Local coffee roaster tucked into a beautiful old San Juan building -- high ceilings, exposed wood…read morebeams, and an arched menu board that gives the whole space a warm, artisanal feel without trying too hard. 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!

They also told us about Hacienda Iluminada, their coffee roastery, which sounds so cool and is definitely something I want to check out!

The prices here were so reasonable. We got a trippleta, which was big enough to share and it was only $13 bucks. It was so good too!

As you can imaging, there was a line, as everyone wants to be a part of this. All Bad Bunny music playing. There's the bar, then some table on the back, not a very large space. Drink menu has, of course, the café con ron, plus 7 other "signature" drinks plus some other "classics". The Café con Ron is like a dessert and strong. It will wake you up and have you "happy" for the day. Also tried the Doble 6, very refreshing, and the Algo Refrescante. To be able to keep the day going, without an early hangover we had a tripleta. This was made with pan sobao and included malanga chips. Absolutely delicious. To finish, the server brought us Pitorro the Coco (as the song says, "pa'que vacilara") and with that note we left. Service was friendly at all points. The place is a bit loud but that is what you would expect. Even after the concert fever is over I would go back and recommend all to visit it too.

The staff member who took my order was very friendly and offered some helpful suggestions. After ordering, I waited outside for about 15 minutes for my food. Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed with how the order was packaged. The two coffees were placed in a paper bag, while the orange juices were in a separate plastic bag. This made it difficult to carry everything back to the hotel. As it turned out, the coffees spilled along the way and the paper bag broke, so we ended up with no coffee to enjoy with our breakfast. I also wasn't impressed with the orange juice. It was described as freshly squeezed, but to me, it tasted more like very sweet, watered-down juice. Where they did well was with the Pinky breakfast. We ordered two, but honestly, one would have been enough for the two of us. I really enjoyed the sandwich. Overall, the food was decent and the staff was friendly, but the packaging and orange juice were disappointing. While I enjoyed the sandwich, we didn't feel the need to go back again.

The food was served on paper plates with disposable utensils, which was disappointing since the photos on their page suggested glass plates and silverware. The hummus was overly oily, and the bread was toasted more than we would have liked. We also ordered the smoked salmon omelet, but the salmon was mixed inside the omelet instead of being served on top as expected. The service was average. Our server was polite, but she didn't check on our table after bringing the food, so I had to get her attention when we needed something. I would give the restaurant another chance because the atmosphere was enjoyable, but improving the presentation, food execution, and attentiveness of the service would make for a much better experience.
