Yesterday, Texas was under amber alerts for thunderstorms and heavy rains. In route from Austin to…read moreSan Antonio, TX I had to stop to get out of the rain (quite unusual for Texas). I stopped at Dos Gatos for coffee and also picked up a few sweet treats for later (wink, wink!) Dos Gatos, which I believe means two cats, is a shop for "on the go" folks...no inside seating and small space. The shop focuses on fast service, and fresh baked goods, with kolaches baked daily. Dos Gatos has a variety of items such as sweet kolaches with traditional fillings like apricot, poppy seed, strawberry, raspberry, and cream cheese. They have savory kolaches such as sausage and cheese, jalapeño sausage, chorizo, ham and cheddar, and vegetarian sausage options. The turkey sausage kolache was the standout...sometimes called a pig in the blanket. One downside of the sweet kolaches is they are rather small. I forget how small they were until my hubby mentioned also. A surprise bonus was their full espresso bar, which includes lattes, cappuccinos, mochas, chai, cold brew, etc. Pricing was at the low end of the spectrum. I purchased coffee, sweet and savory kolaches.

Just in case your favorite is still baking or sold out before you got here. Got my heart's desire of a cherry kolache and a ham and swiss for breakfast. Mr R selected a lone vegetarian sausage with cheese and jalapeño and we sat in happy silence consuming warm plates of joy. Breakfast for two adults $15

For our first time, we had the brie appetizer to start. Wowzers! An entire brie wheel, covered in almonds with beautifully soft marbled bread. It would easily satisfy a party of four.

Our server was wonderful, friendly and so helpful. Great German ambiance. Small authentic German restaurant. Come hungry, come ready for an awesome treat.

Dinner consisted of Cesar salad, cheesy bread and lasagna. Salad was spot on with an interesting tanginess. I enjoyed it. Just don't think about it. Get it... I'm referring to the cheesy bread. I usually don't like marinara sauce on the side. This with the bread was outstanding. Let's talk about the lasagna. The marinara was a tad bland. But the components of the lasagna come together very nicely. To be honest a very good meal. Not the best in the world. But worth having. So get in your car and give this place a chance. I've often said a server makes the meal sing. That is definitely true here. Enjoy: the fat man did!

I started out with a Franzbrötchen, a German style cinnamon roll, and a cortado. Both were a great start while waiting for one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had in a while. The sandwich I chose comes with bacon, beer cheese, fluffy eggs, and Russian dressing on a beautifully toasted Bavarian croissant. I also had to try a side of their duck fat potatoes, fried golden brown with smoked duck fat, whipped confit garlic butter, and fresh thyme. This was an excellent meal with great service, and I would highly recommend checking them out if you're ever in the area.

The staff were all attentive and nice; the table decor was obviously DIY crafted but it was still cute and creative! The flavor was severely lacking in all of our entrees. The portions were also really small, like, almost Lunchables-sized. My friend ordered Kiki's cake and it was pretty dry. There was not a non-chocolate option, as someone who hates it, which was fine. I was going to give my friend the other dessert but they were able to sub it for a pastry from the counter. The drinks, however, were very well done. I would love to see those as regular staples on the menu. Even though the calcirita was incredibly smoky, like, "coal in your lungs"-type sensation, it was at least still on theme. I would suggest doing cocktail that can be temporarily lit on fire or it comes in a glass dome with a "smoke-like" effect instead if repeating the theme. I will consider coming back one more time for their regular menu but I don't know that it was worth driving down again soon.
