The Breadbox SF Review

Had a late lunch here today and was pleasantly surprised with how delicious everything was! I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and the easiest way to describe how good it was is to say that it's the type of sandwich you end up craving. I also had the bread pudding and it was sooooo good!

The person I was dining with had the burger and deep dish apple pie ala mode and from what they said it was just as yummy as what I had!

I'll definitely be back and would happily recommend to others! The price was reasonable, the restaurant itself was very clean and had a lovely calming artsy ambience to it without being pretentious. The server was very attentive & knowledgeable of all the items on the menu as well which I thought was wonderful!

(Only took pics of the desserts because my brain stopped functioning when the main dishes came out - whoops!)

Great food, varied menu and outstanding customer service. Highlights were pastries and bread making the name apropos! Enjoyable experience!

They have amazing food I loved it so much, I have a lot of food restrictions And this is a perfect place! Our waitress Lindsey was great and very sweet!! P.S. Lindsey I know you said you were a bad cook but if you really try following a recipe I think you will do great!!

Absolutely LOVE this place. Every meal I've had is so delicious and the staff is always so friendly and attentive. I don't live very nearby or I'd literally choose to eat here over any restaurant but always do when I'm in the area. It's a true hidden gem! Keep up the good work.

Their muffin was great last 3 years. When i tried regular blueberry muffins today, i was shocked. Usual blueberry muffin has great butter smell and taste. However, it taste like generic flour and oil. I can tell this place now uses less butter to save money. I am highly disappointed. I am ashamed for recommending this place to my friends last 3 years.

First time at The Bread Box, great service, food was delicious. Will definitely go back again. Hard to find, but worth looking for.

The staff was nice. Location is quaint and tucked away. But I would stay away from the lemon square. It's the only dessert I tried so can't comment on the rest.

I have visited The Bread Box over a dozen times since they first opened. I considered it one of my favorite local restaurants and referred many ladies to dine there. The food and service had been excellent and consistent. In the past six months the menu has changed, the food is more expensive with smaller portions, and the service is average. It saddens me that the feel of this quaint gem have faded.

The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. It does feel a little loud during the busy times but you can t blame the establishment for noisy patrons.

I have never had a bad meal here. Their menu is always fresh, full of flavor and inspired by the seasons. The baked goods are Phenomenal as well. I can t recommend them enough.

The hummingbird pie was slightly too sweet for me but the burger was delicious. The restaurant is in a nice little area with other shops. Will be coming back.

Lovely cafe with delicious food, desserts, and impeccable service! Diane was the event coordinator for the bridal shower held and took such great care of us. She truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Also, I recommend the Patty Melt, you won't be disappointed.

Really really good ! Great service ! The chicken salad is amazing ! Should sell their chicken salad by the pound !

This is my favorite brunch place in town! Definitely worth saving room for dessert here.

Fabulous outside area. Good foods for breaks and great sandwiches I had the chicken bacon ranch. Various deserts. Its in a nice little village area with small shops next to a paint your own painting shop. Excellent time and we would like to return some time.

1st time at The Bread Box, everything was delicious and the service was amazing. Everyone was attentive and helpful. Definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu.

Amazing burger! I was gonna take it home but I couldn't leave the parking lot without eating it. I can't wait to go back!

We ordered curb side today for lunch. The chicken bacon sandwich was the best I have ever had. The chocolate ice box pie and the cherry cheesecake pie was sooo incredibly delicious. Plus, the lady who took my order heard that I have 2 kids and added 2 decorated sugar cookies for them. She was so sweet. Thank you for a great experience. We will definitely order again.

I went to this spot because I follow safoddie on IG she always knows the best spots

I went there a second time because I thought the food and service was awesome the first time. I think the Bread Box is suffering from growing pains - too many customers, not enough kitchen staff to keep up. Our food was half raw. I will wait until things settle down before I go back. They are bound to lose some customers who are disappointed as I was.

Just an all around great experience! Atmosphere, service, food. All excellent!

Amazing food!! Just delicious and fresh and simple. All things good. The wait staff and owners are so nice too. I go all the time.

Treated my sister to an awesome birthday lunch. Food is delicious.

I recommend this place for breakfast, excellent service and the coffee its refill!

Went to The Bread Box on a recommendation from a co-worker. Definitely a good pick. The room our party of 10 got put in fit us all, was a bit cozy and really only fit us, nobody else. The place wasn't overly crowded, but still had many people in there; could feel crowded to some. I ordered the Best Reuben, which was an interesting and delightful twist on the standard Reuben. The only thing I would say is a negative is that because of its placement as a shop inside a villa/alley, there is one restroom that services the entire area, and it is not kept up well at all. Was not a good visit to the restroom. Service was prompt and food came out pretty quickly. We received water refills at least twice during our 35 minutes of eating. Our checks were brought out shortly after that and we went to the front to pay. I opted for a to-go dessert of whoopie pie, which was very rich and very tasty. Overall a great experience.

Called in for some general information and was hung up on by the worker (Jeremy?) Guess he didn t have the time to answer a question. You would think small businesses would be open to new business and thankful for customers during these times. So incredibly rude.

The breads and pastries aren't the only reason to come to The Bread Box. Today the daily special was Moroccan Toast and Poblano Soup, both delicious!

Wonderful environment and delightful, exceptionally kind and considerate staff. Excellent lacto/ovo vegetarian options and one stellar vegan option (amazing lentil bowl with roasted veggies). Worthy of your time and patronage as a local business in the community.

I bought 24 brioche rolls for a company hamburger roast after reading reviews. They were FABULOUS! Best I've ever had as a bun/roll. The service over the phone was superior and they worked hard to make me happy. Looking forward to dining in.

I am as real and friendly as they come. I do not often write a review simply because I do not think about it, but this one is personal and important.

The service was okay, cordial but impersonal. We were there for Mother's Day for a brunch and I had made reservations. Though I made reservations for four, we had to wait, and we ended up sitting at a table for two. Ten minutes passed by before they got us a highchair. They eventually offered a bigger table but it is difficukt to get kids resettled so we declined. My wife ordered the eggs benedict along with a slice of apple pie and I had the eggs commodore both of which were good but nothing to write home about.

While we waited we had our two little ones ages 3 and 1. They were having a hard time staying calm so we wanted to eat outside, but the restaurant would not allow us though it was empty outside and the wait was now going 45 minutes. While waiting I stepped in a pad of butter that was under our table from a previous guest and it got everywhere.

So we finally made the decision to get our food to go so I could take the kids outside for my wife and then once we received our food we are outside (with no to go silverware). It was this level of impersonal care (along with the mediocre food) that we will never on God's green earth return to the Bread Box. In this day in age, where most places are family friendly and on top of the fact that it was Mother's Day, I was amazed they could not understand why we needed to sit outside.

The food: good portion and good price point, but the English Muffin needed toasted longer. Because of it being undertoasted, the overall texture of the egg and bread was soft and gummy. Not the best experience in my opinion.

Best to you.

We loved the food @BBX from our first visit. Now we are regulars and eat there every chance we get. The menu selections are wonderful and the specials are tasty too! Weekend brunch is amazing. The burgers are terrific. Waitstaff are friendly and quick to help. Make sure you check out the pies and bakery case.

Highly Recommended. Bring your friends!

Went with my daughter recently... we both loved it. The Spinach quiche was buttery and flaky. Her avocado toast was pleasing to the eye and tummy! Outdoor seating was great on a cool breezy morning... she already wants to go back!

I went today for lunch. I got a lunch special which was the italian melt and soup of the day, it was cauliflower and gorgonzola cheese, and my gosh it was so delicious! I cannot wait to go back. My waitress was super kind and so informative about everything on the menu. Loved it!

One of the best bakery in San Antonio. REAL BREAD REAL FOOD!

Yuck! Bad location, bad food served cold when it should have been hot. The waitress was talking with our food in her hand. She should not be talking to near table to strangers with our food in her hand. Handicapped unfriendly with stairs to clime. Parking lot beat up, hard to walk. Dirty table with scape of food and debri. My jeans become so dirty sitting at their table. Too pricey for what they serve, limited menu selections for a place the claims to be vegetarian friendly. They said "try us again," as we paid and walked out. We will not be returning. The baked foods looked great but they are not. The bread look soft however, it is not. The Bread Box bread flew out of it's bad when we came home. The salad was wilted and rancid, food was not hot and their bakery looked good although hard as a rock. Bad food and salad, not handicapped ready, location was crazy, bad parking lot. Not vegetarian friendly as they claim, cold food when needed to be hot, the bakery looks good but it is not. Everything looks soft but hard as a rock. The flatware was dirty, the tables and seats were a mess. If I was smart we should have walked out.

This place is fantastic! Great food and service. Highly recommended to try for breakfast or lunch.

Whether you're in the market for baked goods or a meal, this place has never let me down. Great service and products. I try the special almost every time and it's always a blast to see what cool flavor combo they come up with. If you are a coffee drinker, grab some biscotti to go.

Also the blueberry muffin. You'll never forgive yourself if you don't try it. They have a rewards app too and it pumps out a free muffin after just a couple entrees so it's free anyway, eat it!

Fantastic! Great vegan vegetable soup and Tuscan turkey sandwich. Service and food impecable.

Cafe food... super satisfying. The service was very friendly and attentive. This place has a nice feel to it.

Love the focus on the bread, which is often the after thought of a sandwich or burger. Very nice. Quaint and popular at the same time.

At first it was a good place to eat but recent few visits turned us off completely. Ordered 3 glasses of water with the slice of lemon - received just plain water and no citrus. An order of a side salad came with the rock hard bread with the moldy taste (when I broke the roll it started crumbling and had a very strong odor of still bread). An order of a vegetable soup came too spicy though I asked prior to order about the 'heat level' and was assure that it's a very plain soup. Peas soup was over salted (probably stayed for a awhile and became concentrated). The salad supposed to come with the cheese slices however 2 small pieces of cheese look so unattractive like someone didn't know to use the knife to slice and just chopped 2 tiny pieces for the mouse trap, the bacon was not evenly cooked. Ordered a slice of an apple pie as to-go and needed to put it in the oven since it was under baked. The wait staff is very disorganized from taking the beverage order to bring food items to the correct persons.

Great place for a breakfast and take fine fresh bread home!

This place is an absolute hidden gem! The staff is friendly and helpful and the service was great. Had the bread pudding French toast and it was absolutely to die for! Will definitely eat here again!

Absolutely an amazing hidden jam! Food and pastries are top notch! Will becoming back for sure!

First time here. The pulled pork was really good and the others seemed to enjoy their meals too. Cozy place and service was great. Was a little pricey but the quality was good IMHO.

A hidden Gem, honestly one of the best places to eat or buy an Apple pie from.

We order Bread from them every time we run a catering gig. They are amazing. Love it.

Fun little place, enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich with potato chips. Fresh baked bread you could smell from the parking lot! Good service. Will go back for breakfast--looks good!

Love this place. The brunch was so good. I had the Roman brunch pizza and it was a huge portion. I can tell the eggs are super fresh. Cupcakes were amazing. Service was great. HIGHLY recommend this place

Hands down a hidden treasure in San Antonio!! The food, The staff, The Atmosphere are all equally Great!! Tina and her staff made my 35th Wedding anniversary cake. It was beyond what I expected!! Not only was it absolutely gorgeous..the flavor was amazing!!

I love this place. Everything so fresh and the service is fruendly, the food delicious. Really, I just want to respond to Lina's one star review and all of those wannabe food critics of Yelp and Google. I wonder why you did not immediatly share your initial experience of how much you liked their food? Instead, you waited until you had a poor experience to post a review. Perhaps you are one of those people that only talks about the bad experiences instead of the good ones. Maybe you should remedy that. It might make you a happier person. Everybody has off days.

Spacious, cute, rustic cafe in The Alley center. Surrounded by little boutique shops. Great outdoor area to visit. Excellent service and large variety of desserts. Highly recommend the Lemon Cream Cheese Pound Cake and Chocolate Almond Croissant!

Awesome burger but the oatmeal cream pie cookie was over-the-top incredible! I would've posted a pic but I ate it too fast

We were there as they opened for breakfast on a Saturday. It was not crowded, the service was fast, knowlegable, and curteous. We enjoyed the French toast made from bread pudding that was to die for and a side of bacon that was done exactly to our specifications. The coffee was fresh and hot. We will definitely be coming back.

The process of ordering and picking up the cake was seamless. It was quick, and they provided great customer service. Picked up a cake for my son's birthday, and it was beautiful!! It was also sooooo delicious!!

Our first time in, but definitely won't be the last! We had the burger, which was yummy with, as you should expect, a tasty bun. But the biggest surprise, and my favorite part, was the beet Reuben. Yes, I said beet, that wasn't an autocorrect error. The sandwich was awesome! Service was great, everyone super friendly. We're taking some pastries home, they look delicious and based on lunch, I feel sure they are wonderful.

Great food and great service! I have never had a bad meal here and the baked goods are to die for.

Everything was incredible. The place is nice, warm, and very luminous. The service was very friendly and gave great recommendations (Thank you CJ). And the food was just perfect, and good price. It was healthy, delicious and a wonderful break from the day. Definietly worth a visit, I'll be coming back.

Bistro style breakfast and lunch with a Texas twist. I always bring home a loaf of their fresh baked bread.

Fabulous brunch, friendly staff and very comfortable! Would definitely recommend!

One of my favorite places to go for lunch. They have amazing new specials every week so you can always try something new. The staff are all incredibly friendly and on top of everything. The only down side is that they've made so many amazing dishes that I wish I could eat again and again, but the specials are only there for one week.

We went there for lunch after church one day. I tried a little bit of everything (from everyone's plates). The breakfast was amazing and the cheesecake was the best I've had. I for sure recommend this place to anyone visiting or wanting some great breakfast food!!!

Highly recommended! Excellent, friendly, prompt service and the best sandwich I have ever had.

Very friendly staff. Quaint and cozy environment. Their chocolate ice box pie is delicious!

Literally my favorite place to eat. Everything is amazing! Try the pie. For real, you won't regret it.

Amazing for breakfast and lunch. Bread is delicious and staff is really nice. Restrooms are outside. It is small but the space is enough for everyone.
The place is a bit hidden If you go for the first time you will have to get out of your car to find it.
There is plenty of places to park.
The menu has not many options but they are sufficient and well presented.
For breakfast I ordered the soup and the eggs with sausage. It was really good.
If you have a baby you can ask the waiter to bring a baby chair and flip it upside down to set you carseat on it. The stroller might have been a little bit big for the place.

SPANISH

Very tasty everything for breakfast and for food. The bread is really exquisite and the staff is really friendly and charismatic.
The bathrooms are outside the restaurant a bit hidden and if it's cold you'll have to put on your coat or jacket.
The place is small but with enough space for all the tables. It is usually very crowded and you will have to wait a little to be assigned a table.
The place is a little hidden and it is a little complicated to see it from your car, you may have to get out of the car to look for it or ask for it.
The parking places are many so you do not have to worry about that.
The menu does not have a lot of dishes but it is sufcient. The soup is very rich and the eggs with sausage are really good.
If you are carrying a baby, you can ask for a baby seat and turn it over to put your baby carrier on it and what the stroller will be difficult to put in and find a space

It was horrible service ever! They did not even check our table for refill, and had us wait forever to get the check. Definitely made us feel ignored. Shame on you!

I love this place. Theres never a crowd but even if there was a lot of people its super spacious. The only thing I do not like is the deserts at the counter when you pay. This makes me impulse buy and then hate my self after eating it lol.

Sadly Disappointed. We visited this past Wednesday morning and were told that they were closed for cleaning/updating? I looked for the generous display cases that are seen on the google site photos, but nothing at all like are shown. I asked, am I in the right area of the shop to see the display? And the receptionist gal said, "yes, this is it." I know, I know, these are unusual times, but it was strange to see a room full of guys in the kitchen, other staff out front, but not at all set up to receive customers.
May I add - - I think this establishment has gone through a lot because of the covid crisis. Let's give these businesses a break. My one star is not fair under the circumstances. I will return after this crazy chapter in our lives passes.

We came about 15 minutes to closing. We were still treated nicely & the food was VERY good. The patty melt was made with mostly grass fed Wagyu beef . The taste & quality was exceptional. My mom could not stop talking about how good the wheat seed bread was. The location is hidden but I recommend finding this place as fast as you can.

Fantastic! The King Ranch Casserole was the special of the day. A menagerie of flavors to delight the palate and the chicken was chunky (not the sparse shredded chicken too commonly used around town), pairing with such beautiful and intentional atmosphere made this experience exceptional. My family will most certainly return often!

Had a baby shower at The Bread Box. It was fabulous. Diane is so helpful. The food and venue were great. The cake was so beautifully done, moist and delicious.

Highly recommend.

The food was supberb. The service was fantastic. Thee only complaint I have is the confusion with them having several entrances to thee establishment. I'm not sure if it a fire code issue, but they need to put signs for patrons to enter the front entrance as to be seated properly.

So, listen. I want to keep this place a secret but the food is so tasty that it is impossible to not talk it up. Their BLT salad is out of this world, their desserts are to die for, and their cold brew coffee is off the chain.

The Alley has some great memories from my childhood, and to reconnect with that piece of my life while eating an outstanding meal on a cozy patio just...feels like home.

This place is amazing! The menu is not big, but trust when I say the food that is on the menu is delecious!! Every bite of it! So I did not mind at all that the menu was not overloaded, it showed that what they do serve is mastered. The snicker doodle desert was out of this world! The salad with blood orange dressing was delecious and the turkey sandwich was the best I've ever had

Lunch was terrific, weather was perfect to sit outside. Very generous portions. Enough to take some home. Delicious food.

Fantastic hidden gem of a restaurant. Love the atmosphere, baked treats, and brunch. You can t go wrong with anything on the menu.

Very friendly service! Beautiful outside seating area! Food very good. Save room for dessert.

Went for brunch and everything was delicious. We had the breakfast club on a croissant, and the breakfast pizza. For dessert we got the bread pudding, which is definitely worth trying.

We will be going back soon.

This place is excellent, but it seems like the value for food is going down. I'm more reviewing the only dish I've ever ordered there. After all, the menu is relatively simple. After Snooze had an 1 hr wait I said, "Let's go to Bread Box--it's my favorite french toast in town." Well, the 4th time I went for the french toast the portions were roughly half what they were the first 3 times I ordered it. This was true for both myself and another person with me. It used to be a mini loaf of awesomeness, but this time it was like 2 thick french toast sticks from the freezer section at HEB...but for 9 bucks without anything but some grapes and pineapple (No eggs, meat, hash browns so I ordered a medium sized croissant for $4 extra). The portion was also significantly less than other plates in our party. It was not only smaller but cooled much more quickly, as well, since it was smaller french toast sticks instead of loaf shaped. I asked about if portions had grown smaller but they said it's just how they slice it differently sometimes but it's the same portion. So maybe I've grown, but unfortunately this is no longer my french toast spot.

Thank you for a lovely lunch. We had a small Baby shower at The Bread Box and everyone was so pleased and happy with the food, the service, the atmosphere. Thank you so much!!!! The Bread Box gets Yummy faces! This sweet restaurant is located at Artisan Alley on Bitters Road. After your delicious lunch, you can do some shopping!

I went here after passing it by everyday at work. It's a little confusing to get to due to the layout of the property.. but it is worth the trouble!

I ordered their Bread Box burger and every bite was savory. All the ingredients were fresh you could hear the lettuce snap and crunch with every bite.

Staff was very friendly. Went over the menu and offerings very well. Upon leaving I grabbed some fresh baked desserts.

The place was AMAZING!! My husband and I just went for brunch and we left with huge smiles on our faces! The Food was excellent and the service was Amazing as well. We found our new favorite spot!!

Lovely place for breakfast or lunch. Great people and super delicious breads. We finished with an oatmeal cream pie made from scratch. We should have bought more!
