Delicious pastries, sandwiches, and breakfast platters. For sweet pastries, I had the guava, chocolate, and almond. They were all great, though the almond was top dog. Everyone at my table was doubting my Brie and fig sandwich selection, but they all ended up loving it. The chocolate chip walnut cookie is also very solid. read more

The coffee was delicious, but unfortunately the atmosphere left a lot to be desired. The place is extremely tiny and felt chaotic with way too many people packed into such a small space. There were also dogs running around the shop and jumping on people, which made it feel even more hectic. There isn't really a counter to order at because of how small the space is, so the whole experience felt a little disorganized. It's honestly disappointing because the coffee is really good, and I wish the ambiance matched the quality of the coffee. I'd definitely come back for the coffee, but I'd probably take it to go. read more

Very intimate with limited seating indoors and outdoors, but popular and very busy! We managed to get a seat before 11am and shared a couple of brioche pastries and the sourdough strata. The lunch menu begins at 11:30am which also looked great. read more

This place is a real gem. We stopped here during our cruise port day and I am so happy we did. The coffee was excellent and the food was even better. This is a small café. Allow yourself some time to slow down and enjoy. Service was very kind and attentive. read more

A small bakeshop/cafe in the middle of San Juan, Spiga is very close to the Old San Juan pier section of the cruise ports. My brother and I stopped in after 1 pm, which is well past the most popular time of the shop. The good news was that it meant there was some inside seating. The bad news was the selection of baked goods was almost all gone. We ended up picking up 2 Galletas Choco+Nueces (Chocolate walnut cookies for $4)...cakey, not crispy. Also a hot bun ($3.75) with beach almonds, which was the last one available. Pretty good. read more

It's hard to reiterate how absolutely stellar this place is, but I'll try. Although I tend to be more of an explorer than a repeater when it comes to vacation food, Spiga was too good to visit only once. We came back for coffee and pastries every morning. Though everything was delicious, the star for me is the Almond pastry. It is as pillowy soft as a cumulous cloud and perfectly sweet. One of these alone is basically worth the flight ticket. Just absolutely fantastic and a true cannot miss mouth experience. read more

I made sure to stop at this famous spot before leaving San Juan, and I'm so glad I did! It's a tiny space with limited seating, and people waiting in line stand pretty close to those who are eating--but it's all part of the charm. The smell inside is incredible, and the place is clearly popular with both locals and tourists. The waitress was so sweet and welcoming. We ordered from the chalkboard menu without realizing there are even more options available if you scan the QR code--wish I had tried the egg sandwich! That said, I was still really happy with everything we ordered. We had the guava butter and almond pastry, the quiche, and coffee. Everything was outstanding. I can't wait to come back for more pastries next time I'm in town! read more

Really great, centrally located lunch spot for when you're exploring Old San Juan! I got their mozzarella and tomato sandwich and my husband got their bell peppers and Italian sausage linguini and both were delicious and filling. Coffee is excellent and service is friendly. Casual ambiance and small but cozy space. Really adorable shop dogs. read more

I inhaled the cinnamon roll with orange zest with zero inhibition, and proceeded to stare at the rest during my entire meal in order to plot the next victim (opted for chocolate chip walnut cookies to go :). Service is super friendly. There's only a handful of tables inside, and two outside, but turnover is fairly quick, and the staff keeps track of who is waiting. We had two breakfast sandwiches - mine with homemade pesto, thin slices of ham and fried eggs, and my partner had the ham, brie and homemade fig jam with added eggs. The sourdough bread was perfectly toasted and delicious. Washed down with the really tasty mocha (made with ground chocolate that sinks to the bottom and gives you that last jolt of delight at the end of the cup), it was a perfect start to the day. Highly recommend! read more

Dependable spot for a quick pastry/ coffee or a grab and go pasta/ sandwich. I love that you can tell the ingredients are fresh. Although the place is small, but nothing different than a place in NY, they still have tables inside and outside and maximize the space. Love coming here for lunch and the service is always good even when it's packed. Some menu items are creative, but never "bad and nasty" in my experience read more

I was a bit disappointed with the food. I ordered their orange cinnamon roll and didn't taste any orange. I was intrigued but the lame but it was a let down. Their sandwich (I think it's Brie) is really gross, don't order it. But the items my friends got looked great and they didn't complain. read more

We had the most lovely lunch here. The owner Katia very kindly accommodated our big group of 7 adults and 2 babies in their small space. All of the food (caprese salad, prosciutto and brie sandwich, homemade pasta) was delicious and the service was excellent. Can't recommend highly enough! read more

Super cute but super small. Fortunately, our lunch was later so we were able to score a table. Nice service, too. GREAT food! We shared the fresh pasta and a fantastic grilled caprese sandwich. Appreciate the yelpers helping us find Spiga in Old San Juan! read more

Terrible experience. I was met with friendliness at first and then the owner brought up real estate and it turned into a racial thing and how she actual hates Americans and I told her we are leaving and then she tried to ask my wife to not leave a bad review. I had to remove myself wife, and two kids from this place and her employees were horrified .... If you are an American don't talk business with the owner or anything to do with U.S. or Puerto rico. And if the owner sees this, you need to repent change your ways and you owe yourself an apology, your employees and those around you. Get it together and be grateful you have a business to start .. read more

I was wandering Old Town and stumbled across this tiny but cute place. I went inside and met Katia, the spunky and fun owner. She was taking orders and making drinks and so nice and personable, talking with her guests. She showed me how to get the digital QR code menu and the specials were written on the board. There was a lemon citrus cake that looked amazing, but I went with the sourdough strata special. Katia said they make the sourdough in house, as well as a fig jam. The sourdough starts was like a savory monkey bread. It had ham, cheese, onion and the homemade sourdough, and it came with a mixed green salad. It was DELICIOUS. I also tried her bottled locally sourced organic ginger beer. A great combo to start the morning. I wanted to buy her work shirt off of her, it's so cool, but she ran out of that specific design (she had others available. Katia was so nice, she offered to ship one to me. The food was great, service amazing, and the vibes on point. I will definitely be returning! read more

What a charming place !!!! Ollie the little mixed breed dog meets you and lives at the restaurant during service. We got the prosciutto caprese sandwich and it was awesome !! We sat at one of the outdoor two top tables, and it was just like a dream come true with the breeze, coming off the sea and being able to people watch. The interior of the restaurant itself is very cozy, but the food is spectacular and the just overall Field makes you fall in love with Puerto Rico all over again. read more

Walking in, Spiga has a quaint, comfortable coffee shop feel. The pastries looked amazing and the menu was laid out well, with a more extensive menu using the QR code. Everything was delicious! The cold brew came in a can and was smooth and tasty without cream. The almond pastry is a must and was so moist with delicious frosting. We both got specials of the day and it was the perfect size for starting our day. We will be back to try their sandwiches! read more

This is delicious authentic Italian. Amazing! Highly recommend you go if in Puerto Rico!

Yowza! THAT was a good breakfast sandwich. And the egg scramble my wife has was huge (I had to help her out, which tired me out enough that I only ate two pastries - get the guava coconut and smile). Came back another day because, well it's fantastic. Everyone knows it, too: cross your fingers that your timing will get you a table. The staff are pros and are friendlier than I'd expect. This is a remarkable little place. read more

It's VERY small and cramped but their baked goods are absolutely delicious, especially the cookies.

Fantastic fresh baked treats and bread, plus yummy, quick, and filling breakfast options in a really cute, inviting spot. Delicious espresso drinks. I came here alone and when I left I felt like I was taking the warmth of the owner (? cute lady with curly hair and a big smile) and everyone eating there, plus the little house doggie, along with me. Can't recommend enough if you're looking for a cute local stop. Highly recommend the almond buns. read more

We went here based off reviews. The place is very small & they seem to stay busy so it was crowded. I got a little discouraged just because I felt crammed but we found a corner table open so we stayed and we were glad we did. The guava pastries and chocolate almond cooked were delicious & so fresh. We ordered the salmon sandwich and the ham sandwich (can't remember the name) that were both delicious! You can tell they make the bread in-house because of how fresh it tasted. I have to give props to Our waitress because she was the only one there & was on top of her game. She acknowledged everyone & got to everyone as quick as she could. She was friendly and nice. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Easily one of the better places we ate in OSJ. Great place to pop into for breakfast or lunch. Seating is limited. Just sit down and someone will come to take your order. Service was friendly and prompt. We ordered two sandwiches (pastrami & rosemarino). Bread is baked in house. Sandwiches were warm, crispy, well seasoned and delicious. We also split a guava butter brioche which was delightful. read more
