Bear Moon Bakery Cafe — Restaurant in Boerne

When we first moved to Boerne, this was easily one of our favorite places to pop in. The pastries are delightful (shout out to the chocolate croissants) and my wife was a big fan of the Cookies and Milk Evenings! Such a fabulous midweek pick me up! The trail mix (still sold) is also out of this world good; great for snacks and road trips.

However, its restriction of open hours has been really hard. Whenever we want to pop by spontaneously (typically evenings) we realize they won’t be open. Now I understand that COVID-19 concern has really done a number on small businesses like this. It’s terrible that a wonderful shop like Bear Moon would suffer and struggle, which is why I assume the hours are reduced. Unfortunately though, this is one of the few shops in Boerne that still has a mask mandate (?!?!) as of May 5, 2 months after our governor ended it. Cases didn’t go up, they went down and continue to. Hard to support this political virtue signaling. Hard to comprehend it too, for a small business affected as I’m sure it was by the panic over distancing and masking. I’m a PA and faculty in Emergency Medicine; let me say, it’s really time to give...

Outstanding, delicious, high priced food….

To Management: Why are you placing rainbow hearts on take out bags? I’m assuming you are either: (1) celebrating a miracle baby who was born following a mother's miscarriage, also known as a rainbow baby, or (2) celebrating gay pride, because the rainbow has historically symbolized equality for the LGBTQ+ community. If it's (2), then I feel you are discriminating against people who are not lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer. I get it, the heart shape is recognized the world over as a symbol of love and affection, but why exclude the majority to bring attention to a minority? Doesn’t it make more sense to place ❤️ or 💜 heart stickers on your bags, to be more inclusive? Both these colors are commonly used to represent love, support, close bonds, and admiration for everyone; LGBTQ, heterosexual, black, white, brown, etcetera. Even a 💚 is generally used to convey love and other strong, affectionate, positive feelings.

Your motto is cool….”The Mission of the Community Bakery is to nourish the community Heart”. Just make sure you include all hearts and not just...

It's unfortunate that people don't feel the need to be friendly or anything. I came in a couple of days ago to ask them about being able to get certain items for a wedding day breakfast this weekend. The people that I dealt with that day were friendly and advised me that I should come in Friday morning at 7am to get the items to make sure I had them in time for Saturdays wedding.

I came in at 7am and was told, "nope we don't have it and I'm not making any." No apology for telling me prior that they would. No smile even to be like, oh I'm so sorry for any misunderstanding we just don't have it at this time. Just nothing but a brush off and treating like I was a bother. (Not by the cashier, but the baker)

I'm sorry, but during these times people are being choosier with where they spend their money... being kind will...
