    My friends from out of town (who used to live in San Antonio) wanted to try La Cafe :) ! It was a…read morefantastic choice because this gem of a cafe is located in the Alamo Ranch area, and we had never been to this trendy side of San Antonio before :D ! We absolutely loved the Parisian cafe theme, with cute Eiffel Tower decorations all around :) ! We tried the artistic - looking peach dessert with fruity filling on the inside :) ! As well as the matcha baklava that was very unique and delicious ;) ! The coffee choices are very rich and flavorful, and not too sweet or bitter :) ! Interestingly, there is also gelato as well in this Parisian - themed cafe :D ! How perfect is it to pair gelato and coffee choices together for a relaxing afternoon ;) ? The two employees who took our orders at the counter were very friendly and courteous :) ! This is the closest we could get to Paris for now :) ! We would highly recommend this cute cafe to anyone who is visiting the Alamo Ranch area :D !

    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.

    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!

    Service was good Ambiance was nice…read more Food was small for the price Its ok...but for the price with everything being expensive its not necessarily worth it.
