Olmos Pluma — Restaurant in San Antonio

I can't say enough amazing things about Erin and Olmos Perk! We rented Olmos Perk this past Saturday for my daughter's birthday and I have to say it was the most amazing party I've had for any of my kids.

First I'm going to start off with the venue. Olmos Perk has great parking! The lot is large and there is plenty of space to park. There is a patio in the front of the building for this coffee shop with umbrellas for shade. This coffee stop is right out of Friends but with a Glam/Texas twist. The setup inside is basically small to large tables and all types of chairs. It really is the Central Perk of Texas! We felt so comfortable and the party felt like I had this in my own home. There was a spot for everyone, from the introverts to extroverts! Everyone was able to find a place to hang out.

We had looked at 4 other places to host my daughter's party and besides the venue, what really sold me was Erin (the owner). She is so bubbly and fun and within 5 mins I was already telling my husband that I wanted to have the party here. She was the most amazing host. She handled all the apps, food, drinks, desserts and more! Throughout the whole party she made sure that I had something to drink and eat, she took care of all my guest and went above and beyond. Some of the kids didn't want to eat and she made them a special tray of sandwiches! They devoured the tray! She also made sure that the music was flowing and had board games available for the kids to play. She even started to decorate for us when we were running late. She was the BEST host and I would recommend to have your party at her place even just to experience her hospitality!

The food was all perfect! I had a Paris themed party and she nailed it with the afternoon tea setup. She even made pink watermelon aguas frescas for all of my guest. There was this large charcuterie board with all the little extras; jam, fruits, meats and cheeses. She made an amazing artichoke and spinach dip that was coming out hot and my guest devoured it! She had all the little finger sandwiches plus some extra goodies.

If you are looking to plan your next event, really give Erin a call and go check out Olmos Perk. Plus the coffee is...

Upon arrival a woman greeted us and explained everything they have to offer which was wonderful! We ordered all beverages in the 16 oz size. My husband ordered an iced caramel and vanilla breve, my son ordered an iced almond joy latte, my daughter ordered an iced caramel and vanilla latte and I ordered an iced sugar free vanilla americano. A man made all of the drinks. When the breve was done I went to the counter to get it and it was 12oz hot breve. I told him it was supposed to be an iced 16 oz breve. He said, "I only make hot breves." We ordered it as iced and 16 oz size and was not told it couldn't be iced nor did he offer to make us something else. He then made the rest of the drinks and called us up to get them and kept calling the name AJ. I was confused as to why we were called AJ as none of us are AJ, I just assumed the gal who took our order thought that was one of our names even though we didn't give a name. We took the rest of the drinks and sat down to wait for our food. The coffee in my iced americano was burnt. My sons almond joy latte was just a plain iced latte and his cup said "AJ iced latte". I wasn't going to take his coffee up to be corrected due to how we were treated with the breve. It then dawned on me why the man kept calling us AJ....the man took the almond joy abbreviation the gal wrote on the cup as my son's name and not as almond joy. I understand this error was an innocent mistake, and if he wasn't so rude about the breve I would have asked for the coffee to be redone. Also, if they are going to use abbreviations all employees should know what they mean. We were never asked how the coffee or food was. The sandwiches we good, nothing amazing, but good. Customer service needs improved. I was disappointed since the reviews I had read were so good. Very cute and clean atmosphere inside...

In short? I Really enjoyed everything. In detail? Read on 🙂🙂

I found this location on Google (of course). I was looking for a quiet coffee shop to work from today with a great atmosphere. Although I didn’t get the quiet I certainly got the atmosphere. I ordered a Turmeric Latte (because how often is that on a menu) I love Golden Milk and I know there is an art to making this drink with balance. The owner suggested “soup and a scoop” for my lunch (scoop of her homemade chicken salad and tortilla soup) I over heard her talking about how she doesn’t put onion in her chicken salad.. I was already dreading my decision lol I mean green onion and chicken salad are the milk and cookies of lunch😩. Time went on and I didn’t get a drink or meal for almost an hour. I wasn’t too worried but calmly reminded the owner that I hadn’t received my drink or meal. She stated that she had forgotten and was genuinely apologetic. Now this is not a bad thing because I saw her spinning about with a small lunch group of demanding older ladies. My food was brought to me with urgency. What do you know? This was the best ONION-LESS CHICKEN SALAD I’ve trusted my taste buds to eat! The combination of flavors was a great experience! The soup was full of flavor as well it reminded me of my mom’s veggie soup. I love to see fresh chopped veggies and seasonings in my soup! I really enjoyed this experience. Small local businesses are the heart of the community! I didn’t mind waiting and even being forgotten because I saw how hard she worked to satisfy customers. After being offered a complimentary muffin and assuring her I was okay and understood... Today of all days (Mardi Gras) for a New Orleans native homesick and craving king cake .. I was given a complementary cinnamon pastry which after the first bite reminded me of home and satisfied...
