Jessica F.

Incredible service with a really kind, quick and attentive staff. This small hole in the wall diner spot is serving up big flavors! The chai latte was some of the most decadent, well blended and perfectly spiced chai I've ever had- really perked up my morning! The fluffy Nutella bigger breakfast French toast was so light and airy, each bite really pillowy. The eggs with onion and pepper and cheddar were perfectly cooked. The potatoes were so well seasoned, flavorful and crispy! I didn't expect to be so delighted by breakfast at Dulce aroma, the service was top notch and food really filling and tasty.

El mejor desayuno en Puerto Rico. Gracias la comida y los cafés fríos están muy deliciosos! Súper recomendado!

This place is amazing! The owner is so kind and made us so feel welcome even though we are clearly tourists. He gave us places to go and eat as well as places to visit and truly was so sweet, the food is beyond amazing and you can't beat the prices!! We will be back for sure this week. The restaurant itself is so cute and quaint! Thank you!

We were in the area and found Dulce Aroma with a simple Google search. The reviews were great and convinced us to check them out. We are so glad we found this place! The owner Ian was a fantastic host and server. The food was amazing and very affordable. We went with our family and he recommended some local beach spots for our toddlers to enjoy which we appreciated. The ambiance is nice and welcoming. I highly recommend the Torti Omelette. The bread had a delicious buttery crust to it. This is a must try breakfast/lunch spot if you're in the area!

The BIG Breakfast with their amazing potatoes!!

Diane B.

The picture sold me but wasn't sure what to expect when we drove up...limited parking and seats but it was busy! My husband and I had cappuccino and split their big breakfast and it was BIG! It was perfect for us to share but we did fight over the last bite of French toast. The cappuccino was really strong for my taste. Friendly staff!

Bigger breakfast (omelet, Nutella French toast) and delicious (potatoes, omelet toast)

A smaller place but service is fast. Both Spanish and English. The menu doesn't explain much but the server told us all of them before having to ask. Coffee was good and food was so tasty. Very large servings. Loved it.

We were here staying at the El Conquistador and looking for breakfast that was not over priced, left the resort and came here. The reviews were spot on and did not disappoint! As soon as we entered the owner (I assume) was extremely friendly and the food was very good and reasonably priced. We plan to come once more before leaving PR.

Bigger Breakfast (French toast, 3 eggs, turkey), Delicious Breakfast (3 eggs scrambled with ham, fried potatoes, toast).

Sabrina D.

Everything we ordered here was delicious! French toast with Nutella, eggs w/ ham, fried potatoes and toast, pasta, and coffee. My over easy eggs, cooked to perfection. Joseph, our waiter, was excellent - so friendly, funny, and helpful. Air conditioned inside, clean bathrooms, quick service.

Bacon, Egg, & Cheese in a spinach tortilla wrap.

Alan P.

Excellent food & service , and we arrived 30minutes before closing. Chose outside seating w/ family of five and everything arrived hot. Bacon egg and cheese in a spinach tortilla wrap was delicious. Yummy bowl with bacon and Everything Omelette with ham were served in large portions and delicious. Recommend a pass on the Chicken Alfredo pasta- thin sauce with little flavor.

Horrible - cubano / tripleta - they threw cabbage and tomatoes on it, the other half was basically empty

John S.

Summary: They talked crap behind my back, in Spanish, since I questioned the order and because I asked for mustard on the side lol. Positive they messed with my cubano order, since half the sandwich had barely anything on it. I was polite the whole time, and I heard them laughing and talking crap while I ate with my back was turned towards them. For tourists looking to eat here: do not bother. For the workers: be cognizant of who you think can or cannot speak Spanish. Details: I came here with my wife because we wanted coffee, and we had just picked up our rental car. We came here because of the good reviews, and we both needed a caffeine boost. We got there, and requested a latte with an extra shot of espresso. Ambiance was nice, a bit tight inside, but a bigger outside with shade. When we both ordered sandwiches, I asked what the "Tripleta / Cubano" was, because I've never heard of the Tripleta. I've had dozens of cubanos, one of my favorite sandwiches, and was just curious what the difference was. The waitress said it's pork ham, pickles, and Swiss cheese, and I asked to add mustard. No biggie. The sandwich comes out with cabbage and tomatoes (literally look at the pic lol), no pickles, no ham, and bbq guava sauce on the side. So color me confused, because there's another menu item that is a pork sandwich that comes with bbq sauce, so I'm wondering if they messed up my order. No big deal, I asked the waiter if this is a cubano, and he shrugs and says "I don't know, it kind of looks like one". I don't know what to think, and I'm starving and don't care because I love pork anyways. Fast fwd a couple minutes and they're openly talking crap behind my back in Spanish, because I questioned the order and asked for more mustard on the side. They go on saying Americans are picky and never give anything a shot. Nothing more to say. I would avoid coming here if you're a tourist, because they'll just throw something in front of you, and if you question it, they'll talk crap in front of you in Spanish.

Vivian P.

Guys for some reason Yelp directions got me lost. I called the place and one of the workers gave me great directions and literally went outside to wave me down. The food was amazing, but the service is what will make me come back 10/10 times

Coffee was on point, the food was good also.

Food was good, the coffee was better, this is what 40 dollars will buy you. Will eat here again, the sandwich was $8 dollars

Very tasty breakfast; we enjoyed the omelet wrap; potatoes with scramble; and scramble with french toast. Everything was really good. The potatoes had a really delicious taste although a little salty for my personal liking so if you dont have a taste for salt maybe stay away from those. My husband thought they were the best thing ever though and mopped the plate clean! I wasn't a huge fan of the coffee but my husband liked it so I guess it just depends on your taste. read more

The 2 favorites of mine were the conch and octopus because the chunks of meat were so ginormous! They were also flavorful and fresh! You can tell they weren't stored for a while on some shelf. They tasted like they were caught that morning. One caveat about this place is that if they run out of food, they will tell you it's about a 5-10 minute wait to make more. Not the case. It took them upwards of about 30 minutes to make it and they did not seem like they were in a rush to make it. That is a big put off. That's why this is only a 4 star review and not a 5 star. They'd make more business if they were faster.

Thank God for Dulce Aroma! I'm in the coffee business and although Puerto Rico if chock full of wonderful coffee you have to go to San Juan or ....the STATES! to find a barista that can do justice to this type of coffee! That being said, I found this shop on route to running errands in Fajardo and could not believe there was a real, gourmet coffee shop on this side of the island. Ian and his wife were and are so welcoming. The coffee way up to par,the conversation warm and stimulating, and if you have a sizeable sweet tooth like mine..well you better c'mon in. This might seem crazy but one of my favorites about this shop is that they have Agave syrup next to the honey and sugar...would love it even more if there was alternative milk (soy, almond) I know it will become available in stride though. At times they are super busy especially when school from the local college is in session but I really don't mind the wait. It's hard enough for a small specialized business to stay solvent in Fajardo that its great they are busy. Heartily recommend especially since the only other gourmet coffee place is Starbucks inside of the El Conquistador Resort, which I loathe and for which I doubt you would want to pay parking to caffeine up! You'll find it on Calle Union, on the same side of the street as the InterAmericana University, snuggled between a barber shop and Williams Pizza. Parking on the store front is limited but you can park across the shop on the street. read more

Coffee was spectacular and the plates even better. The madame was an adventurous dish but I am so happy I gave it a shot. Def blew my expectations. The bread and bechamel were delicious.

First, the A/C wasn't working, which is a brutal setup for a summer day. To make matters worse, the live music integration needs a rethink. While a saxophone and piano duo sounds like a lovely idea on paper, this space is just too small for it. The musicians are positioned way too close to the tables. The volume was so intense that we couldn't hold a conversation or even enjoy our food. I actually left with a headache and my ears trembling. Luckily, the musicians took a break toward the end, which finally gave us some temporary relief. I'd love to come back for the food, but only after they fix the air conditioning and dial back the decibels.

The menu had great options between "The Healthy Choice breakfast" which I had - to cheesecake filled French toast. Our servers were friendly and service was quick. They also have many different coffees you can order and their website has a photo of how each is prepared - I've never seen this before and thought this was super cool! On my trip, I actually visited for breakfast twice because my family loved it so much!

She told me to pick a table and pointed to an area. So I picked one by the window. She said with attitude "no, obviously not a big table" no, its not obvious because you were not busy and there were so many empty tables. I ordered an egg omelet with fried veggies and ham. The egg was fried thin, not fluffy. Veggies were weird, it had tomato. I'm use to onion and bell peppers. latte was mid. I do not recommend.

Surprisingly, I found this place to be more affordable than most places around San Juan. Service was mid, nice-- but Minnesota nice if you know what I mean. We still enjoyed it, the vibes were just interesting? They also don't have ketchup. They charge for hot sauce but don't inform you prior. It's also very spicy green salsa. Overall, I enjoyed my toast and cup of coffee. Cool place.

The food was served on paper plates with disposable utensils, which was disappointing since the photos on their page suggested glass plates and silverware. The hummus was overly oily, and the bread was toasted more than we would have liked. We also ordered the smoked salmon omelet, but the salmon was mixed inside the omelet instead of being served on top as expected. The service was average. Our server was polite, but she didn't check on our table after bringing the food, so I had to get her attention when we needed something. I would give the restaurant another chance because the atmosphere was enjoyable, but improving the presentation, food execution, and attentiveness of the service would make for a much better experience.

The guava adds a sweet, slightly tangy flavor that stands out without being too much. You actually taste everything. Nothing feels heavy or overdone. Get a cappuccino too. It's smooth, rich, and balanced. It pairs perfectly with the waffles and wakes you up the right way. You'll notice the vibe right away. It's relaxed and easy. You can sit, eat, and take your time. Simple Food does the basics really well. That's why it works. I'd go back without thinking twice.

The menu looked good and perhaps other items are good, but unfortunately my meal was underwhelming…read more Fried cod was dripping with oil, soggy, and filled mostly with cheese.
