Came here one morning with my friends and we had high expectations because of the rating, but our experience did not reflect the good reviews. First of all, the service was meh.. The servers kind of seemed like they had better things to do rather than serve us. At one point we asked someone for extra plates for sharing and he said he would get some, but then we saw him come back two or three times to help other tables without our plates and we had to ask someone else. The flavors of the food were all over the place. We wanted to try the Dominican breakfast but they were out, so we got the Puerto Rican breakfast which came with rice, tater tots, eggs, toast, and spam. The spam was EXTREMELY salty - spam is already quite salty as it is but this spam tasted like they added extra salt. The eggs were super bland. We also got the cinnamon roll pancakes which were extremely sweet, but I'll give that one a pass since it kind of implies that in the name. Maybe we just went on an off day, but my friends and I were quite disappointed with our experience here.
I went in for breakfast this morning. Upon arrival I was sat at a high top in the front portion of the restaurant. The music was playing super loud but I was by myself so I guess I had noone to talk to otherwise it might have been too much. I initially ordered the passion fruit juice and was super excited about it but informed they did not have it. I got the orange juice instead. I then had the French toast combo that came with eggs and sausage. You could have chosen bacon or ham instead. The food was good. The server was attentive but confused the heck out of me into paying cash because of some way they get paid and he adds checks together. I still don't know what he was explaining but I paid with cash instead of my card that I already had out and ready.
Came here for breakfast because we had heard great things about their French toast. Lots of variety on the menu, but we ultimately decided on the French toast combo because we wanted a little protein before our pool day. The French toast was so thick and very tasty. I loved the whipped cream on top. The yogurt bowl was good. The scrambled eggs left us disappointed though. They tasted like they were egg beaters or pre-made because they were kind of rubbery. Otherwise, it was a super filling breakfast.
Wow, wow, WOW! Everything was amazing--and absolutely delicious. I was there for four days and ended up going twice because I couldn't get enough. The first visit, I had the breakfast burrito... perfection. The second time, I tried the Dominican breakfast--OMG! The portions alone could feed three people. Both times, I ordered a latte and a strawberry margarita, and they were just as great as the food. The music was a vibe, and the staff really made the experience unforgettable--friendly, attentive, and super engaging. They were dancing, singing, even doing little tricks--it felt like dinner and a show! The place itself is adorable and perfect for pictures. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting--you won't regret it! My friends had Avacado toast, PR breakfast. and French toast. Never disappointed!
The Verdict: Delicious Food, Distracted Service Here is the quick breakdown of my experience: * Pros: The food was amazing and incredibly satisfying. You'll definitely leave full. The interior vibe is also really cool. * Cons: The music is way too loud for conversation, and the service is very slow. The staff spent more time on their phones than helping customers. Bottom Line: Come for the food, but expect a long wait and subpar service.
We had found this place on tik tok & decided to give it a try... the inside was cute & viby if you're looking for aesthetic. The service wasn't the best tho, the food did come out pretty quick & was really good! Our iced coffees were also tasty! Overall I would say give this place a try at least once :)
We went here again this morning since our other morning breakfast was good. We got here 5 minutes after they opened at 8am Tuesday morning. My husband ordered the breakfast burrito and they were out of the wraps. He got the American with sausage. I ordered French toast. They were out of ALL French toast and offered pancakes ! I ordered the American with ham. My husband asked for hot sauce - guess what? They were out of that too!! Our bread/ toast had a funny / odd taste today. Different than the other day. I wonder if they ran out of butter and used something else ? Horrible experience and how can a breakfast place open up without certain staples ? Stop at the grocery store before you open.
A popular, trendy brunch spot that absolutely lives up to the hype. We arrived when it was just a tad busy but were still seated fairly quickly, which was a great start. The music was bumping, the vibes were vibing, and the atmosphere felt fun and energetic without being overwhelming. The staff were great--friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. The food and drinks were delicious, and the menu has so many good options I honestly wish I had a bigger appetite to try them all. I started with an espresso martini and loved that they used real espresso (the only way to drink it). For an appetizer, I ordered the chicken empanada, which had great flavor and a nice little kick. For my entrée, I ordered the guava strawberry cheesecake French toast with a side of eggs and turkey--soooo good. So good. I ate every single bite. I finished with their hibiscus magic tea, which was refreshing and delicious. This is exactly the kind of place you want to be at for brunch in San Juan. Highly recommend.
Food: the food is amazing. The eggs, waffles, chicken, Dominican breakfast, eggs, and the fruits everything is so fresh and delicious. Service: my goodness the service was epic and personal. Our waiter Jesus is nothing short of amazing. The energy, attention, and personality he brings to our table is natural. He continuously engaged with use and provided his honesty in our ordering. Jesus is highly recommended when you come to this place. Ambiance: the entire place is decor for the holiday season, clean, spacious, and provide a safe space for friends or date night. Overall score 4.9/5.0
Came here for brunch on a Saturday with a group of 5. we were sat quite quickly in the back. The place is pretty large and it's packed. We ordered a variety of dishes, including chicken and waffles, chicken and French toast, the super plate and the Dominican plate. The portion size is quite large and we all were pretty full. The Dominican plate is the highlight. Their fried cheese and salami are so good and flavorful. The chicken dishes could be skipped - we expected fried chicken but it's just chicken tenders. Their French toasts and tater tots are great. Would recommend trying the breakfast plates!
Service was quick , it seemed a bit rushed but I guess better than it seeming to slow lol. Ambiance was cute it's a great location where you can walk to the beach after. Food was decent didn't need any syrup as the French toast was sweet . Chicken was decent as well. Coffee was okay nothing spectacular.
We popped in while walking around Condado looking for a good breakfast/brunch spot and were pleasantly surprised to find Christianson. Their menu had exactly what we were craving and everything we ordered was delicious! The staff were super friendly, the service was quick, and the whole experience felt easy and welcoming. We sat on the patio and loved the ambiance, with a perfect breeze, great vibes, and a relaxing start to our day. We will definitely be recommending this spot and coming back on our next trip to Puerto Rico!

If you're seeking an amazing brunch, go to Christianson and choose one of their French toast options. Just wow. I got the strawberry and guava cream cheese filled one, and completely failed at finishing it though it was amazing. Probably because I also wanted something savory and got chicken empanadas. I also highly recommend those! My boyfriend also really liked his chicken and waffles. You won't be disappointed starting your day off here! read more

I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone. I just had a worker scam me and charge himself a $20 tip that he added without me knowing. Keep in mind I left cash tip since I thought there wasn't an option for tip. Until I asked for a receipt and saw I was charged without my knowing. I would like to refunded for this, there is no way you have a scammer working for your restaurant while in a tourist area. June 5th , 2:40pm. The his name is Oscar as shown on the receipt. read more

The food itself is very good, I wouldn't say it's really Puerto Rican food as it's mostly catered towards tourists. The service is quick but not overly friendly, just a get in get out type environment. The French toast is very good however read more

Every moment we had here was 5/5. It's cozy and adorable inside. The servers were so friendly and accommodating. The food and drinks are to die for. We had brunch and it was very good. The French toast is the best I've ever had. I can't recommend this place enough. Make this a stop on your list! read more

Bottomless mimosas $35/hour with a choice of two juices. Elian's service was fantastic! Went for Mother's Day and was able to walk right in! Fabulous looking floral wall with good AC read more
I dont understand how this place is rated so high. We went here for breakfast on a Sunday. When we get there we are informed they dont have like half the items on the menu. We ordered around it. The food got there in about 5 minutes, which is kind of crazy. I got a "Dominican Breakfast" which very clearly stated on the menu that it had mangú which was the reason why i ordered it. When it gets there, there was no mangú and when i asked the waiter he said theyve never carried mangú. It was literally written on the printed menu, maybe correct it? We ordered the traditional sandwich and it was a greasy mess and also lacked flavored. The bacon was all fat and greasy and disgusting. The "tater tots" it came with were super greasy too and also had 0 flavor. We also got an omelette and that was good but again, a lot of butter. The music was good at least but this place is definitely a tourist trap. No le crean mucho a todos esos reviews, la comida está malísima y todos en la mesa estamos con indigestión y acidés. No lo recomiendo para nada, si te gusta comer, vete a otro lugar. read more

Overall the experience was very good. We were sat down immediately. The server was attentive that being Jahzeel he made sure to check in with me and my girl. The food was delicious I got the cinnamon roll French toast which was very light but had heavy flavor which allowed me to finish it all. We also got two iced lattes that were good as well. The music made me feel like I was at a Bad bunny concert which was great as well. In conclusion I'd recommend going. read more
We loved our server Denita was amazing and so bubbly! She gave us great inside to the menu as well as many recommendations. We enjoyed our meal and the space is beautiful. Not enough signage outside as we walk straight by the entrance. Our server recommended the passionfruit mimosa, and I am so glad that I got it. Great meal with great service. read more

The food was good and the service was decent. This is an instagram kind of spot of the outside and reels you in with signs and decorations but that's about where it ends. They were out of just about everything on the menu and didn't offer water so we could only order a few things. They were fine! The breakfast sandwich was a massive loaf of bread with one scrambled egg and not very flavorful. read more

Don't fall for the TikTok/social media hype around this place like we did. I did give two stars because the restaurant decor is a vibe and the only real highlight to this place. We went on a Tuesday morning so it was not busy at all. Our food came out less than 5 mins from ordering which told me immediately it was not made fresh and just hanging out in their kitchen. Taking a bite into cold food confirmed. French toast, eggs, bacon, tator tots-Nothing was freshly made for us. There is potential if food was hot and fresh but believe me when I say walk a block down to Pannes for a way better breakfast that comes out hot! We were there for a week and this was one of our least fav meals our entire trip. read more
I picked this place because it was the only place open in the morning for breakfast on a Friday. The waiting time was about 30-40 mins to walk in. The food was alright. I ordered the steak and eggs and coffee. The place was pretty packed so service was a little slow but not too bad. They had some ambience music on and it felt tourist friendly. read more
My wife and I were in Puerto Rico and this establishment was just a few blocks away, so we decided to try it on our last lunch in Puerto Rico. We entered on a Thursday about 11 AM and it was PACKED, they look small, but there is a lot of seating in back. I ordered my favorite, a Cuban. Our server was nice, but everything was very slow and they had a small beer list, so it would have been a five, but those are big things in my eyes. Cuban was huge and awesome and full of fillings and great pickle amount, as well as mustard. Another thing that brought the review down a star is that they charged us 75 cents for a side of mustard. I bought a bottle of the same stuff at the local grocery store for a buck. I wouldn't go back, but I was glad I tried and it is certainly popular! read more

I'm back, this time by myself & around 1pm on a Saturday. I ordered the cinnamon roll French toast combo. Which included my choice in eggs & meat. I opted for cinnamon roll french toast, scrambled eggs w/ mushrooms & sausage, as a recommendation of Jahzeel. OHHH MY GAAAWD, that was the best bread over ever had & I'm not exaggerating. They were so light, fluffy & perfectly balanced. I wasn't a fan of the eggs, they had a fishy taste & the sausage was typical pork pan. They did offer to replace my eggs, but I didn't need it because the french toast had all my attention. To finish I ordered a passion fruit mimosas with a shot of Pama. This place is always a stop of mine when I'm Condado. The playlist of music is always upbeat, the staff is always friendly & the food is always fresh. I do recommend making a reservation online or through an app if you have more than 2people. Ask for Jahzeel, he is fantastic!! Had great recommendations & very attentive. read more
Deceptively huge restaurant- it just keeps going in the back. We stopped in for Brunch on a Thursday and the place was pretty full. Good thing we had reservations. We sat up front so we could people watch. The portions were huge. I saw grown men leaving food on their plates so I was worried. When the food came out I understood why... Loved the Cubano and the Omelette and the smoked crab avocado half bagel. They also make a mean espresso martini-You won't be disappointed. read more
The vibe was vibing! Went here for brunch without a reservation and had to wait about 30 minutes however we were able to find seats at the bar. I ended up never receiving a text that said our table was ready but I did receive the initial text saying we were on the waiting list. Thankfully we found the available bar seats because we were hungry. The food was so good!!!! The music was on point & the staff was friendly! I would recommend having a reservation if going. Plenty of seating but seems to be the spot to go to so - take your chances if you dare lol. We parked in a nearby parking deck. I recommend walking if close enough or ubering. read more

Place is really cute! We did have about a 30-minute wait, but it was worth it. The food was amazing, and the drinks were really good too. It was a little warm inside, but honestly, you just have to roll with it and enjoy the meal. read more

Definitely worth the hype! 15 min wait for a table of 6 on a Sunday was amazing. Service was friendly and fast considering the last few days were definitely on the slower side for the places we've been. Coffee and drinks were good, my friends had a Pina colada and said it was one of the best on the trip. We all ordered food but underestimated the portion size, every order was huge. I had the million dollar bacon French toast which was good. My wife had the frenchwich- a massive french toast sandwich. All the food was beautifully played and delicious. Decor was nice, with lots of paintings and fresh paint. Very clean spot. Would return every-time. read more
Beautiful space, you do get the "bouncer" treatment at entry asking for a reservation. And although I did have a reservation on this slow Monday morning, I was still seated at the bar. This, despite the fact that there were empty tables in the Dining room and at the front overlooking the sidewalk. It's not cool being seated on a high stool when wearing a short dress, but I made it work. The bacon on the French-which was so unevenly cooked, ranging from burnt crisp break-offs to sludgy fat strips. After showing this to the bartender (right, because I'm seated at the bar, even though I'm trying to cut out the drinking) they did offer to bring out replacement bacon. They were kind and accommodating. The meal was just underwhelming in general. Tator tots were standard, boring school lunch type. Cheese was melted so hard on the French toast, it became soggy/gooey. Everything came out cool-cold (this might have been exacerbated by the high powered blower fan I was seated under - AT THE BAR!) Maybe on a Saturday, after 4 bottomless mimosas this place is more interesting. read more
