code on the little placards. It didn't matter how we ordered, the food came out to us super fast! I think I figured out how they can do it so quickly. They have a fantastic selection of sandwiches. Most of them have either turkey or roast beef. They start with their absolutely wonderful store-baked bread, put a mountain of either turkey or roast beef on it, add some cheese and a few veggies, then slather it with a sauce. It is the different sauces that create the different sandwiches. For example, I had the Thai Fighter. It had a deliciously spicy red curry sauce on it. Let me tell you that they have perfected that sauce. I really liked everything about the sandwich, and can't wait to go back and try some others. I also had the soup of the day, which is creamy poblano on Tuesdays. It was really satisfying. I loved that it was not salted heavily, allowing the full flavor of the peppers to come through. For dessert, I chose a slice of their pumpkin cheesecake. It wasn't on the menu, and my friend that goes there weekly says they frequently have a special cheesecake like that. This was pumpkin flavored on the top and traditional on the bottom. As usual, I only had one delicious bite. It was really hard for me to pass it on for others to try. I really wanted to eat more. After it went around the table, someone set it right back in front of me. I shoved it way across the table and watched as one of my friends took another bite every few minutes. It was so good she couldn't help herself until it was all gone. I need to mention the hibiscus mint tea. I couldn't taste any hibiscuses in it (what are they? flowers?), but the subtle bloom of mint with each sip was dazzling enough for me. I went back for a second glass, which is very unusual for me. I forgot to take pictures while I was there, so I am adding the picture of our group.

    Garlic roast beef
    Darian C.

    The garlic roast beef sandwich was really good. It wasn't dry at all and so garlicky which I loved. I took it togo and it was still so good after I got home. The store had lots of seating and seemed clean. The service was really fast and the workers were nice. I'm just sad they are open limited hours.

    Pesto turkey sandwich

    I haven't seen the place, but my coworker brought me the pesto sandwich from here and oh my it is very good. If you're a sandwich person you need to try this place. It is also fairly priced!

    Apr 2024 chef salad
    Susan C.

    17 Apr 2024 I arrived early for my King William volunteer gig, so I thought I'd grab some lunch. I had about an hour before my shift. Arriving at noon I thought I would have to wait. Not so. I was second in line. By 12:30pm however, the line was almost out the door. Anyway, I ordered the chef salad and a small drink. Interesting presentation. The salad is in a plastic container with lid, think the containers HEB packages their single slices of cake in. It, a plastic knife and fork, some napkins and the cup of dressing was placed in a red paper-lined plastic basket. So I dumped the salad onto the paper in the basket, added the dressing and proceeded to eat. I guess that's what you're supposed to do. It was good. I'll probably go back if I'm in the area. Prices are very reasonable. Along with salads, soups, sandwiches and baked good are also available.

    Garlic Roast Beef Sandwich

    An awesome cheap eat! The roast beef sandwich was highly recommended, so I'm glad I was able to swing by to try it! I got takeout but service was friendly and speedy!

    The station club sandwich
    Wilber S.

    The station club sandwich is to die for! The bread is homemade and nice and toasty. It is big enough to fill you for a while for sure. The service is great and ambiance it's up to standard with the norm in SA.

    I really love this coffee cafe, located in the Hemisfair district of San Antonio. I spent time here…read moretwice. Formerly a house, the interior of this cafe has a serene feel inside with comfortable seating. There is also seating on the front porch and a huge backyard patio deck. You order at the counter, which is right when you walk in the front door. Your order is brought to your table, wherever you may be sitting. On my first visit I had a croque monsieur, a deli ham and melted cheese sandwich with béchamel sauce between toasted bread. It was delicious and was served with potato chips. I also got a hot vanilla latte, served in a mug, which was absolute perfection. One thing I liked was the absence of laptop campers. I only spotted one on both of my visits. People come here to quietly socialize or just take a break from life for a few minutes. My second visit was mainly to get another one of those fantastic vanilla lattes but I also chose a chocolate croissant from their pastry case. The croissant, served on a nice dish, was fresh, flakey, and full of chocolate. I sat, relaxed, and felt like things didn't get much better than this.

    Commonwealth Coffee was good, but not the best coffee experience I've had. The interior itself is…read morevery clean and has plenty of space inside to sit and relax, which I appreciated. However, parking was difficult and not very convenient. The coffee was good and smooth, but nothing that really stood out. It was solid quality, just not something I'd go out of my way for. One thing that surprised me was the price. My latte was listed at $7, but with all the extra charges for add-ons it quickly became $9+, which felt a bit pricey even coming from Chicago where coffee can already be expensive. What really affected the rating for me was the service speed. It was probably the slowest coffee service I've experienced. I waited about 15 minutes for two lattes, and there was only one other person ahead of me. For a simple order, that felt like a long time. Overall, it's a nice café with a clean, spacious atmosphere and decent coffee, but the pricing and slow service make it somewhere I'd visit occasionally rather than regularly.
