Un-BELIEVABLE! This place is amazing! I've been to Smithfield and this is just as good. Love the concept of this place and every time I come here I feel blessed to be a part of this place and also to eat such yummy food! Everything I've ever had here has been awesome. You'll think so too! Just get here and eat! And enjoy! In health and happiness! Cheers! Danny

Did my homework and brought CASH. They have an ATM if you forgot. But no prices, u pay what u think it's worth. What we ordered: Lemon blueberry French toast Texas Benedict Side of hash brown casserole Everything was great except for the watered down hash casserole. It was more like a soup , that's prob why it was in a bowl. I'd love to come back tho and try the lunches. The service was wonderful. The wait was not long but it looked busy. It's quite popular indeed and we can see why. Social media has really helped , that's how I found this place!

After being heartbroken that the Los Patios location closed down, we finally made the drive over to this one. While the look and size is smaller than the Los Patios location, the food and service is just as amazing! We had the cinnamon roll pancakes, the metro omlette, and two kids breakfast with oreo pancakes. Our waiter, Jeff was the best! He was very friendly, took good care of us, and celebrated my wifes birthday with us. The food, service and what they do are the best in San Antonio. Comfort Cafe is a must visit!

Drunken Monkey Scramble

I don't normally give 5 stars on my first visit. But this is a special case, and special place. First time here, and I know the background of the cafe. My server Jeff was great, attentive and yes he told me about himself. I ordered coffee with cream, a water and the Drunken Monkey Scramble without toasts. The coffee was good and refreshing as I hadn't had any yet. The Scramble was very good and was the perfect choice for me today as it satisfied my hunger without me feeling stuffed (Note: I saw another table receiving their waffles and pancakes and OMG!!big delicious looking portions). Back to my food. Perfect bite size chunks of meat, veggies and eggs. They only accept cash, and recommend a $15 a dish donation. Jeff explained that you put the funds for the meal on the Ticket side of the holder, and any tip on the other. Or just put it all together. These funds go to help others recover from various addictions. You then leave the holder on the table and then leave. I ended up leaving $25 for the food and $5 tip. I look forward to going back. If you never have tried the Comfort Cafe, you have to go inside and by the Hostess stand you will see a computer tablet where you enter your information to be put on the waiting list. Great food, great service, great atmosphere and great cause hence why the 5 stars.

This place never lets you down if you do it right. Things sell out, so don't wait until the end of the day if you want the specials. Once you check in, stop by their coffee shop, Sweet Serenity, for a great little waitlist self care item. And don't forget cash! They have ATMs at both locations if you do. Everything here is great, so you really can't go wrong. The corned beef hash is a must on my list. Get there early, bring cash, and enjoy.

This place is absolutely amazing! The staff, the atmosphere, the food, the food, the food! So much food and it was absolutely delicious! I want to come back and try all the different amazing dishes.

First time visiting this location, but I've gone to other Comfort Cafes, so I'm familiar with the premise. Food was delicious, place is always welcoming and our waiter, was wonderful. As many know, you pay what you can, and if you can, the suggested price is $15 with a little extra for sides. And the food is worth it.

French toast
Carree W.

Our first time trying out this place. Our server was great and he told us the story behind the cafe - how everyone that worked there are recovering addicts and that they go by donations and only cash. (They have an ATM by the bathroom.) It's a very unique place! We ordered our meals and they were good portions. I had a benedict and I enjoyed it. My daughter loved her french toast. Their food was pretty good! I recommend trying this place and supporting them!

All the food is delicious and the staff are amazing. We love coming & supporting their recovery mission.

Staff was great. Just make sure you answer the call when you make a reservation; if not they take you off the list. But other than that it was awesome. Food was great and it's for a great cause!

Sammy Benny... a twist on Eggs Benedict. This is smoked salmon on the Eggs Benedict and a side of cheesy potatoes topped with bacon bits.

Came on a Saturday and it was packed but it moved quickly. This is a non profit and runs on donation. No set prices. Donation based pricing, pay what you can or what you wish for your meal. It's for a good cause, supporting addiction recovery. Anyway, food was great! Presentation was great. Servers were attentive and friendly. Only complaint was that it was HOOOTTT in there like sweating while eating lol. Otherwise worth giving it a try.

Corned beef hash with poached eggs 3/2026
Sabrina S.

This brunch spot had been on my list forever and we finally made it in after a morning hike at OP Schnabel Park. Be forewarned, this place gets quite busy....actually very busy, so depending on the time of arrival, expect a long wait. I think we waited up to an hour. When we were finally seated, our server introduced himself and gave us a little story on the background of Comfort Cafe. Know that this is a cash only donation based restaurant- all proceeds go directly to their rehabilitation programs. Account for $15-$20 per person. Their menu was extensive- breakfast/brunch and lunch menus. I opted for the corned beef hash- nice poached egg atop corned beef potato hash, seasoned nicely and not overly salty. Maybe could have used a side toast and jelly. Hubby ordered the chicken and waffles with a side of eggs and bacon- delicious! Not one crumb left behind lol The restaurant was open, warm, and friendly. Everyone, including the servers seemed so happy to work there. Lots of Birthday celebrations were happening, many songs to be sung and candles to be blown out : )

the maple waffle board really hit the sweet spot
Stephanie E.

Ask the Community - Comfort Cafe

Is a cash only business?

Yes, cash only. They do have an ATM in the restaurant.

Wait time to eat?

30min if they are busy, and they are almost always busy. Such a good cause I don't mind the inconvenience. You can sit in your car cause they will text you.

How u check in or place a reservation?

Reservations are for 8 or more everyone else can walk in - the wait is not what it used to be at Los patios

How can I make a reservation for Thanksgiving?

You can get on los patios waitlist or if your a party of 8 or more you can make a reservation at either location on FB messenger or call

Do you take reservations?

For parties of 8 or more yes

How can I get on the waitlist for Mothers Day at the Loop 410 location?

You will probably have to wait until Mother's Day. I don't see where there is a " Call ahead". Another option is call the cafe itself and ask.

Are there better times on weekends where the wait isn't that long?

Usually within the first hour of opening, you can get in fairly quick. After that, go through Yelp and join the waitlist ahead of time so when you get there, you only have a few minutes to wait after checking in. The location on Bandera seems to do… 

How do I get on the waitlist?

There is one for los patios location sign on through yelp - there isn’t one for Bandera just walk in

Do they do takeout?

Yes but need to come in and order

How do I reserve a table? How much time in advance is needed for a reservation?

You don't reserve a table. I would either go first thing in the morning, get in line online, or just be prepared to wait because it gets packed quick.

Is there a coffee bar at the Bandera location?

We have Vietnamese and cold brew but not full bar

Hello! What forms of payments are accepted?

Check or cash - we do have ATM on site

What's my place in line?

Los patios yelp should tell you

Croissants were sooooo delicious--I had the ham and cheese, my husband had the egg, bacon and…read morecheese, and both came with a small side of salad. I also had the raisin almond pastry the previous day, which was very good, but twice the size I needed. Love the low key atmosphere, and the French accents some of the staff have.

Ohh La Boulangerie, what can I say but delicious. A cute spot on Broadway in downtown San Antonio…read more Sylvie the owner is originally from Western France and moved close to Paris then came to San Antonio. 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! We had the Petit Dejuener Deluxe breakfast which includes one pastry (either a croissant, chocolate croissant or bread pudding), a baguette (with either butter, homemade jam or honey), organic fresh eggs made to order or quiche slice, fresh squeezed orange juice and a yogurt with granola and fresh fruit and a black coffee or tea. 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! And for those in Austin...they opened a second location in Austin West lake area.

A Perfect Return to Where Our Forever Began My husband and I…read moregot married at Hotel Valencia one year ago, so getting to return this weekend to celebrate our first wedding anniversary was incredibly special. As part of our wedding package, they were incredibly generous and included two complimentary nights at the hotel and dinner at Dorrego's for us to celebrate. They are truly the absolute best at what they do and really know how to celebrate their guests! Returning to the very place where we said "I do" was already emotional enough, but Hotel Valencia somehow made the experience even more memorable than our first stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff was exactly as we remembered them: kind, attentive, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. Our room was absolutely gorgeous, and when we walked in on our first day, we found the sweetest surprise waiting for us: a bottle of champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a congratulations message written in chocolate on the plate. I actually teared up a little! It was such a thoughtful and adorable gesture that truly made us feel seen, celebrated, and cared for. There is something so special about Hotel Valencia. The environment is exceptional, the service is always outstanding, and even their gorgeous signature scent instantly brings us back to memories of love, celebration, and adventure. Every little detail feels intentional and memorable. I am so incredibly thankful that we chose Hotel Valencia as the place to celebrate both our wedding and our first anniversary. It will forever hold such a special place in our hearts, and we cannot wait to return again and make even more memories there. Thank you, Hotel Valencia, for helping make two of the most meaningful celebrations of our lives absolutely unforgettable!

A Wonderful Stay at Hotel Valencia!…read more We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Valencia on the San Antonio River Walk! The location is perfect step out the front door and you're right in downtown San Antonio. From the hotel restaurant, you can take the stairs or elevator directly down to the River Walk, which makes getting around so easy and convenient. What we especially loved is that this hotel has so much character and charm. It doesn't feel like one of those cookie-cutter chain hotels. We had a balcony, although it was simply too hot during our visit to sit outside and enjoy it. I'm sure it would be wonderful on a cooler evening! The bar and restaurant were both excellent, and the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. A special shout-out to the valet guys they provided wonderful service and were always so helpful. Great location, beautiful atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, and exceptional service. We would definitely stay here again when we're back in San Antonio!

Another great meal! Our server Brahim provided the perfect service: attentive, thoughtful, kind…read more Really enhanced our meal. For a starter we shared the cornbread with another couple and it was plenty for 4 people. If you are from out of town and looking for some Texas-shaped vittles or just want something substantial to stretch your meal I recommend it! Very tasty and filling. For my main I had the scallops with creamed corn risotto. It was a dainty portion but the flavors were nice. My husband had the short rib tagliatelle which he loved. It was very rich and filling. We had the buttermilk pie again for dessert and this time it tasted sweeter than I remembered. It was good but we couldn't finish it. Idk if it was my tastebuds or if it was different. Anyways still a great meal overall and we will be back!

Great atmosphere, Great service. The price versus quality doesn't meet! My date had the lamb chops…read more The lamb chops were full of fat and untrimmed, this fat didn't add any flavor. They were cooked medium rare. I don't recommend the lamb. I had the red snapper filet. I was basically. The best thing about the entire meal was dessert! We shared a large slice of butter pie and ice cream. Other than that, the food was average to, not good I made the mistake of going to this tourist spot, inside of the la mansion hotel, $168 later, I can truly say that I would never recommend this restaurant!
