Really good cafe with quick service. As others have said, Cafetal has a bit of everything. It's…read morepart bakery, part cafeteria, sandwich shop, and coffee. All of it is very good. I really liked their coffee. This wasn't bland US-style restaurant brew Folgers coffee. It's the good stuff (and reasonably priced). I had some hot prepared food from their cafeteria area. It was good. But, the real winner is their Cuban sandwich. My son got one and it was huge. Like more than a foot long. Not only is it big, it is delicious. I would say probably the best one I've ever had (and I've had them in Miami and elsewhere). Pastries and sweets are yummy too. You won't leave here hungry. Nice little stop along the road if you're passing through the area.

Try the Guava Cheese pastry or there's one made with Ladyfingers and cream cheese. Awesome Cherry turnovers. We tried like 11 things in the 2 trips we made. All of them were great. Very friendly staff, let me practice my Español and remembered us when we came back. So sweet, asked us if we liked our Airbnb. I just wished that I had gotten pics of the inside. It is beautiful and cozy looking even though it's pretty large. They are open until 10 at night so we were able to scoot in on our way back from hiking tours and have our stuff for breakfast. Unusual for someone living stateside to see. Stop in and try them, you won't go anywhere else for your pastry.

Big fan of El Cafetal and their locations. This location was probably their second one and it's in…read morethe borderline between the town of Hatillo and Camuy. Their locations are very nice looking and modern (when compared to your usual cafeteria/bakery/coffee shop in Puerto Rico and this one is not the exception. Parking is a bit limit and traffic in this area is nothing to take lightly. However, once you are in, expect friendly and optimal service, fresh food, a variety of dishes (for breakfast and lunch) and even a mini convenience section for last-minute items that you need. Prices are reasonable and food proportions are insane. A sandwich can easily be 8 inches long and packed with whatever you selected. Coffee is sooo good, but make sure you ask for less milk (if you like café con leche), since they might give you more milk than coffee.

We came to wait out a surprise rainstorm and enjoyed a shockingly good meal. Pre-made roast chickens in the window look fairly small, but our 1/2 portion of pollo asado was absolutely satifsying: moist, meaty, flavorful. A side of mofongo -- in the form of pre-fried balls -- was softer than what we are used to, but beautifully flavored with fried pork rinds. A bacalau en ensalada was awesome, so balanced and nicely dressed. My partner raved about his side of roasted / lightly fried batatas. The wonderful woman (short haired, batman-shirt-wearing) who worked the window was so patient and kind with us (and all other customers in line). No surprise that this is so popular with locals.
