I had this spot on my list thanks to instagram and it did not disappoint. Everything is freshly baked (I believe on location) and you can definitely taste it in every bite. We got guava, quesito, be&c on a fresh croissant, the croissant pudding and some other delicious muffin that the guy said they were know for. It was so good we are going to stop by there again later this week. The location is tucked away in a random strip mall. Parking is a little chaotic. The interior gives old school New York bakery vibes. The smell - is divine. We were greeted promptly and the server answered all of our questions (& even helped us pick some items). Everyone was very nice. Can't wait to go back & eat even more.

Delicious, a little pricy compared to other local spots but the quality is worth it!! Everything I purchased was excellent : Ham & Brie sandwich on a thick but fluffy sandwich bread was soooo good! It was a guava sauce in it and was topped with powdered sugar The avena (oatmeal) was delicious and topped with berries My husband got the reuben and he said it was great We both had a cafe con leche with two shots of espresso and that was great too All the pastries looked amazing so we got one to-go, the pistachio croissant! It had a nice filling Lastly my daughter had the scrambled eggs and they came with toast, also good! Service was friendly and welcoming. We went on a sat morning and it was super packed, difficult to find seating in such a small space and we were a big group, but again- worth it!

¡CAMPEÓN! ¡¡¡Tenemos…read moreGANADOR: MEJOR PAN DE AGUA y PAN SOBAO EN LA ISLA!!! También gana: "La Panadería más MACHO en Metro San Juan", ¡¡¡sus ofertas son #1!!! ¡¡¡ESTOY ENAMORADA DE ESTE LUGAR!!! Bien, permítanme comenzar diciendo que he estado en casi todos los Paneradia en el área metropolitana de San Juan. Soy ex redactor de la organización culinaria más prestigiosa de los Estados Unidos y NADA supera a MONCHO PAN en la categoría de panadería (un lugar pequeño en Ave Winston Churchill en Cupey) pero honestamente debería cambiarle el nombre: MACHO PAN porque la mayoría ¡¡¡De los asistentes al desayuno son hombres!!! Ahora te cuento por qué... ¡este establecimiento está regentado por gente súper trabajadora, sin duda! De hecho, abren a las 5 de la mañana. Según una reseña que leí aquí en Yelp, decidí probar este lugar. No tengo automóvil, así que tomé un Uber temprano por la mañana aquí (no es mala idea, no tienen muchos lugares para estacionar, ¡pero la rotación es rápida!) Volviendo a la historia que nos ocupa... cuando entré a este lugar como a las 5:30 AM, era básicamente como una escena sacada de una película con un "mar de hombres (machos)", muy machistas, estos son trabajadores de Puerto Rico, ¡Vienen por una taza FUERTE de café fenomenal y suficiente para llenar sus barrigas durante horas! Además, trabajé en NYC Construction y estoy acostumbrado a esto. Bueno, entrar en esta escena me hizo reír porque nunca en mi vida había entrado a un restaurante donde soy la única mujer. Dije algo en ese sentido cuando entré y todos los chicos comenzaron a reírse. ¡¡¡Así es como supe que este lugar era súper sensato y genial!!! (¡No se habrían reído de un lugar como Kasalta! Sin faltarle el respeto a Kasalta). El personal de MONCHO PAN es fantástico, ¡especialmente las mujeres que tienen que lidiar con un mar de hombres hambrientos todo el tiempo! Estas jóvenes son muy sensatas y muy amigables, ¡una combinación perfecta! Uno de ellos ya se sabe mi pedido de memoria. Una cosa que noté es que ciertamente los tratan bien porque todos y cada uno parecen felices de estar aquí. Grandes puntos para la gerencia y el personal por ESO. ¡Pero por favor, prepara un BOTE DE PROPINAS para las MUJERES! Bien, volvamos a LA COMIDA!!! MUNCHO PAN está produciendo algunos de los sándwiches rellenos más escandalosos, estamos hablando de porciones ENORMES del más delicioso "Pan de Agua" que es crujiente y delicioso. ¡¡¡Te reto a encontrar un Pan de Agua más crujiente y delicioso en Puerto Rico!!! No como cerdo, así que el cubano no es para mí, ¡pero seguro que es popular! A la hora del desayuno están ocupados preparando deliciosas tortas (tortillas) con vegetales frescos para el desayuno. Los sándwiches son enormes. Creo que puedes conseguir medio sándwich o entero, son conocidos por sus sándwiches de PAVO BISTEC, FRESCOS HECHOS EN CASA (!!!), recién deshuesados, ¡¡¡buscan la excelencia en todo momento!!! También venden carnes y quesos por libra. Pude pedir un sándwich de queso MANchego abierto con dos huevos: ¡era el CIELO! ¡Todo derretido y un verdadero placer porque en un lugar como Kasalta, estaría pagando 3 veces el precio por EXACTAMENTE lo mismo! Pero aquí estoy rodeada de BUENA ENERGÍA - ¡ahhhh, qué placer! ¡Lo que es muy peculiar/interesante de este lugar es su decoración "macho"! Hay (en broma) los carteles más divertidos publicados por todas partes lamentando el matrimonio y cosas como mantener feliz a la mujer, pero todo es por diversión. Estoy seguro de esto por la forma respetuosa en que nos tratan a mí y a todas las mujeres que entran aquí, ¡¡estos tipos aman a las mujeres!! Casi todos los pasteles, como sus gigantescos pasteles rellenos de Mallorca, guayaba y queso dulce (y, por favor, perdónenme por esta vulgar afirmación poco femenina, pero...) ¡¡¡parece como si alguien les hubiera inyectado VIAGRA!!! ¿Este lugar está patrocinado por PFIZER? Son enormes estamos hablando de Mallorca que son GIGANTES, las Pastas de Guayaba son iguales!!! ¡¡¡Ninguna otra Panadería en el área metropolitana de SAN JUAN está haciendo cosas tan grandes y tan audaces!!! MONCHO PAN se llena bastante después de las 8 a. m., se calma a las 10 a. m. y se vuelve ruidoso a la hora del almuerzo, a menos que consigas una mesa en el área sombreada de enfrente. La espera por la comida no es tan larga (¡¡¡Salud a los parrilleros de MONCHO PAN!!!) y que las mujeres se apresuran a tomar tu pedido en el área de caja con una sonrisa y un "Buen Día/Buen Provecho". Antes de que te des cuenta, te encontrarás diciendo: "Kasalta, ¿QUIÉN??? Panadería España, ¡¿QUÉ??! Y te darás cuenta de que esta es en realidad tu "Panadería Soulmate" en La Isla. ---------------------------------- ¡CAMPEÓN! We Have A WINNER: BEST PAN DE AGUA y PAN SOBAO EN LA ISLA!!! It also wins: "Most MACHO Panadería in Metro San Juan" , their offerings are #1!!! I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS PLACE!!! GO!!!

So happy we came across this delicious hole in the wall style bakery in Vega Baja. It was so good…read morewe came two days in a row :) When you walk in, you immediately see the bakery counter filled with donuts, muffins and other traditional Puerto Rican pastries. To the right a hot-food bar section easy for food on the go and an espresso machine. They offered traditional breakfast items such as eggs, bacon, ham, toasted bread with a butter spread and an array of sandwiches. The first day, we came around lunch and wanted something filling prior to heading into San Juan. I also wanted a cafecito so my mom suggested this gem. We walked in and the place was completely empty, the lady greeted us and quickly took our orders. I ordered a ham, egg and cheese sandwich and asked for the yolk to be slightly runny with a café con leche. My mom a medianoche (Cuban on sweet bread made in house) / My aunt ordered a pastrami. Each came to the table a few minutes later, pipping hot even though a line had formed immediately after sitting down. I knew that was a good sign. All three were each so flavorful, hot, fresh and filling. My sandwich was so satisfying with it's cheesy-egg goodness that the girls wanted to come back the following day! Fast forward to the next day, we all ordered the same ham, egg and cheese sandwich but my aunt wanted it on pan sobao (sweet bread) and both versions were delicious! I also ordered a cappuccino this time and it did not disappoint. Going to miss this cheap, satisfying bakery, will definitely go back next time I'm in PR.
