    This place is a gem. First off all the food is amazing and fresh but there is something about the bread here that is unmatched. Its soooooooooooo good!! Bakery eats are great and so are breakfast and lunch options. Be sure not to leave without trying the empanadas. The service is quick and efficient. Pro tip: Not much English is spoken here but you can get by.

    Great place

    Best bread ever. The cuban sandwiches are amazing! If you have a sweet tooth, this is the place to go to!

    Empanada, two donuts.

    This was walking distance from our air bnb. They didn't really greet us walking in nor did they speak any English which wasn't their fault. But the empanadas were amazing, one of the donuts were hard but delicious and the other was super soft. You did need a mask to enter as well. Definitely stopping by for another empanada.

    they have 2 locations now, but I have always go to the one in levittown.

    Let me start by saying that I always get my bread here when I come for vacations. I personally order to go because It is a really busy place and I dont like eating with people standing waiting for their food, but it is worth it. My mom loves it. My husband loves their sorullitos, I dont really but my main thing is the bread. That's what I always come for. Oh! And their coffee is great too! Just to let you know: -Is in a corner and there is not too much parking spots. -There is an entrance only and an exit only doors, I like that but hate it at the same time. -When you order something simple like bread & sorullitos you are in and out but if you order something like a sandwich is gonna take a few minutes. More than I will like to wait.

    Empanadas :(

    Came for the famous pan sabao. I remember having them when I young in NYC bodega sandwiches so I was excited to try it right from the source in PR.We heard Lemy was voted the best bakery on the island. The sabao: It was very good. I personally enjoyed it because it reminds me of Jamaican coco bread. Some may not like how sweet, dense and doughy it is. The texture is almost like it's intentionally undercooked. The empanadas: Probably the worst I've had in my life. But they're not too bad if you're starving, it's just that I am used to much better empanadas. The beef and chicken fillings were super dry and there wasn't much meat. After two bites you've gotten through the meat, and you're left to eat just the empanada crust which has no seasoning. We didn't get to try any of the beautiful pastries.

    Chicken empandilla

    So nice; we had it twice! Our local friend told us about Lemy's sweet bread. The bread that somehow stays soft for days on end--I guess it's really well-known for it! It's sweet, and is very similar to King's Hawaiian bread but moister. When we met up with a local friend, he even had a few loaves for us to enjoy for the car ride. Who needs Kind bars when you can have this instead? Savory food like empandillas run out in the evening so get there earlier in the day. When we went back a second time, I had the chicken empandilla (empanada) which was pretty good, and a decent-size. Unfortunately, I tried their relleno, which I figured would be a vegetarian softball of potatoiness but I was wrong in that there was a mystery meat in it that tasted...fishy. Coffee drinkers rejoice! You can get an actual big cup of coffee here (16 oz) instead of the leprechaun serving common in PR. I find it funny that on a green lush island, every to-go beverage is served in styrofoam cups: where does all the styrofoam go?? If you don't specify how you want your coffee, it will come our Puertorrian-style, which is shots of coffee with a ton of milk. We tested that bread too. Day 2 1/2 and the bread was as soft as a baby's bum ;)

    You can sit in there , nice AC too

    Very good bakery and there are having Puerto Rican lunch there too. The cake and other bakery looked awesome, I would have board them all. You can even find fresh donuts too. Serving coffee too. If you like you can sit right there and have your coffee and cake. Beach is like 2 min in car. It's very friendly and clean.

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.

My sister got their iced mocha. She likes her coffee sweeter than I do but she still really liked her drink too. The reason I'm giving this place 4 stars is because all the tables were a bit dirty. It wasn't busy when we first walked in but we still had to wipe down our own table

The super friendly gentleman he gave us the backstory of why he started this restaurant. Changing his diet helped him recover from cancer. And it was about the way he ate. So he wanted to share this opportunity with meat eaters. So the whole goal of his restaurant is vegan food for meat eater so they can see that they are not missing anything. The owner also is a famous DJ. He has a talk show radio. And he's been doing it since the 70s. It was a lovely experience my Bestie found this restaurant for me. Because I'm a vegan/sometimes pescatarian. I don't get to try all the foods. It was such a lovely experience.

It was dim inside, which created a cooler environment. Their menu mostly consists of breakfast sandwiches and drinks (coffees). I went with their ham and cheese sandwich. They asked me which of two breads I wanted: tostado o sobao and if I wanted mayonnaise or butter. I asked which bread is more popular and she said sobao since its more buttery and softer and I opted for the mayonnaise. After ordering, I was given a beeper, so when it went off, it meant my food was ready. We took a seat and noticed the art on the walls. After about 7-10 minutes, my food was ready. It was a pretty decent sized sandwich, cut in half. The cheese was perfectly melted and the bread was slightly toasted. The bread was soft as mentioned, and a tad bit sweet. The ham was savory and delicious. I do think the mayonnaise helped give everything more flavor. The paper they wrapped the sandwiches with was cool; it almost looked like newspaper but it wasn't. My friends ordered other versions of sandwiches and tried the empanadas and coffee - all of them were satisfied. I would highly recommend based off flavor as well as customer service. We felt at home, and one of the staff members was patient with my friend practicing her Spanish.

So, all in all, a really nice impression. Definitely a good place to go.
