Comfort Cafe San Antonio, 2015 NE Interstate 410 Loop, TX

Important edit!: I totally forgot, this place doesn't take card, you have to use cash. There is an ATM just outside though. However I know some people don't usually carry cash, so make sure you have some bills.

Simply phenomenal, some of the best food I've had here in San Antonio. We ordered the coffee flight, Crabby Benny, the Veggie Omelette, and The Lone Star Breakfast with chocolate chip pancakes.

How this place works is they have very limited hours (only open 3 days a week with limited hours) and use a pay what you want system. They suggest $15 a plate, which might sound high but is reasonable considering how big the portions are.

The place is beautiful, it's a wonderful piece of property that has a nice charm to it. However the real star is the food.

This is The Lone Star Breakfast, it's 3 eggs your way, 2 meats, a potato side, and pancakes. I got the eggs over medium (they were over easy, but it's rare for a place to pull off over medium, I suggest getting them scrambled), bacon (very crispy, which is either going to be awesome or disappointing depending on what you are looking for) and sausage (phenomenal quality, probably the best breakfast sausage I've had in town. Next time I'm getting 2 of the sausage) as my meats, and the side in the cup is my potato side (it's a hashbrown and cheese casserole, it's like a potato Mac n cheese, it's wonderful). The plate doesn't seem like it's worth $15, but when I ordered the pancakes I thought they were going to be plain. Instead the waiter asked what toppings I wanted, and I thought I'd get a few chips. That's uh, not what I got, I got this:

All that for $15 is a steal, so I added some extra to the bill ($5). These pancakes are amazing, I've always believed Pancake Haus had great pancakes, but these are way better. They are extremely cake like, akin to a chiffon cake. They have a wonderful house made whipped cream, and a delicious chocolate sauce. These pancakes are so heavy I could only eat a quarter of them, easy 3-4 servings out of these.

My mom and dad split the Crabby Benny (the main photo on the post) and Veggie Omelette (see below), both also got the hashbrown casserole.

The Crabby Benny had a perfect hollandaise sauce, and the crab cake is fresh made daily. It's insane they are only charging 15 for this. These things can easily go for $18+ elsewhere.

The omelette was also amazing, cooked perfectly with great flavor.

We also shared a coffee flight, which we got for free because we are SA Restaurant Gold members (I mean it's a pay what you want place, so it's not like you can't just pay $1 for it. However I'd ask you don't do this, this place is awesome and worth paying extra for.)

The coffee was great, in order they were: cold brew with foam, Vietnamese iced with sweetened condensed milk, iced mocha with cream, and iced vanilla with cream. I loved the cold brew foam and Vietnamese iced, the other were good but not my thing. The flight changes every week, so if you visit they will have a different set of 4 coffees.

At the end of our meal we had plenty of leftovers, easily another meal. The portions are huge, making the $15 price more than fair. Another thing is the waiter offered many extra things, such as toast with the omelette, or toppings on the pancake. Normally this would bother me as I'd see it as upselling. However you aren't actually charged for any of this, so I was actually very pleased, you'd think they would want you to have less food, not more.

Overall I was extremely impressed, if you ever find yourself nearby, please give this place a try. You pay after the meal, so if you are on the fence, you can always pay under $15 if you aren't happy. However the food is so awesome I doubt you'd want to.
