La Esmeralda Bakery

This place is amazing! They made my sisters birthday cake, and it was sooo good. This is By far the best bakery in San Antonio. They have really good food at a fair price. The people that work there are so pleasant and helpful. I would recommend this place to anybod

Underwhelming. Drove all the way out here based on the high rating. This is sweet bread, not pan dulce. Lots of sugar but no character. The presentation in the cases was a turn off. They have the pastries on paper so you see circles of grease where the pastries were sitting. The biscuits were on the flat side, missing the right combination of ingredients, were not bad just not really good. The empanadas were uninspired. Maranitos (gingerbread pigs) were too heavy on the syrup and sugar. This bakery might have niche appeal but has no cross over appeal, say, like Panifico which is way better.

The donuts melt in your mouth warm or not. They are just crispy enough on the outside-tastes just like a funnel cake. This woman can bake. I recommend her bakery to everyone.

The conchas from this bakery are amazing! They are so soft and they don't fall apart when you bite into them. I have not tasted any other items from this bakery but if you love conchas as much as I do, you'll realize the quality of these are way better than most bakeries. PS. the unicorn conchas are a must try!!

I have been going to this place as long as I can remember-it's excellent best pan dulce. I don't go as often bcuz I live so far away. When I'm out on that side of town I will try to remember to make a stop

Who doesn't love a bakery (panaderia)!?! It's is all so delicious. I like the jelly filled donuts and piggies (marranitos). Right now they have bunuelos for the holiday's and offer specialty cakes all year round. You know milk and sweet bread goes hand and hand so they have that too.

The bread is delicious and freshly made. The people that run this business are extremely nice and helpful. I will definitely be back. I highly recommend this bakery.

Really fresh bread, taste was on point the ladies we're very sweet. I am from out of state and wanted pan dulce
