Our favorite spot in town. Food is absolutely fantastic and coffee and lattes were amazing. Wonderful service and beautiful setting. Orders take a little longer than some other places but a nice place to relax. Not a spot to miss!! read more

Pleasant staff, 100% prioritizes locals over tourists. We watched as they consistently served residents seated well after we arrived. We waited over an hour for eggs & hash, while others sat 30 minutes after us, got their food, finished and left. We were anticipating island time, but if they told us it'd take over an hour, we would have gone elsewhere. Would recommend the local bakery, or even D'Frozzo across the street, that's an ice cream / coffee shop, but also serves full breakfast. The food was good, but definitely not worth the wait. read more

Sustainable food/farm to table...Best breakfast in Vieques. Service was great and had the best ambiance. Reasonable prices and delicious coffee: go there! Have an endearing patio out back if you prefer to sit outside. The staff asked us to move inside due to rain and made accommodations. read more

We were there very close to 8am and were one of the first patrons there. We ordered the food and were left waiting as others after us got their food. Apparently, our orders were never put in! We were hoping to get an early start to the day but alas did not. The RR bowls were tasty and enjoyed the laid-back ambiance. Staff were extremely friendly and spoke very good English. read more

Rising Roost - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vieques, Puerto Rico

We arrived very early on Vieques and were desperate for coffee. Luckily, Rising Roost not only makes delicious coffee, but also has a wonderful breakfast menu and a cozy (and shady!) outdoor seating space. Really helpful and friendly staff. Absolutely perfect way to start your day exploring the island! read more

It took 60 minutes for our order of two entrees to arrive; not exaggerating. The table next to us ordered after us and got their two entrees 20 minutes before us. Food tasted good, nothing amazing. Serving size is small and we were left unsatisfied and still a little hungry. The staff was friendly. Definitely not worth spending $40 for two unfulfilled meals that takes 60 minutes to be served. read more

This spot has the BEST breakfast/ brunch on the island--- from the atmosphere, ambiance, hospitality, drinks, and food! Everyone is so sweet there which makes it that better of an experience. Food is mouth-watering from the pictures but it is even better IRL. Can't wait for tomorrows breakfast! This is definitely must go!!! Can't go wrong with their menu! read more

I went here for takeout but in hindsight I would have ate there because of the nice ambience! The inside part of the restaurant is very open and has a patio feel, in addition to an actual outdoor eating area in the back. The food was delicious- we got the breakfast tacos, breakfast burrito w/ bacon, and guacamole which tasted house made. Everything was super yummy, flavorful, and seemed like farm-to- table. Staff was friendly and service was good as they continued to bring me water as I sat and waited for my food. When you're only on the island for a short amount of time and want to experience the best eats, it can be hard to weed out the touristy places that aren't worth it. So I'd put this place on your itinerary and don't miss it! read more

Food is good, but unremarkable. Highish prices and Brooklynesque vibe. I had the RR Bowl and a coffee. Both were just fine. The RR Bowl was rice-heavy, though it was good rice. The pique was akin to a vinegar-based pepper sauce you can get in the states. The staff were very friendly and helpful, which is why I give it four stars. This was basically our first stop after getting off the ferry, and a server had helpful ideas for things to do and places to eat and see in this low season (September), when a lot is closed. I appreciated their friendliness and the cute pets they had hanging around. read more

Rising Roost - Back yard seating area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vieques, Puerto Rico

While we were on the lovely island of Vieques we went straight there after getting off the ferry to have breakfast. Sat outside on a nice Saturday morning and had a wonderful breakfast, two eggs, pan de aqua toasted and potatoes with sweet plantains. So good we went back on Sunday. Sunday I had the special "Dominican" breakfast and wow it was great. Mashed plantains with garlic, topped with grilled onions with two eggs and Dominican sausage. When we go back to visit Vieques we will eat here again. read more

This gorgeous establishment is a unique, boutique breakfast stop with exceptional atmosphere, excellent coffee and above average food. Unfortunately, the service does not meet the same standard. Our experience was disappointing as the food took over an hour to arrive, with some of our dishes cold to the touch. We also waited extremely long stretches of time for water and for drinks. We watched as several tables ordered, got drinks, got food, paid the check and left before we had been served. We thought they had forgotten about our order so we asked the manager, who was quite indignant that the wait was because they were short staffed, and that she had warned us of this. It took another ten minutes to bring the check, seemingly out of spite. I would not go back as I was made to feel like an unwelcome tourist. read more

Short on staff but not on service! Rising Roost was friendly and accommodating. The outdoor upper deck is super chill and cute. We had iced lattes, a yogurt bowl and acai bowl. All was delicious and we look forward to returning for a hot meal so soon. read more

Best breakfast I've had anywhere in quite sometime. The lechon breakfast quesadilla was incredible. Try the house-made hot sauce.

Always such a treat to come here for breakfast. Super fresh food, friendly staff, adorable environment, delicious coffee (insert any number of compliments here). Leah has created a small but consistently good menu, simple really good food. She also has fresh juices, a fab array of coffee drinks, and little sweetie treat muffins or the like. If you are curious - GO!!! I travel a lot and I (is there a word stronger than love) breakfast, and this is one of 5 favorite spots in the world. read more

Rising Roost - Cappuccino delicioso!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vieques, Puerto Rico

First stop in Vieques. Headed here straight from the ferry for some coffee and breakfast. There was a short wait but it moved quickly. Cappuccino and cortadito was terrific, the barista did a great job. We got the acai bowl and the RR bowl for food, made with local ingredients. Everything was fresh and the RR bowl was filling but nothing outstanding. I was really excited for the acai bowl on the island and was disappointed when the food arrived, it was a really small portion for the price and the description said local island fruits, all I got was kiwi. I have had better acai bowls in California. Maybe stick to their popular menu options. read more

Really nice ambiance and delicious food! We ordered French toast, yogurt bowl with almond butter, and ice coffee. Yogurt bowl is more of a small bite portion so if you are looking for a filling breakfast would order something else with it! read more

This place is just a gem!!!!! I highly encourage you to visit this places and try the Mimosas and especially the Lolomosas. We were a group of 10 people and they were able to accommodate us and the service was so great. The place is very cozy and servers are amazing. Owner is always pending and giving recommendations, she even went above and beyond to help us find some natural coconut water on the island. Food was soooo great. I tried the lobster tacos and "el de aqui", my husband tried the pork tacos and one of the sandwiches. Our friends tried different things from the menu from the açaí to omelettes and everything was wonderful. Coffee and fresh juices were also delicious. Everything was simply amazing! Make sure you go and visit them! read more

This might not just be the breakfast spot in Vieques, but in all of Puerto Rico. Greatest quality, well balanced flavors, full of puertorican breakfast, heavy and light options, all locally sourced. My bf and I go there every single time we go to Vieques read more

We came here the first morning in Vieques after getting off the ferry and then returned the next two mornings. The food was absolutely delicious, the waitstaff was very friendly, and the environment was perfect. I highly recommend the RR bowl, the orange juice, and the lattes/cortadito. Delicious coffee and food made with local ingredients. read more

Place is adorable. Drinks and food great! Servers friendly .However the over an hour wait after placing order was a killer. Ruined our whole experience and put a damper on the day. Though it was obvious to me many customers seemed unhappy while the manager was clearly trying to normalize it, when its not normal. I get island time but this was on another level. Such a shame!! Also the line outside is not a reflection of table availability. I suggest eating a little something before you go. read more

Ate there twice during our stay on the island, and I think they were the best breakfasts we had on vacation. The coffee was top notch, the French toast was great, and the hash-browns were some of the best I have ever had - and, I often choose breakfast places by whether or not they serve hash-browns or home fries. I had two breakfast sandwiches, and have to say that the Esta Bien Bueno was my favorite -- though the Breakfast Sandwich with the ciabatta toasted could be as equally delightful. The service was also amazing, and both of our servers went over the top to deal with some special requests we made to our orders. If I lived in Vieques, or this was in my neighborhood, this would be my regular spot for breakfast. Also, the two house cats, and several house chickens, make a sit in the patio extra enjoyable. I can't wait to go back! read more

100% Amazing! This diamond is a must go to! Your taste buds will sing. We ordered the RR Bowl and it brought tears to my eyes. I know Puerto Rican's aren't known for guacamole nor tortilla chips, but this is not the typical mom and pops restaurant. We'll be back. Service is top notch. read more

Rising roost also operates a little roadside coffee stand in Esperanza - because of my experience at the roadside Joe's coffee, I'll definitely skip our planned breakfasts at the Rising Roost close to our house. No posted price list, and then we were charged $10 for 2 espressi - vs the $3.50 for an espresso at the Rising Roost which is already fairly steep. That's what I call a rip-off. And I am from NYC. read more

Love love love this place! Our server Ayda was such a sweetie pie and took the best care of us, a party of 9, two days in a row! The owner is also super attentive and always walking around making sure everyone is having the best experience. Try the RR or one of the eggs in a bread bowl- super delish! French toast is unique and decadent as well. Highly recommend and 100% will be coming back! read more

Best French toast I have tasted and it's so different they use a different type of bread then what is normally used. The Cortadito was amazing as well with one raw sugar it made it taste just right. The staff was super friendly, and they spoke English. I would highly recommend this place. read more

I had the breakfast burrito. It was Ok, kinda dry. Our table was right beside the entrance and next to an open window but they insisted we put on a mask to walk the three steps to our table, while the entire restaurant sat unmasked. Stupidity at its finest. Many other bars and restaurants in town do not insist on this type of theater so I would recommend you check out one of those. read more

Rising Roost - El de aqui 10/10 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vieques, Puerto Rico

Food is pretty decent, hence the 2 stars, but the owner is not very nice. It took an hour and 20 min to get our food. Our server was really nice, so not faulting her. One member in our party ordered orange juice and it came with ice, which he didn't want. So he asked for an orange juice with no ice because last time he was in Puerto Rico he got sick by drinking or eating something. Owner said he'd have to pay for another glass, which he said ok to/ In the US I've never had OJ with ice at a brunch place so idk what she's talking about. Food was good but not worth the 1 hour 20 min wait. But this island has very limited options so I guess take what you get. Point is: owner sucks but ok food. Be aware that this is how vieques is generally. read more

PHENOMENAL. The service, the food & the atmosphere was all a truly an amazing experience. The PR bowl came filled and bursted with flavor. All 4 of my friends also ordered different items and agreed the quality and presentation of the food and drinks were top notch. read more

Really needs more hours of operation, but when it's open it's a very nice breakfast place. The Açaí bowl is excellent if I had a bit pricey; along with a cappuccino around $20. read more

Really great experience overall, good customer services, the best lolomosas in town and love the sandwich "El bote"

The RR bowl lives up to the hype. Solid breakfast, good service, and a cool place in general.

They have a beautiful outdoor seating patio, as soon we got here they told us they were short on staff in the kitchen but food didn't take as long as we thought. When we tried the food it was delicious I had el de Aqui plate and it was amazing our waitress was funny and super friendly and attentive. I'd recommend this place 100% read more

Waitress was making snarky and rude comments and remarks every interaction! It started when our group of 7 informed her we needed separate checks, her demeanor went downhill immediately! This was by far the worst customer service I have received in my entire trip to Puerto Rico. The breakfast sandwich I ordered had zero flavor and came out cold, breakfast tacos had no flavor and food was cold. A cat jumped on our table startled my mother in law she screamed and that startled my brother in law that knocked over his drink. When we informed the waitress she said oh well and then said what cat? Then left. Didn't offer another drink or anything! Spoke to the owner afterwards and instead of accountability she offered excuses. I have a degree in business management and have managed sales and customer service teams for years and the owner's response to our complaint was to say she has great reviews and that her server must be having a bad day. Should have seen this coming when there wasn't a single local Puerto Rican in the restaurant. Don't waste your time or money here! read more

One of the few places in Vieques that serves hot breakfast. The avocado toast with egg over easy was simple but well done, and the breakfast bowl with beans and rice was great! The delicious Red Juice got me ready for the day while we relaxed and played their board games on the adorable back patio. Cute little shop as well.
