Cake counter!
Liz A.

Stopped by this quaint panadería (Mexican bakery) after a 10k run by the missions. Glad we stopped. So many options to choose from and the pastries all looked so fresh and delish. The ladies working were so nice and accommodating. They also sell tamales! So much to choose from. Enjoy!

Great tres leches cake. Abundance of ethnic treats. Great pastry's and cakes. Parking is good. Staff is pleasant. If you want to splurge go for the cuatro leches

Fresh sweet bread
Eugene H.

The bread is baked fresh, soft and delicious. The service is good the ladies are nice and friendly. When you walk in you might get a little overwhelmed but just grab a tray and tongs and you pick your own bread, there's no rush and I'm sure the ladies will help you. Every time I come to town that's the place I go to, the bread goes great with coffee . The place is nice, clean and filled with baked goods.

Pan Dulce
Diana R.

Visiting San Antonio I wanted to find a local panadería in the area that wasn't downtown. A firm supporter of Hispanic businesses that are family owned. El Folklor Bakery is a small yellow building south of city. Great employees, easy to get in and find all the delicious pan dulce. They had a good variety plus some that you don't see in CA. Fresh and sweet. It went perfectly with our hot coffee or hot chocolate that evening in our hotel. I will return when I visit San Antonio again in the future.

Corner of Hackberry and Steves

So if your visiting SA or you live near by this is possibly just a tiny bit further from downtown but not a bad distance to go for some authentic delicious pan dulce that won't leave a hole in your wallet. You could probably even use a bird or Uber scooter from the downtown and enjoy some talented graffiti art along the way on Hackberry and even take note of one of San Antonio's best steak places called the Lil' Red Barn to keep in mind for another meal later. I swear this panadería has added more pan dulce and options since I first started going here. Now there are other panaderías all with a little bit different taste and there is a difference. This one. Well this one whatever Manteca they use is not super lardy and it has a light fresh dance on the tongue. And it's enough to sink those teeth or gums into. Lol. As it's still possible to eat this with limited abilities for some. Whether you can enjoy it with a big glass of milk or a delicious cup of coffee. The pan dulce from here won't leave you disappointed. And on the weekends you can add tamales! Now the tamales, I won't say are the best but it's a fair representation of a decent tamale in SA. They do taste good but I think a little less masa would make it a little better unless you like it that way then it would probably be the best for ya. I hope you can enjoy and give this panadería a shot. It's my favorite about a 5-10 mile circumference of the area. I do have others I like to but this is a great place to go when you're in the area and close enough to downtown but able to avoid some crazy lines. Buen provecho!

I LOVE this place. There is such a large selection of donuts and breakfast items to choose from,…read moreeverything looks so delicious I wanted to try it all! There is also a good selection of drinks as well. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, it makes the experience even that much better. The donuts are absolutely delicious, I had the matcha donut as well as the captain crunch, and bday cake donut. This is going to be my go-to donut spot now. I also got the opportunity to try the mango matcha refresher and OMG, it was so good and refreshing, especially during a hot texas summer. I look forward to coming back here and trying more things on their menu. I came as a part of yelp's hot matcha summer series, and I am beyond grateful to have been invited out here!

I attended a Yelp event and stopped by around 1 PM. The advertised matcha donut was sold out, but I…read morewas able to substitute it for the blackberry lime donut. My wife and I also purchased the Captain Crunch donut to try. Since we visited about an hour before closing, it seemed like the staff was starting to wind down for the day. The matcha drink was definitely the highlight of the visit and had great flavor. Unfortunately, both donuts were cold and seemed a bit stale, which was disappointing. Overall, it was an average experience for me. I'd recommend visiting earlier in the day for the freshest donuts, and the matcha drink was worth trying.

It's a large restaurant and you have two places to order, the donut side or the taco side. They did not communicate very well but food makes it worth it. Just know if you order a donut on the taco side they may not have it on the donut side. Our first time ordering was a bit confusing but nothing too hard to figure out. Can't wait to go back. Feels like home!

I'm honestly extremely disappointed with my experience at The Original Donut Shop today. My mom and…read moreI stopped by to get a few carne guisada tacos, and this is normally a place we've always enjoyed. I've been coming here since I was a kid and have always had good experiences, which makes what happened today even more disappointing. We both took a bite of our tacos and immediately noticed that they tasted burned. We couldn't eat them, so I called the restaurant to make a complaint. I was told to bring the tacos back, so I did. When I brought them back, the "manager" asked me, "Where's the rest of the taco?" I explained that I had taken a bite, realized it tasted burned, and spit it out. She then told me she couldn't replace the tacos unless I had the entire taco. I understand needing proof of an issue, but expecting a customer to bring back an entire taco after they've already taken a bite and spit it out because it tasted burned is unreasonable. What bothered me most was the way the situation was handled. There was no real attempt to make things right or acknowledge that we had paid for food we couldn't eat. It's especially disappointing because this was a place I grew up going to and genuinely loved. After the way I was treated today, I will never be coming back. Good food can be ruined by poor customer service, and unfortunately, that's exactly what happened today.

You can buy a single donut, or they have half dozen or dozen prices. They also sell sandwiches and drinks. They have a few places where you can sit and enjoy your donuts.

We love that their donuts are freshly made to order, so we don't mind waiting. Unfortunately, our wait was unnecessarily prolonged when a staff member took forever decorating a dozen donuts, only to realize he was working in an old order slip! Man, the agony of waiting and anticipation was brutal. Thankfully, Azelin saved the day! Warm, patient, and professional, she stepped in and decorated our freshly cooked donuts quickly and skillfully. Shoutout to Azelin for being such a great team player! We took our half-dozen favorites: Choco-Chocolate Chip, Apple Cobbler, Caramel Pumpkin Cream, Orchard Glaze, and Donut French Toast. We'll gladly return, hoping for a smoother service next time. Fresh donuts are worth the wait, but better coordination and training would make the experience even sweeter!
