“Bilia Eatery is amazing! Everything I've tried here has been delicious, staff is friendly and helpful, new menu options suitable for dinner are a very welcome addition. I can't say enough positive things about this place, it is a must try!“

“This nutrition club is so cute! The workers here make sure to greet you even when it's busy and they are polite. I came on a Friday around 9 AM. I had the white chocolate PB cup shake and it was amazing! The flavor and the consistency was on point! The atmosphere is welcoming and the place is clean. I would come back here again! This is one of the best nutrition clubs I've been too.“

“Ok JUST GO to the back of the line to get into this amazing experience. The pastries are delicious and the meals are fantastic. The food comes out faster than you’d think Pick your pastries (notice I’m using plural) then a breakfast sandwich or combo. Have a wonderful coffee and taken in the show.Great places are worth the line, this is one of them.“

“This place felt like home First time coming here and I am not disappointed. Service was fast and attentive despite it being extremely packed. Servers are sweet and can answer any and all questions.Food was delicious, felt home cooked and was served in HUGE portions. I recommend the New York sandwich!Just remember they take cash as payment ONLY however they do have an ATM in the back.Highly recommend this place and love that I can give back to the community by being here ?Parking: Ton of parkingKid-friendliness: They offer booster seats“

“Well played out design, and so many different items to choose from. I've not tried anything from their kitchen menu but everything from the bakery has been amazing. The almond croissant has some weight to it! By far the best in town. Guava empanada was also great. Different dough than usually (more like a puff pastry than pie) but I was 't mad at it! Only mad I didn't grab more!“

“We had the pleasure of meeting Tom and Maria a week ago and they invited to their restaurant. They told us about how original their food was and that customers were invited to make their own combinations. We arrived to find a menu and an off menu menu created by return customers. It was amazing! We had a very hard week and this meal not only fed our bellies but our souls. Everything is homemade and it shows. This charming restaurant is a must go! Do yourself a favor and come to Maria's!“

“Menu changes every week, join the email list to see if the choice is for you. Small place, very nice patio. Nice pairing menu. Tonight it was a moussaka appetizer with an arugula and marinated cucumbers and chopped radish salad. The cannalomi with lamb filling- delicious and savory. The seared sea scallops were one of the best I've ever had, cooked just through. The corn chowder and shrimp base was a perfect combination. Chocolate for dessert- lovely light flourless torte. Oh and their own brand of Egg Cream Liqueur with dessert.“

“My wife and I recently dined at Ultra Kitchen Restaurant and Catering, and we were blown away by the experience. From the moment we stepped in, we were immersed in the true essence of Nigerian opulence. The restaurant was neat and the atmosphere exuded warmth and authenticity.The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the food. Every dish was freshly made to order, bursting with authentic Nigerian flavors. As an appetizer, we couldn't resist trying the suya, and it did not disappoint. The flavors were bold and tantalizing, setting the perfect tone for the rest of our meal. I savored the Jollof rice with goat meat (it could have been more tender but absolutely delicious overall) and fried plantains, while my wife indulged in the Egusi with pounded yam. Each bite transported us to the heart of Nigeria. On another occasion, I had the pleasure of trying their goat meat pepper soup, and it was nothing short of phenomenal. It truly felt like a taste of home, comforting and satisfying in every way.But what truly set Ultra Kitchen apart was the hospitality of the owners. They welcomed us like family, ensuring that we felt right at home from the moment we walked in. Their warmth and genuine care for their guests made our dining experience truly unforgettable.Overall, Ultra Kitchen Restaurant and Catering exceeded our expectations in every aspect. From the impeccable cleanliness to the authentic flavors, and the welcoming hospitality of the owners, it's clear that they take pride in delivering an exceptional dining experience. We can't wait to return to San Antonio for more of their delicious Nigerian comfort meals. Highly recommended if you’re ever in the area!Kid-friendliness: The staff were incredibly patient and attentive, ensuring our kids felt comfortable throughout the meal. It made for a wonderful family dining experience.“

“Contacted the Board Couple on Sunday afternoon after finding out the hotel I had booked had zero interest in helping me. The Board Couple was closed but responded to an email almost immediately and followed up with a phone call. All Monica wanted to know was how could she help?I explained that I wanted a nice board with a bottle of good Chardonnay, 2 REAL wine glasses and a cork screw all delivered to a downtown hotel prior to my Wife and I arriving the following afternoon, Monday.. We were flying in to celebrate our 24th anniversary..There answer? Done!And what a beautiful board!Quality was great, service was better!Thank you Board Couple! Check them out, you wont be disappointed!“

“Great food, good service. Owner is attentive and his love of the food really translates. A must try. Traditional Mexican sweet bread with a personal twist. Other food and drinks are very good too.Parking: Busy street, parking is at a premium, but you can park in the street very close by.“

“Good experience. The service staff was great. I had the special of the day. It was decent, but I feel the breading could have been a bit crispier. My BF had the French toast, and it was good, but talk about a large serving. Calamari was delicious, and the drinks were great too. Overall, a good experience. The place is locally opened, so it's always nice to support them.“

“i'd been wanting to try this restaurant for a while, and finally stopped by today - i'm so glad i did! it's pretty cozy and the staff were super sweet and helpful, they have great service. i ordered the syrniki (the waitress mentioned they were a new menu item) and it was perfect for someone looking for a not-too-sweet treat. i also ordered a london fog and it was definitely one of the best i've had! i'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a new cafe or brunch spot to try.“

“I stumbled on this place through an Instagram post (which normally is more hype than substance), but dang this place is great. The burger was perfect, huge, and a great price. I got a side of tots that were cooked to perfection. This is my new favorite burger spot in town. Highly recommend.“

“This is a slightly late review. I had a conference to cater last month. It was on Monday when the kolache stop is closed. I called and spoke to the owner to see if they would be ok to buy on Sunday, but serve the next day. After a few minutes, he told me he would coordinate so I could get them fresh Monday morning. He was too proud of his product to let them be served next day. And boy does he have a reason to be proud! Absolutely amazing. I had at least 10 people find me to ask here the kolache were from. Extremely impressed and will be a repeat costumer!PS I did have some leftover the next day...and they were still delicious ?“

“Made a reservation ahead but didn’t need it. Inside was very clean and friendly welcome. Great server, nice attitude. Quick order and food on table in about 10 minutes. Food was very delicious. Server filled drinks as needed. Ambiance was very nice and not over done. We loved it and will return.“

“My favorite place for comfort food. Tomato basil soup is a must have every week. I often stop in to pick up two. I’ve tried almost everything on their menu and am never disappointed whether it’s salads, soups, sandwiches, and desserts. The grownup grilled cheese and tomato soup is a perfect combo. I’ve switched or added meats and other ingredients. They will make your visit worthwhile and have you coming back on a regular basis.“

“their side salad is a joy to eat. even the next day leftovers. I would love to know what is in their vinaigrette.it comes with the milaneza torta, which has quality ingredients. I always get extra green salsa for it.I just wish they would make more focaccia bc it is always out. best focaccia I've had.“

“My Dad and me have visited two times already , and we’ve loved every visit . The owner is so sweet and welcoming , I’ve enjoyed recently the 9 lives of love latte with Oatmilk . My dad loved his Cafe Latte with a dash of cinnamon , with almond milk . The coffee is perfect , I feel like you really can’t order anything wrong . We usually drink on the road our coffee , hopefully we make time to one day enjoy the outdoor seating . Underrated gem in San Antonio ! Can’t wait to continue visiting when I can ☕️✨❤️ .“

“Had a whole trip planned frpm austin that was going wrong in every way. Birthday weekend for my daughter and I felt like i failed in making it right. We found this spot and it started to change my horrible morning into something good. The service was amazing chorizo migas...no greasy chorizo and perfectly crispy tortillas for the midas. It's a older hole in the wall so the building doesn't give much but the people and food make up for it 10fold. Thank you to this staff for helping me feel better.“

“love philo coffee! i go to school in the area and i always find myself wanting to come to philo during my breaks :) the food and coffee are great, service can be a little slow but the employees are always super friendly and do their best. atmosphere is awesome and i love the outdoor seating!“

“Amazing atmosphere, centrally located by the Riverwalk and the San Fernando Cathedral, and the coffee was delicious! I also got their chocolate croissant which was so crispy but soft inside. Little pricey but the service was so sweet to me as a first-timer that I didn’t mind. Great place to stop by before walking around downtown!“

“We went on a stroll and followed the signs and found this gem. The staff was very friendly, we felt at home. The coffee wasn't over done. We could taste the flavors in our lattes but still got the coffee flavor. They were amazing. We also got the pancake flight which was just as good. A short walk from all the hotels but definitely worth the stop.“

“I tried this place out for the first time a few days ago... I told the lady behind the counter and she gave me a quick summary on how to order... I ordered... the drink was delish. So I went back the next day and ordered like 4 drinks... a little of evrything to try out. Found what I liked and didnt like... while waiting I checked out the place and it is very clean, there were several signs explaining the drinks as well as how to order... I didnt know that I could get my drink with no sugar all the way to extra sweet. So next time I went I was in a short line and evrybody had punchcards... im like... wtf... I ordered 4 drinks at 1 time and the dude behind the counter didnt say nothn about no punch card... at the rate im going I could have filled tht punch card tomorrow! So thats why I gave this place a 4 star review... yes just for the punch card. The service is fast with 2 people, with 1 person making the drinks and at the register its a little slower but not slow. Also, I prefer the cream smoothies to all the other different kinds of drinks on the menu.“

“The BEST! I was in SATX for work & this coffee truck was near where I was staying. Ironically, they were celebrating their 5 year anniversary & had so many fun balloons & cute decor out! The extra demand of people did NOT affect anything. Service was fantastic, coffee was delicious, & customers were smiling! Truly a great experience & will now be my go to when in San Antonio! Cheers!“

“This is the place you come to for a freshly made, filling, and satisfying breakfast. Your food is made when you order it, so expect to wait. It's a little out of the way place that stays busy for a reason- the service is warm and the food feels like a home cooked meal. It's not fancy and it doesn't need to be. We had the cornbeef hash with eggs and toast, and the blueberry stuffed French toast. Enjoyed every bite and left very satisfied. We left looking forward to coming back.“

“Every First Watch I've been to has kept up with my expectations. Everything is delicious and the Baja Turkey Burger is one of my go to orders. It is possibly my favorite turkey burger at a restaurant.Staff are helpful and very friendly. Just remember the lunch rush can get quite packed. But it is worth the wait in my opinion.“

“I'm so glad the coffee place down the street was closed for renovation because it forced me to try a new place! Royal Blue Grocery was a great spot for breakfast. In addition to the grocery items, they had a grab & go section, fresh coffee, and a small pastry case with baked goods & cookies. The lemon blueberry muffin was amazing!“

“A couple friends took me here around 2 PM after the lunch hour. It felt like a secret I wasn’t supposed to be in on! The food was amazing!!!The restaurant itself is very unassuming in the bottom floor of an office building. There’s also not much to let you know that the cuisine is Korean. However, the restaurant is very clean and cozy. We ate family style and everybody enjoyed their food. The drinks were bottled out of a fridge at the back of the restaurant, and they have a variety of American and Korean drinks/snacks. I saw a blue plate award hanging out near the register, too.Parking: The parking situation is a little tight and there aren’t a ton of spaces, so you may have to walk a block or two, but it’s totally worth it.“

“10 out of 10 would recommend so first of y’all know I am from New York and we have amazing coffee houses and have had tons of great experiences how ever as we traveled to San Antonio , Texas this week for customer meetings we stumbled across this amazing Coffee House in the heart of what is known as The Pearl area downtown right near the river walk. I was blown away !! Devin with his amazing customer service as soon as we walked and Megan with her skill of crafting the hands down best Iced Chai latte I have ever had!! Mind you I’ve traveled allOver and have had chai from many places !! This by sat was the best my boyfriend had the espresso he is an espresso man and said it was a great espresso!! You get a little water with your espresso to wash down which is great at a coffee house. The warm chocolate chip sea salt cookie was a perfect combination!! Will absolutely come back !!“

“Great “local” cafe. Authentic Hispanic and traditional American menu selections. Very reasonably priced for the quality.I had the baracora breakfast special which was top notch.10 minutes away from the airport for pre or post flight meals.“

“Jasmine Valencia is the bee’s knees. She is the best, she’s sweet, and hilarious. I will definitely come back just to see her and bug her. I feel like she should be promoted to Owner.Also, I’ve seen Jasmine save a litter of puppies from a burning building. She better get $1,000,000 for being a phenomenal person. She is a 5-Star Woman.“

“the service here is amazing, the staff is so friendly and always makes you feel at home. the atmosphere here is so calming and warm, perfect place for a coffee date or just getting some work doneParking: it’s a little small but there’s usually a spot or two free“

“We love coming to First Watch for weekend brunch. The service is excellent and the food is so good. Expect to wait a bit at popular brunch times, but also know that you can reserve your place in line on the website, so we often will do that on our way over, limiting our wait.Vegetarian options: One of my kids is vegetarian, and like most breakfast places, they have plenty of vegetarian options. I can't speak to whether it's vegan friendly, but they're happy to swap out any meat side with fruit for my kid, for example.Kid-friendliness: They have a coloring sheet for kids, which is one of the things our kids feel strongly about if they go out to eat. ?“

“The food is amazing and authentic. and after your meal I HIGHLY recommend the turkish coffee it is delicious and non acidic. the pricing is very reasonable for the quality. The only reason I did not give 5 stars on service is becuase the owners (I assume) are very busy doing things related to thier business and would benefit from having one extra front of house staff member to assist in waiting tables when they are preoccupied with running the restaurant“

“The service was great. Very attentive. I had the Ranchero special and really liked the quality of the plate. The tortillas are soft and freshly made. The salsa was very well made and tasted very fresh. I requested avocado on the side-large portion!“

“The cutest little restaurant in San Antonio. Lots of seating indoors and adorably decorated. I basically only order the spam musubi because it's my favorite quick snack and reminds me of home. The lemonade is sooo delicious and I like that they have multiple options ?“

“I recently Came here for a family breakfast and the service was quick and efficient. Everyone had a smile on their face and the atmosphere of the building was friendly! The food came out hot and fresh as expected! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good meal at a good price!“

“Good food we had the chorizo and egg bacon and egg bean and cheese and Carne guisada with cheese. The Carne guisada was very good no fat good flavor and tender meat the tortillas are home made. Definitely will have to go back to eat there but will be ordering take out again.“

“First time eating here today, just passing by and ordered a Bahn Mi sandwich...actually got the F1 and the F6 (beef). They are both very delicious. The F1 is fresh and light, while the F6 is still fresh but more filling/satisfying...like if you wanted to really feel full, this sandwich gives that sensation. Overall, the cafe was very clean and tidy, and I appreciate how friendly everyone was--especially the lady who brought the food from the kitchen, she reminded me of my mom from Eastern Europe (that sort of lovely, sweet grandmotherly warmth)! I am looking forward to coming back and trying more items from their menu!“

“First off the service is really good here quick the whole process maybe took about 8 minutes or less I got the cantaloupe shaved ice which definitely hit the spot if you're looking for a place to get something sweet or to cool off on this side of town I definitely recommend this “

“Dive atmosphere with dirt cheap drinks and surprisingly good food. Parking is a little sparse.Editing 10/31/23:Editing to reflect more on the amazing hospitality we just received here. My girlfriend inadvertently left her purse here and the owner HAND DELIVERED it to our house down the road at damn near midnight. I don't think I've ever been to an establishment where I think that would happen. You've hands down earned a repeat die-hard customer through that action and the laid back service provided by the bartender Will!Looking forward to seeing yall soon!“

“Kaylan at the Bread Box made ordering our grooms cake for our wedding an easy process. She made myself (the bride) feel comfortable and guided throughout the process. The grooms cake was also a hit at the venue. Everyone loved how detailed the Batman Grooms cake was. I highly recommend using the Bread Box!-Mia “

“Food was delicious and service was great. Loved the lemon poppy seed French toast, and the Texas eggs benedict was a fun take on a classic dish. They were not super busy on a Friday night but we are glad we stopped in to try, would definitely recommend.“

“I love this place! The owner and her staff are AMAZING! Always greeted with a smile and a hello!' I go here for a morning boost or an afternoon pick me up. They have a great selection of flavors. They also have food options. Oh and if you tag on insta, they will give you a discount!!“

“Place feels comfortable, very friendly and was suggested different plates with the yumminess behind each one. This is what a chose had I never heard nor tried and let me tell you it was hands down delicious tried with both green and red salsa. Must try it public.. my opinion.. no regrets but truly a good size plate. Bon appetit to the the next“

“Fun dining experience! I love that everyone working here is a culinary institute student! Everyone was super friendly. Food was delicious. When you enter, you can go to the bakery counter on the right side of the restaurant, or be seated for a meal on the left. At the bakery counter, there were many options, croissants, scones, empanadas, cookies, tarts, and other desserts. I sat for a meal and had the Quiche du jour, spinach. Loved it. Hope to visit again.“

“My family loves Crystal’s. My parents brought me here as a kid when it was Norma’s same amazing food and amazing customer service. Now this is my daughters favorite place! Keep up the great work!! Good job!! God Bless!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“They have the largest variety of flavors for tea or smoothies I've seen. I got Honeydew smoothie with boba, very fresh taste ? Very fast and good service. They have a 6 pack of macarons by the register, glad they had sweets to share with friends ??“

“Was nice Lil piece of French eats. I loves the cheese cake crepe with blueberries. The experience was nice my only question is why yall keep doing filter Kaffee come on raise the bar guys. Even the smallest cafes in europe have an espresso or Cafe machine even on the line. They also don't choke your pockets while doing so. Just a small piece of advice. Never the less my experience in San Antonio is level 10 great spots here for everyone esp. The bbq! Lol“
