Travelers hustling through Terminal B at San Antonio International Airport will get a serious upgrade on Monday, July 20, 2026, when Southerleigh Fine Food & Brewery and Bakery Lorraine officially open behind security. The two hometown heavyweights are moving in with scaled-down versions of their popular concepts, giving flyers a shot at real San Antonio flavor instead of another generic chain meal.
The Bakery Lorraine location will be a trimmed-down spin on its Pearl shop, serving flaky French pastries, boxes of rainbow macarons, and a grab-and-go case filled with salads and sandwiches alongside a full coffee bar. Southerleigh’s Terminal B outpost is set up as more of a sit-down option, with appetizers, entrees, and a full bar pouring the restaurant’s own beers and cocktails. These details were reported by CultureMap San Antonio.
Local-first concessions replace national chains
San Antonio International Airport has been steadily swapping out national chains for homegrown operators as it overhauls its dining mix. The airport is in the middle of adding more than 20 restaurants and retailers curated to reflect the city’s culinary scene, according to the San Antonio Express-News. Earlier phases of the rollout brought in local names like Tre Trattoria, Pharm Table, and 2M Smokehouse.
Part of a $2.5 billion terminal overhaul
The food and retail refresh ties into a $2.5 billion Terminal Development Program focused on designing and building a third terminal and modernizing airport facilities, as outlined by the City of San Antonio. According to reporting by KSAT, construction on associated projects began in late 2024, and the new third terminal is expected to debut in 2028. Airport officials say the updated concessions are meant to give visitors a clearer taste of San Antonio from the moment they step into the concourse.
What travelers can expect on July 20
Come July 20, Terminal B passengers should find Bakery Lorraine’s grab-and-go pastries and coffee sharing the concourse with Southerleigh’s travel-friendly menu. Expect options like pimento queso, soft pretzels with beer cheese, a Southern-fried chicken sandwich, and a crispy redfish filet, according to CultureMap San Antonio. The rollout is still in motion, and local coverage notes more is on the way: Popeyes is slated to join Terminal B in the coming months.
For the latest hours and menus, check Bakery Lorraine, Southerleigh, and the San Antonio International Airport site for terminal maps and travel updates. As the Terminal Development Program moves ahead, travelers can expect more local names to pop up across both existing terminals and the future third terminal.
