Bird Bakery

My favorite lunch spot! It is the cutest place ever!
Its always a battle to choose between the California Turkey and the chicken salad! Tip — if you do get the chicken salad ask for it with their gluten-​free crackers instead of the sandwich for a healthier option!
Also, their desserts and coffee are awesome!

Bird Bakery did an amazing job on my bridal shower cake, the process was seamless, even though I wanted something out of the norm of their usual style they agreed to do it and their pastry chef did a beautiful job! It looks just like the picture I brought in. Lots of compliments from guests on the flavor, I know they always have amazing cakes and that initially why I chose them it was a bonus they were able to produce my design. very pleased! I’ll continue to come back for my custom cakes.

Excellent bakery and food! A wonderful place to dine-​in or take-​out! Definite gem in SA!

Bought a dozen cupcakes for a birthday, and received many compliments. The Elvis was the most loved of all the flavors, but they really all were amazing. Very cute shop. I will go back for a nice breakfast/​brunch.

Best cupcakes in San Antonio. I had the vanilla caramel cupcake and sea salt caramel latte. It was so delicious.

Bird Bakery is so, so Instagram-​worthy. All of it. From the cupcakes in egg cartons to the wooden utensils for self service. But Instagram-​worthy comes at a high price. Honestly every time I come here, I find the food very un-​memorable but the cost for cute always stays in my mind.
The cupcakes are really cute and they have a lot of interesting flavors. The cake part is not super sweet and is pretty moist. The frosting is also not super sweet and piled high so I really appreciate that. I’ve also had a grilled cheese sandwich. A very expensive grilled cheese sandwich. It was pretty good.
My favorite thing about Bird is the self service area. The wooden utensils are just too cute. It’s fun that they sell cute little home goods so you can recreate all this cute in your own home.
My least favorite thing is the non itemized receipt. I know that they put their pricing out but I still want to see everything clearly on my receipt. I also hate the small parking lot during a busy hour but they can’t help that they are popular.
Anyway, I’ll probably be back to try other things since I’m a sucker for cute things.

I honestly think this place is overrated. Everything is so so sweet, to the point to where its not good. My hibiscus tea tasted like peppermint tea. The seating is super uncomfortable. Its loud. They have a hand towel in the bathroom and a sign that says you cant use it??? I don’t get that. Their sandwiches are pretty good, I’ll give them that. I would much rather go to Commonwealth, so much yummier and comfier!

Great cupcakes for a good price. I love that everyday they have a wide selection of cupcake flavors and its right across the street from the best coffee in town, Local Coffee. So it’s a sweet deal to pop into this place, grab a cupcake– then head across the street for amazing coffee.

Such a CUTE place to have a cupcake and coffee. The staff is very friendly and great. So much cupcake selection. I went with 5 other people and we had to squeeze into a small table with pretty fragile chairs. Not good for big parties unless you can grab one of the two large tables. It doesn’t make sense that 2 sets of couples like to sit on the large tables making a big party sit on the small tables. Coffee and cupcakes were… just good, can’t complain. I’d say… give this place a try, don’t think anyone will be disappointed. the place is too CUTE!

Put a bird in it!!! Unbelievable. The owner told us the carrot cake is amazing. And it was amazing. Unreal texture. Everything homemade and beyond moist. May be my favorite cupcake place I’ve ever tried. Beats sprinkles. What an amazing find!!! Worth the drive for sure.

Their chicken salad sandwich is just perfect! They use some of the best bread I have tasted. Cupcakes are ok.

Awww this shop is super cute and I’m in love. I bought 12 «little ones» cupcakes and they are so dainty and pretty to eat. The cake was moist as well, but the frosting is a little sugary for my taste but it doesn’t help that I am not a huge frosting girl. Overall, it’s really cute and a nice place to hangout and eat sweets.

I got a coconut cream cupcake and a classic strawberry cupcake! They were so yummy and super sweet. The only real complaint is that it was a little expensive. It came out to $ 6 something which I thought was a bit much for cupcakes! Overall, I love the atmosphere and the food so I wouldn’t hesitate to go back!

Birds is for the birds, and even the birds don’t like. More on that later. All show, no substance here. The bakery is nicely decorated and the cupcakes look like they would taste good… But these are just dry rocks that over sugared. Not only do these cupcakes taste like some mutant HEB concoction, they also gave me the instant #2s. Thank god the bathroom was pretty cause it made doing my business more pleasant. I washed my hands and dried my hands on some hand towel that showed some birds eating a heart. Afterwards I noticed this ultra annoying sign that said «Do Not Dry Your Hands on this Hand Towel.» Oops, too late.
Along with the crappy cupcakes (Fresh Strawberry tastes like expired Smuckers jam) I also had the Tarragon Chicken Salad sandwich. This was also a huge disappointment. Too many competing favors. This tastes as bad as sandwiches I make myself and I’m an awful sandwich artist (fired by Subway in 2005). I tried to feed the bread from my half eaten sandwich to birds outside and to my surprise even they were rejecting it! That is a bad sign that even birds won’t eat at Birds.

Fantastic cupcakes and great choices in all! Grrat atmosphere, nice employees, fun décor.
I had ‘The Elvis’ it was bananna, chocolate, and peanut butter. It was delightfully delicious!
Only annoyance was the privileged women creating their own parkin spaces when there was plenty available.

There is a point where art is both precise and nonchalant, and so effortlessly beautiful that it becomes impossible to distinguish the various details that make everything fit so perfectly. Bird Bakery is this kind of art– it’s glamorous without trying.
Hands down the best carrot cake I’ve ever had. In addition to your typical carrot cake, they also feature golden raisins and pineapple chucks. Icing is divine, and while the cupcake is phenomenal I must say it takes a cake to get the full effect. As far as the cupcakes go– salted caramel, peanut butter, and lavender lemon are my favorites. I don’t particularly love chocolate, but they are very popular with my friends!
The lemon bars are very good, and I’m also a HUGE fan of the monster cookie (oatmeal, peanuts, chocolate chips, M&Ms). The teas are also very good, I like to order either green or passion tea. Also, get a sandwich!!! The egg salad is my favorite, partially due to my obsession with their seeded bread.
This is just such a cute place to go on a date, with a significant other or just a group of friends. The panels that sit below the pastry case are actually doors imported from France, the writing on the wall is beautiful and inspiring. They have recently expanded to the left of the building, increasing their seating space by about 50 percent. Despite all the changes, Bird is just beautiful.
Let it be known, Elizabeth Chambers is as beautiful inside as she is outwardly. She’s done an excellent job with this business, and I think she’s a great role model for young girls.

Ok. I’m going to proceed as best I can, but my mind was just blown by the complete deliciousness of a Snowbird at this precious little bakery! Ask for one… you won’t miss the parts of your brain that explode when the goodness of this coffee drink hits your taste buds. BlueBell vanilla with a pour over of some really fine espresso. You’ll thank me.
The famous carrot cake cupcake was a bit of a disappointment. Waaaay too much icing! And too much carrot not enough cake. However, the Fresh Coconut cupcake was dense with flavor and ended our splurge… ALL SMILES!

So conflicted.
I want to love you birds, your location is so nice and convenience is a huge factor for someone with a small kiddo. The thing is, your flavors are either amazing or blah. No middle ground.
The nostalgia cupcake had frosting to die for. OMG, was it silky and chocolatey and just the right level of sweet.
But somehow the multiple occasions I visit, your cupcake seems slightly stale (I’ve noticed other reviews commenting this too), as though your early morning cupcake makers maybe start with too many or too early and by the time they frost the «backup» supply for afternoon demands they’ve been exposed to a lot of air.
This is all speculation of course but none the less it rings true when the frosting is so divine that the cake ruins it by being stiff and less malleable than the frosting.
Other flavors have bombed entirely. The «fresh strawberry» frosting rates nothing but sugar to my tongue and I’m a sugarholic. The flavors of the cakes tend to be lost to the overwhelming frosting, so I’ve stopped bothering with flavored cake and let the frosting have it’s day.
But they hollow out the middle to add more frosting. On the nostalgic I understand because Damn if that isn’t the softest frosting to ever grace my mouth. But on the other flavors I feel it’s way to much frosting to cake ratio.
Then the coffee. Not impressed. It doesn’t rate as high as the cupcake did to be honest. Amazing deserves amazing. I was disappointed by how long it took just to get a flat and bland taste from a salted caramel drink that I tasted No salted caramel.
Interior is cute as the logo suggests, and I applaud the stickers for cupcake storage given to large orders so you know how they need to be kept to save the integrity.
However, $ 3 for a large and $ 2 for a mini…
Really guys?
And it’s not 3 year old I wanna touch everything, «ooh mommy what’s up there, can I climb to see it?» friendly.
So while I enjoy the cupcake of nostalgic goodness, everything else is take or leave it for me.

Adorable! It’s like a pin out of Pinterest. The interior is farmhouse chic with a bit of Parisian influence.
I was visiting my mom in San Antonio and she kept talking about this cupcake place. I’m more of a savory girl myself, so I went because my mom was so excited to show off her new find. Once we arrived, however, my sweet tooth kicked in.
They have cookies, homemade granola or sugary Chex mix, the cupcakes are plentiful with a great variety of flavors, and their cakes are beautiful! I can only imagine how much joy someone gets when they see their birthday cake from this place.
The staff were very efficient and kind. My niece asked for a chocolate cupcake, but once she bit into it she found it was spicy. One of the employees happily gave her an alternate to enjoy.
There is a side room that you can reserve. It would be perfect to host a shower, a meeting, or just getting together for lunch, which they serve sandwiches too.
I’m glad my mom kept talking about this place! Try it for yourself… you won’t be sorry.

Stopped by this bakery to pick up a small pack of 6 minis. It was pretty busy and much larger than I thought. They had other items for sale and lots of tables to enjoy your treats at.
I ended up ordering basically one of each of their minis and their seasonal special which was blueberry pancakes. Their cupcakes were so moist and flavorful. I really liked how their pancake cupcake tasted exactly like it sounds and their frosting was maple flavored!
The cupcakes can be a little too sweet, but I rounded up to 5 stars for creativity. Seriously, who wouldn’t be happy if you showed up with a pack of minis in egg cartons! Simple beautiful and genius!
