    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.

    Empanadas :(
    Jasmine S.

    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.

    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.

    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.

They were serving lunch so we tried the Pernïl and rice and beans. We also got a salmon plate and a chicken cacciatore cooked in Spanish rice. The restaurant is old and very unassuming, but it doesn't stop the crowds of people to come and visit and see old San Juan history which this building has to be part of. It's not glamorous but you feel like you transported back into the very early years of Old San Juan when maybe it was still just San Juan.

Pictures of Old San Juan in the early 1900s line the walls to show how little the town has changed in the past century, and Mallorca Cafetería is a gem that has withstood the test of time. Definitely an affordable breakfast as the most expensive mallorca is still under $10. Cafe con leche in styrofoam cups is a staple that is great even in the heat. Definitely worth getting a cup of orange juice as it is freshly squeezed to order. During my stay in Puerto Rico I had several mallorcas around the island but none come close to what I consider the original. Pressed and doused in powdered sugar it's surprisingly both light and filling. We had tried coming at around 9a the previous day and there was already a long line outside so we chose go to somewhere else but made sure we were out the door by 6:30a the next day to get to Mallorca before it opened and there was still a bit of a line. We were able to get in and situate ourselves once they opened at 7a; there are lots of small tables with chairs which we chose because we had a larger group but if dining solo or with one person it's definitely a great experience to sit at the bar for a more traditional feel. Again, this is a must for me every time I am in San Juan and I'm happy to carve out some time for one of the greatest breakfasts you can have. Would rate ten stars if it were possible.

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.

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!

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.
