La Panadería Bakery Café

The wait was definitely longer than expected, but honestly—it was 100% worth it. The food was absolutely amazing…😍 Lobster croissant was 👌👌(must try) Highly recommended if you appreciate great food and don’t mind a little patience! 😋

Our breakfast experience was absolutely amazing! The sweet bread here truly is the best we've ever had, and my Ranchero Benedict was cooked to perfection—a fantastic way to start the day. Even more memorable was the service we received from Alfonso. He went above and beyond, providing genuine and wonderful service. He was very sweet, offered excellent advice regarding the menu, and took the time to chat with us, making us feel completely welcome. We highly recommend this spot for both the amazing food and the outstanding team, especially Alfonso!

My food was pretty good. I ordered the tequila butter steak and eggs which had a really good flavor. The black bean soup was also really good and came with bread which was delicious for dipping. 9/10 My husband ordered the ranchero eggs Benedict. Very very different than what we were expecting. I don't think he cared for them. Personally I think I didn't have enough egg and too much salsa. Also the type of bread used is better suited for a sandwich. 5/10 I ordered the abuelitas hot coco latte. I didn't quiet finish half. Very very sweet and artificial. Most of the abuelitas flavor came from the chocolate chips. 5/10 The ambiance was very nice. 10/10 Staff was amazing. I wish I had tried the pan dulce. Maybe another day.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We visited La Panadería while in San Antonio and tried a few items from their menu. Honestly, some didn’t make it to the photo stage because we ate them too fast 😅 Here’s our little ranking: 🥐 Bakery: • Tres Leches Croissant: 8.5/10. It’s on the smaller side compared to other pastries, but the flavor totally makes up for it. • S’mores Croissant Cookie: 20/10. Absolutely delicious! The warm chocolate and crunchy cookie topping are perfection. Super recommended. • Banderillas: 6/10. Not really my favorite, mostly because of the sausage. The croissant dough with sesame seeds is extra crunchy though, which I liked. 🥪 Savory: • Hawaiian torta: 7.5/10. The pork was flavorful, but the jalapeños and pineapple weren’t evenly spread, so some bites were just meat. Still tasty overall. • It also came with a soup (I can’t remember the name) made with black beans and smoked pork, and wow, it was a delicious surprise! I’d love a bigger portion because I didn’t enjoy sharing it with my husband 😅 Totally recommended, 20/10. 🍰 Petite Cakes: • Chocolate Duo: 5/10. Even though I love chocolate, this one wasn’t my favorite. It’s not very sweet and the texture felt a bit chewy. • Cheesecake: 8.5/10. Creamy, smooth, and not overly sweet. Really good. We’ll definitely go back to try more, especially that s’mores croissant again! 😋

The Fiesta Lobster Roll 🤤 Maybe the best sandwich / lobster roll I’ve ever had. It’s buttery, a little spicy, with lots of lobster, and on a crunchy flaky croissant… it’s literal perfection. The line is worth the wait! I will definitely be coming back and foresee having a hard time ordering anything else. Lots of vegetarian options for those that want them. Great vibes. Bright, open, warm, and fun!
