    Food is good, seating is tight, wait staff is on top of it, what is severely off is parking! It's horrible! If I'm wasting more money in gas trying to find a parking spot so I'm not parking by Target, & walking across crazy intersections to come to an establishment...I may go eat elsewhere. But I was with family. So, I sucked it up. Yes, I parked in the Target parking area & walked back over because the entire parking area was packed. Was the food THAT good? Um. No. It was ok. Will I return? No. That annoyed me. The other thing was the seating was so close the chairs were bumping one another. The people seated bumped, the children, the adults, us, them - everyone. It wasn't intentional & no one got ugly. It was just extremely cramped. For no reason. There was room for the tables to be spread out. It was badly planned. I felt horrible for the staff on top of it all. That's all the gripe'able stuff. I got French toast & bacon with orange juice & coffee. My cousin's got chocolate chip pancakes with bacon, & the Trifecta, chocolate milk, coffee & water. All with a tip came out to $65. (Tip was $10.45) So I guess you can judge based on the price. Worth it? ‍ Again, I'm sure I won't be back. It was okay. Just in my opinion, kinda stupid expensive for what we got. Seems to be very popular with people my cousins age. 30 somethings.

    Shrimp & Grits
    Vanessa A.

    Omg I loooved the Cajun shrimp & grits. It was so perfect. The service was super accommodating since we asked for a different table and they let us move. Our waiter was on it! The place was clean and it wasn't packed on a Sunday morning like I thought it would be. There's not a lot of parking because it shares with a hotel and the pho house but there's plenty of parking across the street.

    Choose 2 Lunch special $11.99
    Lisa K.

    Morning of 4th of July we were a little worried we would have a wait.. thankfully we didn't! They got our party of 4 in right away. Everyone we came in touch with were very friendly. They do have a great menu. Lots of choices from a new Lemon Blueberry corn bread to Shrimp and Grits. Great lunch deal Choose 2 for $11.99 .. they have 5-6 1/2 sandwiches, 3-4 salads and 2 soups to choose from. I got the Roast beef with horseradish half sandwich- it was wonderful, stuffed to the brim, great touch melting cheese on outside of the bread. Also did the Honey Pecan chicken half salad with a light vinegar dressing. We all enjoyed our food. The issue was the dirty dishes. We were brought plates for the cornbread and mine still had food on it. Not just a little. My daughter's water cup had lip marks that were CLEAR.. someone with lipstick on had clearly used that glass. It made eating a little hard because every time something was brought out I would look at the plate or check the new cup to see if it was clean. The guy apologized but it didn't make that any better. Atmosphere was nice. Service good. Food was good but none of us ate much after seeing the dirty dishes and just worried. I don't see myself going back there. One dirty dish - mmm ... but a glass with clear lipstick marks... no.

    Been here several times now, by myself , with family and co-workers. It's a great place with lots of great food options. I have never been disappointed! Try their million dollar bacon! The waffle compote is delicious. And their options are always fresh! Coffee is pretty good too! Don't forget their special drink selection, you won't be disappointed, they are refreshing! Service is always quick, even if it takes a bit to be seated. You might wait about 30-60mins for a table. But they work pretty quickly. The environment is very friendly and clean!

    Biscuits & Turkey Sausage Gravy with a small mixed fruit
    Stephanie B.

    First time to this place and the portions are large and tasteful. The gravy on the biscuit has a smoked taste plus the biscuit was very large. Also the fruit was all good none of it was bitter or sour. I got the small but large bowl of fruit is the size of the soup bowl. The sandwich is very filling stuffed with turkey, bacon, and greens. The soup was hearty. Looking around the plates are large and will fill you up. I also got a Lavender drink with Amsterdam vodka that itself was good. They brought it in a separate glass container with a small glass of ice. I filled my small glass three times so worth it. The atmosphere was nice and calming for the morning/ brunch. I would return on another day.

    Market Hash
    Kathy L.

    Line is out the door but we were seated quickly. Their "lobby" is soo small and has two doors soo not many places to wait! Otherwise the waitress is nice and was fast and attentive. Food: I got a farm house hash and there was more hash (potatoes) than anything else. I think I seen 4 pieces of zucchini or mushroom but a lot of onion and potatoes. I was expecting a little more than just a taste of mushrooms or zucchini. Otherwise farmhouse vibes and cute decor. Very fast paced and quick to get you in and out

    Kids Bacon & Egg
    Gabriela G.

    Lacks attention to detail. Requested sourdough bread yet they gave me wheat. I also ordered the kids egg & bacon plate and paid extra to add an egg but it appeared as only one egg.

    Farmhouse skillet

    Charming farmhouse vibes in the building. Nice selection of different juices. a better breakfast experience than your typical cafe. I mean they butter the toast for you what else could you ask for

    Blazing Dragon Power Drink!
    Brian B.

    Wait time was about 20 min but what do you expect on a Saturday? Started with Blazing Dragon Power Drink : strawberry, lemon, cane sugar, and Dragon Fruit! Awesome! Salted Caramel Donut holes as an appetizer! YES PLEASE! Warm, sweet puffs of delight Farmhouse Skillet and an order of Breakfast tacos for me! Can't go wrong here. Everything is fresh and cooked to order.

    Trifecta but with two pancakes instead of one.
    Aaron R.

    Great food. Very filling. I had the trifecta with the blueberry pancake and chocolate pancake, over hard eggs and bacon. And let me tell you, the pancakes had crisp on the top. It was cooked very well. It wasn't soggy like other places I've been too. Definitely surpasses Cracker Barrel pancakes by far. The bacon was cooked crispy with a slight glaze of some sort. Haha off to the cook on that one. Now the eggs; I had them over hard and the eggs were very fluffy. Very different than the eggs I typically eat. Perhaps this is what real eggs taste like compared to store bought. The eggs had a high profile of like 10mm or so. The knife cuts well into the eggs making a distinct separation of how well these eggs were cooked. The atmosphere is chill. They had some indie pop music playing which is really nice. Our waitress was very kind when it came to ordering. She made some recommendations to hone down on what I really wanted. The pancakes are very filling that even I couldn't finish them and I typically have a large appetite. I highly recommend this place. This is place that I will continue to frequent because of how good the food was.

    Had a short stay in San Antonio and a group of us (5) decided on First Watch for breakfast, which I love in Houston. I must say this First watch from an ambiance and decor perspective is much nicer than anyone I've been to back home. The service was great and every employee had a smile to offer. Our waitress although she never offered her name was an absolute pleasure, she was extremely efficient with our request. I ordered the Smoked Salmon omelette which I was weary of because....uhm who puts fish in eggs? She assured me it was great. I bet to differ, The omelette was incredible, the egg was cooked fluffy but not runny and pair beautifully with the flavor and tenderness of the salmon. Every bite warrant a moan of appreciation for how amazing this dish was. This will be my go to breakfast order at first watch from now on.

    Million Dollar Bacon is always a must !! Delicious
    Marisol F.

    Always amazed at the menu that changes and I try something new all the time. The staff is always friendly.

    Farmers skillet - yum!

    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.

    Ok, second time in, and it continues to bring me back to Europe. The staffs hospitality, friendly…read morewelcome... I know a big name bakery opened up around the corner on Houston. For us it's good but screens tourists. La Baoulangerie is small, cozy, and a European feel. Then the food, come on now! You taste the homemade love.

Downtown residence, if you haven't gone your missing out (from a guy who lives in Europe 3-4 months out of the year) Tourist... You will thank me later.

Now if you don't want to walk the hotel has the best restaurants: Dorregos and Acenar. You can not go wrong with the restaurants. The breakfast plates were amazing and the Mexican food was delicious.

We were very happy and pleased with everything here.

    Sensory nightmare. My husband called months in advance and twice more leading up to checkin to…read morerequest fragrance free and feather free room. They insisted they could accommodate us. In the lobby for checkin today, I had an instant headache because the fragrance was so strong. At that point they informed us that there is some additional fee per day on top of the already pricey room, a fee that they never disclosed before today. We continued upstairs, and I could hardly breathe in the elevator it was so scented. When we got to the room it was also heavily fragranced. I tried to call the front desk, and the phone in the room didn't work reliably. Our call dropped several times. They offered box fans for us to air out the room. However, when we opened the windows, a blast of cigarette smoke wafted into the room because it is directly above their designated smoking area. We asked the front desk for help, and they said not to worry, hardly anyone smokes in that area. Meanwhile we watched several people out there smoking almost constantly. They offered no other accommodation or help. Not worth it. Very uncomfortable and upset because this will ruin our vacation. Edit: 1 to 3 stars. The manager eventually heard our concerns, responding to a secondary issue with cigar smoke in our room after leaving windows open - their recommendation- to air out the room. They found us a different accommodation and made it more than fair and comfortable. Why not 4 stars? Because it took the entire first day to be resolved.
