The staff was friendly and spoke English very well. There is very sparse indoor seating (maybe like 9 seats by the bar and then 4 seats by the window). It is first come first serve. I ordered the salmon bagel and it tasted fresh but also nothing to write home about. Enjoyed the experience overall. Inside the establishment, you will also find a mini mart with several snacks and such for purchase!
This place was really good! Not your authentic Puerto Rican food if that's what you're looking for. Service was great. There was some seating but not a lot. It's a small market/ deli, so you can buy snacks and what not while you explore the island. I had breakfast here. They were open really early. I got fresh squeezed orange juice and a bagel platter that came with smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, cucumbers, onions and a bagel. I also had a cold brew coffee. It's not quite like the bagels in NYC, but it really hit the spot. I would go back if I ever find myself back in Vieques.
The food was good. The Bloody Mary was spicy and delish. The young man that set us at a table told us he would put us in the perfect shady spot. As you can see, we had to move it was so sunny. The waitress was really sweet. Probably the best cappuccino I had in a long time. Prices are super high! $65 for two for breakfast! If money is not a thing, this is a good place.
This is a "one experience review", and it contrasts dramatically with the majority of other reviewers. But since my motto is to "be direct", here goes: Based on the look of the place online and the reviews, I expected it to be a 5 star review. My experience reduced it to 2 stars. We stopped by for espresso, everyone raved about their coffee and espresso. Sitting at the bar where all the drinks are made, I figured the espresso would be great, as they used illy coffee pods, so how could it be bad? Ordered a double, watched it being made. I think Kelley, our energetic barista, doubled the water and used a single pod. It was weak. And luke warm. Lost 1 star. Watched Kelley make iced coffees, spilling coffee on the area where she worked, wiping it up with the same dripping wet rag she used to wipe down the side of the glasses in which she over-poured the coffee. Sorry, that's gross and another star lost. Figured we would try a breakfast burrito as someone else was having it and looked great. It was, at best, mediocre. The "salsa" served on the side was only finely chopped tomatoes which lacked flavor and any zest. The burrito was stuffed with tasteless black beans. Sorry, this is Vieques. Puerto Rico. Where's the flavor, folks? Lost another star. While we were there, 3 different (apparently local North American seasonal residents) placed orders for a bagel lox and cream cheese. It seems to be popular with the non Vieques crowd who frequent Buen Provecho, and others have written about it in their reviews. I don't know if it's great, let's assume it is, but frankly, I don't come to Vieques to eat a bagel lox and cream cheese. To each their own. I got the impression this was a place for the tourists who feel more comfortable with the specialty foods they sell at exceedingly high prices, and the North American residents of Vieques who like to sit around the bar/counter and talk with others like themselves and chisme about whatever is going on. It had a certain clique feel about it. It serves a purpose, I'm sure of that, but if you're a tourist, I'd recommend you go elsewhere (eg, local color, folks), and strongly recommend they figure out how to make a double espresso in an Illy machine using a Illy pod the right way. And get rid of that filthy dripping rag used to wipe up everything. It's disgusting.

My husband and I had a great breakfast here! It's a small shop/restaurant. There's seating at a bar and then at a window counter. We ordered: -avocado toast -egg white omelette w/veggies -breakfast potato's -side of jamón - fruit smoothie -iced chai with almond milk Everything was made fresh to order. You could see the chef prep each dish. Every single thing we ate and drank was delicious!!! I wish we could have gone back here but we left the next morning. read more

Such a delightful breakfast today at Buen Provencho. So good. We have been traveling through Puerto Rico and have not found many restaurants to write home about, but we're very satisfied and so happy to discover Buen Provencho on Vieques. I had the breakfast burrito and my friends had Basic breakfast with eggs and bacon and the Eggs Benedict. read more

Was looking for a nice breakfast place with my sisters as it was our first day on the island. We walked in and the place looked nice. We waited about 2 minutes before someone came to help us. She took our order and afterwards told us that there was an Art Museum directly next door we could visit while our food was prepared which seemed fine. We came back maybe 8 minutes later and our food was done. We sat down and ordered some Chai Lattes. Food came out to be almost $40 which seems pricy for just three people getting two items each for breakfast. One of the Chai Lattes were made without milk so we asked for some milk with a different waitress which she seemed annoyed and would begin walking away while I was talking. Maybe she was having a bad day but at the same time, you want to make the customers feel like they are able to ask for anything and not feel like an inconvenience. Overall, I like the food, seemed fresh and tasted good but costumer service could be a little better. read more

Decent sized location, about a good 6 min walk from the ferry terminal, and just down the block from the local supermarket. Variety of organic, natural and delicious items. Tried the espresso fresh squeezed OJ, egg sandwich with sausage and pepper jack cheese, with a side of avocado. Also, the bloody Mary. The sausage is made by who I presume are the owners, soo good had a good kick to it! The bloody Mary was a little on the too spicy side. Bit pricey but if you want healthy light breakfast options, it is well worth it. Will def come back, and recommend to anyone visiting vieques. read more
Stopped by here before we left on the ferry and loved it! The lox and bagel plate was amazing. Very fresh ingredients and it kept me full for hours. The daily special- avocado toast with crab- was very filling and high quality. Their iced Vietnamese coffee was really refreshing! Good shop here to pick up snacks and fresh fruit as well. read more

This is a super cute restaurant/deli/market We dined around 2:30pm, their lunch special for the day was the veggie pizza and we were able to customize our pizza for our liking. We ordered one with mushrooms and red pepper and one with tomatos and pesto sauce! The pizza was delicious! Everything was fresh and made in house. The drink we ordered was called a Cucumber Collins and it was amazingly refreshing! The women that waited on us owned the place with her husband and she was extremely friendly with great conversation! Loved this place! read more

We were staying at the W and didn't like or want to eat at the hotel. Overpriced and not so good. We found this place on our 2nd day on the island and came back the very next day. Eat breakfast here for sure. They are super nice, great atmosphere (small groups only can be seated but order and take it with you). Trust me this place is amazing! read more

A five stars for freshness and flavours. Much better than others on the island (next to the ferry or on the south side ("Esperanza")). Delicious sandwiches (roasted pork or mozzarella and pesto), flat pizza and mango smoothie. Everything looks fresh. Great job. read more
