Definitely stop by and enjoy one of their creamy coffee while in San Juan.

Grabbed an iced latte and an iced tea to go: the latte was smooth and well-balanced, not over-roasted like a lot of tourist-zone coffee shops nearby, and the iced tea was refreshing after walking the cobblestone streets. The menu keeps it simple -- espresso drinks, paninis (Cuatro Sombras, Yauco, Viejo San Juan), open toast with avocado & egg or salmon, and a solid breakfast lineup with guava butter toast and dulce de papaya oatmeal that lean into the Puerto Rican flavor profile. Loved seeing local sodas and juices in the fridge case alongside the usual water and La Croix. Staff moved efficiently even with a small crowd at the counter. Good spot to duck into for a quality coffee break in Old San Juan -- feels like a real local roaster rather than a chain, and the space itself is worth a look even if you're just passing through.

The cafe itself is small but we were able to find seating anyways. Service was somewhat confusing... you have to order at the counter and then wait for them to call your name. They called our names a couple times but were not ready each time leading to our confusion. We ordered a latte and the croissant and both were delicious! Would definitely come back for this croissant!

Before my trip to Puerto Rico, I've looked up a few coffee shops and Filtrado's brick alley really…read morecaught my eye. Located in Old San Juan, it's quite easy to miss. If you're on Calle San Francisco and the Coach store is to your right, keep walking till you see a yellow chemex sign on your left - that is the entrance to the coffee shop. Once you enter, it's a very tight space at the register and the alley is in the back with a few tables. The only menu I was able to peruse was that on their iPad which was annoying because I felt like I was holding up the line. I ended up ordering a small iced latte. I initially ordered it to enjoy in their alley, so I was told I can pay when I leave. I was there mid September and as much as I wanted to enjoy sipping my latte in the alley, it was super hot and stuffy. They could use some fans. Plus, it was taking forever to have the latte brought to me. As such, I went to the front to let the staff know I'll take it to go only to find him giggling with some friends. I guess that's why it took forever for me to get my drink. The latte itself wasn't bad, but considering the cost and the useless wait time, I would've gladly passed on this coffee shop.

It was hot. We wanted coffee. My friend spotted this place on Google Maps, and the rest is history…read more I have to say, we were hesitant at first, approaching this seeming hole in the wall with no sign or anything, just a small icon that indicated it was Filtrado, but we forged onward. I'm not sure if they offered this option for all of their drinks, but at least for what we got (iced latte and matcha latte), they offer a sweetener that comes in the form of spice. Get the spiced option. I ordered the matcha latte, but the spice just brought that drink to an entirely different level. It was different but tasted very cozy. So refreshing, and exactly what I needed after a long day of walking in OSJ. The space itself is also so beautiful. At first glance it's just a hole in the wall with no seating, but when the barista leads you to the back, there's a small, extremely cute, outdoor garden where you can sit and enjoy your drinks in a cool environment. It also just feels so separate from the vibe of OSJ and was very welcome. The only disappointment was the oatmeal cookie I ordered which ended up being stale and crumbly. I was hoping it'd be more soft and memorable, especially since the barista recommended it to me. In conclusion, get the spiced matcha latte, and let yourself sit down and relax in their hidden oasis in OSJ.

They originally told us 45 minutes because they were at MAX capacity. We put our names down and walked around to see what else was nearby, and no more than 10 minutes TOPS later,we got the text that our table was ready! Our waiter Mark was amazing and gave us great recommendations, especially the croquetas. 100% get the house ones instead of the regular jamón y queso!For brunch, I had the avocado toast with turkey, my S/O had the chicken sandwich,and both were SUPER delicious. The star for me was the jalapeño salsa verde--honestly one of the best salsa verdes I've ever had!The passion fruit mimosa pitcher was also great. One thing to know: the front seating near the door can get warm, but they have fans. If you really need A/C, the back seating is air-conditioned,so just ask if they can seat you there.
