We got the Torta de Chocolate Francesa cake and Alfajores con Dulce de Leche which were Buttery pecan shortbread stuffed with home-made dulce de leche. I suggest you enjoy them warm with coffee. This is a location that you have to pre-order everything online that is specialty for pick up. There is no sit down room here, This is everything to go. They do have two of the locations that are sit down for brunch, lunch and dinner. They do sell coffee and pre-sliced cake here . The cake was delicious and phenomenal and the cookies did not last at all. Wish we're able to try through everything. Thank you again for our last-minute accommodation.

The Quesito was like a croissant with pastry cream, in the shape of a Danish pastry. The croissant dough was full of buttery aroma and flavor -- so flakey! The Apple Tart used the same buttery and flakey croissant base, and with a touch of pastry cream underneath the apple slices; I have not had an Apple Tart like this. After my breakfast, I ordered a Broccoli Sandwich to-go for lunch later. The focaccia bread was deliciously salty. I almost forgot I was eating broccoli.

Oh boy... this was a 10/10!…read more After spending a long, hot day exploring Old San Juan with the kids, we stopped by Cortés ChocoBar in Condado for something cold, and it was exactly what we needed. We ordered three of their frozen chocolate drinks, and every single one was absolutely delicious. Thankfully, it wasn't busy when we stopped by, so it was the perfect place to cool off and take a break from the heat. The café had a modern, inviting atmosphere, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. I asked if one of the frozen drinks could be split for the kids, and although they didn't split it for us, they happily gave us two extra cups so we could divide it ourselves. It was a simple gesture that we really appreciated. The frozen chocolate drink was rich, creamy, refreshing, and perfectly chocolatey without being overly sweet. Even the whipped cream was delicious, especially with the chocolate pieces on top. Everyone in our group loved it, and it quickly became our favorite sweet treat of the trip. Whenever we're craving something cold and chocolatey during our stay in Puerto Rico, this will definitely be our go-to spot. We can't wait to come back and try their bonbons before we head home!

It's the chocobar extension of the Caribbean Chocolate Cortés brand of bars that are similar to the…read moreFrench Chocolat-Menier used for making hot chocolate. 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.

Café Don Ruiz - A Little Coffee Museum in Old San Juan…read more Café Don Ruiz is a charming little coffee shop tucked inside the Cuartel de Ballajá in Old San Juan. It's a great place to stop for a cup of coffee and some pastries after exploring Castillo San Felipe del Morro. More than just a café, Café Don Ruiz feels like a miniature coffee museum. It showcases old coffee-making machinery and offers a glimpse into the history of coffee roasting, making the experience both enjoyable and educational. The coffee was smooth and flavorful, pairing perfectly with a ham and cheese croissant sandwich. They also offer a variety of pastries, cookies, croissants, and cakes to satisfy your sweet tooth. If you're exploring Old San Juan, Café Don Ruiz is a lovely spot to take a break, enjoy a good cup of coffee, and learn a little about Puerto Rico's coffee culture.

Although the pork was a bit dry, the avocado and chocolate sauce rounded it out. Got a ham and egg burrito for my sons and they both enjoyed splitting it. Was VERY large. Wife enjoyed her Puerto Rican Bowl a lot. I personally thought the pork, again was dry, but she didn't seem to mind. Ended it with a lava cake. We ordered it after eating everything and it took A LONG time. Granted, that just means it's fresh. Just didn't expect it to take 20+ minutes. So PRO TIP: Don't order it after eating. Order it early.

The chocolate ketchup was surprisingly decent, but I wasn't standing up yelling, "GET THE SCIENTIST!". Somebody put chocolate in ketchup and I handled it pretty well. Also got an Old Fashioned with chocolate dripped around it. It was fine. The atmosphere was hectic. I went alone, so I was just sitting there holding my little chocolate whiskey while everybody else had people who knew where they were. Couldn't eat upstairs either. I really wanted to. Don't know whats up there. Writing this out, I realize "this place won me over" might be generous. We reached a ceasefire. I'd give it 3.5 stars, rounding to 4 because I ordered the most basic thing available and can't make that everybody's problem. Might come back next time I'm in San Juan and actually participate in the concept.

Alongside that, we had a cappuccino and a detox juice, both of which were excellent. We also ordered an açaí bowl, and it was super fresh and made just the way we like it. They serve everything in takeout-style boxes, and you can enjoy your meal outside on the benches, soaking in the open-air vibe and views. Definitely a spot worth checking out in Condado!
