Lily's Cookies is such a fun stop when you're craving something sweet…read more I popped in for a few treats and ended up leaving with the cutest San Antonio Spurs-themed cookies--they almost looked too good to eat. Almost. Their Mexican wedding cookies are hands down the best in town--but the real surprise for me was trying their Mexican Coke chocolate cake for the first time. Absolutely superb. Rich, moist, and full of flavor. This place nails both presentation and taste. Definitely a go-to when I need something sweet.

I've been going to Lily's for years and they make really good cookies (I highly recommend the…read moreRanger, Ice Lemon and Texas Honey) and decent lemon bars (a little dry IMO) and cupcakes. That being said, the price is ridiculous for the size of the cookies and they've seemingly gotten smaller over the years. Last time I came here it was about $22 for a dozen cookies, some cupcakes and a lemon bar. Out of that cost, the cookies were $10/dozen, lemon bar $3.75/ea and cupcakes were $4/ea. Also "promotions" don't seem to be universally known. On this specific visit, they gave me a 13th cookie free (baker's dozen) but other times this is not the case. Compare that to the other bakery I venture to downtown - they don't do cookies or lemon bars but their cupcakes are $3.25/ea or $1.50/ea for day old. They're also larger in size.

I was really excited to try Cinnaholic because the pictures look amazing, but it ended up being a…read morebit disappointing. The rolls were way too sweet for my taste, and for the price, I didn't feel like the portion size justified it. Honestly, I'd rather just bake cinnamon rolls at home and know they'll turn out amazing. I had high expectations going in, but unfortunately it didn't live up to the hype for me

The service here was very good, friendly, patient and helpful cashier. I was very pleasantly…read moresurprised how good the cinnamon rolls were, considering they are vegan. Lots of creative choices but I think the old school was my favorite. We also got some cookie dough, how can you resist! The shop is small with some seats at the bar to sit but otherwise a little tight if there are a few people in there to place orders. Mostly a clean establishment except that I noticed quite a bit of dirt build up under the bars by the front window. Overall, very good, would recommend!

If Cookie Monster lived in San Antonio, he would order all of his cookies from That Cookie Tho…read more I first tried That Cookie Tho at a farmers market, and it was life changing! Their cookies are so creative and I can assure you you've never had a more delicious cookie in your life. By far my favorite cookie is their Classy B; a double chocolate chip cookie with hazelnuts and nutella, topped with a whole Ferrero Rocher! My second favorite is their Cream Dream; signature base cookie with pieces of oreo and white chocolate. They don't have a brick and mortar but you can put an order via their website or over the phone. I believe they also do custom order, which are perfect birthday parties or as a gift.

One moment that really stayed with me happened when my mom was in hospice. I walked in crying…read morebecause I just couldn't hold it in anymore. The cashier noticed right away and asked if I was okay. I told her my mom was in hospice, and she ended up paying for my treats and giving me a hug. It was such a kind, unexpected moment, and it meant a lot to me. Experiences like that are part of why I love supporting small, local places--there's real heart behind the counter. Also I hope your mom is doing ok in Dialysis It doesn't look like much when you pass by, but this is definitely a spot where you can grab some really fresh food--fresh salads, fresh sandwiches, and of course amazing bakery treats. Think cinnamon rolls, muffins, scones, and more. As far as drinks go, they have ice tea, coffee and a small Selection on sodas

I ended up getting a slice of red velvet cake and a strawberry lemon cupcake, both were so delicious! If summer was a flavor it would be that cupcake! I can't wait to come back and try new flavors as well as the cookies because they looked SO good. You can also pre order a whole cake here as well as cookies cakes, and I will definitely be doing that in the future.

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!

I recently visited a new cookie shop in Stone Oak that opened in February, and it was a great…read moreexperience. I tried four cookies: Nutella S'mores, Birthday Cake, Strawberry, and an Ube Coffee Latte. Every cookie was delicious thick, slightly crunchy on the outside, and soft in the center. They also offer the option to warm the cookies, which makes them even better. The two girls working there were incredibly friendly and polite. They answered all of our questions with a smile and genuinely seemed happy to be there, which made the visit even more enjoyable. What I loved most was that the cookies were rich and flavorful without being overly sweet. Each one had its own unique taste and texture, which made trying different flavors fun. Overall, everything was excellent, and I'm already looking forward to going back to try more of their cookies, coffees, and specialty drinks. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the Stone Oak area!

My husband and I shared it and it was delicious. Worth every penny! Ambiance is lively and service is great! Definitely recommend!!

I was coming with a team of colleagues from Washington DC to San Antonio for business and wanted…read moresomething special (and fun) to start off of our two weeks there. I needed someone who would deliver as we had no car. I found Gloria and holyCupcake through a Google search. Her website, including Pay Pal, was easy to navigate and use. Since I wanted a special order of margarita cupcakes, I sent her an email to see if that would be possible. I received a quick and enthusiastic yes! Oh wow were her cupcakes fabulous - and she told me when she delivered that this was her first time making them - you wouldn't have known that by how perfect they were, down to the small slice of real sugared lime on top. My colleagues raved and several may have had more than two cupcakes when I wasn't looking. Her frosting was the perfect balance of sweet without being heavy. One colleague even ordered another dozen (in a different flavor) the following week. And all of my colleagues were still taking about the margarita cupcakes in our final day in town. Thanks so much Gloria for a wonderfully easy ordering experience and truly delish cupcakes!
