The Austin area outpost of Bakery Lorraine, the popular French-inspired bakery and cafe with a few locations in San Antonio, is a great spot to kickstart the day with some house-made pastries and coffee. Grab a twice-baked almond croissant if you’re on the go, or sit down for a full menu of breakfast and lunch entrees. We like the croissant sandwiches and quiche lorraine, but there’s also an excellent BLT made with crispy pancetta between a few slices of house sourdough.
