The breakfast quiche is divine and one of my favorites. I could go on and on about the bakery items so you'll have to come check em out for yourself! It's usually fairly busy so the service feels a tad rushed sometimes but the employees are friendly. There are plenty of tables, inside and out. There are usually folks working on laptops or just reading peacefully. Stop by, grab something yummy, and enjoy the Pearl area!

This place is in a great spot for foot traffic because of all the other places next to it. When you walk in there are tons of chocolates, cakes, macarons;etc. I took a look around the whole shop just to see what they offer and I have to say the options seemed almost limitless. I did like that they had gifting chocolates already out. After walking around, I ended up just buying the Kanafeh & Pistachio Taco which was a whopping $14.00 ! I do have to say for the size of the taco, I don't believe it's worth that much. Don't get me wrong it was very delicious and can appreciate how much of the mixture they tried to put in it, but the chocolate ended up being too much for me. Now to talk about the service, this is where things were a little awkward since the 2 employees were having a conversation the female was loudly talking about how she was pissed that things had to be done a certain way and complaining about doing stickers or something to the male, when I tell you I heard the entire conversation.... I heard the entire thing. Just my 2 cents, if you're going to complain about anyone that has to do with the business maybe be a little quieter with customers around or wait until they leave.

In January, I will do the Daniel fast, so I am being totally calorie free in December. It is really hard to describe how delicious this gelato tastes. I chose the black cherry swirl...again! The black cherry flavor is so fragrant without being eye-squinting sweet. The gelato is dense yet smooth. You will be totally satisfied even with the smaller sized cups. Every time I visit, I threatened to try the coffee and then at the end of the day, I woos out. Paciugo also has Dubai chocolates, cookies and coffee. Service is always excellent. The server always takes time to provide you samples, so you are exactly sure of what you want to purchase. When you are being served, it feels like you are the only one in the room. You may purchase pints of gelato to go. They also provide catering This gelato comes closet to the gelato I tasted in Italy. Yum to the nth degree!!!

I'm a little bit of a macaron snob, so while they were incredibly tasty, I would have preferred either more filling or filling with more of the traditional French ganache texture. They are a boutique type of bakery and the price reflects that. I spent over $50 to get two full sets (14 total) so that both my husband and I could try each flavor. Definitely a fun adventure to track them down when they have a pop up around San Antonio.

I forgot the exact flavors I got, but I remember trying pistachio, Dubai chocolate, and one other flavor. They were all really good. Since I was hungry, I also grabbed a chocolate croissant, which was delicious as well. I forgot to ask them to heat it up, but it was still very enjoyable. On the side, I tried their ice cream, and it was honestly some of the best ice cream I've had in San Antonio. I believe I got pistachio, taro, and coffee on the bottom, and they were all great. At the end, I also got Turkish coffee just out of curiosity. It's not in the picture because I purchased it after I finished my dessert. The coffee was very strong, with a unique flavor that made it fun to try. One small suggestion: the coffee was very very hot and nearly overflowed the small cup, so it might be helpful to add a "cup sleeve", use a slightly bigger cup, or offer an option to make it a bit cooler (adding an ice or two). Overall, this is definitely a cool place to hang out, especially if you enjoy sweets, coffee, and trying different flavors. Highly recommended and will be back for more!

It was super busy this night so there was absolutely no seating.

Their baking ingredients are sourced from France and the recipes are from her and her husband. And they're a local restaurant which I love supporting!

It's a great option for those unable to decide on what to eat for breakfast. They have sandwiches, individual baked goods, à la carte items and hot and cold drink options as well. Coffee is strong n tasty Quiche is not dry at all Baguette and croissant are fresh baked Homemade jam Fresh squeezed OJ! Makes me happy!

Please note that parking can be a little difficult when is very busy, however if you are coming on an early morning before stores open you should be fine. The restaurant itself is really nice and love the open concept option they have. Unfortunately their espresso machine wasn't working during my visit and they only had a couple coffee/tea options to choose from. I decided to go for their cold brew since I needed a good caffeine kick and also go their cheese danish toasted. The cold brew was perfection and the cheese danish was absolutely delicious as per usual. My only reason for not giving them a full five-stars was the staff. The people working the counter and the drink section were just slacking pretty bad. You could tell the cooks were hustling and the manager was back and forth cleaning and running around, but those other two were clearly bringing down the ship. One clear example was my cold brew order. The person working the drink orders forgot to check so after some time waiting I decided to go and ask her directly. She immediately prep the drink and then told me there were no lids, which I have no issue with if they ran out. However, I then overheard another staff telling her where they are. You would think she would've come back and be like "ma'am, here is a lid apologies for the confusion". Noup, I could hear her just saying "oh! I didn't know". Similar to my case, I overheard more silly and ridiculous issues with orders that could've been fixed if those two staff members would just give a little more care. Regardless, I don't think this location might be the best representation of Bakery Lorraine as brand. I have always been a fan and love their location at The Pearl.
