I first tried out some individual macarons at a local event and ended up ordering a dozen mix of…read morethree flavors. I have tried out the Ube, Taro, Kona Coffee, and Lilikoi (Passionfruit). All are simply amazing in their own right but the Ube has taken the favorite so far. The Kona Coffee is nearly tied right behind it and has a very deep and rich coffee taste from the actual Kona Coffee which makes it good to take small bites while sipping on some coffee. The filling is a very generous amount compared to most other macarons stores where they just put a very thin layer of filling inside. It is enough that you get a generous amount with each bite you take and can tell a difference in the shell and filling textures. The shells are nice and firm on the outside but super soft on the inside. Works perfectly with the filling to have a soft and chewy bite each time that bursts with flavor.

The breakfast quiche is divine and one of my favorites. I could go on and on about the bakery items so you'll have to come check em out for yourself! It's usually fairly busy so the service feels a tad rushed sometimes but the employees are friendly. There are plenty of tables, inside and out. There are usually folks working on laptops or just reading peacefully. Stop by, grab something yummy, and enjoy the Pearl area!

I was in the area running a lengthy errand, so I decided to stop by and pick up an assortment of…read moretreats for family and clinic staff I would be visiting that day. The staff behind the counter was very patient with my large order and answering all my questions. I chose a GF coffee cake, chocolate cake slice, some cookies, and a few scones. I appreciated the GF options. I only kept the scones for myself to munch on during the day and they were delicious. They had many flavor choices, birthday funfetti, maple cinnamon, etc. and were good sized. I was the only person there when I visited during the week. I imagine they're busier on the weekends. I would definitely stop by again for a pastry, a coffee, and a little shopping!

After a exploring Kerrville for the first time, my friend and I decided to find a place for coffee…read moreand cake. A quick search led us to Wild Flour Bakery within The Ridge Marketplace. All of the cakes, cupcakes, chocolates and ice cream were made in the shop and you could watch as they did it. Everything looked absolutely delicious within the display case! They also supply the desserts for the Cafe at the Ridge which is next door. You can actually order your desserts and such at either place. We ordered our coffee (just plain coffee) at the Cafe and then grabbed a slice of carrot cake with two scoops of ice cream from the bakery. Everything was delicious, the woman behind the counter was very sweet and I loved being able to watch them whip up all the tasty treats! The seating area was kept very clean and it had a nice view of the surrounding marketplace. I would definitely go back and try more items!

First of all, I must admit I don't even have a sweet tooth and don't actually eat baked goods on a…read moreregular basis. So for a bakery to get a 5 star from me, they must be doing something right! I got to taste Joyce's cake and meet her in person at a recent Yelp Unofficial Event (UYE) I organized for the Chinese New Year. Joyce attended the UYE and graciously brought a triple chocolate cake she made in her own kitchen! The cake was an instant hit at our event. I personally appreciated the cake for being not overly sweet. If you know me or read my reviews, you will know I hate things that are too sweet!! But that chocolate cake was just right! If you think I gave her bake shop a 5 star b/c she gifted our event a cake, then you are so wrong! I have personally done business with Joyce to warrant my truthful statement. So when I heard about her macaroon offerings, I placed an order immediately. I've tried other business in town for macarons but wasn't satisfied. I had to try Joyce's version b/c she specializes in French baking! The macarons were $2 each and they were great. I got so many flavors and my personal favorite is the almond one b/c it was light and delicious! But Joyce thought they weren't her best so she offered to change up ingredients and let me try more! Geez! I got to know Joyce on a more person level when she came to hand deliver my order. I learned that she is very passionate about baking and her dream is to open her own bakery! But for now she bakes everything in her own kitchen and strives to provide the best products with limited space and resources. What impresses me the most is Joyce's professionalism. She prides in her baked goods, genuinely cares about her customers' satisfaction and constantly seeks feedback to improve her baking skills and products. So if you order from Joyce, you will know for sure that you are dealing with a honest business and are eating cakes with the best ingredients she could possibly find (no butter and no preservatives!). I also had the pleasure to try another cake and some Lebanese cookies from her for my birthday (thanks so much to Luly!). The cake was so pretty and tasted great! I only wish I had more room to eat one more piece of cake after a big Bday dinner. The cookies were so light and refreshing. My favorite is the one with date. The pistachio one probably needed more work. But where else in a city like San Antonio could you find Lebanese cookies, seriously? Most recently, I had the pleasure to try Joyce's Macaron cakes in cup! What is that, you might ask. I didn't know either. It is a new item that Joyce came up with when she was trying to save the macarons from turning soggy. Genius! It is a hybrid of macaron and cake served in a cup! We all know hybrid food are so popular nowadays from Cronuts to Ramen Burgers. This macaron cake in a cup tasted so fresh and natural, not overly sweet at all! WOW! If you don't believe me, ask Chef Roland at Stella Public House! He got to try this new invention as well and raved about it!!! In a bi-cultural city where you are either tex or mex, other culture and food is a breath of fresh air! Joyce's cake bake shop is a great example of bringing diversity to this city! With Joyce's international cultural background and her vision, passion and unique approach on baking, she must succeed! And if a business like Joyce's bake cake shop prospers, then I will have more faith in San Antonio moving towards the direction of becoming a world class city!

This place is in a great spot for foot traffic because of all the other places next to it. When you walk in there are tons of chocolates, cakes, macarons;etc. I took a look around the whole shop just to see what they offer and I have to say the options seemed almost limitless. I did like that they had gifting chocolates already out. After walking around, I ended up just buying the Kanafeh & Pistachio Taco which was a whopping $14.00 ! I do have to say for the size of the taco, I don't believe it's worth that much. Don't get me wrong it was very delicious and can appreciate how much of the mixture they tried to put in it, but the chocolate ended up being too much for me. Now to talk about the service, this is where things were a little awkward since the 2 employees were having a conversation the female was loudly talking about how she was pissed that things had to be done a certain way and complaining about doing stickers or something to the male, when I tell you I heard the entire conversation.... I heard the entire thing. Just my 2 cents, if you're going to complain about anyone that has to do with the business maybe be a little quieter with customers around or wait until they leave.

I liked how they had each area sectioned off. My son and his girlfriend got a bag and started to pick out what they wanted. My husband and I did the same. I wasn't sure what to expect. It was a hit or miss on taste. The Champaign gummy bears were pretty hard to chew. They tasted like they'd been sitting there awhile. We also picked out some chocolate bears that had a very tart inside, not a fan. Everything else was pretty tasty. I liked the white chocolate covered Oreos and chocolate covered cherries. We also tried some round candies that tasted like birthday cake. Overall, I would definitely come back but out more thought into what I want to try. I let my eyes tell me what I wanted to try. Lol

To say that these are gluten-free is crazy, they taste so delicious and the flavor and texture do not elude to what you find in most gluten-free pastries. The sweet potato sticky pecan bun was so delicious, especially a little bit warm with some black coffee. It is so soft and moist with just the right amount of sweetness, you would think that it would be overwhelmingly sweet, but it wasn't, it was perfect. And the carrot cake muffin was equally amazing with a hint of sweet cream cheese, tucked away in the middle of the muffin popping out to give you a sweet kiss. The service is always amazing and I love the rustic, yet modern feel they have curated to blend right in to Boerne culture.

We went back to the river but on another day I wouldn't mind reading and writing there. Very friendly staff and lots of quality treats.
