James Beard–nominated bakery and café La Panadería will open its newest San Antonio location in Stone Oak on this Wednesday, marking the brand’s fifth outpost in the city.
The 6,600-square-foot bakery and restaurant, 1011 N. Loop 1604 E., will celebrate its grand opening with a public event from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. and a ribbon cutting scheduled for 11:30 a.m. A DJ and the UTSA Cheerleaders are scheduled to attend.
The Stone Oak unit is La Panadería’s largest location to date and includes 100 dedicated parking spaces. The project represents a $3.5 million investment and has created approximately 100 new jobs in San Antonio, according to the company.
Guests can expect the same menu offerings found at other locations — authentic Mexican pastries, all-day breakfast, brunch and lunch options, as well as coffee, fresh juices, beer, wine and cocktails. The location will also feature customizable tortas and salads.
The opening also will mark the debut of La Panadería’s first-ever mascot, Don Lino, who will appear at the grand opening ceremony.
Named after a fictional baker from childhood stories shared by the Cáceres brothers — La La Panadería’s founders and owners — Don Lino was created to honor generations of bakers who inspired the family’s craft. The character’s backstory was written by José Cáceres’ son, Emiliano Cáceres Manzano, and is available on La Panadería’s website.
