Had this spot bookmarked for awhile & what better time to check it off by having a celebratory lunch with my mom visiting from out of state! I ordered the BLAT sandwich but instead of bacon, I replaced with cheese. This came with chips & a cookie. The bread I wanted focaccia & I wanted the half soup half sandwich but since the focaccia is, according to employee baked at a bigger portion I couldn't do that. So ended up ordering a side of their poblano soup. I should have asked what the spice level on that was as it was a bit too spicy for me. The sandwich was delicious! The chips were yummy & wow that cookie was amazing! Very rich, did not skimp out on the size of it nor the chocolate chips! For drink I had a cappuccino which was okay. There is a self-serve water & tea station right before the dining area including lemon wedges which I appreciated. I would not hesitate to come back!! read more

The Bread Box - Bakeries Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

So I was not impressed with the customer service, we were asked if we had been here before and I stated no, I was told to go to the counter and order.... Order what? Had to ask twice for a menu. The dining room is absolutely adorable and the food was delicious. Just work on customer greetings. Cute place that I can see visiting often. read more

Found this charming little gem while desperately searching for a nearby brunch restaurant before reaching hangry level lol. I could not be more grateful to have discovered the bread box! Absolutely wonderful experience and THEE cutest little tea house aesthetic ever! Service was absolutely wonderful and the food was so so sooooo delicious!! My husband and I had recently had a patty melt so it was on my mind and it was left in the dust (immediately) after I tried the patty melt here at bread box! A must try!! It comes with a pickle and the most delicious, crispy, and airy fries! I also ordered the bread pudding French toast and OMG! Please order this! You're welcome! I took one piece home for my husband and he wanted more. My 1yr old daughter devoured her piece and my pickle as well, lol. My sis orders the "Benito" which is an eggs Benedict dish. It has jalapeño and a tasty little kick! I will be returning here A LOT! Can't wait to return! They have so many options on the menu as well as pastries and bread for sale! Highly recommend BB! read more

Visited the bread box with my friends a couple of weeks ago; it is located in a cute boutique mall with plenty of parking. The restaurant itself is a little small but has a private room for reservations and the decorations are cute and kitschy. It's definitely a place to host events like birthday parties and girls' afternoon out. The tea was great - I liked that they let us choose two flavors and kept our teacups full. The food was great; I really enjoyed the chicken salad sandwich and the brookies. My only complaints are that the A/C was either not on or not cooling the restaurant much, we were sweating indoors. The restrooms are also located outside in a shared building with the other businesses, but theyre like regular restrooms otherwise. I definitely recommend this place if you are wanting to try out high tea for the first time or if you're wanting to take your kids out - the prices are very reasonable and there's fresh baked pastries and breads to take home available as well :) read more

The Bread Box - Bakeries Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Bread Box is a quirky spot, with a winding, cramped layout, and a patio that would benefit from a power wash. We tried the crispy chicken sandwich and the egg and bacon breakfast. The bread (bun and toast) was good, and the chocolate chip cookie that came with the chicken sandwich was baked perfectly and scrumptious. Unfortunately, the restaurant's chicken supplier is doing the Box - and diners - a disservice. The breaded chicken breast was sinewy, and difficult to chew. This was a shame, because the flavor was solid - a bit of spice and savory. The eggs and bacon were good but underwhelming, as was the oversized marshmallow square we added on last minute. Unfortunately, I can't recommend the Bread Box. read more

The Bread Box is such a gem in San Antonio! The vibe is super cute--bright, welcoming, and perfect for a casual meal or a little treat. I ordered the burger, and it was so good. The fries were tasty too, the perfect pairing. It came with their chocolate chip cookie, and wow... it was everything you want a chocolate chip cookie to be--soft, chewy, and full of rich chocolate. I also grabbed some bread and a sweet treat to take home, which was the best decision because their baked goods are just as amazing as the meal itself. We had a reservation, and I'd definitely recommend making one as made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Already looking forward to my next visit! read more

We stopped by The Bread Box for a late lunch and were lucky to make it in before they closed at 3, hence the quiet dining room. The food was absolutely worth the trip! I had the smash burger, which came on a fresh, perfectly toasted bun with crispy battered fries: crunchy on the outside and soft inside. It also came with a giant chocolate chip cookie that I saved for later. My husband ordered the honey butter chicken biscuit; it was flavorful but a little on the greasy side. We also grabbed a cinnamon roll and pan de muerto to go, both were delicious! We'll definitely be back. read more

Little to no seasoning. If there had been any, the food would have not tasted bland. The service was wonderful and very attentive. The ambiance of The Bread Box was lovely but a bit over decorated...like grandma's house. lol read more

Great food, excellent service, small venue. I recommend for an intimate meal or quiet brunch.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of grabbing lunch at The Bread Box, a quaint little gem nestled in The Alley on Bitters. This beautiful restaurant exceeded my expectations with its exceptional customer service and scrumptious food. I opted for the sandwich special of the day, The Shark, which was a generous portion of various meats - a bit overwhelming for my taste buds, but not bad. It came with chips and a cookie, the latter being a chocolate chip masterpiece that left me in awe, it was soo delicious!! **THE STARS** I purchased 2 of their coffee cakes to try for breakfast this morning. They had a regular cinnamon one and a strawberry one. HOLY SMOKES when I tell you this is the absolute BEST coffee cake I have tried !! You guys need to try it. I warmed them up this morning and tried a little of both ... soo yummy and moist!! I am eager to return and try their chicken salad, which I originally wanted to try but got distracted by the daily special... read more

Fantastic baked bread and pastries! Place was recommended by a friend as I've been searching for delicious sourdough bread. Love that I can place an order and swing by for a pickup. They also have some cute decorated cakes (which you do need to place orders for) as well as full pies for purchase! Bought a coconut cream to go and they are generous enough to label it with "Happy Birthday". Lovely place! read more

The Bread Box - Sourdough Boule....so fresh! - Bakeries Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This is the cutest place to grab breakfast, brunch or lunch! Bring the family or a group of friends, this place is perfect for simply catching up with friends or celebrating a special occasion. The inside is picturesque perfect for a tea party. They have cute table settings, beautiful plates and platters, a colorful interior and wonderful food. I tried the smash burger and it was perfectly juicy, paired with crispy fries (the best fries in my opinion) and a chocolate chip cookie. This is the sort of place you order at the counter and seat yourself. They keep it very clean, from the tables and chairs to the lighting fixtures. I feel as if so many places these days, forget that you need to dust the ceilings, fans and lights. It was a breath of fresh air, seeing how pristine and clean this shop is. The staff was friendly and attentive. The cookies and sweets were delicious! I tried the chocolate chip cookie that came with my meal and a rice crispy treat. I only needed one of these today, but it was hard to pass up the rice crispy treats while checking out. The entire menu sounded delicious, so I will definitely be back. If you visit the bread box, you dull bit be disappointed! read more

Can't say enough good things about this place. The food came to our table super fast! It was hot and delicious. We took home a selection of pastries and they did not disappoint. The dining room is so creatively put together with tea cups in the chandelier and colorful furniture. But the best thing was the staff. They were all helpful and attentive. We will definitely be back. read more

The food was good but the cashier struggled to separate our check. The last few people to pay ended up paying more than their share.

Always "Spot On!" Just picked up a cinnamon roll, ginger cookie with their Amazn' glaze, & The New Perfectly concocted ~Key Lime Cookie~ trust me!!! It Is Dangerously Delish'!!! Upset with myself forgot to take pics!!! read more

Bread Box Bakery and Restaurant is a true gem that delights from the moment you walk in. The bakery section is a feast for the senses, offering an array of freshly baked breads, pastries, and confections that are as beautiful as they are delicious. The sourdough is perfectly crusty and tangy, while the buttery croissants practically melt in your mouth. The restaurant side continues the excellence with a menu that showcases both creativity and comfort. The dishes are crafted with care, and it shows in every bite. The breakfast options, in particular, are a highlight. The avocado toast is topped with perfectly poached eggs and a sprinkle of artisan sea salt, making it a standout choice. The hearty sandwiches and salads are equally impressive, with fresh, high-quality ingredients and a thoughtful blend of flavors. Service at Bread Box is impeccable--attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, without being intrusive. The cozy, welcoming atmosphere makes it a perfect spot for a leisurely meal or a quick coffee break. In every aspect, from the incredible baked goods to the delectable dishes and top-notch service, Bread Box Bakery and Restaurant truly excels. It's a must-visit for anyone who appreciates exceptional food and a warm, inviting environment. I am looking forward to having a tea party here with my daughter. read more

I can't say enough about this place from the decor and vibes, the absolutely fresh and delicious food, and the warm and welcoming service. Their pastries, kolaches, cupcakes, cakes and pies oh my!

This review is for the high tea only 3/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Our friend made a reservation for a ladies' high tea service on a weekday for 11am. We looked forward to it and walking in we loved all the floral decor and cuteness of this shop. We received our tea tower to serve the 3 of us and our tea. Disappointing: - no menu to choose your own individual tea to steep in your own individual teapot. - tea provided was only a slim selection of packaged tea bags to steep in your own tiny tea cups. - no honey or milk to add to your tea table side. However, small brown sugar cubes were available. - no table side jam or curds available - sandwiches were tiny , could have used a little more cucumber. Positives: - friendly service, the girls checked on us frequently - limitless pot of hot water was provided. For $25 per person we did not feel it was worth it. We noticed customers come here for lunch, and all dishes ordered going past us looked fabulous and delicious! Lunch here is where they shine! Large sandwiches, salads, and quiche that come with a house made cookie and tea are clearly the winners. We'll have to come back not for tea service, but for lunch! read more

A while back, I had high tea with one of my girlfriends. High tea might be traditionally a ladies thing or even a mother/daughter thing, but Dad and I are changing all that. I made reservations to have high tea with Dad @the_bread_box yesterday lunch. Since Dad doesn't eat much, I asked if we could share one portion and there were no issues. It's $25 per portion, and we paid for an extra tea. Tanya made sure our teacups were full of hot water. Dad loved the sugar cubes with his tea. I ordered at the counter for a 2-egg Breakfast for Dad and I to share. There were 4 strips of super crispy bacon. Just enough food for us to enjoy. If you're looking for a reasonable place to enjoy high tea, @the_bread_box is the place to go! read more

This is a cute cafe.. You order at the counter and pay. The staff are friendly but the service was a little slow. The water and tea were pretty much self service. The fried chicken was over cooked and super dry. The Italian bean soup was pretty tasty. The "chicken strips" was a small fried chicken breast cut into slices. I think my cousin's breakfast was the best dish we ordered but it is super hard to go wrong on breakfast. The focaccia jalapeño bread they sell there was really good. The Oreo rice Krispy was good as well. The oatmeal creme pie was TOO sweet according to my husband.. He has a sugar tooth. Overall, I am not sure if I would come back. read more

Dear lord I tried their cupcakes and my mouth is so happy I wouldn't care if a single cupcake was 150$ I would pay it daily. It was sweet but not in the HEB premade way that if you're an adult it will kill you. It was so tastefully sweet and the frosting was thick and perfectly complemented it. THE CARAMEL? amazing! Top notch I will be forcing my boyfriend to take me here as much as possible. read more

YOU RUINED MY DAUGHTERS BIRTHDAY! I can hardly find the words to express my disappointment. We made a reservation with you almost a month ago. YOU CONFIRMED. We told you that we had 10 adults, 2 toddlers and an infant. We spoke to you several times, confirmed the room and I still have the text messages. We were celebrating my Daughters 33rd Birthday with a Tea Party brunch. We all bought dresses and appropriate attire to attend. We all arrived to be told that you gave someone else the room. The rude lady, who repeatedly referred to herself as the GM, made no apologies. She didn't seem to care at all. She said they had a conversation this morning and decided to give someone else the room. They set us up a few tables, that were hardly close to each other, in the middle of a full seating area. It was awful. Needless to say, we left. What a horrendous experience. Then we all had to find somewhere else to eat and try to salvage the event. Why do you bother making reservations if you can't accommodate them? We were coming to give my Daughter a Birthday experience and instead, you ruined the day. Update: We told you how many were in our party. YOU specifically said you felt that we would fit in the room since 3 of our party were under 3 yrs old. Why did you confirm our reservation then? I still have the text confirmation. Your unprofessionalism and pettiness shows as NO ONE used profanity or even raised their voice to your GM. We did not receive a full explanation, any assistance or an apology so We simply said that you ruined her birthday and we were leaving. Sadly, you are telling a ridiculous lie in an attempt to downplay your horrible service and failure. read more

We stopped at this location initially based on the reviews. Sadly, soon as we walked in the door instead of being greeted we were more welcomed with a nonchalant "is there something I can help you with". Unfortunately, the place is already set up plantation style so with the nasty unwelcoming welcome we decided to take our business elsewhere. With that being said, my rating is simply based on the lack of customer service we received, as we elected, not to order food at this restaurant. UPDATE: the owner explains it all! My review didn't "imply" anything other than what was specifically stated #lowexpectationsofservice RESPONSE TO PUBLIC POST BY OWNER: clearly you don't know what your business hours are because the time in which I made this post you all were NOT even open so that should have IMPLIED that I was not speaking of today! Now I'm done replying to your foolery , I'll share my experience on all available platforms! With other local officials etc #takecareMRTINA read more

I've been wanting to try this place for years but always forget about it because by the time you see the sign you're already passing it, probably on your way somewhere else lol. I actually reserved a table on Google because I figured there'd be a lunch rush. lol nope. The reservation was not needed. Additionally, because we hadn't been there before, we just sat down and started talking. It took about 20 minutes for us to realize you have to walk up to the counter to order. The lemonade was nice and sweet and tart the way it should be at a Texas cafe. My burger was delish and I tried a bite of the quiche too. The only downfalls I would say are that there are too many tables smushed together and the place needs a good cleaning. Coincidentally, we saw TWO people get hurt during our visit. One dad stood up from the table with his girls and hit his head very hard on the corner of the lantern chandelier. The other was watching one of the employees take a fall while she was as trying to come inside with plates and stuff. The place needs a a good cleaning and a furniture setup simplification to remove some hazards. I definitely want to go back and try other things but will hope they start the new year with some minor facility improvements. read more

I have everything good to say about The Bread Box and no negatives. The only negatives is that it's not open on Monday when I wanna go. They have amazing cookies delicious breakfast sandwiches and I absolutely adore their pies. They're so good. I order them for every celebration and holiday. The only recommendation that I could say is that if you want a specialty cake or pie place your order early because they fill up quick. read more

The bread and pastries are to die for, but don't forget the wonderful breakfast and lunch offerings at this cozy, quaint and charming spot. I love their quiche and their avocado toast.

The Bread Box is our neighborhood favorite and I love supporting this local family owned business. read more

I came in not to much before close looking for a ciabatta loaf. Either they didn't have it today or I was to late. They have a rotating bread schedule.

They are huge and heavenly we could hardly finish the oatmeal cream pie we shared. read more

I recently tried this place for lunch and it was good, but not great. I had the half BLAT and ham and summer veg soup. The sandwich was great, I would definitely get it again, but the soup was just ok. The squash in the soup was still hard on the outside which made it difficult to eat. I paid for coffee, it was self serve, and basically empty and full of coffee grounds when I got to it. The chocolate chip cookie that came with my meal was excellent though. But over all it's a very cute spot to grab lunch and chat with the girls. They also had a bunch of fresh baked goods out for purchase! read more

My friend brought me to tea here for my birthday. The tea tower game here is strong. I also had tea a few weeks ago and I thought the tea snacks here were more delicious and filling than the other place. Love the ambiance, since this place is a neighborhood favorite.

We made a reservation here almost a month ago for my sisters Tea Party Birthday Brunch. Rented the room and confirmed. We advised that we had 10 adults, 2 toddlers and an infant. The lady said the room comfortably seats 12 adults so that it would be just fine for us. We spoke several times, confirmed the room and still have the text messages to confirm, as we were celebrating my sisters 33rd Birthday with a Tea Party brunch. We all bought dresses and appropriate attire to attend. We all arrived to be told that after reviewing events this morning, they decided to give someone else the room. The rude lady, who repeatedly referred to herself as the GM, made no apologies. She said they had a conversation this morning and decided to give someone else the room. Did not call us to notify the change, or anything. They set us up a few tables, that were hardly close to each other, in the middle of a very full seating area with other parties taking place. It was awful and not what we reserved. Needless to say, we left. What a horrendous experience. Then we all had to find somewhere else to eat in Tea Party attire and try to salvage the event for my sisters sake. Aside from not getting what we reserved, the whole thing was handled very poorly and we were treated as if we didn't have a month old reservation for that room, discussed several times. read more

Please owner check your customers pre-order before they go out to deliver from Uber eats. I preorder today around 8:20 am. it was to be delivered between 11:00 to 11:30 am. I really was excited and could hardly wait, because I knew it would be good, because I have had food from them. But was disappointed because the 5 things I ordered was not in the bag. I was missing the Parker rolls, the Sourdough boules, and the cinnamon rolls, and the bread pudding I received did not have the toffee sauce and the candied pecans (which really makes bread pudding in my opinion) . You had almost 3 hours to get my order together. How could you miss all these items? read more

This is a bit of a mixed review. I enjoyed eating breakfast at the Bread Box and found their baked bread to be delicious. Service was relatively fast and friendly. Nothing was outstanding, however, just pretty good. What really brings this review down is my experience ordering a custom cake. I ordered one of their Mexican Embroidery decorated cakes for my birthday. I wanted the funfetti flavor with both raspberry and chocolate ganache filling. When I told the woman working the counter that I was interested in a custom cake, she wrote down the phone number for someone named "Tina" on the back of one of their cake option cards and said to text her. I found that a bit strange, but figured it would be fine. Turns out "Tina" is the owner. It took several days of texting back and forth to finally get my cake ordered. Again, I did not order anything complicated, as the decoration I wanted is one they already offer and I got standard flavors/fillings for a 9" cake. Tina was helpful about choosing a size of cake to order. When I tried to pay a deposit, Tina said she would call me to take the payment. Several weeks went by, no phone call. I texted her again, she responded a day later and said she was sorry, she had my order form in front of her and would call about the deposit. The photo she sent was an order form for some little boy's birthday cake with a fire truck on it, so I promptly told her that wasn't my cake and had to send her my order all over again and remind her of how much she quoted me. She then apologized, said she had the order, and that I could just settle up 1 week before the pickup date. I said ok, and can you please email me an order confirmation for my records (at this point I only had texts). She said she would but, no surprise, I never received anything. I did not get a call 1 week before pickup and had to call the Bread Box to try and get someone to take my payment less than a week before pickup. They apologized again and Tina did finally call me a day later to take payment. I will note that Tina was having an emergency issue with an animal a week before my pickup, but that doesn't explain or excuse the previous issues. I picked up the cake the day of the party, and I could see it sitting in the front fridge, totally open and unboxed. It looked ok, but it has been my experience that leaving a cake open like that in a fridge or freezer leads to dry, heavy cake and crusty icing. Well, that is exactly what I got. The funfetti cake was dense like a pound cake and not very flavorful. The filling was ok, but the chocolate had mostly soaked into the cake layers. The buttercream frosting was hard and crusty, and WAY too sweet. I expected a light, fluffy cake with creamy icing, but that is not what I got. The cake was a massive disappointment overall. The decorations also were only on the front, which wasn't made clear to me when I ordered it. That may have been my bad, but for $95, I expected a lot more. TLDR: actual food and bread is good but not great, service is awesome, custom cake was not very good and too expensive as well as hard to order. I honestly don't think I will ever be back as I don't live in the area, but for those in the area, it is worth a visit for a regular meal. read more

This place has incredible desserts! I recently stopped in for a slice of Chunky Monkey pie, and it was absolutely delicious. I've also tried a few of their cookies, which were fresh and yummy. I can't wait to go back and try their sourdough bread. The shop is nicely decorated and a bit small, but the staff is very attentive, making the experience even better. Just a heads-up, parking can be a little tricky since there are a lot of businesses in the plaza, so it might take a few minutes to find a spot. read more
