    Looked into the top coffee spots of Puerto Rico, this stood out. It doesn't get better than…read morefarm-to-cup type of coffee. AMBIANCE Parking: Old San Juan rules--come early or be ready to walk. Seating: Multiple seating areas for individuals and small groups but it's also a cafe too so there is seating in the back too. Vibes: Clean, modern café with a mix of locals and tourists. You can tell people come here for the coffee, not just to pass through. It leans more intentional and coffee-focused rather than just aesthetic--which I appreciated. FOOD / DRINKS Coquito Frap (Recommend) When in Puerto Rico, Coquito. Creamy, coconut-forward, and lightly spiced--like a frozen coquito with a coffee twist. Sweet, smooth, and definitely more of a dessert drink than a regular latte. CUSTOMER SERVICE Friendly and efficient. Even with a crowd, things moved quickly. TL;DR OVERALL 4.5 Stars. Solid spot. Great drink options at a reasonable price. They know what they're doing. Whether you're a coffee person or just need a reset, this place delivers. Salute to the Munoz family for sharing their coffee to the world! TIPS * Try their house coffee if you want the full experience--that's what they're known for.

We loved it so much we actually went twice during our trip - and even made a final stop before heading to the airport to go home. On our first visit, Hector (the roaster) happened to be there, which made the experience feel even more special. The staff overall were all so kind and attentive. The coffee is absolutely excellent - velvety smooth, rich, and delicious. I could easily drink more than one cup. I had a latte, and my husband had a macchiato, and both were great. They have a cute little outdoor atrium seating area, but we preferred indoors where all the comfy pillow seating was. Just a note - they don't offer decaf - but for regular coffee drinkers, it's a must-visit. Such a gem in Old San Juan!

    Review #1,046 Posted on 4.26.26…read more We came here on Thursday the 23rd while in San Juan area for my buddies 50th birthday. This spot we had seen on social media a ton for being famous for their Mallorca sandwich, a special type bread, we got the one with bacon & American cheese. Man, I made the mistake of doing the bacon instead of ham, overthought that deal. I tried my buddies with ham n cheese and I think that was way to go. I loved how this spot had that super old school feel of like a diner. You can sit at one of the table tops, or you can do the countertop too, which has tons of seats, we all were able to sit there. I'd 100% recommend this spot, but get the ham n cheese mallorca sandwich, don't overthink it.

    Walked in here at ~8:15am for breakfast. There was not a lot of people yet; we were seated at the…read morebar. After a few minutes, people started trickling down and soon the place was close to being full. I liked the mallorca with ham, bacon, cheese! It was delicious. They looked small but they were filling. The pastries displayed at the window were inviting. If you're dining in, you have to tell your server that you're getting some pastries that are on display then you ask the person at the counter who also serves as the cashier to get them for you. The guava pastry was good. The vanilla bread with strawberry and pineapple/lemon was okay. They looked better than they tasted in my opinion. Payment for everything would be at the cashier after dining. If you're in San Juan, this is a place to try!

    I was real excited because WHO doesn't love nutella. My friend and I came in to pass some time…read morebefore going to the airport and there was a comfy sitting area both inside and outside. I ended up getting a matcha latte (which they added pumpkin spice to) and a hazelnut tres leches cake. Both were alright and the cake definitely scratched the hazelnut chocolate itch, but they were way too sweet. The pumpkin spice they added to the matcha was nice, but it added sugar to a drink that was already much too sugary for its own good. I'm not sure what kind of matcha they added to it, but it also tasted oddly artificial. Kinda like the Trader Joe's Green Tea Latte mix, which I know is very specific, but it's TRUE. Drinking it all gave me a raging headache from the sugar rush. The tres leches, again, was yummy, but much too sweet. I wish they let the nutella do it's magic rather than adding even more sugar to supplement the sugar already in the nutella.

They have a ton of customizable sandwich options where you can customize the bread (bread and waffle options). We got a turkey pesto sandwich with the waffle as our bread. It was amazing. I left the perfect amount satiated for a quick early breakfast. Their iced coffee was also amazing and came out quick. They have a glass case filled with pastries that you can order as well. We got the guava and cheese monkey bread. It had some of the best guava and cheese flavors we had while on the island. Definitely recommend!
