My husband goes there alot to bring home breakfast for my daughter and I before we go to work. It is always fresh & hot no matter what we order. The ham & cheese kolache is brimming with melted cheese & ham, our favorite. The sweet rolls have soft, yummy filling on top & a little crunch crunch when you bite it. My favorite is the cream cheese, my daughter likes the lemon. Definitely a great start to your day!

Breakfast hogs are delightful! Especially when followed with a scrumptious French pastry. Good pricing too. Totally worth it!

Best breakfast and lunch place around! Once I was told about this place and I visited it, I fell in love. I haven't tried anything that wasn't good. I go so much that they even know my name as well as my husband and kids lol. This place is amazing and a must try. You won't be disappointed!

I have loved S&J Bakery since the day they opened. The customer service and the taste have not changed. Thank you S&J for sharing this fabulous food with us. If I could eat S&J everyday it would make me so happy. We need one in Saint Hedwig/San Antonio area.
