This restaurant is incredible! The atmosphere is amazing and the venue is stunning. The people are so kind - even got a chance to talk to the head chef - Angela. Such a kind person. This restaurant deserves a Michelin Star!! I took pastries for the road because I couldn't eat any more - but couldn't stop enjoying! The blueberry coffee cake was like a moist blueberry muffin (a gluten free rarity!) with a decadent coffee cake topping, and just a hint of lemon. I had to get a second piece to go! Can not wait to come back - well worth the drive �

I had a banker call my office. He wanted a get to know you meeting. I wasn't expecting the call so I knew I'd be giving an eye to unfinished work on my desk and so not give him my full attention if we met in my office. Because of that, I suggested we meet for lunch. He agreed and we decided on 5 points.
I'd bicycled past this building many times over the last ten years but I'd never been inside until this week. Try to imagine stepping into a place which makes you feel like you're in some cosmopolitan coffee shop/nosh place. The atmosphere creates such an inviting feeling for you and stimulates the senses. It doesn't have a large menu but you can find something which will suite you whether carnivore or vegetarian. I'm an omnivore but I wanted meat so I opted for the $14 WARRIOR BOWL consisting of grilled marinated flank steak, roasted beet & potato salad, avocado, fresh free-range poached egg, over fresh organic mixed greens tossed with a house made vinaigrette. Normally I season my food before tasting it. The banker had been here before and mentioned how the food here needs no additional seasoning. He was right. It was perfectly balanced.
Man, I feasted. Not only on the food but the atmosphere. It energized me.
Who comes here? Couples having a bite, the locals and a few business people including me who were looking to create symbiotic business relationships.
Support small business as often as you can.
As an out of towner, this restaurant is refreshing for a health conscious celiac! The food is delicious, the staff is super friendly! Awesome baked goods, great coffee! Highly recommend to locals and visitors alike! Enjoy!
Phenomenal food & great atmosphere! Some gluten free food has a chalky texture but this food tasted like the real deal. Food came out quickly and the staff were very nice.Highly recommend! San Antonio needs more places like this.
Awesome place! The staff were very helpful and the food was great! Will definitely be going back when in San Antonio again. Well worth the time to go and find this little gem of a local restaurant.
My love & I went for our first time today & everything from the staff, atmosphere, music & especially the food were amazing! Everything we ordered was delicious & made with love which is rare to come by these days. The pancakes were to die for! Definitely going back to this lovely place.
Loved it! Can't wait to go back! Would honestly like to try at least 60% of the menu if not more. My one criticism is that the poached eggs need to be cooked at least enough that the whites are not raw and runny, I got one that was so undercooked everybody at the table got squeamish. And we all eat poached eggs. But seriously though, other than that, I'm quite pleased and I am looking forward to it again. I ordered the warrior bowl and the flank steak was cooked perfectly and the greens were fresh and lively, the beet salad was so delicious and the guacamole was spot on. I even liked the sauce and normally I'm not a fan of sauces because they are seldom made very well... If the poached egg haden't been so under cooked it would've been an absolutely perfect score in my eyes. And thank you for the hospitality! Usually when places are that packed it doesn't go well but it certainly did.
Loved this place so much. We got the vegan tacos, banana pecan S.A. stack, green juice, and Cubano coffee. So much yum!
My new favorite place. Somewhere where I know I will be gluten safe and the food is fabulous. Really can't discern the difference, in fact better than gluten. The carrot cake is wonderful as are the empanadas. Yum
This place has a unique, comfortable, vibe. The food is decently priced and high quality. Bring your gluten free hating relatives here to show them that gluten free, when done right, can be even better than gluten filled food. Amazing pancakes, fluffy with great flavor, quiche crust tasted buttery with a beautiful, flaky texture, and the clean breakfast tacos flavorful and great for hangovers. The orange juice is fresh squeezed but not sour. Outdoor and indoor seating, room for large groups. Large portions. Open early. Family and kid-friendly. We will definitely be back!
This was our first time here and we loved it, it’s a super cute place and they had some great vegan options, I had the vegan tacos and the honey lavender iced latte with almond milk. The staff was really friendly and we didn’t wait too long for our food. Social distancing was practiced also which we appreciated. Overall a really great experience. We will definitely be returning.
Updated 1-24-2020 I stopped by today with my parents to have a late lunch. It was so good! I had the BLT and my mom had the lamb melt and my dad had the warrior Bowl. We loved everything. I love 5 Points Local. I highly recommend!
I have celiac disease and this place is 100% gluten free! Everything on the menu is gluten-free all the pastries everything! Pancakes, chicken absolutely everything. Absolutely recommend!

I wish there were a 5 Points in Austin! We were visiting friends in San Antonio for the Spurs game and they took us to 5 Points for Sunday brunch. This place already looked cool with a long line and yogis entering and exiting. I went inside to purchase coffees for our party while we waited, a nice gentleman let us cut him saying “you also have to get their baked goods, you won’t believe they are gluten-free!” He was right!! We got lemon poppy and pecan pound cake slices and four “Kali” coffees. Oh my gosh!!!! If I never even ordered brunch I would have left happy after just the cakes and coffee! But eventually we did make it to the front of the line, my boyfriend and I shared the fluffy pancakes and vegan tacos. We sat at a beautiful wooden table and enjoyed the professional hustle of the food runners and personal attention we received. The tacos were so thoughtful crafted— just because something is “vegan” doesn’t always mean that establishment has any idea how to make tasty vegan food that rivals meat. 5 Points blew that skepticism out of the water with their spicy, brightly tasting tacos! Their fluffy pancakes turned me into a human guard that was swatting everyone else away from my precious pancakes! I know I said we were sharing but I lied!!! Best pancakes I ever had, and true to the nice gentleman who let us cut in line before, I couldn’t believe they were gluten-free. 5 Points is one of the best brunches I’ve had in my life! ❤️
Love this place! Everything tastes so fresh and breakfast is all day on weekends. I was surprised to find out they are 100% gluten free with some of the best waffles, pancakes and toast I've ever had. They always have seasonal dishes which maintain the taste standards of their main-stays. Overall 10/10.
Ordering process can be a bit slow in the front entrance but, trust me, the wait is worth it.
My first ever gluten-free restaurant. I was surprised at how many choices they had to offer! We ordered cappuccino and although they didn't use whole milk, I tasted no difference which is great. The eggs and potato breakfast dish was really good, too. We lounged outside in their backyard and it was perfect. I'd definitely come back here again!
The gluten-free menu here is off the charts. The pancakes are possibly the best I’ve ever had. The unique atmosphere even includes a yoga studio upstairs.
Wow, this place is delicious for anyone that wants fresh, flavorful food. The service is casual and caring (they even try to know your name). The decor is earthy yet modern and rustic. Rich espresso drinks, excellent fresh squeezed juice, baked goods, and desserts are all as incredible as the food. I have food allergies (wheat, corn, walnuts, sesame, and peanuts) and my husband has various dietary needs (paleo, keto), and we can eat nearly everything here.
They typically have a daily special which is always outstanding. All meals are well balanced with salad and various protein options. I included some images of some of my favorite foods.
I drove half an hour to eat at this restaurant. I had to finally try their food! I’ve heard rave reviews from others.
I ordered their Rise & Shine bowl, baked bowl and I also tried out their vegan vanilla and chocolate cake (not pictured). I thought it was delicious and filling. The parking space is small, but that is to be expected in that area. The servers were friendly, especially the one with the curly hair (I didn’t catch her name).
The owner arrived while I was eating. She chatted with some of the regulars. She seems to be very friendly, and has a very sweet personality.

This place is all about locally sourced, sustainable food, with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options available.
I had the Veggie Chili from the daily special menu board. It included a decent sized piece of cornbread and a mixed green salad. The chili was topped with a vegan sour cream, huge slabs of avocado, and a few slices of pickled turnips or onions (not sure which, because when you pickle something for me, I can never figure out what it is - but it was good!). The chilli had good spices and flavor to it, but it was just a tad too much on the creamy side for me, with not a whole lot of texture.
They have a decent handful of canned beer options and a few wine choices available.
Order at the counter, and then they bring the food to your table on a cool slab of natural wood - it's really cool. Some of the longer tables inside are also slabs of natural wood - it looks like they were sliced right off of a giant tree trunk and then varnished. The staff are super cool and really seem like they want to be there.
Nice brick interior with really cool vibe if you want to dine inside, or you can choose to chillax outside on the patio.
They have a parking lot about half a block away, or you can try and find parking on the street.
I confirmed with one of the staff that they're owned by the same folks who own The Cove, so it's legit.
