We've never had bad service, a long wait, or any issues with our food every time we've come. The orchard sandwich was new for me this time and once again, 10/10. I loved the combination of the turkey with the crisp apples and the slight sweetness of the maple dressing. I love that they give you the option to change the bread types, I switched mine and I feel like it made it even better because that sandwich was packed and every flavor stood out instead of being majority bread. The pasta salad was also really good, my daughter ended up devouring it which shocked us because tomato soup is her favorite. If you're looking for a good lunch spot that's worth every penny, this is the place. Can't wait to go back next month.

The only reason for not coming back is the distance from my home and the awful 1604 and 10 traffic during all that construction. Today, I went with my wife and one of her friends who was visiting from Chicago on our way home from birding out at Guadalupe River State Park. I don't remember the first time well enough to comment on any changes. I had a hard time choosing a salad. Every single one of them sound fantastic. I finally went with the Mediterranean. All I can say is that it was a wonderful salad. The awesome young lady who prepared it for me used tongs to mix the Hoo Hah out of it. Not only was itt was super fresh, and but I could taste every one of the many ingredients in every bite. It also came in a HUGE bowl. It was what I call a "man salad". I was actually full when it was finished. The only downside of the meal was actually a very positive situation in my opinion. I thought my Sprite Zero tasted funny. My wife disagreed. Either way, I couldn't drink it. I asked a manager if I could get a new cup and explained the situation. She got a little cup and had one of her guys taste it. He agreed with me. Now, why is this a positive situation? That young man immediately got to work cleaning the nozzle in case there was anything in it that was tainting the soda. I have been in similar situations where they just give me a new cup and go right to work as if they didn't care. In this case, the manager and her worker scored major loyalty points! I am bringing my group back the first chance I get.

Minus the mayo for me and I could not stop eating it. The Mexican sourdough was so good that we went back and ordered 4 rolls to take home to Htown with us.

I discovered this place by accident at their downtown location and immediately fell in love with…read moreit. Everything looked amazing, and so much of it is made in-house. Since this location was closer, a friend and I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Mexican Cubana with lentil soup and a Banana Nut Matcha Latte. The Cubana was absolutely out of this world. Everything about it was perfect. The lentil soup was also very good, although my friend ordered the black bean soup, and I think I might have been missing out. LOL. The sandwich and soup are definitely on the higher end price-wise, but I wouldn't let that stop you. There is plenty of value in the meal, and the sandwich is incredibly hearty. Both my friend and I had to take half of ours to go, which is something I seldom do. The Banana Nut Matcha Latte, however, was not for me. At $7.50, I expected more and would probably skip it next time. The atmosphere was very nice. They have indoor and outdoor seating; the restaurant was very clean, and even though it was extremely busy, there was still enough room to move around comfortably. They also have a coffee bar that doubles as a regular bar. Unfortunately, the customer service experience is what brought my rating down to 3 stars--and I honestly considered giving it 2.5. I understand this was a busy Saturday morning, especially with the restaurant being near a major entertainment and shopping area. We waited in a line outside, which did not bother me. The bigger issue was what happened once we got inside. Everyone enters the same line, moving first through the pastry counter--AND THE PASTRIES ARE HEAVEN!--before eventually reaching the register to order and pay. You are then given a table number and your food is delivered to you. I've been to plenty of restaurants that operate this way, but the flow here felt unnecessarily chaotic. Everyone was placed into the same line regardless of whether they were dining in, ordering food to go, or simply stopping in for pastries. I think having separate service areas or lines could help tremendously. It was also obvious that some of the staff were overwhelmed by how busy things had become. Unfortunately, that frustration seemed to spill over into some customer interactions, and a few employees came across as less than warm or welcoming. It may simply have been a difficult morning, but it definitely affected our experience. The bright spot was having the opportunity to speak with the manager on shift, Ms. Charisma. She was professional, empathetic, and genuinely listened to my concerns. She did not make excuses or try to justify what happened. She offered to compensate us for our meal, which we declined, but I truly appreciated the gesture. I wasn't looking for a free meal. I wanted another great experience that would make me excited to come back. Before this visit, I had been to the downtown location twice, and both experiences were fantastic. I had actually considered it one of the best cafes I'd found in San Antonio so far. That's why this visit was especially disappointing. I was excited to introduce a friend to a place I enjoyed so much, only to have a very different experience. Maybe it is location-dependent. Maybe it was simply the time of day or an especially difficult Saturday morning. What makes it frustrating is that the food itself was outstanding--a perfect 10/10. I was completely satisfied with my meal, but the service experience made it difficult to fully enjoy it. The location is also great, in a newer shopping center near La Cantera Resort and Six Flags. Parking wasn't terrible, although weekends can be challenging. I imagine it would be much easier during the week. Overall: Food: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Service: Needs improvement Overall: 3/5 Thank you, Ms. Charisma, for taking the time to listen and for handling the situation with professionalism and empathy. Because of that interaction, I am willing to give this location another chance.

We were greeted with warm popovers and broth which alone are worth returning for. I ordered the salmon fish tacos with chips pico and salsa. They were excellent.

I couldn't help myself but immediately attack the garlic appetizer. So I apologize for the demolished garlic appetizer. I spoke with the chef and he said that the hummus is handmade, daily. Same thing with the flat bread that is served. The garlic appetizer is lovely as it is a refreshing starter with some bite to it. Garlic is very present so beware those who are not a fan of garlic. I do recommend with the olive oil as it adds a nice silky smooth texture. The fries served with the Gyro Wrap meal. We're crunchy and seasoned with paprika. A unique choice that I enjoy. As for the Star, the Gyro Wrap. It is served in a beautiful presentation. The meat is soft and very intense in flavor. The vegetables in the wrap are tender and add depth. The sauce which I assume is Tzatziki Sauce resembles the thickness of mayo which is different from other Tzatziki Sauce. I do love the freshness it adds to the wrap! The restaurant has only been open for 6 months which is impressive for the quality of food. Overall, I recommend having a try at this place!

We couldn't leave without dessert, and the baklava with honey and pistachio drizzle was out of this world--crispy, sweet, and just the right balance of richness. To top it all off, we enjoyed Turkish coffee that was bold, smooth, and the perfect ending to an amazing meal. Forgot to mention the freshly made Falafel, not pre made and frozen. The chef here makes everything from scratch with family recipes. From the food to the overall experience, everything was top-notch. Definitely a place we'll keep coming back to. There is a little bit of a wait for the food since everything is fresh from scratch. Bathroom is clean. Small interior but nicely decorated and two large screen TV's showing cooking videos which were very entertaining. Definitely worth a try.
