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

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.

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've been to hot springs all over the world and this place needs to make some improvements to say the least. First there are 2 'suites' and it was really nice if you weren't directly next to the other suite. The people had on their speaker and it was so loud. Even if they had it lower you could still hear everything they said. We had a speaker too but we would just have competed with them. It was hard to relax especially cause we didn't like their music. And the tubs. Ughh. They were black and old. And nasty. The provided shower only had cold water so not much of a shower. No soap either. They advertised food but the only thing they had was cheese. The only positive was the lady that worked there. Super nice. We booked for early afternoon and late in the evening. We are canceling our evening appointment and losing $100 because it was too late to cancel. When you spend $100 for an hour you expect more. Really disappointed. Oh and they NEVER answer the phone. Tried to reach someone for 3 days and always get vm. Can't leave a message. So we are just not showing for our evening appointment.

You can find anything from wine and beer, to snacks, local produce and so much more! My favorite thing from this store are their breakfast tacos! Yes, you heard that right! They make the BEST breakfast tacos in the southtown area and they sell out quickly. Their breakfast taco menu includes bacon and eggs, chorizo and egg, bean and cheese and country sausage. Also, don't miss out on their salsa! They have a green salsa which is absolutely delicious. Also keep in mind that these are very popular and they usually sell out by 9:00am.

I went in there to get something cold to drink once in the peak of the hot summer and planned on walking down to the river after I got something cold and mentioned to the woman working that I was going to try and feed the turtles down at the river and the manager at the time- She was so sweet.. when I told her what I was doing she went back in their little kitchen and gathered up a huge bag full of scraps for me to toss to the turtles! Good people And they always have delicious snacks!

I ordered the crispy dumplings (pork) and spring rolls as appetizers, and the spicy noodle soup as my entree. My server came to take my order, and brought me the items as they were ready. The entree came out before the appetizers. The spicy noodle soup was spicy (as named) and it was good, but it was incredibly oily and the noodles were overcooked, so I didn't eat much of it. I would definitely recommend ordering this with rice, or taking it home and making your own. The dumplings and spring rolls were crispy, but nothing special. I did like the duck sauce they had -- I would have asked my server for more of it, but she was busy in the back or something, not sure. I wish she would've checked in on me a bit more during the visit so I could have gotten more napkins and sauce. The service was alright. I wish I would've gotten checked on a little bit more, but she was nice and helped me pack my noodles to go. Overall, this spot wasn't terrible, but if I had to choose, I'd probably try another place.

So on Sunday we headed out and found that the place was turned into a bed & breakfast. We drove by and noticed Urban Herbal. What we didn't know was that the owner (William Varney) sold the herb farm back in 2007 but had some land adjacent to it and opened up Urban Herbal in 2010. I know that mid-February is not the time to visit if you want to see the garden in it's full glory, however the gift shop & labyrinth makes it worth the trip. We parked in the private lot and headed towards the garden where we were warmly greeted by William. He escorted us to his gift shop and I was so amazed at the variety of products he created to stock the shelves in this little store. From infused oils, herbal soaps, bath vinegars, bath salts/scrubs & lotions for the body, pet care to herbs for the grill, vinegars & seasonings for the palate, the offerings were mind boggling. William's knowledge was impressive to say the least and we were very happy that we got to spend some time talking with him personally, picking his brain. I ended up purchasing some incense, detoxifying body oil (juniper, geranium & grapefruit), lavendar/mint home fragrance, eucalyptus home fragrance, Herbs de Povence, lavendar/champagne vinegar & balsamic coffee/fig vinegar. After our purchases, William escorted us to the back garden. It was really wonderful to let my mind wander & meditate while I walked the labyrinth. William mentioned that he will begin workshops this spring. I am fuzzy on the details but he did mention that they will be posted on his website soon. I am truly happy that I was able to meet William. He is such a delight and has a wonderful, positive energy. I left Urban Herbal feeling refreshed & content. Definitely worth a return trip!
