Another place TikTok hyped up Service is spotty but food came out quickly. Definitely looked prettier online. I ordered a veggie omelet there was meat in it ! Pls don't get the smoked salmon omelette it's overkill! The server just left and didn't say anything! Had to chase down the damn bill ! Skip read more

A friend recommended this place to us and it looked very promising. The staff was nice, it was hard to get their attention though since we were sitting all the way in the back corner. They have soo many options for drinks, food and coffee (quite overwhelming!). The coffee options are very impressive, I ended up getting an iced lavender latte which was delish! I think we were really overwhelmed by the food options and had no idea what to order. We got some recommendations and the food was good BUT THE PORTIONS ARE HUGE!! Like if we would've known how big they were, we would have gotten just one thing and shared. It was myself and 2 other girls and we barely even made a mark in our food and we are used to big plates because we live in Texas, but oh my this was wayyy more than that! I would say if you want, go give it a try, but be mindful of how hungry you are and what you want to eat! read more

Yum. The croissant with ham, egg and cheese was amazing. It's sprinkled with powdered sugar and drizzled with honey. Like a breakfast Monte cristo. Cold caramel latte was beautiful read more

Great service, waitress helped us with their large menu. You can go to their instagram to see a lot of their food and it's helpful when deciding. I had the fried chicken BLT sandwich and it was massive. Very good but definitely shareable. I also had a latte and it was delicious. They have a good amount of seating, clean and nice design inside! I would definitely return. read more

Highly recommend having a reservation! This place was jumping jumping! Thankfully we got there a few minutes after they opened and were able to be seated at the bar once a few others left. There was about a 25 to 30 minute. Wait if we wanted a table but since we did not have that much time because we were headed to the airport, the hostess allowed us to sit at the bar once the two people that were there left because they only had one person serving the bar area, which made sense so that they did not sit too many people there! It was a great place! The staff was very friendly! The food was phenomenal. You get a lot of food so don't order too much lol needless to say I could not finish what I ordered. The waitress was awesome. She explained everything to us and recommended a few things that we ended up getting. This is definitely the spot to go to, and they even offered taking pictures of you after you're eating, which was pretty cool. read more

Needed a departure meal, On arrival the place was packed. But my party of 6 seated quickly. Some many good things to chose from . I didn't quite know what to get so the waitress suggested a meal. When my meal arrived i was overjoyed it looked and tasted delicious. Filled with steak and shrimp , avocado. I enjoyed every bite and savored the goodness of the meal. The mimosas with popsicle was delicious and different, so different I had 2 . Overall everything was delicious. read more

The egg, ham, and cheese croissant was great, more than enough for me. I might have ordered an omelette or something else but the main egg breakfasts were all made with 4 or 6 eggs, which would be more than twice what I could hope to eat, at big prices I wouldn't want to pay for breakfast. Don't get the side of home fries. Just small, cold chunks of fried potatoes--no onions, scallions, or bits of green pepper to liven them up. read more

10/10 this sandwich was the best thing I ate on the island!! I added avocado on top and it was perfect! It's a bit small so early arrival is a must or just go solo and eat the bar! Either way I will be back to try those humongous pancakes!! read more

Luckily we beat the crowd and got to our table fast. Parking is a hit or miss. The menu is extensive with a variety of food. Once we made our choices, we seen many delicious looking coffees and entrees being served. It did take a bit for our order to be ready but the place was crowded. Our server was attentive to us through the wait. Once the food came it looked amazing! Nice hot and fresh! The serving was good too! My steak was so tender and flavorful, more than I expected. The chicken sandwich came as several strips of chicken instead of one piece. Lots of cheese and the bread was good. The breakfast potatoes were crispy and hot with just enough seasoning. Everything was delicious! read more

Lucky for me I was alone & I was seated at the bar. Ordered a turtle latte... OMG ! It was rich & creamy. I also had Nutella French Toast with Almonds & fresh fruit w/ potatoes. Food was on point. read more

Lordamercy! This place is worth all the hype and then some! My friend and I came here for our final brunch while in Puerto Rico (and San Juan) last Thursday. The ratings and reviews were high so I knew I'd have to give Bistro Cafe a try. I'm so glad that I did! First of all, there may be a wait depending on what time you arrive. We had a 20 minute wait and arrived a little after 10am. By the time, our name was called, the wait outside was even more jampacked. The menu is EXTENSIVE! It's the largest breakfast/brunch menu I've seen anywhere else. Everything sounds great, which also makes it hard to choose. Our waitress was very patient, but repeatedly advised that looking at pictures is the best way to choose from the menu. I ended up getting the passionfruit (elevated) mimosa, mocha frio, and the steak and shrimp omellete with a mini fruit waffle. My friend also got the mimosa and the waffle sliders. Everything was fantastic! The drinks were good and were great for the gram. The portions of both dishes were HUGE! Everything had wonderful flavor, but I think I have to give the award to my friend's waffle sliders. They were delicious. She could only eat one. My waffle was a little dry, but still had great flavor and the fruit was very fresh. The meal was not the cheapest as our mimosas (with the popsicles inside) and my mocha frio, made my bill rather high, but I have no regrets! The meal was one of our favorites while exploring San Juan, and Puerto Rico. Do yourself a favor, and go to this place! It's well worth the bill, well worth the wait, and well worth the trip! I'll be back for sure! read more

Overall great experience. Food was great and so was the service. Popular place so I expected a wait to be seated. We ended up only waiting 45mins. Issue for me is waiting just about the same for food and for four people it not coming out all at the same time. The restaurant wasn't super busy at this point and they seemed to have slowed down seating people to catch up with the orders. Would have liked communication of that. Also parking is not easily found, but that is all of San Juan it seems. read more

The food and atmosphere were amazing! Made the mistake of going on a Sunday and the wait was long, but it was worth it. We went next door and had a coffee while we waited. The portions were large so we shared an omelette and added a waffle, which came with Nutella and fruit. The hubby and I agreed that it was the best omelette we've ever had - and we're brunch people. Everything was seasoned so well. Will definitely be returning. read more

Bistro Cafe - Mimosas with a bottle and two freshly prepared juices (watermelon and orange). Delicious! - Puerto Rican Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

Location & Atmosphere Bistro Café is one of those spots that's gone viral on TikTok--and the moment you walk in, you can see why. The place is buzzing with energy and visual drama, from its over-the-top menu items to the colorful, borderline theatrical plating. That said, the atmosphere can feel a bit overwhelming, especially for first-timers. We were seated in a far corner and didn't feel very seen or acknowledged for a while. Food & Drinks The menu is massive, which can be both exciting and confusing. Everything is highly decorated and curated for the "wow" factor--great for photos, but not always the best for flavor balance. My friend had a caramel latte topped with whipped cream that was super tasty and a colorful blueberry pancake breakfast that looked just as good as it tasted. I went with a steak sandwich, which leaned too sweet for my taste due to the honey and powdered sugar. While I understand the sweet-savory brunch concept, it threw the flavor off for me. I'd personally prefer a more classic, savory version. ‍ Service & Hospitality Service was average--not bad, but nothing memorable. Since we were seated off to the side, it took a while to get attention. They also had in-house photographers snapping pics of guests and offering prints for sale. While it's a nice souvenir option for some, it felt a little gimmicky to us, so we passed. Unique Selling Point Bistro Café is all about the visual experience: bold presentations, vibrant plates, and over-the-top brunch vibes that are definitely TikTok-worthy. While our first experience didn't fully live up to the hype, there's enough variety on the menu to warrant a return trip read more

finally got in after attempt #2. The wait is so long to get a table and to get your food. The pros: Big menu with many good choices, HUGE portions, tastes DELICIOUS,beautiful presentation. Cons: slow service, prices, and wait to get your food. Menu- deciding what to eat lol. My waitress gave a little attitude at first when we asked about coffee sizes etc. Everyone here looked stressed and unhappy. It's busy, so I cansee the stress of the job. It's next to all the tourist sites and buildings. After a few rounds, waitress lightened up and was nicer. We still tipped well. The atmosphere was ok, not very friendly hosts. But the food made up for it. To me, this is a one and done. I came,ate, and well for the price of 2 people to eat breakfast at over $50...it's a hard pass for me on next trip. But I would recommend you eat at least once as it is DELICIOUS read more

Saturday morning stop for breakfast... what a disappointment. I had expected otherwise based on the current reviews. The two stars are for the restaurant... but the server deserved 5. We ordered a simple ham egg and cheese on a croissant, which was fine, but an order of juevos rancheros was overdone with chorizo and spices... worst of all was that the meals came out at different times... nothing worse than watching someone eat while you wait for your food. It's clear that this is a popular spot... not sure why it isn't staffed accordingly. read more

Small, clean, and casual shop. The photo doesn't do it justice, but the portions were big and a good value (coming from someone who eats big). The Cuban sandwich was great and was enough for a leftover meal later on. Well staffed and helpful service. Much better value and a better experience than other breakfast/brunch spots around San Juan. read more

This place is definitely trendy, vibe. The service honestly was a 15/10. Our server was so sweet and nice. She was definitely helpful with ordering our food and ordering drinks. I really really appreciate it her. I would say that there is a bit of a hype on the food. It was very good, but not incredibly delicious. My dragon fruit margarita was a bit too sweet. I think it was a 7/10. However, the passionfruit Mojito was incredibly delicious. Definitely recommend. 10/10. I'm glad I got the croissant sandwich. It was a 7/10. I got the potatoes on the side. The potatoes can be a bit more crispy or more Sasson. I really like the portions of the dishes though. read more

Had a 30min wait around noon a Saturday. Not bad. The restaurant was really nice and safe there was a lot of tables and chairs, tables for parties, tables for two people they also have a bar section as well. I had planned on leaving five stars. But the fact of the matter is that we've been waiting for over an hour to get our food. It was a 30 minute wait which again I had said wasn't too bad. But since being seated which was over 45 minutes ago, we still do not have our food. Apparently they mixed our order up with another table. I got the blueberry margarita, it was tasty but I'm not sure how much alcohol was put in there. This cafe is delicious every plate is very big , definitely worth the price. Even the croissant Was stacked. Just that wait was awful. I ordered the pebble rancheros with steak and chorizo and it was very filling. I'm sure it was just a mixup with the tables but to have to wait an hour for food that was just a lot unfortunately. But I would still see to give this place a try . The woman assisting us, our waitress, she was great I loved her she was so helpful , she took her time to go over the menu with me since I cannot read in Spanish. She also made suggestions with his very helpful and I'm so happy with the choice I made and that's definitely a credit to her. The food was delicious everyone is leaving for unfortunately not too happy since the wait the food was very good the drinks however we're kind of a miss. I don't recommend drinks since I don't taste liquor in them but definitely recommend coming Very cute for the food! read more

Such a shame this place is catfish! The service is so slow and the food is subpar. Pros: the drinks were creative and the vibe appears very trendy. Cons: However... I think the food is aged. The eggs and pancakes made us nauseous and it just wasn't tasty whatsoever. The pancakes were ok, just very thick. The croissant was dry and thin and the egg whites were so bland. Not sure how this place has so many positive reviews, but maybe just come for drinks. read more

If I could give this review 10/10 stars I most definitely will! We came here TWICE during our week trip to PR just because it was THAT good. The decor was modern and chic. They have a little section in the front to store your luggage which of course we utilized since we had to come here right before our flight. It was the perfect plan. Let me start off with if you do not get ANY coffee on their menu, you are missing out. 10/10 for every single cup. My favorite was the cappuccino it was made to perfection every time. My meal hit the spot each visit. It was *CHEF KISS* I got the choriburger which is basically is heaven on earth. Waffle with the amazing flavor of cinnamon and the chorizo sausage... DAY DREAMING as I write this. Everyone who worked there was super sweet. I wish I remember our waiter from the last day name she was such a sweetheart and put a rush on our order. Do yourself the favor, VISIT! read more

This place is definitely worth the attention it gets. I've been to their Miami location and we were very impressed with both the food and the service. The drinks, especially the cocktails, are fun and creative. It's a very trendy spot. The Puerto Rico location is probably the smallest of their locations and it gets incredibly busy, so I recommend going early when they open or during the week (Monday through Wednesday). We tried to go on a Sunday and were told there would be a 1.5-hour wait. We went on a Tuesday around 9 am and waited 20 minutes, as quoted by the host. In Miami, I was a big fan of their blueberry mojito, coquito pancakes, and Montreal skillet. At the Isla Verde location, I tried their pistachio iced latte, gitanas pancakes (with guava and cheese), and Gaucho pancakes. The portion sizes are very generous and filling. The food was fantastic. The pancakes were a hit--sweet and tart enough that I didn't need to use the provided syrup. The iced latte was fancy and not too sweet, despite the toppings. A word of advice: check their Instagram. They are very active there, often posting their dishes and specials, so it's like a second menu. Our waitress, whose name I unfortunately don't remember, was very kind and patient with our table. She checked on us regularly and took her time to explain the dishes. The service was top-notch. There was a mistake with one dish that was supposed to be without cheese, but it was quickly corrected without much wait. I'm going to miss this place, but I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good drink and a fun breakfast or brunch. read more

I had a great experience at Bistro Café in Puerto Rico! I went on a Tuesday morning around 10:30am and they sat us down immediately. This is not the norm on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays, where the wait is very long given the popularity of the restaurant. The space was nicely lit, and it was very clean. The Nutella waffles were delicious! Honestly, the waffle on its own w/o any syrup or sauce was fantastic, you can tell the batter they use is fresh and good quality. 5 stars! The Ham, egg, and cheese croissant was a salty/sweet dish (which I enjoy dishes that mix the two options), it was delicious. They add the powder sugar on-top (maybe next time not so much), and they also drizzle some honey which I loved (I enjoy the flavor of honey). I could only finish half of the sandwich because it was very filling. 5 stars! The bowl of fruits were a nice refreshing touch given the heaviness of the main dishes, so I appreciated it! They were also very fresh and good quality. My husband enjoyed the Mocha Frap (he went with Almond milk because it is a very heavy coffee drink and he was glad that he did). I tried a sip of it and it was fine, I am not an overly sweet coffee drinker, but I can see how someone who is and likes chocolate would enjoy it. I ordered their cappuccino with Almond milk (hot), and it was awesome! Really good coffee. No photo (my apologies). Overall Bistro Cafe was a very nice experience and I will be coming back for other breakfast dish options when I am back in PR! Everyone should give this place a try! read more

Came here for brunch with my sister! We made reservations and it was only 2 of us and lucked out to be seated immediately. There was a long long outside though and I hear it can be quite the wait! I ordered a breakfast burrito with steak and a pistachio coffee and my sister ordered an omelette! My coffee wasn't so strong but the presentation was nice with whipped crème and all! My burrito was blah. The chunks of steak were too big however the burrito was HUGE! My sister enjoyed her omelette! It was smothered in cheese so you can't go wrong there. I think I may have ordered the wrong item because I saw others plates and there food looked very tasty. Portions are HUGE here. You can honestly split them if you wanted. I feel bad for leaving 3 stars but I wasn't a fan of the food too much. The staff was amazing though and I have nothing bad to say about the service! I'd visit again and try a new item! read more

Wow. This brunch was created for Instagram. Not only is everything beautiful, but also tastes fantastic! We came by 10am on a Saturday morning, and were lucky to get a table for 2. By the time we left, there was a 45 min wait, so come early, or be prepared to wait! The coffee steals the show here, there are so many amazing coffee options that are rim-coated with goodies. I got the hot peanut butter cup mocha, that had peanut butter spread around the rim with peanut butter cups stuck to it. I swear this is the best coffee I've ever tasted my entire life. I was literally licking the cup all over! My friend got the caramel cappuccino, which had a caramel coating around the rim with some sort of graham cracker crust. Again, delicious. For alcoholic beverages, we ordered the mimosas with the popsicles upside down in the cup. This was so cool! One strawberry-kiwi mimosa, with strawberries frozen inside the pop, and one mango-berry mimosa. Both were fantastic, again. And very insta-worthy. For food, I got the omelet with pulled pork, avocado, pico, and mango salsa. It was massive and delicious. I couldn't finish it was so big, needed a to-go box! My friend got the nutella waffes, which was loaded with fruit, berries, nutella, and whip cream, and the most beautiful presentation. She couldn't finish hers either, too full! Overall 5 stars for the friendly service, amazing food, picture-worthy presentations, and creative drinks. 100% recommended, as long as you're not in a hurry. The drinks and food took some time, but understandable since they were so busy and these are designer dishes. read more
