Our sweet adventure kicks off in the lobby of the historic Gunter Hotel at Paris Baguette, hand-picked for good reason. Dig into a delicious donut and pastry as your guide shares the first Texas tales.
Next we stroll Houston Street, past the Majestic Theatre, to La Panaderia. Their colorful conchas are a fantastic taste of San Antonio's baking traditions, and the jalapeño cheese croissant brings the heat.
Then we head a block east to Voodoo Doughnut, the quirky Portland original. Their wild, creative donuts are as fun to look at as they are to eat, and one bite shows why it made our hand-picked list.
We pass the legendary Alamo and Alamo Plaza, then head down to the River Walk to finish at Paciugo. Cool, creamy gelato is the perfect sweet ending, with the river right there to keep exploring.
