I ordered an iced latte and the "eggs any style". The meal came with 2 eggs, a pile of bacon, home fries, toast and french toast which were all cooked perfectly. My only regret is that we didn't find this cafe before the last day of our trip.

The 12 spice chicken was some of the best I've ever had, loved the flavors. The waffle breakfast was also a great combo of sweet and savory, although I would have preferred just savory. Highly recommend and would definitely come back! The staff was friendly and the interior is also super cute.

Found this place on Yelp today looking for a cafe and it's a true gem! The service was exceptional…read morewith very nice people providing excellent service. The latte was so smooth, good, and strong. The food is also amazing and they load the omelette with toppings, the pancakes were very good too. It's a small cafe that's a wine bar by night with a peaceful atmosphere during the day. I will return when I'm back in PR.

First off, Yelp and the Gustos' website say that it is closed on Saturdays, but Google Maps said it…read morewas open. We called and thankfully it was open. Not sure if this was because they were closed yesterday for Good Friday, but consider calling if going on a Saturday! The place was busy, but they were fully staffed and service was fast and our drinks/food came out quickly. A live band played outside, but it was acoustic and the volume was very reasonable. I wanted to buy locally roasted coffee beans for home and this turned out to be the best place to buy them. I bought two 8oz bags, $14 and $15 respectively. Compare that to 787 Coffee that wanted $30 for a similar sized bag (even more for their alcohol infused beans!). Gustos also sold 2lb bags of beans if you really need to make a lot of coffee. Sadly, the roasting date was not stamped on any of the bags. The cold brew coffee was good. The French toast was mediocre -- the bread was sliced too thin, with very little batter on the exterior, and zero saturation inside the bread. The fresh blueberries and grated coconut were nice, but the syrup tasted cheap. My wife had the Gustos and it was delicious. We saw others with avocado toast and it looked tasty too. We bought little bags of dried plantains on a whim at the counter -- turns out they were $3 each. Otherwise, prices were very reasonable.

The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful: Three Breakfast Spots, Three Very Different Stories…read more There's something special about discovering local cafés -- each one tells its own story through aroma, service, and the way it makes you feel. During a recent weekend, I had the chance to visit three well-known breakfast spots: Latte Factory (San Juan), Sobao (Isla Verde), and Buen Vecino Café(San Juan). All three promised great coffee and memorable meals, but only one truly delivered the whole experience. Latte Factory -- The Disappointment Behind the Charm I wanted Latte Factory to be amazing. The ambience was inviting, with modern decor and comfortable seating. Parking was easy, and the coffee -- to give credit where it's due -- was excellent. Unfortunately, that's where the magic stopped. Service was slow, though the waitress was kind and clearly doing her best. The food arrived cold, and the quality didn't live up to the upscale pricing. It's hard to enjoy a "premium" breakfast when what's on your plate feels average. The overall experience left me disappointed, not angry -- just wishing they could match their potential with consistent execution. Sobao -- Quick, Tasty, and Fair The next morning, we went to Sobao, and it was like day and night. They are a chain but it doesn't feel like that. Service was quick, the food came out hot, and the quality was solid for the most part. It's the kind of place where you know exactly what you're getting: reliable, satisfying, and priced reasonably. We ordered roughly the same items as the day before (plus a little more) and still paid about $20 less. Sobao doesn't pretend to be fancy, but it is modern, clean, and efficient, and maybe that's what makes it so enjoyable. If you want a good breakfast without the drama, Sobao is the smart choice. Buen Vecino Cafe -- Where Brunch Feels Like Home Then came El Buen Vecino, and everything changed. From the moment you walk in, the place feels like visiting your grandparents' house, cozy, welcoming, and full of character. The décor is delightfully eclectic, with each room carrying its own personality. The service was outstanding, fast, attentive, and genuinely warm. The food was the best of the three: fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Prices are slightly higher than Sobao's, but not by much, and the quality and atmosphere more than justify it. It's a proper brunch restaurant, one where you sit back, relax, and enjoy the moment. The only drawback? Parking. It's limited, though we were lucky to find a spot on the two occasions that we have visited. Final Thoughts If you're in a hurry and want something quick, Sobao is your go-to. For a leisurely brunch that feels like home, Buen Vecino Cafe is the clear winner -- great food, excellent service, and a touch of nostalgia. Sadly, Latte Factory doesn't make the cut. With high prices and cold plates, it's hard to recommend, even if the coffee and ambience are nice. In the end, breakfast isn't just about food, it is how you start your day, it's about how a place makes you feel. Sobao satisfies, El Buen Vecino delights, and Latte Factory reminds us that looks alone aren't enough.

We were visiting San Juan and looking for a comfortable place to sit and eat breakfast. Buen…read moreVecino Cafe fit the bill! Here is what we noticed: - There are multiple rooms for sitting to eat, and also a counter when you enter for take out. - We started right away with an Americano coffee, which was good. - The breakfast menu had a lot of different options, but only a few that seemed to be more "Puerto Rican" in flavor/food, which is what we were looking for. - My wife and settled on splitting both the Lorenzo Y Pepita breakfast sandwich and the Jibarita Omellete. Both dishes were really good, and we also got to have an extra grilled cheese sandwich, which was brought to our table in error. The bread on both of the sandwiches, and the one toasted with the omelet, was especially excellent! - Service was good. Bottom line: We're glad that we decided on Buen Vecino Cafe.

When you leave, there is a swimsuit shop next door if you need. The beach is within walking distance. I recommend finding parking , stopping at the corner market for Gasolina or Palo and taking a walk to the beach!!
