    Slightly pricier when it comes to coffee, with a few caveats in terms of the specials - I tried…read moresome of the pastries there in a group of 3, with 2 of us trying Honeycomb Coffee, and the other trying a Cappuccino. Although I might be slightly biased as this was my first time trying those mousse fruit desserts, we shared the mango, blackberry, and strawberry mousse. They are wonderful. We debated on whether or not the mango could have been less sweet, but in terms of how the chocolate shell on the outside complimented the mousse, it was hard to conclude. Sure, it is pricier, but if there was anything to pick on, it would be the fact that it is a bit far from San Antonio and that maybe some more specials specifically with the desserts could be done. Although it's cheap suggestion, I would not mind paying $25 for 3 mousse desserts. The service was welcoming and friendly. I asked about their coffee, asked about if the Honeycomb tasted better iced or hot - I didn't regret my decision nor one of the lady's suggestion. Cozy ambiance, and definitely more modern... A great place to work, and with owners that are open to feedback. This was evidenced by the stands on the table that encouraged customers to review their drinks and pastries. I wouldn't know anything about if they look at them, but do try their place regardless. Let's hope they do.

    You've seen it on TikTok, Instagram, & Facebook- fruit entremets, formally known as "trompe l'oeil…read morefruit desserts." This french delight looks beautiful and tastes ever better! Pick your palate's preference and viola! Take your time, and consider your options because you definitely should try the fruits, but you should also consider the other options they have- a plentiful variety of Baklava, Eclairs, Crepes, Waffles, Puddings, Mousses, Cakes, Cookies, wnd more. The staff is friendly, patient, and kind.

    One of favorite places to order from. The flavors are always consistent. Our go-to meal is the…read moregrilled pork noodle bowl. The meat itself is well-seasoned. You can taste the lemongrass but not overpowering. My favorite part of the bowl is the nuoc mam sauce that is poured over the warm noodles. Then you let it sit for a minute so the sauce is absorbed. Oh my Yum! Aside from the noodle bowl, we stop by once a week to grab my daughter's favorite mango slushy with lychee jelly. Such a delicious combination. The drink is smooth and not too sweet. We had the chance to try their mochi donuts before the machine broke. They are smaller than the mochi donuts that we usually buy from the other side of town. But their donuts are always fresh and the icing is not too sweet. It is sad that they don't make donuts anymore. I was heartbroken when the lady at the counter told me that they will stop making the donuts because they wont be replacing the donut machine. I'm so happy that this little gem opened up by my neighborhood amidst the fast food franchises. I hope for this business to thrive as we need more small businesses like Daily Banh Mi in the Potranco area that serves good food.

    This review is just for the banh mi. This is my first time here and wanted to give it a whirl. I'm…read moreused to large, overstuffed banh mi so when I saw what was presented, I just prayed it had good flavor. I ordered the grilled pork, extra meat that cost roughly $3. When i opened the sandwich, it looked exactly like my sons who ordered a regular grilled pork. There was no extra meat. My son took 2 bites and decided he didn't care for it. I took his sandwich filling and stuffed it into my sandwich. There, it finally looked like what i'm used to. Took one bite, and chewed on the driest meat you can think of. Even jerky had more moisture than what I had. My husband was the only one who finished his banh mi, but he wasn't impressed either. I will continue looking for a good, filling banh mi joint. I may come back for their pho though.

    FIRST TIME VISIT!…read more Walked in on a whim after a bday dinner for the hubby at the Texas Roadhouse. I was in search of a sweet treat to celebrate at home and boy, was I ever in for a treat! THE LOCATION: in a bustling and popular shopping center with tons of parking, and other fun businesses, right off the 1604 in the Alamo Ranch area. I have no idea what to expect so I just burst thru the doors like I owned the joint ready to embrace something new. THE MENU: aside from some lovely beverages, the dessert offerings are pretty straightforward. CHEESECAKE!!! And in the best possible, gourmet, decadent way. My eyes were popping out of my head! THE SERVICE: Lucky for me, a very patient gentleman behind the counter was available to assist me during a lull. I'm very grateful for the time he took to answer all my questions. THE GOODS: I knew I wanted cheesecake tonight, but after watching those sweet treats watching me right back through a shield of glass, I understood that I NEEDED cheesecake, and stat! While there were sooo many flavors available in the jars, I wanted to eat cheesecake the traditional way; with a fork to slowly dissect and discover the flavors and texture of each layer. By all appearances, these treats are not your average cheesecake and I'm so intrigued. I choose one slice of each flavor available. At $9 per slice, I'm lucky there were only 3 flavors at this hour. Lol! The jars, btw, are $7 each. Now, I had to ask what ingredients were in each flavor becs there is no written description anywhere in the store. The names do no justice in identifying what you're getting either. Names like "Summer Daze" and "Midnight Berry" leave much to the imagination. Sure, you can see chocolate and/or raspberries, but believe me... you don't really know what treasure you've got until it's melting on your tongue. I can't get home quick enough to meet up with the hubby again. Yayyyyyy! Dessert!!! THE TASTES: Heaven. Nirvana. Jack standing at the bow, arms stretched wide shouting, "I'm the king of the world!" That. That's what it's like. And I literally dissected and analyzed each lovely layer, mostly fluffy, decadent mousse, creamy, cheesy and rich. The crust bottoms. Holy smokes! I actually avoid graham cracker crusts but not this one. A-MAZING. Another slice had a crisp shortbread-like crust. Like, WHO DOES THAT?! Omg. I gorged until I regretted rushing in. Total amateur move. I also secretly selected 2 of the 3 slices that I knew my hubby would turn his nose up to. HAHAHAHAHA! Joke's on him. Trust me. Seriously, trust me. If you love cheesecake, mousse, fresh and tart fruit flavors (like fresh fruits and lemon curd!), give a slice or jar a try. And try a lovely match drink, too. Maybe I'll see you there!
