Love the ambiance here and the merchandise for sale I got myself a cute bag as a reminder of my visit here. The cold brew coffee was delicious so was the brookie I got. Freshly baked pastries, coffee, cold drinks and more. They have many gift items and kitchen supplies that are great quality. Located inside the beautiful Emma hotel. A great place to get your cup of coffee any time of the day. The service was ok I honestly expected friendlier service. Other than that all was good.

Latte and butternut squash soup on the patio
Marcos D.

One year later and I'm still lurking at the Pearl and the Larder is perfect place for a latte on a cold, for San Antonio, rainy day. An always delicious latte with great and friendly service perfect tonic for a gloomy day!

Larder is a hit or miss for me. Sometimes I get good quality. Sometimes I don't. I have worked at the Pearl for around 3 years. Today was the Farmers Market and there's a lot of traffic. I decided to sit in Larders today with my plate of food where I was approached by the manager, I guess. Was a female, low ponytail, bangs, and lip stud on her lower lip. She told me that there was no out door food or drinks allowed. I was puzzled because no one had ever approached me in 3 years however I don't always choose to eat here. I expressed that her and she stated that they are cracking down now. I complied, "I asked if I could sit outside with my food on the patio. She apologized and said, "no". I get it. Rules are rules. However I was the only one asked to leave and there where couples with their drinks from Supper and other people with their food from the food hall- food from. Chilaquil I would have liked for the rules to apply to everyone.

Convenient place to pick up a snack or beverage, including beer and wine. They have a large selection of canned beer in the back of the back of the shop. There is also a coffee bar inside offering pastries and food. You can take alcoholic beverages outside the 4 blocks area surrounding Hotel Emma as they have an open container policy. .|\---/| | o_o | .\_^_/..2021

Wrong hours of operation
Olga A.

This was my 3rd stop at a coffee shop posting hours of operation on Friday starting at 6am (snip below). But I arrived at 6:50am to find the gate of the shop closed, and when I asked a man-cashier, he told me they were not open till 7am. Though, I told the advertised hours said 6am. He wasn't interested in finding out where this info was posted, but instead repeated again that they would be open at 7am. I told him I drove all the way as my 3rd stop and last hope to get coffee as I needed to be at work at 7am and couldn't wait longer, but he could care less and repeated again they would be opened at 7am. What a waste of time, the man lacked listening skills and definitely no empathy.

Iced Lavender latte
Madison M.

Loved getting coffee here. This place is like a very nice convenience store that has a coffee shop and pastries. It's like a hidden gem. Service was great! The aesthetics is great, like an old library. As far as the coffee, I have high standards for lavender lattes and they really met my expectations. It was great! they had milk alternatives and pebble ice for the coffee (my favorite). Highly recommend this place.

Good coffee, slightly unfortunate name. I've been to Larder a couple of times--once for a cup of coffee, and another for a tasty lunch. The staff is pretty friendly and it also doubles as a small convenience store (albeit more expensive than your local Valero). Their lemonade is perfect for a hot day, and the sandwich was super filling. I only managed to eat half before taking the rest home. And the thing I was most excited to eat later? This MASSIVE fudgy brownie. It was one of those perfect brownies that reminded me of a gourmet Little Debbie brownie. Dense. Fudgy. In need of a cigarette and a nap afterward. Coffee shops are not a revolutionary idea, especially when you're traipsing about at The Pearl. But out of towners (or even staycationers) staying at Hotel Emma can't go wrong picking up a fine brew and treat at Larder.

Gifts for foodies
Brie G.

Go here. Ask for a brown butter s'mores rice krispie treat. Swoon. Pay for it. Enjoy every bite of it. This shop has a nice selection of treats, snacks, lunch items, grocery items, drinks, etc. The staff was friendly and helpful as we tried to figure out what to eat. I would also stop by here if you were looking for a gift for a foodie as they had a nice selection of different olive oils, hot sauces, etc. It's a nice addition to The Pearl!

Diana G.

If you want a snack or a drink while staying at the hotel, this is your place. The beer is the same price as in the hotel Ice box, so don't go out of your way to try to save money. $3 per can of pearl beer. The store has a combination of dry goods and deli/ pastry items. They sell coffee too. The staff is great. The big plus is that it is easily accessed through hotel Emma.

Friday mornings on your day off are spent at Larder at Hotel Emma!

It's a must if you like German food and are on the riverwalk. Trust me...don't waste your time on…read moreother places. So few are good but this has been a staple since 1917. To remain that long in anything, they have to be doing something right. The Reuben is a perfect Reuben as you'd expect. The chicken and dumplings are a good hidden gem, especially if it's cold or you're hung over. The hefeweizen on tap is the bomb. The breaded cutlets...all of them...pork, veal, and chicken are fantastic. The deviled eggs are purely what you'd expect. The atmosphere is pristinely German. The German chocolate cake is delicious. The potato salad is very good and nothing funky. This place is exactly perfectly German and if you know...you know. Don't forget the homemade root beer.

I really wanted to enjoy this restaurant, especially being German myself and always looking forward…read moreto authentic German cuisine. Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing, which is why I'm giving 3 stars. I ordered the veal Schnitzel with mushroom gravy (Jägerschnitzel) and red cabbage. The gravy had a strange gelatin-like consistency and lacked the rich flavor you'd expect from a proper Jäger sauce. The veal was extremely chewy and honestly made me feel ill afterward. The red cabbage was also very undercooked and completely lacked flavor. Overall, I personally did not find the food authentic or representative of true German cooking. What truly saved this experience was the outstanding customer service. Our server, Joseph, was attentive, professional, and genuinely kind throughout the meal. I also greatly appreciated Mr. Adam, the kitchen manager, who personally came out to discuss my concerns. He handled the constructive criticism with professionalism and openness, and I truly respected the fact that he listened carefully and considered my feedback regarding the sauce. Although I wouldn't personally return for the food, Joseph and Mr. Adam turned what could have been a terrible experience into one where I still felt valued as a customer. Their professionalism absolutely deserves recognition.

Beacon Hill Market and Deli rests easy, like a good saddle that's seen its share of miles and still…read morefits just right. It's the kind of place folks drift into and, before long, start calling their own. The people there carry themselves with quiet pride--no fuss, no show--just a steady hand at their work and a genuine welcome for whoever steps through the door. The menu ain't thrown together. It's been shaped with care, like a well-tuned string on a guitarra, each choice meant to stand on its own but better still when taken together. The flavors come through bold and honest, with a little flourish here and there--nothing overdone, just enough to remind you somebody back there knows what they're about. It's a small spot, sure, but that only draws folks closer. Feels a bit like gathering under a shaded porch after a long day--easy talk, shared laughter, and the sense you're among friends, whether you've known 'em years or just met 'em. Every greeting carries the warmth of old ties, like you've been welcomed back rather than simply let in. And the food--well, it doesn't hold back. Each bite's got a richness that settles in and makes you slow down, take notice, and then go back for more. It's the kind of meal that stays with you, the way a good story does. Spend a little time there with friends, and you'll come away knowing you've found something true--a place where the spirit of San Antonio, with its charro heart and neighborly ways, lives on in every plate set down and every hand extended in welcome.

Unpopular opinion incoming: I'm not overly impressed. A good sandwich is one of my favorite things,…read moreso this joint's been on my radar for a while. So, when co-workers wanted to go yesterday, I jumped on it. Don't get me wrong. I love the vibe of this place. I LOVE their story. It's very NY/Northeastern deli feel (they're from Pittsburgh, but you get my drift, right!?). No nonsense. Small inside area. No tables inside. Just enough room to look at the menu, order, and go wait outside. I opted for the chicken bacon ranch on hoagie. What came out was a decent size sandwich, but incredibly messy and soggy. There was so much juice/ liquid the sandwich quickly became unmanageable and just disintegrated. Look, if you're going to serve a sandwich that messy, please upgrade your napkins. It was a one bite - two napkin ratio. The sandwich was good, but the mess and difficulty eating it just took away any enjoyment. Additionally, the flies outside rivaled the worst I've experienced. Do you remember the scene in the Lost World, Jurassic Park movie when the hunters found the Rex nest!? Okay, okay, maybe not that bad, but it was a lot. Hang some fly bags or strips or somethin'. Found price to be a little high. By the time I bought chips and a drink, plus tip: $22. Just FYI: my co-worker disagrees. He thought it was the BEST SANDWICH HE'D EVER HAD. So, yes, go give them a try, but bring a beach towel for clean up.

I passed this on the way to my assignment location and began researching this spot. Some google…read morereviews mentioned they are F1 fans and Ferrari people. So I knew I had to check them out. I was able to make my way here on my last day in San Antonio in late March thanks to my flight being delayed and my oh my, I am quite impressed! The older gentleman taking my order at the counter gave me a big smile when I mentioned I heard you have this thing called the serious sandwich here. He told me that they do and then stated "You won't regret ordering it, seriously." Chuckling, I decided on a half order of that along with a side of potato salad and their side of beans. After taking my first bite, I realized the gentleman was right. This is a dope sandwich! Excellent cured meats in the salamar and pair of hams along with the provolone and melted cheddar with the veggies, spices, italian dressing, and mustard. The bread they use holds up well and has a slight crunch to it. If you prefer your bread to have softness to it, you may have to ask if they can substitute a different bread instead of the italian flat bread they use. But I absolutely love this sandwich the way it is! As for the sides, the potato salad has a slight mustard taste and right consistency with a dash of paprika on top; just the way I like it. The beans are charro beans (I think) that are served steaming hot with some pork trimmings mixed in; I may have dipped my sandwich in it a couple times for flavor explosion. What can I say, I'm adventurous! There's some ferrari memorabilia and posters on the right side where some of the high top seating is. As a Ferrari F1 fan, I appreciate them displaying this here along with the track map of the COTA circuit in Austin. The seating area is spread out nicely with plenty of seats/tables and a drink station with some random signs up. All of interest to consumers like us. Definitely recommend coming here for either the serious sandwich or other delicious ones like their meatball sandwich or manhattan. I can't wait to come back and try the other ones but I may just stick with the serious sandwich cause I loved it. SERIOUSLY!

The second time, I saw the reviews with 'skimpy meat' so ordered extra meat. They have chips, garden salad, mac salad, potato salad, etc. We were pleased. They put "dressing" (oil & vinegar m) on the sandwiches, which made them hard to eat, even in the car, so waited until we got home. Service was friendly. Did not eat in but used restroom.

Avoided due to anticipated problems with parking…read more Pearl is so filled with affected and editorial instagram locals in some sort of daily cosplay of care free affluence when in fact many are broke as hell. There are others mainly business class or tourists but they stay at Hotel Emma and definitely have money, or their employer's corporate card. Then there are the real carb eating customers who are there to actually consume goods. I finally had a free weekday to go to Pullnam now two years after they opened and loved my experience. Parking in the Pullman market was easy. It really is $0 with validation and for up to 2 hours. I was looking for ground flax, they only had whole. Looking for cinnamon infused honey, they did not have. Just weird shit like lavender infused. I enjoyed the elevated feel of the place, very transporting and nicely curated with so many spaces in and out doors to sit and people watch or just hang out with friends.

The store itself is very cute with different sections, seating areas, food vendors to select from, and connects to actual restaurants. The mediocre review is for the "Burgers by the Butcher" place towards the end of the store. The Wagyu burger sounded really good and had good reviews, but it was really dry and not very flavorful. Usually Wagyu is known to be juicy and moist, but this tasted nothing like that caliber. It was disappointing but at least not very pricy. Fries were okay but pretty chopped up and not the style I prefer. Some of the other places looked promising like the ice cream and cafe. The poke/ceviche also sounded good on paper but when we walked by (maybe around 1.5-2 hours before closing), the quality of the raw fish didn't look too great and was a little discolored so we passed. The store itself was very cute and had lots of nice and unique products.
