La Villita Cafe

I was in town because my wife had a conference and I was working remote from the hotel and went looking for breakfast. Found this place and it was so delightful! I actually took my wife back for lunch!The staff is super nice and helpful. The tea and burgers are excellent. It's an old building but feels historic and not old.

I lived in San Antonio for over a year, hearing all the hype of this place but never got to visit so made sure it was on the list for my recent weekend trip. This restaurant is in the older historic part of town and is within a little shop area which is cute. You order at the counter and then your food is brought out to you. I ordered two breakfast tacos (sausage & egg, bacon & egg) and my friend ordered the cowboy burrito as it was the special. I enjoyed both of my tacos and was only surprised that the sausage was not your typical breakfast sausage and instead was more of a kielbasa style sausage. As for the cowboy burrito, I think both my friend and I were surprised at how small it was as it was comparable in size to just my regular taco. The employees are very friendly, the spot is cute amd the food is good but I do think it's a bit over hyped and wouldn't be a key breakfast spot I'd recommend if only in town for a couple of days - leave it to the locals for now.

A gem within a gem within a mess. If you have been near La Villita in the past three years you know how impacted it has been by all the construction on Alamo Street and in Civic Park. It is a hidden gem in normal times, but the "progress" downtown makes it almost like an Indiana Jones adventure just to find it. The same goes for the cafe hidden inside the village. BUT BOTH ARE WORTH THE EFFORT. The food in this cafe is better and more sophisticated than you would expect from the casual Old Mexico decor (which itself is very pleasant).The ingredients are always fresh and the dishes elevated beyond expectations.I almost always go for the omelette because of the fresh vegetables, but the breakfast tacos and homemade sauces are also excellent. On our last visit my daughter had the Artisan Village Wrap and was pleased. The Cucumber Sandwich and the Veggie Sandwich are not standard fare, and make this cafe a standout for healthy eaters.The service is always friendly and fast. Can't make it to San Miguel de Allende for breakfast? Head on down to La Villita Cafe.

Felt very comfortable going in for first time. Small staff was helpful, genuine and kind, actually. Had the Santa Ana Ranchero breakfast plate. Very simple, yet very good and tasty. The entire property, inside and out, the RiverWalk, the old style masonry work was all tremendously pleasant to experience. Love Downtown San Antonio & La Villita Cafe!!

Cute and vibrant eatery nestled in San Antonio's charming La Villita historic arts village. The staff is very welcoming and friendly, and the service is fast. You can choose to eat indoors or outdoors. We got a yogurt parfait, two egg you choose, and vanilla lattes. Great breakfast or brunch spot! Easy access to the river walk and the building has clean bathrooms as well, making it a must visit for starting a day in downtown San Antonio.

The cafe is lovely and a nice place to go to instead of an expensive hotel breakfast. It opens at 8 am. Their coffee is excellent and I learned that they use Folgers. The last time I was impressed with coffee I was surprised that it was also Folgers. There's something to be said about that brand when it's brewed right.The breakfast portion was generous, but the taste was typical.

Stumbled into this place one morning while staying on the Riverwalk... their vanilla lavender latte with oatmilk was very good and hit the spot! Located in a cute place with several shops etc right off the Riverwalk

I was in town visiting and a friend suggested we try this place. When we got there the restaurant was buzzing. However, it became pretty clear the priority of all staff was a large to go order. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich and a tomato soup for my friend. The food took 40 minutes to come out. Additionally when the sandwich came out it was another ten minutes before the soup came out. When asking the server about it, she was extremely rude. The food was okay, the fries are definitely frozen and it felt basically like something you could order from a concession stand. I am sure there are better choices around. Perhaps breakfast is better based on other reviews, but be warned of servers with attitude.

Food, service and ambience was wonderful! Had breakfast here and it was the best meal of our whole trip!

It was so busy during breakfast. You know the food is good when the line goes out the door. The food was great!!
