Bakery Lorraine at the Pearl

We were visiting family and decided to eat breakfast here on a Sunday. I had the quiche with artichokes and red pepper. It was truly the best tasting quiche I've ever had. My husband had the avocado toast and the kids had the french toast.

Cozy little place for breakfast, despite the business and lack of indoor seating. If it had been warmer outside, that would have been no big deal.
The baked goods looked incredible. The avocado toast was so yummy- with huge slice of bread!

I got the veggie quiche- wasn’t expecting the artichoke heart and intense cheesy flavor. I would probably try the quiche Lorraine next time.

The matcha latte was very very very good- not too sweet. Also picked up a bag or Merritt coffee beans.

Would come here again to socialize, but maybe not to post up and work during the busy time.

It's my first visit in Pearl District. I am surprised by this great pastry store. Pastry and cakes look nice. I especially enjoy the chocolate crossaint. Nice visit.

Great spot at the Pearl! Cute atmosphere with a decent menu variety. The bakery options are divine & make it hard to choose! Honey, Earl Grey, Pumpkin Spice & Cassis Macaroons were delightful and so flavorful

Came a Friday afternoon, my capuccio coffee and cookies were absolutely fabulous! Came for a quick bite, with the greatest environment was absolutely relaxed in customer service was friendly!

French toast, Croissant Sandwich and Turkey Pesto. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their choice. My turkey pesto was excellent, the potatoes that came with the croissant sandwich were insanely tasty! Our daughter sat happily nomming on the French toast. We took half the food home because they give you a lot. Always a treat to eat here.

I will not dissect one-by-one which pastry was good and how good. I will say that on my first-ever visit to San Antonio, in for barely two days for business, I made it a point to drop by this bakery.

By French standards, the pastries were reasonably good. By American standards they were very good. The Kouign-Amann stole the show, albeit I'd have preferred it without the tartness of the lemon curd — although it was light, lovely and distinctive. I understand it as an identifier that sets apart from other bakeries.

What I will commend like no other was the service. I came in, querying about some of the ingredients, for medical reasons. I was provided with an explicit list of all the ingredients in every pastry. I then went pn to order myriad goods and requested butters and jams on the side. I was given a hefty, overly generous amount. When I paid, there was an error on the bill – I was charged for three kouign-amanns rather than two. I only noticed it later when I got back to my hotel, the Emily Grand, from which I hiked over through the River Walk on this sweltering day. Before leaving the bakery, I went over to get cold water; the tank was empty and promptly refilled at my request, and a lidded-cup of ice water handed to me.

When I called from the hotel some thirty minutes later and brought up the error on the receipt, it was refunded instantly and I received a confirmation email. The refund came with profuse apologies from management for the inconsequential error, apologies that were not necessary but exhibited graciousness and top-tier human relations.

The next morning, when I returned to the bakery before flying out, I was greeted by management and given multiple compensatory pastries for the day before's mishap. Nothing I would have ever expected nor asked for, which in a scything, bureaucratic world left my mouth ajar.

My husband also ordered a cold brew and a wonderful butter cake, while I an iced tea. Some ten minutes later, before I even had a chance to get around to the tea (for photographing food), the barrista came over to our table and profusely apologized that she had given us a hot tea rather than iced, and brought the latter with her, saying, "So sorry! Enjoy both!"

I had forgotten what I ordered, and had not said so much as a word — she remembered all on her own and took initiative. Admirable and commendable.

Now I fly back to Florida wishing Floridians had half the etiquette, respect, politeness, moral framework and humanity of Texans.

Service at this bakery was sublime. I would give it 6 stars if I could, and will surely be back if and when I end up in San Antonio again. Food is good, vibe is awesome. Some of the best customer service I have ever witnessed in the world.

This bakery is adorable! I stopped here to buy some macaroons for my wedding anniversary that we ate after dinner. A little on the pricey side but they were so delicious!

My husband and I came back the next morning to have coffee and sit outside to enjoy the weather and bought a pastry and muffin as well. The muffin greatly surpassed the pastry in taste and texture, I would definitely opt for that instead next time. Unfortunately they do not offer any vegan options (I was dairy-free post-pregnancy).

All in all this place is a great dessert stop if you are in the Pearl area.

What a lovely little bakery! We discovered it on our first night in San Antonio but ended up eating elsewhere, and so we made it a point to visit on our way out of town. So glad we did! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was lovely. I had the croque madame which was a savory delight. Kids had some sort of breakfast sandwich and some pastries. The cookies were amazing! Highly recommended if you're at The Pearl and want a sweet treat.

Delicious cake, delightful vibe, excellent customer service! The cafe smells so good when you walk in, that you'll be drawn to buy something from the bakery even if you walked in for coffee. Which is exactly what happened with us. When serving me my red velvet cake, the guy accidentally moved the top chocolate of the other slice and gave it to me for free since the shape got messed up. Such a sweet guy. Now for the actual taste, the white chocolate slice on top of the red velvet was really delicious, and the cream was super fluffy and not too sweet. The tiramisu cake was also delicious and not too sweet, which is perfect. Their indoor outdoor seating all looked very aesthetic. Looks like a great place to study/work at or just chill with friends (which is what I did). Saw lots of families with little kids there as well. Will have to try the macaroons the next time I go. Would definitely go back again. Highly recommend for the vibe and the bakery (haven't tried the coffee yet so don't know much about that).

When we travel- I always try to find the best bakeries. I was really excited to try this place when I saw they offered gluten free options because our oldest has celiac disease and loves pastries but can never eat them. This bakery did not disappoint. There was about a 15 minute wait but not too long and they restocked everything while I was there! Thank goodness! We tried a little bit of everything but my favorite was the Pumpkin Choc Chip cream cheese muffin and chocolate hazelnut cookies. I wish I would have bought more lemon blueberry GF muffins because my daughter said they were the best GF pastry she’s ever had! She loved them! (Most GF options are too doughy or have an odd taste.) Thank you SO SO MUCH for having a top-notch GF option! It really made her day and she enjoyed eating…which a lot of times eating GF options are disappointing to her.

This place was a nice stop for a snack in the Pearl District of San Antonio. My husband & I came here while on our honeymoon prior to big dinner plans, but as we were walking through the city; we got a little hungry. We shared a patty melt, which was very delicious and we halved a homemade pop-tart too, which was also really yummy! We had never had "homemade" pop-tarts (only store bought) and we were super impressed! The iced lattes were perfect too. We're not those people who get flavors or sweeteners added to ours, but we were surprised with the strong flavor because back home in middle Tennessee; we seem to have to add an extra shot of espresso or else; our iced lattes where we're from taste real milky, but these from Bakery Lorraine were absolutely amazing. We even ordered some macaroons to take home!

Such Fun Pastries!

They usually have a couple Gluten-Free Pastry options and a ton of Gluten Free Macarons!

This is located in The Pearl shopping center, and shares an open green area with Cured. There is plenty of Indoor and Outdoor Seating.

Chocolatey Mocha and attentive staff. Great local place.

My favorite coffee shop with the best scones I’ve ever eaten yum and thank you for a delightful oasis at Pearl

Even though the line was long. The young woman behind the counter, Hayley, she was amazing. Her customer service was top notch. She made recommendations, very courteous and nice smile. Also the pastries are very nice.

We had an excellent experience. My wife had the avacodo toast and poached egg with smoked salmon. I had an everything croissant with smoked salmon. We both said we out ordered the other. The coffee was delicious. We went on a Saturday morning and enjoyed watching the Pearl Farmers Market setup outside. I highly recommend.

This is my favorite bakery and I always make sure to eat here when I’m visiting. Though the food is good, what really makes Loraine’s worth going to is the pastry’s and treats! and nice calm place to get breakfast or brunch while catching up on work or with a friend. The almond croissant is one of my favorites though it is on the sweeter side so if you’re not in the mood for sweets I’d go with a regular croissant. I love their macaroons, and their fruit tarts! For lunch the tomato basil soup with the cheesy bread is one of my personal favorites! The breakfast sandwich is pretty basic and what’d you’d expect. Warning the coffee normally comes really hot when you get it to go.

The variety at Bakery Lorraine is truly outstanding. They offer an extensive selection of pastries, bread, cakes, and other baked goods that are sure to satisfy every craving. Whether you’re in the mood for a flaky croissant, a decadent chocolate tart, or a perfectly baked baguette, Bakery Lorraine has got you covered.

I’ve never been a big bakery or pastry fan but this place never disappoints!!! I’ve gone a few times to spend quality time with my father in the ambiance of the Pearl and decided I need to write a review. I loved the pride cookies they had for this month, I love that they always seem to have something different to try! My new favorite is the Orange Blackberry muffin I tried this past Sunday morning, it was delicious!!! Definitely a great stop to try (:

Charming bakery - in a charming location! This place is atmospheric with enjoyable interior and flowers on every table. Desserts were delicious, we tried “Opera” and “Fruit Tart”. I also liked the service, the staff is attentive. Therefore, be sure to come here for a cup of coffee and dessert!

This place is popular, there was a long queue in the evening. Therefore, if you want to have a larger selection of desserts, I advise you to come here not too late in the evening.
