    Yummy

    Be Sure To Visit Cafe Lareno for a delicious cup of coffee and some great desserts. The drive up the mountain is absolutely breathtaking. The coffee is delicious and be sure to buy a few bags to take home. One of the favorite stops in Lares, Puerto Rico...

    A strong pocillo with a guava cheesecake. Heaven!

    A nice, typical and well made cup of coffee. That's what I found, amongst a beautiful mountain view, at Café Lareño.

    I was looking to buy roasted beans specifically from their brand. After a little uphill curvy road we got to the place, it was definitely more than we expected, mind you we had not read other reviews at this point. Employees are very welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable. The ambiance was amazing for us and the coffee we had was probably one of the best ones we had bought before. I hope this coffee shop last forever, will be coming back here every time we come back to the island. Loved it!!!

    Great coffee with a great view. Don't be deterred by the drive up the mountain because it goes through what appears to be a primarily residencial area.

    Views overlooking plantation. Great deck for sitting and sipping your coffee.

    Love this place and the coffee is AMAZING. I get this coffee shipped to me twice a month. I've tried plenty of others, but none can compare.

    A Hidden Gem That Took My Breath Away!…read more Let me tell you -- I have eaten at some incredible places around the world, but THIS spot? It's on another level! From the very first spoonful of their Asopado de Gandules (pigeon peas soup with rice), my taste buds threw a full-blown fiesta! Every bite was like a warm Caribbean hug -- rich, comforting, and bursting with flavor that only true island soul food can deliver. And then... the tostones made from pana (breadfruit). OH. MY. GOODNESS. Crispy, golden perfection on the outside, soft and savory on the inside -- it was pure magic. Whoever thought to make tostones from pana deserves a culinary crown . The service? Flawless. Friendly smiles, genuine warmth, and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like family. And the view -- breathtaking! Imagine savoring these unforgettable flavors while surrounded by tropical beauty that looks straight out of a postcard. This place isn't just a restaurant -- it's an experience. Food for the soul, joy for the heart, and a memory I'll be talking about for years.

The owner and staff are friendly and attentive. The food is incredible, fresh local ingredients and made with love. Highly recommend the rabbit and lamb dishes. And of course be sure to finish with dessert and a cup of their family grown coffee, it's amazing.

    Went by on a weekday for a tour of the coffee plantation. This was worth every moment!! We were…read moredriving from Rincon to San Juan and decided to take this detour to explore another facet of Puerto Rico. We arrived just in time for their 10am tour (call ahead and check availability, it's $20 per person). Our tour guide was fantastic! The coffee estate, the buildings, the little canal, and the stream with the waterfall they take you to are breathtaking. I would definitely come back and spend the night here. The place also works as a wedding venue (there's a chapel on site). At the end of the tour you can buy some coffee (probably some of the best cappuccino I've had on the island thus far). The tour took about 1-1.5 hours. Worth every dollar. It's so serene. Everything is constructed from natural materials. There are peacocks roaming around. The air is fresh. The water pristine. I loved it. Although the drive up the mountain is a little tricky (drivers are also a little crazy) and we did get a bit lost (GPS for some reason can't find the place), we called the hacienda and asked for directions which worked well. There are also signs along the road. Don't let this out you off though - it's all part of the adventure!

    Stopped in after doing some hiking in San Sebastián to get a sweet treat. This was a spot I'd…read moresaved as I'd seen it listed as one of the top 100 ice creams in the world for their corn flavor. We were the only group there but it did quickly fill up as we took a while to decide on what to get -- there are incredibly unique flavors that showcase the immense pride us Puerto Ricans have. I would never have expected arroz con gandules, arroz con salchicha, cilantrillo, or garlic as flavors! We were warned upon entry that it was one sample per person, which I can understand after seeing the breadth of options available. After my group of five carefully decided which samples to get (and share) I decided to go with the corn and avena (oatmeal). The corn was good but the avena was amazing. Another top that I didn't end up going with was the coquito. If I had more time in the area I honestly would have gone back to get a proper scoop of arroz con gandules because it was so perfectly executed. There are some small tables in the back with seats and there is one men's toilet as well as one women's. A little bit annoying for parking there since there is neighborhood construction and the streets are old/tight. I cannot find a complaint but I would suggest to this team to offer maybe a flight option since there are so many fun flavors that are worth trying in more than just teeny tiny bites. I'd also gladly pay $1 for two more samples or something similar. So happy I made it to Heladería Lares!

    Small space but great selection. Be aware, you can only sample one flavor so be sure to try…read moremultiple things if you're in a group! Coquito and corn are amazing!! Parking was a bit of a challenge but visiting Lares to get here is worth the trip!
