I have been here several times but always in a hurry so I don't always get to take pictures. Once again I had to hurry but I managed to snap this picture of my cafe de olla to go and it was AMAZING!! It was so delicious, between the flavor and the heat, it was perfect on a cool morning. The service is always great and when you get a chance to sit and enjoy your coffee and pastry, they have a great outdoor space with lots of really pretty plants and flowers. This is my favorite coffee shop on this side of town. read more

The breakfast sandwiches here are yummy and they have a pretty big menu for a cafe. The drip coffee was great but the cappuccino tasted like it was made with spoiled milk. We even said something and got it remade but it tasted the same. Hopefully it was just the milk and they don't usually taste like that. The desserts here are also so tempting and we got the chocolate mousse cake. read more

Every time I come here I'm reminded why I don't stop coming back. From start to finish this concept is well thought out and executed in extremely impressive manner. The blue and white colors catch your eyes form the street, walking through the patio to the front doors is such a cute sight for the eyes, and the moment you walk in your senses are met with scents and smells that make your soul smile. Extra fine is hands down one of the best bakeries in town serving up some mouth watering eats and rotating drinks that keep locals buzzing. From their calamansi limeades (my favorite) to ANY of their coffee or matcha drinks, you're always in for a treat. & if you came hungry? You came to the right place. They offer breakfast and lunch items & no matter which menu your order from, every option offered takes some of our favorite foods and then elevates them even more. Recommendations: LITERALLY any kolache, any pastry, the Breakfast sandwich, the Yogurt Parfait, the chicken Caesar salad sandwich, the ham & butter sandwich, the French onion grilled cheese, their Moroccan couscous salad, and their lemon dill potato salad. There's a super cute patio and also plenty of seating inside to study & everyone who works here is super sweet & helpful. Bring a friend or two so you can try a little of everything & expect a line during peak hours. Enjoy! read more

Came here the other day with my fiance. Parking here is limited. I drove around the parking lot and there were no spaces available. I drove up the street to try to find parking. I ended up going back to the original parking lot and got lucky that a spot had opened up. I ordered the 5 Spice Pancakes. It is worth noting that they do not accept cash. After ordering our food, we took our number and found a table. The food did take sometime to come out. If you are getting hangry then you might want to get one of their pastries to eat while waiting . If you are able to wait then the food is worth it. When the food came out, my pancakes were delicious. The restaurant has a casual feel to it. It also has some outdoor seating. I suggest this restaurant for great food that uses locally sourced ingredients read more

I love this find. Quaint little breakfast/lunch place that makes fresh pastries and bread. I had the chicken Cesar salad sandwich and died and went to heaven. Would absolutely recommend this place for coffee or a meal! read more

More of a Coffee house than a restaurant, you walk up and order from a few items or choose a chilled item in a case to be heated up for you like a chicken pesto or ham and cheese. Selection of teas and coffees and special drinks. Ambience is a bit industrial, with most customers working on computers. Outside is more pleasant with several tables. Food was brought out, pleasant staff. Sandwich was decent enough but not much flavor and it was just the sandwich for the price no chips. Adding chips was $3 which was high to me. Was surprised they didn't accept cash, which seems to be the trend nowadays. I mentioned I like to use cash because it cuts the processing cost and for me I don't need to pay the bill later. The guy said well some people don't have checking accounts so it's better for the "marginalized" people which I thought nonsensical. But that's just to show it's an Austin type place, more geared to that mindset- the 4 stars are for the food not any of that. Not my type of place so I'll move on. read more

Finally got to stop in to try this place and it was pretty good! I got the Thai Iced Coffee which was yummy, but I do wish I got a regular latte instead. I also got a peach coffee cake which was also very good, though very crumbly so definitely be careful with eating it. The interior is pretty cute and there's a good amount of parking in the lot as well as street parking available. read more

Cute coffee place with bites to eat. That brownie cookie thing with the powdered sugar is out of this world I definitely recommend it.

Annie wasn't very kind and wouldn't allow me to redeem my Offline subscription because I wanted to use it on 2 beverages.. she said I had to sit and drink both and when I said sure, she changed her mind and said actually you can't use it unless it's on food. I don't recommend this service, however their Southtown location is very friendly and Laura will make your day! read more

Yelped a brunch place and this came up. No wait and seating inside and outside. Brought the family. Not too much on the menu, simple light dishes. Basic customer service, friendly. The food was mediocre. Looked great but pretty tasteless. Ordered the avocado toast with an over easy egg, nothing special (3/5), my son loved the yogurt parfait, the grilled cheese sandwich lacked taste as well and was very greasy. Cute place but I will probably not return, the prices were high and the food was not great. Oh, And you have to get your own water, utensils, napkins and bus your table. read more

This is a credit card only establishment with about 12 parking spots in their lot plus a couple handicap spots. There is additional parking in the street but be sure to read the signs to avoid restricted areas. This restaurant locally sources their ingredients and you can tell in the quality of their food. I had the avocado toast which comes on one long piece of toast with fresh pesto, soft ricotta cheese, sliced avocado and a fried egg on top. It was delicious and the garlic flavor from the pesto left a pleasant aftertaste. My partner had the 5 spice pancakes that came with a large serving of real whipped cream on top. I like any type of whipped cream from canned to cool whip but always find freshly whipped cream a special treat. They list the local farms they source the ingredients from on the mirrors in the wall which was good to see. We left full, satisfied and curious enough about their other menu items to plan a trip back. read more

On a whim, my friend suggested we go here after our workout. I've heard good things about this place before, but I'm never in the area so I usually forget to go. It's a cozy, low lit spot in the morning. Perfect for an intimate breakfast atmosphere or for when you have to get some work done. There's not a lot of seating, so hopefully you can find a spot! We went on a weekday morning and we were able to snag the last spot available! This is definitely a place where people come to be alone and to focus during the week! Pricing is pretty good, especially for the food! Everything is pretty filling, and most of their stuff is under the $10 price range! Good food, friendly staff that's also quick? Perfection. read more

How have I not reviewed EF before now?! It is maybe my favorite place to hang, eat breakfast or brunch, or sip coffee in San Antonio. First, the staff. They are not just friendly; they are comfort. I've only known them 2-3 years but it feels like a lifetime. Being greeted by name makes me feel I'm home. They are all tops but Jade is extraordinary. Jade is the type of employee that makes customers keep coming back. I always get the Extra Fine Breakfast on weekends. It's the best deal but also has it all. The drip coffee is robust and excellent. I always get a refill for $1 more. Now, the bakery. I haven't tried them all (I'm not a big berry guy). But the handpies are not to be missed. Delicate buttery pastry folded around ham. The cinnamon bun or anything is great. But I found what may be the best cookie in the world. It's a hidden miracle of sorts because it's called a Rye Choc Chip Cookie. It's almost soft, almost crunchy, not too sweet, a bit salty, no trace of a rye taste, and rich chocolate. The first one I took for my drive home. I had to pull over... Finally, the ambiance, no- vibe. I'm a Texan by birth but yearn for Tribeca and SoHo, Union Square and West Village. This is the only place in San Antonio that takes me there. Go and enjoy. Tell them that Byrd sent you. And don't forget the Dark Chocolate Rye Cookie. read more

My boyfriend and I came to this spot on a whim last weekend and oh my goshhhh it was great! We had something similar to a breakfast sampler plate. It came with 2 eggs, 2 strips of bacon, 2 sausage patties, potato wedges, and some toasted sour dough. The eggs 10/10, the bacon was so crispy and perfectly salted 12/10 , I didn't care too much for the sausage but that was just personal preference. The potato wedges threw me for a loop! I honestly did not think I would like them as much as I did but wow 12/10 again lol. Lastly I was not too crazy about the sour dough toast, because I don't care for sourdough bread either, but Jesus I was surprised by that too! Lol. We came back today, on a Friday morning hoping to get the same thing. I was a little sad because the sampler plate was not on the menu. I figured they either have different menus for the week vs the weekend or they just change the menu every so often in general. Either way my boyfriend and I ended up getting a breakfast sandwich with bacon, some random type of cheese, tomatoes, and a cinnamon roll and again we loved it! I think the only thing that would have made the roll a little better was if it was heated up, but it was all still so good! The food just always comes out sooooo fresh it, it makes it hard to really knock this place lol. TLDR : the food is fresh and so flavorful! Deff recommend to anyone looking to try a new spot! read more

First impression was that it was a pretty cute bakery. Convenient parking lot next to the building as well. There is outdoor seating with fans and umbrellas, comfortable spot to relax and eat pastries. We got the blueberry yuzu muffin, jalapeño cheddar colache, and the best danish I've ever had - Strawberry Tarragon Danish. The pastry was so light, airy, and crispy, while the strawberry filling was bright and refreshing. I also got the iced mocha, which was also very good. Nothing bad to say about the service. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back again. read more

Came on a Sunday afternoon (12:30) and there was a short line to order. They have a nice variety of brunch/lunch items to choose from. We decided on the Extra Fine Breakfast platter and some coffee. We also came on a day they were having a pop up shop and dj in the parking lot. Our coffees came out relatively quick but the food did take over half hour to be served. Once we did get to eat, we really enjoyed our meal. The sausage and the strawberry hibiscus jelly were my favorite. Everything tasted fresh and was full of flavor. The bacon is crispy to perfection. read more

I had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. I waited an unreasonably long time for my muffins that I never got, and the delay completely ruined the experience.

Delicious, fresh food. Friendly staff. The brunch is so good. Shakshuka! Shakshuka! Nice patio with umbrellas.

Extra Fine is, well, extra fine! Very cute little cafe with a cozy atmosphere, great coffee, and fresh baked goods (baked in house!) There were quite a few delicious things to choose from for breakfast. The ricotta and hibiscus jam toast is next on my list to try, but as your basic millennial, you know I had to go for the avocado toast. I also ordered an oat milk latte. The cafe was not too busy, but it was fairly early in the morning and traffic did seem to pick up by the time I left, but for the most part, it was gloriously quiet and cozy. The latte was smooth, and the avocado toast was as tasty as it was photogenic. (Grilled peaches!? My eyes have been opened!) Service was pretty great, the cashier was kind and complimented my wallet. If you're still not comfortable with indoor seating, the outdoor seating looks just as cozy! read more

Extra Fine - Yogurt Summer Parfait Breakfast - Bakeries Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

When I visit a new place, I like to keep it simple, especially with the prices of today. I came in with a party of five. Everyone ordered for themselves at the counter. None of us got our food at once so each of us were eating one by one, someone in my party waited about 45 minutes for her breakfast after she had to remind one of the employees about it twice, it would be nice if the employees would wear some type of matching shirt so we know who's who. Another Patron actually thought that I was an employee because I was up serving water for my party, (its self serve.) The only condiments I saw was a bottle of crystal hot sauce. It would've been nice to see some jam for the toast and some ketchup for the potatoes and some salt and pepper packets , My scrambled eggs were perfectly cooked. The potatoes were perfectly cooked. The bacon was perfectly cooked good quality, the sausage tasted homemade,The bread was perfectly toasted. My plate came out hot. (Thank God and Thank you Chef) I have no complaints about the food. They carry pastries...also amazing. I would say yes give this place a try and I'm sure you would like it. Just one more thing before I go if you want a refill on your iced tea or iced coffee, they do charge you a dollar and they don't accept the cash and they charge a 3% transaction fee. read more

Had one person working with people waiting patiently. Took almost 15 minutes to order and 15 to get order. Finally another worker got off her email to help, while the owner (heavyset white man) went behind the counter to fix his own coffee and breakfast. I thanked the worker for her hard work, then the owner says with a condescending attitude, sorry we're busy with customers. I replied that it wasn't worth it to come back with such long waits and he says it's good when some customers don't return. Interesting after spending almost $35 for two people. I'm sure the brown color of my skin play a big part of his horrible attitude! Yes, I said it! #fact. But I'm sure he could care less. read more

I stopped by with the Fam. Honestly I was hesitant since we had the kids but we just finished working out and we were all so hungry. They are more kid friendly than I thought. They offered adorable little milks and plain pancakes for their picky palettes. My 6yo who is a bacon connoisseur gave theirs a very enthusiastic thumbs up and I assure you, she's not wrong. Everything was very good. We really wanted to try the pastries but had planned to get them on the way out. Bad idea. There was already a line to the door by the time. I feel like the pastries may be the star here so maybe next time we will make a point to get them in the beginning. read more

This is a nice local cafe. They offer hot and cold drinks, pastries, and sandwiches. I popped in during a chilly morning for a warm drink and appetizing pastry. I decided to try something different so I ordered the Golden Milk. I've heard about this style of hot drink so I wasn't too surprised. It originates from India and the main ingredient is turmeric. This drink has such a kick with all the spices. It's pretty much what expected. Reminded me of yummy Indian food. I also ordered the blueberry Yuzu muffin. Yuzu is a citrus so the muffin had a zingy taste. Not as apparent as all the spices in the Golden Milk. Overall I'd order both again. The service was good, only a few patrons dining in and outside. The space is clean and has an airy, crisp decor. Giving 4 stars because I thought it was a bit pricey. I ordered 2 drinks and 2 muffins walked away paying $16. read more

I've been coming to extra fine for a long time, unfortunately I've unable to visit as frequently- when I came to visit I noticed just how much it changed; the food was no longer fresh, it was all sealed and in a fridge to purchase. I feel like doing this turned the once cool place into something almost fast food like and no longer authentic. Although making fresh food might take longer; BRING IT BACK. Y'all charging this pre packaged food like it's FRESH off the stove. So pls bring back old extra fine. read more

This is a cute little coffee shop/cafe. Reasonably priced. Located in Laurel Heights area of downtown. The food was good but not special. I was really surprised that they have no GF options. I ordered a BLT without the bread. Which looks strange on a plate but it was the best I was going to get from their menu. The staff are friendly and the wait for food was minimal. The unisex bathroom was very clean and pleasant. Something I always rate eateries for. We sat outside. Be careful doing this. Their wooden benches are aging and I managed to get a splinter, fortunately only in my hand. Overall a pleasant experience. A few tweaks to the menu and this would become a firm favorite. read more

Located in the Monte Vista neighborhood, Extra Fine is a boutique style bakery. A limited selection of breakfast sandwiches and croissants in the morning, and a few salads, sandwiches and soups at lunch time. While the menu is limited the items are rich and full of flavor. Lunch items are creatively done in flavors like roasted cauliflower soup and kale and swiss chard salad. They make a scrambled egg breakfast sandwich on brioche that is phenomenal. The pastry items are limited, but are small works of art. The chocolate Espresso mousse cake is like a fine wine of pastry. Just don't go to Extra Fine if you are in a hurry. This is a sit on the patio and wait a bit for your food type place. Bring your laptop and enjoy the day. read more

I like the food and the coffee, but every time I go in I feel like I'm treated as less than compared to all the white women. It's white women who frequent and it's white women who work there. They never called out my food and it got cold and when I went up they told me it was just sitting there and to grab it, but they forgot my drink. I know it's a busy shop but I left feeling like shit. read more
