    First day in Puerto Rico, and after a long flight / morning, we just wanted a simple breakfast. We…read morestopped by this place since it was close to where we would be staying. It was dim inside, which created a cooler environment. Their menu mostly consists of breakfast sandwiches and drinks (coffees). I went with their ham and cheese sandwich. They asked me which of two breads I wanted: tostado o sobao and if I wanted mayonnaise or butter. I asked which bread is more popular and she said sobao since its more buttery and softer and I opted for the mayonnaise. After ordering, I was given a beeper, so when it went off, it meant my food was ready. We took a seat and noticed the art on the walls. After about 7-10 minutes, my food was ready. It was a pretty decent sized sandwich, cut in half. The cheese was perfectly melted and the bread was slightly toasted. The bread was soft as mentioned, and a tad bit sweet. The ham was savory and delicious. I do think the mayonnaise helped give everything more flavor. The paper they wrapped the sandwiches with was cool; it almost looked like newspaper but it wasn't. My friends ordered other versions of sandwiches and tried the empanadas and coffee - all of them were satisfied. I would highly recommend based off flavor as well as customer service. We felt at home, and one of the staff members was patient with my friend practicing her Spanish.

    We went on a Monday around 10 am for a brunch. We ordered two Cubano sandwiches, two waffles with…read morefruit & nutella, and a plate of bacon and eggs. We also had coffee, hot chocolate and milk. The Cubanos (no mayo, yes butter, mustard and pickles) were _delicious_. 5/5. They were also huge. The waffles were really great, too. Everything else was good. The place was comfortable, cosy, nicely decorated (the Yelp photos are a bit dated). The people were nice, and helpful. And the prices were average. So, all in all, a really nice impression. Definitely a good place to go.

    Local coffee roaster tucked into a beautiful old San Juan building -- high ceilings, exposed wood…read morebeams, and an arched menu board that gives the whole space a warm, artisanal feel without trying too hard. Grabbed an iced latte and an iced tea to go: the latte was smooth and well-balanced, not over-roasted like a lot of tourist-zone coffee shops nearby, and the iced tea was refreshing after walking the cobblestone streets. The menu keeps it simple -- espresso drinks, paninis (Cuatro Sombras, Yauco, Viejo San Juan), open toast with avocado & egg or salmon, and a solid breakfast lineup with guava butter toast and dulce de papaya oatmeal that lean into the Puerto Rican flavor profile. Loved seeing local sodas and juices in the fridge case alongside the usual water and La Croix. Staff moved efficiently even with a small crowd at the counter. Good spot to duck into for a quality coffee break in Old San Juan -- feels like a real local roaster rather than a chain, and the space itself is worth a look even if you're just passing through.

    Was doing some walking around Old San Juan and wanted to get coffee and a quick bite. Found this…read moreplace through Yelp and with the good reviews, had to try it out. My sister and I got the same sandwich, Cuatro Sombras Panini and it was delicious! A bit heavy on the garlic aioli but it gave it a lot of flavor I got and iced caramel latte, I like when I can taste the coffee more than the flavoring and it was a perfect balance. My sister got their iced mocha. She likes her coffee sweeter than I do but she still really liked her drink too. The reason I'm giving this place 4 stars is because all the tables were a bit dirty. It wasn't busy when we first walked in but we still had to wipe down our own table
