The food was great and the outdoor seating is very nice in the main square. Nice to be outside enjoying the center square surroundings. The coffee was not great and my americano was served in a plastic cup. Not sure if the taste was the coffee or the plastic. read more

We happened to arrive while they were empty and probably five parties arrived within minutes of us. I personally felt that the service was quite good though I know a few tables after us were a little upset by the timing of their drink orders. Our coffee also took a bit longer to come out than expected (for example our breakfast sandwiches came out first) but everything was prepared well and hit the spot. The latte and cortadito were excellent as was the açaí bowl. My husband went back for a second cortadito and spoke to who he thought was the owner for a few minutes. He said she was very lovely and clearly was motivated to make sure tourists enjoy/ come back to Ponce-- I appreciated she cares about her city and wants to bring back money to the Ponce economy. It's a lovely city! We sat outside with views of the plaza las delicias fountain and had a very pleasant brekky. We would certainly come back here again! Tl;dr: probably would go elsewhere if you need coffee fast and they aren't empty but if you have time to sit and enjoy the vista it is definitely worth a stop! read more

servicio muy bueno. si eres vegetariano o vegano no creo que haya mucha variedad pero siempre pueden hacer un ajuste! personalmente el pan y los huevos me sabían a demasiado mantequilla (pero ya sé pedirlos diferentes para la próxima). las baristas muy amables y siempre asegurándose que estes satisfech@ con tu bebida. puedes sentarte en el counter o en una mesa aparte. No está muy grande el espacio pero el ambiente muy bueno. Buen lugar para ir si buscas almuerzo. read more

The burrito was pretty good - the portion sizes are VERY generous . And my lavender latte was one of the best I've had. BUT the wait was very long. There is a nice view of the square tho read more

Finally! A place in Puerto Rico that serves an American sized coffee! lol The latte was amazing (and huge). The omelette was huge and well priced. The view was second to none (overlooking the famous fountains). We parked up the street for $2 at a little parking lot. This was an amazing time and I'm glad we stopped! read more

There's island time and then there's just super slow! They were terribly slow at making our sandwiches and we came at a pretty slow time - only a few people were in the restaurant. Took almost an hour to get 2 wraps after the server said it would be around 20 minutes. After all that the chips were stale... I will not be coming back here. read more

The place is really nice it's next to the town right next to the city location good music outside coffee is really good this is just a couple of unfortunate things that you got to look to when you're ordering here you have to have time some orders could take up to an hour to do and that is a little bit unexpected for a place that doesn't have that many people in it they could really use some more help to get things done and moving along because if you're pressed for time this is not the place that you want to be at but if you want to waste time and don't care how long your food comes out feel free to come into this place I haven't tasted the food yet because as of this writing my food still hasn't come to the table I'm a little tipsy I had one red's Apple from the taco place next door which actually looks pretty good and I'm going to probably go get a burrito before I get my food here hopefully things turn around. read more

Gallo Espresso Cafe Bar - This photo just shows that I just had coffee and one reds and my friend had a mimosa - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ponce, Puerto Rico

Coffee was delicious here! I got a hazelnut shaken espresso, but the pistachio blended coffee was amazing as well. The baristas also gave us each a free cookie and it was delicious! Coffee took a while, but they were busy and it was worth the wait. Beautiful views of the town square. read more

I am surprised by the one star review here. They were very speedy with my service, having three people making drinks and a waiter at the service counter. I got the Gingerbread Cookie Butter espresso and it was delicious! Everyone was super friendly to me despite not speaking Spanish. I would come here again, no doubt! read more

Everything here was great and it was a great location. We got an iced coffee and a pastry.

The coffee was amazing, the local was beautiful, and the staff was very friendly. I got an ice cream from across the street.

HORRIBLE SERVICE..... Went in for a quick pick me up. I ordered a Waffle Sandwich with a latte and Acai bowl with orange juice. First, for the acai bowl, they didn't have strawberries which I found with. After we ordered and paid, we sat down and waited. 30 mins into the wait, I had to ask someone for our drink. That's when they finally told us that they missed up order number, and we went from bringing #1 to order to #6!!!! Did you think they went out of their way to get us our food as soon as possible? Not!! They thought I would sit there and watch everyone who orders after I receive their food while I'm sitting here waiting for an ACAI BOWL that indeed involves no cooking. It's funny because then one of the workers came to me to tell me that they didn't have but a little banana left. Let me just clarify that were 2 meals I saw leave the kitchen and walked in front of me with fruits bowls, but yet they didn't have enough bananas for an acai bowl. They were not apologetic at all, and I got my refund. The guy making coffee doesn't seem like he knows what he's doing. You can see the confusion in his face trying to figure out what's what. He would consistently ask the cashier. They only have two cooks who Don't communicate. Overall it ruined my morning entirely. read more

5 stars for coffee. Less than one star for service. No opinion on ambiance. Place is infested with flies but makes delicious coffee.

Service was awful....ignored us for 20mins and served others. Then was very rude when we asked why. Save yourself a bad experience and go somewhere else read more
