My hubby, granddaughter and I tried Castroville Café and wow!! What an absolute gem in Castroville!…read moreWe ordered their vodka pasta (their house-made pink sauce) with chicken, along with their house salad topped with candied pecans and cranberries, and their house-made salad dressing it is to DIE FOR! oh and let's not forget their delicious homemade rolls. Everything was incredible. Even though it's a penne pasta dish, it wasn't heavy at ALL. The flavors were rich but not overwhelming, and we didn't feel weighed down after eating. And let me tell you the portion easily made two full meals. Truly worth every bite. This quaint little café serves real down-home cooking with so much heart behind it. We absolutely love it and highly, highly recommend Castroville Café if you're looking for comfort food done right. Great service!!

The 2 words have evolved into so much more, one would even dare to say it's even evolved into a belief or fantasy. When the Israelites wonder the dessert for 40 years i can only think they were doing to search for something. If cheba hut had existed at that time im sure those 40 years would have been cut short. The environment not only leaves a warm feeling but becomes a beacon! Cheba hut is what lamps are to moths, a light house to a sailor in a storm, a horse to a cowboy, a home run to a baseball player, a touchdown to tom Brady, a god to an atheist, a candle light in the darkness that is life. The staff and restaurant itself deserves so much more praise for the amazing and clean experience provided. If there was one word to describe Cheba hut, it would and could only be........ utopia. Cheers to the most amazing place on earth! Also lovely job to the management team!!

Very good subs! We'll definitely return. Service was also great. Looks like a cool bar area too.read more

When I tell you I love Jersey Mike's, I mean it in a deep, borderline-spiritual way. Not many know…read morethis, but during my college days, I managed a Jersey Mike's. I had a small, scrappy team of 12 who could whip up sandwiches faster than a Formula 1 pit crew. Those were wild times. We didn't just make sandwiches; we made giants-absurd, cartoonishly large creations. These were Scooby-Doo-level sandwiches: towering monstrosities where you'd need two hands, a spotter, and maybe an engineering degree just to take a bite. I swear, some of those subs looked like they were designed to fuel Olympic athletes for an entire season. And the meat? Oh, you'd think we were carving up slabs for a medieval feast. But I digress, let's snap back to why we're really here. Today, I ordered the #8 (Club Sub), a turkey and ham classic with provolone, bacon, mayo, and a crisp layer of lettuce and tomatoes. Now, let me be clear: I'm usually a #9 guy. The #9 is my sandwich soulmate, my ride-or-die sub, the one I'd defend in a court of law if it ever came to that. For reasons unknown, the app didn't let me select it, and I'll admit, there was a moment of panic. But then I looked at the #8, and I thought, "Alright, let's give you a go." And let me tell you--this sandwich was beautiful. The turkey was tender, the ham savory, and the bacon crisped to perfection. That mayo brought everything together, and the veggies were fresh enough to remind me of my mum's garden back in the day (a bit of an overstatement, but you get the point). I got it "Mike's Way," of course, because who wouldn't? The vinegar, olive oil, and seasoning drizzle made this sub sing like Sinatra on a good day. Picking it up in person added another layer to the experience. There's just something about walking into a Jersey Mike's. The atmosphere hits you like a warm wave of nostalgia--slicing machines humming in the background, the aroma of freshly baked bread in the air, and the hustle of the team working in perfect sandwich-making harmony. It's fast-paced, but not rushed, with a sense of order and camaraderie that feels oddly comforting. It's the kind of place that makes you feel like part of the process, even if all you're doing is watching from the counter. This Jersey Mike's team absolutely smashed it. Their focus and hustle reminded me of my own crew back in the day--working hard, probably having a laugh or two in between orders. So to those workers today: Enjoy your time with each other. These days may seem fleeting now, but someday, you'll look back and realize you were building something special--sandwiches and camaraderie alike. I'm proud of you lot. Keep making those subs with heart and pride. Five stars, no question.

Great for groups, families, or even a casual solo outing where you just want to sit back and enjoy good food without any pressure. Bonus points for the laid-back atmosphere--it's easy, it's fun, and it just works.

In Castroville, one of the places I visit most has to be Magnolia Filling Station, the only true…read morecoffee shop in town. It's small, always busy, and always slinging quality coffee. The shop is made from an old gas station that was converted into a cafe. They serve pastries along with a wide range of coffee beverages. I always find myself drawn to their seasonal drinks, which are usually themed around something fun. This year's holiday menu was Ice Age themed, but I remember last year being Shrek themed, and I think there was even a Top Gun themed menu at some point over the summer. For the Ice Age menu, I got a Manny which was a Chocolate Orange Mocha drink. I got it hot and it was great! The space inside is quiet, nice, and well lit. It's a great place to get work done. In the past, I've noticed the wifi could be tragically slow, which made some tasks difficult. During my most recent visit, though, I don't recall the wifi being slow at all, so it seems like that issue has been fixed. There is also plenty of outdoor seating if you get lucky with one of the three nice weather days in San Antonio. I really like the coffee here. For such a small shop, they do a great job, and it has become an essential stop for me every time I am in Castroville. RIYL: Coffee shops that are old gas stations but do not have a functional gas pumps anymore, so you don't accidentally get gasoline instead of a latte. I hate when that happens!!

You can taste the lemongrass but not overpowering. My favorite part of the bowl is the nuoc mam sauce that is poured over the warm noodles. Then you let it sit for a minute so the sauce is absorbed. Oh my Yum! Aside from the noodle bowl, we stop by once a week to grab my daughter's favorite mango slushy with lychee jelly. Such a delicious combination. The drink is smooth and not too sweet. We had the chance to try their mochi donuts before the machine broke. They are smaller than the mochi donuts that we usually buy from the other side of town. But their donuts are always fresh and the icing is not too sweet. It is sad that they don't make donuts anymore. I was heartbroken when the lady at the counter told me that they will stop making the donuts because they wont be replacing the donut machine. I'm so happy that this little gem opened up by my neighborhood amidst the fast food franchises. I hope for this business to thrive as we need more small businesses like Daily Banh Mi in the Potranco area that serves good food.

Always hate when food trucks sell out, though it is understandable. Friendly employees, ready to answer any questions regarding the menu. What did we choose tonight? *Fried Mushrooms were unsatisfying. Slacking on flavor, breading overpowered. *Southwest Turkey Melt Sandwich, full of creative ingredients. Avocado, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pico de gallo, and even some kettle chips! Turkey was tasty deli thin cut, flavors came together well. Texas Toast was grilled with the right amount of butter an oil (you know how often places serve it drenched in oil!). I will say that the cheese was a little firm and the sandwich a little lukewarm for a "melt". Chose *Potato Salad as the side, which was tastier than expected; appreciated that there was not as much mustard or vinegar as most. *Mushroom Swiss Burger ironically had cheese that was far more melted than the Turkey Melt. Which was awesome, of course. Fresh and flavored sliced mushrooms (unlike them fried ones), a tasty fat patty (moist, tender, maybe a little extra flavor needed), and buttery, slightly sweet buns. Overall excellent. Came with *Fries, which were satisfactory; some were burnt and dry. Dessert was a *Fried Twinkie with Raspberry Drizzle. Oh, it was heavenly.

It was not too busy. We were greeted right away and seated. Lucinda was super nice. The house is so cute. They have inside and outside seating. Parking is available on site. We shared a few items. We had the ceviche, the corn ribs, the shrimp scampi, and the pineapple cheesecake. Everything was delicious. The ceviche comes with housemade chips. When it comes out, it looks like it's a small portion, but it actually is a pretty good shareable size. The corn ribs were a hit. They have a little kick to them, but not too spicy. The shrimp scampi had great flavor. The cheesecake was delicious. It came topped with habanero sauce which gave it a little sweet and spicy taste. It was a great combination.

Unfortunately, the food and drinks didn't quite live up to the vibe. Parking was a bit of a nightmare to start. Once we got inside, the coffees and smoothies were surprisingly tiny for the price. The croissants tasted old and dry and were actually pretty tough to cut with a fork and knife. Fresh croissants should be flaky and pull apart easily, so that was disappointing. Most of the desserts were just okay. The chocolate on the large chocolate-covered strawberry tasted like a very low-grade chocolate, and the fruit tart lacked much flavor. The pistachio cake, however, was genuinely delicious and ended up being the standout of the table. Service was decent and the place is definitely cute, but overall the experience didn't quite match the hype I had hoped for--especially for a birthday brunch spot.
