Lizz B.

The prices here are pretty steep at $9 for one of their regular size specialty coffees and $16 for their lox bagel sandwiche. Both were delicious, but on the price alone, I feel like I could get similar quality elsewhere. The service here was typical. Nothing special but not bad either. The shop is cute with plants and nice lighting. It's a nice place to come have a conversation with a friend or even a coffee date. Their pastries looked delicious. I haven't decided if I'd come back here or not. I liked what I got, but didn't truly feel like the it justified the cost.

Brownie

I had never heard of The Newstand until a friend of mine suggested we eat there for brunch. When I first looked at the menu, I was a bit taken aback by the high prices. This menu read like an Austin menu! The place looked cute but it's still San Antonio, I thought... Still, I decided to bite the bullet and ordered a breakfast toast. I didn't know what to expect, but it wasn't what I was served... I got a plate with TWO toasts (what!) and they were generously topped with fruit and caramel on gluten free bread. I'm not celiac but I can still appreciate that the bread was pretty good, especially for being gluten free. The portion was so generous that I couldn't eat it all. I also ordered a brownie and it turned out to be MASSIVE. Also delicious. The coffee was good. So what can I say other than it was worth it!

Tang Ten Matcha
Taira H.

This place is a little hidden but so glad we decided to come here for our girls coffee. I love that they validate parking, what a great way to support people coming to the space. I got the lox bagel, it was amazing! It was such a big portion, my friend and I split it. I also got the tang ten matcha & it was delicious! Tasted like a creamsicle on top and then was less sweet in the best way. I'll be back! I like the vintage thrift option as a cute side quest. I will say that seating was limited, it was full when we got there and we were a group of 3, so the only options for us to sit and talk was the couch or the bar which made it hard to talk. Maybe it's a more study or work environment.

Retail area

Recommend: Maybe I really enjoyed checking out The Newstand. The location is great, though parking was a little tricky to figure out. Inside, the space is on the smaller side, but the high ceilings and huge windows make it feel open and spacious. There's also a long bench facing outside, but with current construction going on, outdoor seating isn't really an option right now. The shop is clean, bright, and thoughtfully designed. In the back, there's a small retail area with an assortment of knickknacks, clothing pieces, and books, which adds a nice, unique touch. They offer coffee, matcha, breakfast and lunch options, and even a happy hour. Service was very quick and staff were friendly. I ordered the Tang Ten with Texas tangerine syrup, Kyoto matcha, and vanilla cold foam, and it was--perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness for me. Overall, it's a charming spot with good vibes and solid drink options. I'd definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area.

Chopped salad- plenty to share
Susan M.

The chopped salad is craveable and shareable. A big bowl of little gem lettuce, cheddar ranch, soft boiled eggs, bacon, tomato, onion, and blue cheese. Cant wait to go back.

Blueberry muffin and specialty matcha
C. G.

Really cool drink options, great menu! Kind service, plenty of room to sit comfortably. Great spot

Samantha H.

Such GREAT coffee and the coffee cake is amazing (also huge). The people who work there are very friendly and chill. The only downsides are the parking and that it's on the pricey side.

I'm not gunna lie, I thought I was going to be getting a smaller or more bodega style breakfast sandwich. It was too big for just one person. Def would be served better as a half sandwich with fruit or something. Still was good though. Coffee is probably better ordered to-go. Sometimes I feel like you get more coffee that way. The vibes are fun here but very much a more boujie NY newsstand vibe, which means a little on the pricier side.

miso lattes and matcha
Amanda L.

I was throughly surprised at how much I liked this place. The prices are on the higher side but the quality is pretty solid. I got the french dip sandwich as well which had great flavor. I wish the bread held up a bit better because the bottom was very soggy. I also think it should be on a bigger plate. It's a very very messy meal. I also got the miso latte and the matcha. I wasn't impressed with the matcha but the miso was good even though it didn't have much miso flavor (so a little gimmicky). They also charge for special milk (latte is already 8-9 bucks) which is kind of insane pricing wise because they don't list the price on the menu for alterations. They don't offer the coffee hot so if you want it hot maybe ask. Service is very nice, they do get VERY busy. We were lucky to get some seats next to outlets because there's not a lot of seats that have outlets and the seats are not comfortable.

Cosmo & Wanda Latte
Lauryn G.

Great breakfast or lunch spot! Their drinks are phenomenal and aesthetically pleasing with some unique and rotating flavors. Sandwiches are great too! Plus there's a cute little vintage shop and merch in the back which is cool. Place is a little pricey but worth it.

Homemade focaccia w Italian meats.
Carolyn J.

Delicious surprise! I need to meet my attorney in this building and I came across a new stand and homemade bread, delicious sandwiches, tea and coffees. I have lots of help getting low carb options even though I did eat some bread ...a sandwich I couldn't resist.. the place is funky cool with plenty to read and there's a little back room as well. It's a must try if you are downtown. Service is excellent!

Coffee and yogurt bowl
Jennifer D.

The Newstand gave me a New York vibe. Cozy, high ceiling and every part of the location utilizes. The coffee was outstanding. I ordered a large, and it was huge! Prices are a tad higher than other places, but definitely worth it for quality and taste. My husband was impressed with the breakfast sandwich, he complimented the chef as we were leaving. I loved the Greek yogurt bowl. The yogurt was topped with fruit and honey.

Delicious Protein Bowl
Katie N.

I finally go to try this place! It's street parking, so you have to get lucky or park a street or two over, which is no big deal. There is also a parking garage on the backside where the first 30 min are free. The building has the tallest ceilings and a ton of natural light. It was crowded and the doors were constantly moving with all the business they got. I had a black cold brew, which was fantastic! I ordered a sticky bun, which was large and gooey and warm- seriously it was the best sticky bun I have ever had! I should've bought more! I had the Delicious Protein bowl, which was delicious with the right amount of flavor and spice! I was very happy with it and would eat it again. Don't wait like I did to try this place! Serious coffee, and serious food. The sandwiches I saw people order looked phenomenal!

For a nine dollar iced latte I would assume it would taste better than burnt gas station coffee with three ice cubes that melt immediately.

Are dogs allowed and is there a size limit?

The restaurant space is very limited. I would be cautious of this. I'd probably give the restaurant a call just to verify what they allow as well.

We were given menus to look at while we waited so by the time we got to the counter, we were ready to order. The baked goods aren't on the menu, so when we walked by the counter filled with croissants, kouign amann, bear claws, apple pie, cheese cakes, it was hard to choose what we wanted!! We ordered: the Alamo Burger: a 8 oz wagyu beef smash burger , served with a fried egg, caramelized onions, cheese on a crispy croissant bun. It was incredible and worth the 15-20 minute wait! Almond croissant - a monster sized, flaky croissant with a generous almond filling. Guy Fieri highlighted this croissant on his DD&D show. It's probably a million calories not worth it! Tequila strawberry tres leches croissant - a small, cream filled croissant with strawberries. This was our least favorite. My husband didn't like the filling, I didn't like the sogginess of the croissant. Coffee - really good brewed coffee with free refills. We plan to go back a few more times while we're in town!!

As for the food, breakfast was just okay. It wasn't bad, but nothing really stood out or made me want to order it again. The atmosphere, though, was the highlight for me. I loved the interior, it has a relaxed vibe and makes you feel like you've stepped back in time. Overall, it was a decent experience. I'd definitely be willing to give this place another shot for dinner the next time we're in San Antonio, since I've heard that's when they really shine.

In the lobby for checkin today, I had an instant headache because the fragrance was so strong. At that point they informed us that there is some additional fee per day on top of the already pricey room, a fee that they never disclosed before today. We continued upstairs, and I could hardly breathe in the elevator it was so scented. When we got to the room it was also heavily fragranced. I tried to call the front desk, and the phone in the room didn't work reliably. Our call dropped several times. They offered box fans for us to air out the room. However, when we opened the windows, a blast of cigarette smoke wafted into the room because it is directly above their designated smoking area. We asked the front desk for help, and they said not to worry, hardly anyone smokes in that area. Meanwhile we watched several people out there smoking almost constantly. They offered no other accommodation or help. Not worth it. Very uncomfortable and upset because this will ruin our vacation. Edit: 1 to 3 stars. The manager eventually heard our concerns, responding to a secondary issue with cigar smoke in our room after leaving windows open - their recommendation- to air out the room. They found us a different accommodation and made it more than fair and comfortable. Why not 4 stars? Because it took the entire first day to be resolved.

Everyone was very friendly. We had an exceptional view and we had more than enough food that we had to ask for take out boxes. My favorite was the Mac & cheese though I'm usually not a fan. This dish used cork screw shaped pasta and it was moist and not stuck together. I had to share a photo of it with Sweetie who is in Tokyo right now. Doc liked the pimento for the cornbread.
