Pancakes
Cole D.

The burrito is a four. The hot chocolate too. The pancakes are three. The pancakes were really dry. It looks really fun. But it was kind of tasting more like cake then a pancake. Needed something to drown out the dryness. The burrito was really tasty. Would totally have that again. I asked about their hot chocolate and they said it was good. But it was completely average and tasted like water.

A cute little coffee shop! Service was extremely quick, and the coffee was delicious mix we didn't eat but the pastie did look good.

Inside vibe

Feb 18, 2025 review: Another great cafe in Puerto Rico! There is a parking garage right in front of it. Again bunch of coffee options with 4oz, 8oz, 12oz. Pretty diverse sandwich options too- like veg panini, Panini toast, avocado toast, omelette and so on. Decent seating potions inside and outside. There is a room left with cute decor. Veg panini came with lot of avocado. Panini toast comes with 4 pieces, shareable among group. Service is fast and are able to take order in English.

Oatmeal- amazing!!

Service was great! Food was good. The oatmeal is AMAZING, some of the best I've ever had and my kids are still raving about it! Highly recommend.

Mini empanadas | 4/29/2023
Samantha C.

We needed coffee to start our last day in PR, so a quick Yelp search brought us here. I ordered "mini" empanadas for myself, and they were actually a decent size so I was able to share them with the rest of the table. Also ordered a turkey and egg spinach breakfast burritos. Food was good, but everything was slow - slow to order and slow to come out. Coffee prices were a bit high, e.g. an iced chai latte ($7) + extra shot ($1.25) + almond milk ($1.25) = $9.50 - it's giving Starbucks prices! They also have different flavored mimosas here and we ordered a soursop and passion fruit mimosa and they were good! Would definitely come back here for the food, but I'll probably grab coffee elsewhere.

Empanadas 10/10

I ate here every single day I was here in Puerto Rico. I LOVED their coffee so much, food was excellent and I ordered 5 different things!!! Service was excellent as well!

stuffed avocado and bae burrito
Kayla Y.

There was no wait and we were seated right away. Our server was super sweet and the food came out in about 30 minutes. the drinks were meh, the iced mocha lacked flavor and tasted like very milky coffee. the iced chai was great tho. the food was pretty good, I was excited to try the stuffed avocado and with like pork (kind of tasted like general tsao's which confused me) the bae burrito was good, nothing crazy. there were fried wonton strips? which didn't do anything for the dish, and we wished it came with fries instead. the price and wait weren't too bad, but the meal itself was okay.

The wait was just way too long after getting seated quickly. the waitress took our orders and it took over 2 hours for us to get any sort of food or even our beverage coffees. there was only 2 parties so i was not sure why it took that long. the food was okay i really liked the avacado toast. the turkey wrap was not good it was pretty bland and expensive for the price point they offer. i will not go here again it took too much of my time i cant get back C+ 4/10 coffee was okay

It's always coffee time.

The weekend brunch line is no joke, but they move thru the guests quickly and with good humor. And people in the queue were friendly enough and respectful of who arrived before them. But we went two different times and weekdays was ever so much easier. First visit I got a turkey pesto panini and split patatas bravas with hubs. Second visit I learned my lesson and got a whole order of patatas bravas. Those potatoes, with the house made signature aioli, they are to die for. They came included with my southwest chicken & waffle, which had a sweet waffle with raw sugar, but savory too, with also spinach and a fried egg to go with the chicken. Either meal I'd do again, or could work my way on down the menu -- so much looks good, and seeing things come out from the kitchen, it legit looks like the menu photos look.

I really hate to be that American that contributes to the colonization of Puerto Rico, but I was lol and this restaurant caterer to exactly that type It definitely gave a very vibe. It was filled with white people working at their computers, occasional tourists, like myself and some locals. Coffee and breakfast prices weren't as inexpensive as other places in Puerto Rico could have been but nonetheless it was a pretty good spot to hit up The counter girls were super nice spoke great English although we had a couple of Spanish speakers in our group so that wasn't necessary When my party of five needed a bigger table that had one person working at it with their desk, they kindly asked her to move to a smaller table to accommodate my party Coffee was great food was better. It was a very cute shop, nestled in santurce. definitely will be back here for my next trip to PR

The match latte
Jocelyn W.

If you come here, I don't recommend ordering the matcha. It was not good, I ended up sending it back and exchanged it for a chai latte. When the owner or manager came in, I overheard the waitress telling her that I returned the matcha because it had no flavor. The owner's response was that "that's just how matcha tastes," and said that next time someone orders it, they should be told that matcha tastes like nothing. That's simply not true. If you're going to serve something, especially something as specific as matcha, you should know how to prepare it properly, not just add it to the menu because it's trendy. As shown in the photo, the drink wasn't even the right color for matcha. This exchange made the experience uncomfortable, especially since we could clearly hear the staff talking about us. I also felt unnecessarily guilty for returning something that clearly wasn't prepared correctly in the first place. That said, the food itself was good. I recommend the BEA burrito and the stack of pancakes. But the overall service and experience were lacking, and unfortunately, that overshadowed the quality of the meal.

Egg Ham and Cheese Panini with avocado 10/10
Ivan J.

It is a small local diner. The service was good and the food even better. I had ordered the Egg Ham and Cheese panini with avocado, which the waitress recommended and it did not disappoint. We had the Patatas Bravas Loaded, she was very much loaded. Was told it has cayenne pepper and could be spicy. Honestly I loved. Been wanting something spicy. Didn't even get a chance to take home before picture, looked so good we all dived in to eat them. Do check it out

Iced vanilla latte with almond milk and one pump of vanilla
Michael L.

$9.50 for a iced latte with one pump of vanilla is something I've never seen and I live in Beverly Hills, California. As a business owner, I know it doesn't cost more than $.60 to produce a latte. Price seems a little bit outrageous. On principle, I will get my coffee elsewhere, but the ambience inside is nice and they have a couple seats out front.

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!

I've bought them at the grocery store for my mother over the years when I couldn't find Menier. I was hoping to see some unique desserts at Chocobar Cortés. Let's just say that the chocobar at this location was not what I was expecting. It's like an express version of their original one in Old San Juan. This is located in the lobby of the Condado Palm Hotel. There are 2 entrances. Don't make the same mistake we did by trying to access at street level. That door is locked. You'll need to enter through the hotel lobby. The service is very slow here. There was only one other person there. We ordered a box of 6 chocolates and payed for it. I'm guessing he was making a drink for the other guest because he asked us to wait a few minutes. It ended up being longer so he told his colleague (who just came back from a break) to make up the chocolate box for us. Unfortunately, it took even longer as this other guy was more interested in the 2 young girls who just walked in. The chocolate bonbons were good, but nothing unique. It's the same artisan chocolates that you see everywhere for the same high price. Perhaps this location is better for their specialty cocktails in the evening time. I was looking forward to trying the choco-latte at some point. I doubt there will be a next time.
