Small, calm, and friendly cafe

Stopped here for some lunch at this cute café and we're surprised first by the amount of bakery options on display. Cinnamon rolls, cupcakes, kolaches, and many more ready to go. We did not try any but they looked very good! Instead, we had two of their papusas (al pastor and BN&Ch) that were fantastic. I've never had a vegan papusa and it was a delightful surprise. The pickled cabbage served alongside it was also delicious. For my main meal I had the sweet potato hash which was really good! It did have some regular potatoes mixed in but I didn't mind. Other members in my party also enjoyed their Cuban sandwhich and breakfast burrito. The service is a little slow but the lady at the counter was very friendly and we were in no rush so it was fine.

Delightful

Staff was super friendly and helpful. Their tofu scramble croissant was the best I’ve ever had 🙌 Also took the oatmeal cream pie, concha, and chocolate hazelnut croissant. So yummy!

Pros: So much variety , Friendly , Taste good

Cons: High demand in order = longer wait times

Visited twice

Met a friend there for lunch, and returned a couple of days later with my daughter. Everything we had was tasty, the service was excellent, and the space is inviting.

Cheesecake!

The cheesecake has to be my top favorite item here! And then the chocolate chip cookies. The pupusas are delicious too with the side of curtido and salsa with the plantain chips. Staff is always friendly

Affordable prices AND amazing food!!

Incredible baked goods,- best vegan croissants I've encountered anywhere. And I've tried quite a few :). The flavor combos for the ham and cheese croissant were extraordinary, like nothing I've experienced since becoming vegan. They were so rich and delightful. We got soup to go, and it was an amazing part of our dinner. For less than $35, we got enough food for dinner, breakfast and to complement our lunch the next day. We were there late in the day, and part of what led to the amazing price is they discount the hot baked goods that have been in the warming oven for a while. Affordable prices and amazing food!! #Veganuary

Delicious!

They had a lunch special with half a sandwich or pupusa and soup or salad. The Italian Chickpea Stew was wonderful. Loved the bean and cheese pupusas. The little cheesecakes are amazing. Great cookies.

Pros: Great food, Reasonable prices, So many choices

Been going here since it opened up at this location and have never been disappointed! I even had them make my birthday cake one year, which was amazing. The staff is always great too!

Excellent option near the Medical Center

Pretty excited to try this place out as I was in between appointments, and I was pleasantly surprised. The dessert was amazing, and I tried that first since I had to wait for my sandwich. It was amazing! I don’t remember what it’s called but the cake was nice and moist. I could’ve used a little bit more filling but it was still amazing!
The croissant ham & cheese was good but paired with the plantain chips, it was all a bit too oily for me. Regardless, I loved the seasoning on the plantains. I originally ordered the tacos but they were unable to leave off cilantro (yuck, it tastes like soap to me) as it is mixed in with the soya.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Conveniently located , Delicious desserts

Cons: Small parking lot—it could make a visit difficult, It smelled strange inside, idk that smell , N/A

Delicious and pink

The food was scrumptious and the atmosphere divine. I had the blueberry scone and it was moist and flaky and perfect. I also had the spinach kolache which had the light white bread texture of a bolillo and a nice spinach mash inside. I added extra salt. It was light and delicious.

I wasn’t so excited about the Cuban Sandwich. It was a slice of grilled tofurkey over an eggplant mash with melted vegan cheese but it didn’t come together — and was nothing like a Cuban.

The smoothie was too thick to draw up through the thin paper straw.

Atmosphere and baked goods were supreme however!

Nice Treat

They had lots of savory options to balance the sweet. My friend got a chickpea "chicken" sandwich and liked it a lot. I enjoyed my various desserts.

Don’t get the pop tarts

I ordered a bunch of pop tarts for a party and an extra one to snack on. I took one bite and immediately spit it out. It tasted like someone had sprayed a cleaning product on them or mixed in soap. I got two flavors and tried one of the others and same strong cleaner taste. It was super disappointing and wasteful.

Fantastic Find

My husband and I are in town for a few days and have eaten here 3 times for breakfast and lunch. The food is delicious and flavorful.
It is a small, clean, cafe and bakery. We have had the kolaches, pupusas, a sandwich and a donut.

Everything is excellent and perfectly spiced. I previous reviewer said there wasn't enought salt and I can't understand what they are talking about. I haven't tried everything on the menu but enough to know that it is perfect to my taste buds.

I am speaking nearby and I will be eating here for lunch again today. The only problem I will have is deciding what to try next.

Food tastes like there's no salt

Okay, first off I've been eating at Miss Chickpea's since they were just a bakery with breakfast type desserts like their poptarts and they were in their old, smaller location. I absolutely love their desserts! The cupcakes, the poptarts, the cheesecakes! Delicious! My updated review is based on their lunch and regular foods, not the baked goods.

I've given their lunch entrees a try a couple times now. I've had their pupusas and different kolaches and their soup. It seems to me that these items are salt free, oil free or just free of seasonings in general. I don't know how to describe it other than they taste very plain, very healthy and "light". Some people may like that sort of thing. I personally enjoy a lot of flavor, fat, salt, etc. I like foods that taste good. Unfortunately it seems their regular entrees are for more health conscious people and that's alright! Just not my cup of tea personally. I like comfort food/junk food.

Pros: Space is big, good for large parties to sit inside, Their desserts are bomb

Cons: Food tastes like there is no seasoning , Very expensive , Wait time is rather long

Their food is self-proclaimed to be whole foods plant based so the sweets feel less heavy. I think it’s a nice contrast! Papusas could desperately use some salt though

All vegan bakery and Salvadoran food

Miss Chickpeas has recently upgraded to a new spot with a rotating bakery case and a permanent Salvadoran food menu. All of her food is organic, almost all handmade from scratch and she uses no artificial flavoring. She also doesn’t use any bad oils like canola or vegetable.
All of her baked goods are delicious- but her conchas are specifically what I will sometimes drive 30 minutes for. I live in San Antonio and have had many, many conchas in my life. Hers blow all of those out of the water.
Her lunch menu has sandwiches, soups and pupusas. Again, never had anything I didn’t like. The salsa that comes with the papusas is scary good as well as the cabbage slaw to put on top.
My dad is not vegan and said the jamon sandwich from here is the best sandwich he’s every had in his entire life.
My husband is Salvadoran and approves of everything on the menu.
This place is adorable on the inside and the staff is always so nice. The owner is one of the most nicest, hard-working people I’ve ever met and her husband is right there with her.

Pros: Amazing conchas , Only vegan Salvadoran food in San Antonio , Right next to sprouts!

Amazing vibrant food made for the soul

From the moment I walked in I was greeted with open arms, the face of the restaurant, the owner Tatiana was so kind and recommended her favorite dishes. I had the Pastelitos/empanadas and the bean and “cheese” pupusa. The vegan mozzarella is made in house using a cashew base. When I received the food the colors on the plate were so vivid. The flavors of both the empanada and pupusa were both distinct and perfectly seasoned. If you’re ever in San Antonio this is a must stop for delicious all vegan fare. For dessert, I had the cake tart and the monster cookie and they were definitely next level desserts. The horchata is amazing too. My stomach iand soul are perfectly satisfied without the guilt and bloat. The freshness of the food and the amazing ingredients Tatiana uses are of the highest quality.

Pros: All vegan from the amazing entrees, All vegan desserts

Cons: Food is soooo good you want more lol
