This is what I love about San Antonio is these mom & pop places that are one in a million! You know the feeling when you go to your grandmas house? This is the feeling. Its cozy and the lady that owns this place is so welcoming and sweet. She takes care of you. The prices are good and the pastries are wonderful! This is just a cafe for sandwich, pastries and coffee. Cozy Deli. Not a big selection but the pastries you cant find just anywhere. You have to try this place Im a regular.

This local cafe is so precious. The coffee is delightful. The dessert options are to die for. And the owner is kind and hard working. So worth a visit

I stopped by this little gem on recommendation from a friend who said the croissants were to die for. He was absolutely right! Air soft and buttery, I didnt meant to eat two whole ones, but I just couldn’t resist.

I cant believe Ive lived so close to this place for so many years and never visited! Incredible little cafe hidden away. The nicest Italian lady will serve you and have wonderful conversation with you. Very chic little place with a delightful homey feel. Youll feel like youre in Grandmas kitchen again. If youre into just black coffee, this probably isnt the place. If you want pastries, light meals, and the like, then you cannot miss this place. Cappuccinos are delectible and professionally crafted (the owner is Italian after all!). I cant believe I lived many years of my life without this place, please learn from my mistake and go here today!

I ate here with my friends the other day and the service was great. The ladies were very friendly and nice. The food was yummy and felt home cooked. Mostly sandwiches, so this place is great for lunch.Try the Italian Cream Soda!! I stole a sip of my brother’s and I wish I ordered one myself. My cafe mocha was still great though. I also got a yummy ruben sandwich 😍 Their cannolis are the BEST I’ve had in San Antonio, hands down. There are other famous and great bakeries here, but Buon Giorno Cafe’s is the Best, imo.I’m never on this side of town usually, but I’d definitely drive over here just to have lunch at this wonderful hidden gem again. ❤️

Quiet, small unassuming coffee shop with pastries and sandwiches. Had espresso with an apple pastry. The apple pastry was warm and scrumptious. Espresso was excellant. The two ladies behind the counter were friendly and very helpful. I felt like I was in Moms kitchen. Homey atmosphere. A couple of tables outside if you want to sit and enjoy. I love this place! I will come back as often as I can. The owner is a sweet Italian lady that bakes and makes all the cakes such as Tiramisu, Zuppa Inglese. She also makes the Cannoli and Cannocini. I actually dont want to ever leave. LOLHad the tuna melt with fruit, no chips. Yummy!!! Melon and watermelon was fresh and full of flavor.Nothing like a Zuppa Inglese with coffee!Ciao my friends!

Its been a while but we went with a group of 6, there was only one other table (of 2) in the cafe and the service was terrible. They were rude and actually complained about having to come back to the table multiple times. Complained that we were ordering more food! She said we shouldve ordered everything we wanted at the beginning because she didnt want to keep coming back. We had all ordered our meals but having seen our tasted each others some people wanted to add a soup or pastry and apparently it was a problem. We will never go back. A cute ambiance and good food doesnt permit blatant rudeness and poor customer service.

If you ever dreamed of a sweet Italian lady moving to San Antonio and opening up her own little coffee shop here in San Antonio, then your dreams have come true.This place has the charm and feel of your Italia mom’s living room, without having to travel to Europe.Come here for lunch or for a coffee and pastry and you will be transported to Italia.I have been coming to this establishment since I was eight years old and I can definitely say it feels like home.

This small Italian style Cafe is a perfect place for a relaxed lunch with others. The food selections are simple yet delicious. The real surprises come in the form of their deserts and Italian soda. I enjoy every visit there. Not to mention that its been there for so long, Im still surprised that not many people know about it. Definitely worth a trip.

While Im in the area, I came here today looking for something quick but no chain. I am simply in love with this place. The food is amazingly good. Not in the way that they stuff you sick with food or something so fancy that you rarely go, just simple good food, felt like my grandma was making me lunch when I was a kid again. The ambience, service and food all come together for a wonderful dining experience.

Review №33

I visited Buon Giorno mid week for lunch with my daughter and my sister and her son. The service was quick. We ordered a sandwich and soup. The soup tasted like it came out of a can but the sandwich was good. The almond coffee was delicious and much cheaper than Starbucks. I was planning to visit frequently just for coffee alone ...until the owner came over and spoke to my daughter. She was eating cheerios, and dropping them on the floor occasionally, as every one year old does. The owner was clearly irritated by it and asked my daughter if she was going to clean it up... Shes one! :/ So all in all, coffee is great, but this is definitely not a kid friendly restaurant.

Wow, a very cozy hidden gem. Not an extensive menu but good food. Mostly soups, sandwiches, and pastries. Extremely friendly service. Had the lunch combo of minestrone soup and a Reuben sandwich. My wife had the same combo with a seafood salad on a croissant and minestrone as well. The Italian sodas are great and the cannolis are as well.

Review №44

If I had Italian heritage, I imagine this is the place my grandmother would open up. Seriously, its bizarre, its like all of my grandmas Southern motifs and foods were replaced with Italian ones. This place walked out of 1968 and into my heart. Its so cozy, and not too culturally exclusive that I couldnt figure out how to order. The coffee is fantastic, the food is comforting on a soul food level, and the people remind me more of my extended family than of employees (in a good way).

This cute cafe is a blue plate winner, so I had to come check it out.When you first walk in its like stepping into an antique shoppe.

Very very homey. Very.The food is decent and carefully prepared but be aware, you arent getting gourmet entrees. This is seriously down-home your 80 yr old grandma would probably serve you the same thing when you pop by for a visit type dishes. Canned soup, super basic sandwiches, bagged chips, etc.; awesome coffee though. I have seen only a few bakery type treats at the counter but those look store bought too. I dont think anything is home made here.We continue to go back often for lunches because it is familiar food that my not-adventurous eating family is comfortable with.And the ladies that work/own it are fabulously friendly and inviting.

This place is owned by an Italian lady and the espresso is great! They have great home made cookies, pecan coconut is my favorite so far.

Review №63

Wanted to try it out after a recommendation as I am half Italian and my wife is 100% Italian. She always likes a good pastry. Nothing there seemed to pique her fancy. When we pulled up at 0735, the lady employee was on one of the front tables smoking a cigarette in front of the sign that said: No Smoking. Another sign said a No Smoking Establishment on the front door to the place. When we walked in there was a cloud of smoke that we had to walk through. I got a Colombian Cafe. It was so so. My wife did get anything. It was empty inside.

Great Desserts, Great Cappuccino. My wife asked for a hot chocolate and the waitress said yes but it was not on the menu and continued on with a speech with kind of made it seem like they were annoyed with the off menu request. (No hot chocolate on the menu?). Both waitresses were also intrusive on our conversation and could not work the register and at one point rang up $135. I did the math on my phone and was charged accordingly.

Perfect place to go on a rainy day. They always seem to have piano music playing and the hot chocolate is amazing along side the cannoli. My favorite dish of all is the chicken croissant sandwich. Fresh and delicious and when I crave it I gotta go have it at buoy giorno. The cafe itself is adorable and the severs treat you like your family, sweet grandmas with spunk. There’s a reason why I re- names this place as “Cute cafe” in my phone. If you haven’t tried it the your missing out. Find the hidden cafe tucked away and cozy as can be on your next rainy day and you won’t regret it.

Review №91

I was very disappointed in my experience here. The atmosphere is dated and the seating cheap. Plastic lawn chairs interspersed with wooden dining chairs and love seats that are very old and dirty. Im not inclined to sit in a cafe with uncomfortable chairs.My fiancee and I ordered chicken soup and were served campbells soup out of the can. If a restaurant in Italy served canned soup youd be shot. Dont insult my intelligence by saying you use a different noodle when I ask how the soup is made. At the very least own it and take it off my bill, because I dont go to an Italian cafe to be served canned soup. The coffee was fine.Maybe 15 years ago this place was nice, but I dont think they respect their customers if theyre willing to serve canned food and not admit it.
