There is a serious shortage of great baked goods in this area of San Antonio, but The Pastry Corner definitely helps make up for that! I found this place when I googled "scones near me" because I haven't had a good scone since moving here from DFW almost 2 years ago! Google led me to the Pastry Corner, which is conveniently located only about 15 minutes from my work. I drove over on a chilly early afternoon to pick up a scone, but as soon as I walked in and saw the pastry case, I knew I was in trouble! There were so many delectable items to choose from, that I ended up buying: 2 savory pastries/danishes, 1 blueberry scone, 1 hazelnut croissant, 1 chocolate croissant, 1 jam-filled cruffin, a ham and cheese croissant, and 1 vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting. We ate our way through the pastries over the next few days, and were not disappointed in the quality. The pastries were all flaky and light, perfectly laminated dough! The scone was one of the best I've had, and I shared it with some coworkers who were also suitably impressed. The only items that could use a little improvement were the ham and cheese croissant and the cupcake. The ham was in a thick slab, which made it difficult to eat and didn't provide a great texture for the interior of the croissant. Either thin sliced ham piled up inside or diced ham would be better, I think. The cupcake was good, and the frosting was light and delicious, not too sweet, but the cake itself was a little dry and crumbly and didn't have a ton of flavor. I still enjoyed it, mind you, but it wasn't perfection (not many things are in life, right?). I will definitely be back at least once a month to buy a passel of pastries! I am also looking forward to trying their coffee and tea drinks, which smelled heavenly! The location itself is small and quaint, with a small side parking lot that looks to be consistently full. There is additional parking across the street though, so no worries. Sorry for the lack of pictures, I was so in awe of the baked goods I forgot to take any while I was there,...
Read moreStopped by to check this place out. It’s relatively new to downtown Cibolo, Texas called the Pastry Corner. Awesome little place to try! Old house renovated into this bakery. Indoor and outdoor seating available. My wife got the blueberry white chocolate scone and a vanilla latte. I got a lemon pound cake and ice water.
Blueberry White Chocolate Scone 8/10 - the pastry texture was excellent with a little flaky and toasted crunch. The only negative was it could have had more blueberries.
Vanilla Latte 8/10 - good flavor profile. The vanilla flavor was perfect. Could still taste the coffee flavor also.
Lemon Pound Cake 5/10 - I love lemon, but for me personally it was too overwhelming. It had a very pronounced sugar hit as well. If you love lemon, I’d suggest you at least try it.
Atmosphere 10/10 - the old house being renovated into this bakery is perfect with the old Cibolo theme. It totally works for this area. It’s decorated perfectly snd has a cozy feel. It has indoor seating that is extremely clean and put together. The outdoor seating is a huge patio/porch with good seating. It’s beautiful outside with the trees and plants.
Service 9/10 - the staff was very friendly and helpful.
Overall 9/10 - it’s our new...
Read moreToday I went to a place in Cibolo called Pastry Corner, and from the moment I walked in, the amazing smells told me it was going to be delicious. The atmosphere was so cozy and inviting – you know that oddly satisfying way Lowe's smells with the changing seasons? It had that kind of inviting, delicious aroma. They had an incredible menu of baked goods, from what looked like wonderfully thick brownies to something intriguing called pizza bread.
After a good meal at Catalano's Pizzeria across the street (which I've also shared my thoughts on), I was looking for something a bit lighter at Pastry Corner and opted for the lemon-blueberry scone. It was absolutely delicious – noticeably softer than most scones I've had, which was a pleasant surprise, and packed with real big, juicy blueberries. It was the perfect lighter treat!
I will definitely be going back to try that pizza bread. It was a fantastic experience, and I can't wait to visit Pastry...
