Military latte (6 oz), which is made up of matcha, cacao, vanilla, espresso, and oat milk, was delicioussss--I highly recommend this if you want to try a new kind of latte! I could taste every one of these flavors. Soooo good. The matcha earthiness, the chocolatey bitterness, the espresso roasty-ness, and the vanilla sweetness... I think the 6 oz size was perfect for me, small enough that all the flavors were concentrated, yum My friend got a chai latte, and it was great too, lightly sweet and good spice flavor. We also tried a walnut brownie and a guava shortbread. The brownie was too moist/dense for me, and the chocolate flavor was quite light. Guava shortbread was sweet and unique. Super friendly service! The cafe was very cooling on a hot late summer day. read more

Count me out fam. According to our Uber driver, this part of SJ PR is stuffy AF! And that's not from the sticky humidity in the air. Well, he was absolutely right. This shop proved that and it kinda felt like a doctors office, rather than a coffee shop. Instead of folks chatting about and meeting each other, it was a super sterile environment that is absolutely not my speed. I like to chit chat, but here, that's tough sledding. Baristas didn't say a single world to each other in the 20 minutes we were there. They took our orders and didn't say a word. Really odd vibe and just not for me. But hey, maybe they were hacked off about something and were having a bad day. Highly unlikely, but it's all good. I doubt I will ever find my way back to PR anyway. read more

This was the only cafe I could find in this area that wasn't Starbucks. Unfortunately, they didn't have ice. I waited a bit and someone came in with bagged ice. I got a cinnamon and honey iced latte and it just wasn't anything that great. Just an honest review since I was looking for small businesses / local coffeeshop when on vacation.

Iced Military Coffee: overhyped! If you're a fan of the regular iced shaken espresso or iced dirty chai at Starbucks, this is not worth it. It's bland, no body, and has neither matcha nor coffee flavor. There was no taste of vanilla at all. You have to add a lot of sweetener if you want to make it taste like something, which will make it unhealthy. I regret wasting my steps on my Apple Watch. 1 star. Service: There were 5 people ahead of me but the line moved very quickly. Other past customers have complained about an unfriendly female barista, but the one I had today was very friendly with good customer service. The male barista who prepared my drink coffee was friendly as well despite the chaos. 1 star. Total of 2 stars. read more

Then I can't remember what breakfast sandwich I had but it was really good, I think it was hams and cheese with an egg. I got it on brioche. It was tasty and filling. The service was quick.

Trendy, artistic, and pretty darn good. Located at the heart of Condado Beach, this coffee shop is a combination of American modernism and Puerto Rican cuisine. The food: Monte Cristo - French toast sandwich with Turkey, cheese and powdered sugar on top. First off, I love Monte Cristos but I rarely order them because of the extremely high sugar content and I really don't like sweets that much. That said- this monte cristo had the lightest fluffiest French toast I've ever had. I wish the dish had a littttllee more salt in it but that's probably personal preference. If you love French toast, you'll probably love this dish. The drink: Iced Military Latte - matcha, cocoa, vanilla, and espresso with milk (I chose oat). I'm a caffeine fiend and I love a good well crafted coffee drink and BOY! This drink is definitely a unique experience. I am WIDE awake after this. I can't say much about the flavor. I think I just don't like matcha particularly... it's definitely an earthy drink with the matcha and cocoa. If you like matcha chocolate you'll like this drink. read more

Stumbled on this coffee shop while staying at LaConcha. I'm so happy I did. They play upbeat music while you wait. It is small, but not uncomfortably small while you wait for your order. There are a few tables to sit and eat inside and a few outside. I had the frittata which came with your choice of bread - including pancakes and French toast as an option. My second time there I got the frittata again and the cereal milk latte after reading some other Yelp reviews. As an 80s babies, I am in recovery from a childhood cereal addition and this latte - the cinnamon option - was delish! read more

As a barista myself - whose in the process of opening a cafe in NYC in the coming month. I have to say this place was everything I was looking for here in San Juan. I ordered a cortado as well as a pocillo for myself and my girlfriend ordered an iced chagaccino. The cortado and pocillo (basically a slightly larger ~1oz larger cortado) were made to just the right temperature, for those who care the latte art was great as well, and the espresso itself was very evenly extracted. We also ordered some breakfast - a breakfast burrito with your choice of fillings and a French toast with fruit. Both were prepared in a timely fashion and were greatly portioned. They also have plenty of pastry and other options as well, we tried the coconut pecan loaf which was amazing. Considering the busy flow of customers, the barista pulling the shots and making the drinks was conversational and friendly which shows a true sign of expertise in his element. Definitely will come back again! read more

this was a great coffee shop conveniently located outside my hotel in Condado. The staff was friendly and helpful and followed Covid protocols with masks and limited capacity. I tried the bonbon latte w/ Almond milk. Highly recommend if it's your first time! Had just the right amount of flavor and sweetness. Also tried the Military latte, also not bad though a tad bitter if you're into that. The only negative I will say is the time I ordered the Military latte my barista told me it was available, but the next party that asked for it's availability with another barista were told it was not available.

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 had this spot on my list thanks to instagram and it did not disappoint. Everything is freshly baked (I believe on location) and you can definitely taste it in every bite. We got guava, quesito, be&c on a fresh croissant, the croissant pudding and some other delicious muffin that the guy said they were know for. It was so good we are going to stop by there again later this week. The location is tucked away in a random strip mall. Parking is a little chaotic. The interior gives old school New York bakery vibes. The smell - is divine. We were greeted promptly and the server answered all of our questions (& even helped us pick some items). Everyone was very nice. Can't wait to go back & eat even more.

Delicious, a little pricy compared to other local spots but the quality is worth it!! Everything I purchased was excellent : Ham & Brie sandwich on a thick but fluffy sandwich bread was soooo good! It was a guava sauce in it and was topped with powdered sugar The avena (oatmeal) was delicious and topped with berries My husband got the reuben and he said it was great We both had a cafe con leche with two shots of espresso and that was great too All the pastries looked amazing so we got one to-go, the pistachio croissant! It had a nice filling Lastly my daughter had the scrambled eggs and they came with toast, also good! Service was friendly and welcoming. We went on a sat morning and it was super packed, difficult to find seating in such a small space and we were a big group, but again- worth it!

I recently visited Barista and tried their oat milk latte with sugar-free caramel and coconut--absolutely divine! The latte was perfectly balanced, creamy, and had just the right hint of sweetness without being overwhelming. The flavor combination was unique and delightful. Additionally, their croissants were fresh, flaky, and buttery, making the perfect pairing with my latte. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made the experience even better. Highly recommend Barista for a top-notch coffee and pastry experience! read more

Café Regina

I found Café Regina on Instagram, and it definitely did not disappoint…read more The vibe was everything I could have asked for. On this particular rainy day, it seemed like everyone had brought their dogs, and between the acoustics and the barking, it was a little overwhelming after a night out in San Juan. That said, the atmosphere, coffee, and overall aesthetic more than made up for it. The space is full of thoughtful touches, from the beautiful flower arrangements to the cute décor, and of course the Bad Bunny Vogue magazine that felt perfectly at home there. It has that effortlessly cool, cozy energy that makes you want to stay awhile. I tried the watermelon drink, which was delicious and a great option if you're looking for something outside the coffee sphere. I also had the cashew coffee, which was really good, especially if you're a cashew fan. But honestly, looking around, I don't think you can go wrong with any of their coffee offerings. If you're in San Juan and looking for great coffee, a charming atmosphere, and a spot that feels uniquely Puerto Rican, Café Regina is absolutely worth a visit.

At least one person has to wait inside for your name to be called as that is the system here when your food or drinks are ready. I got the avocado toast which was worth the wait. It was pretty yummy. My chai however was pretty bland and watered down.

Here is what we noticed: - You order at the counter and either take out or they bring your order to your table. We opted to eat in. They have a lot of different coffee drinks, but we had already filled up on coffee at our Airbnb so we focused on breakfast instead. - My wife and I ordered both the Breakfast Sandwich and the Burrito (Beso de desayuno) and split each. The bread on the sandwich, and the filling in the burrito were the standouts...very good! - Vibe inside is very comfortable, as there were several small round tables.

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 and I got the same sandwich, Cuatro Sombras Panini and it was delicious! A bit heavy on the garlic aioli but it gave it a lot of flavor I got and iced caramel latte, I like when I can taste the coffee more than the flavoring and it was a perfect balance. 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
