    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.

    This place is killer! Amazingly great selection and flavors. We've stopped at 4 other area bakeries…read moreand this is by far the best. 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.

    Sound for work stuff here for Sunday brunch. The food is absolutely delicious. I had the chicken…read moretrifungo with the mamposteao rice it was absolutely delicious. Great space very nice casual vibe open air. Our Bartender Jorge and his partner Nikki were amazing. When I'm back in Puerto Rico, I will definitely come back here. Be patient there is usually a wait to get in, but it is worth the wait.

    Popped in during a cruise ship port visit. It was maybe a 15-20 min easy walk (bit of street…read moreincline) from the Carnival Jubilee port. We made a reservation in the morning when we docked in San Juan since I read they stay busy. Atmosphere: Upon arrival, there was a short wait for 2 of us. The eatery has inside seating however with 5 full length doors to the outside it feels like an open air kinda eatery. There's a large countertop eating bar in the middle of the restaurant & an additional eating area in the back, but overall it's a pretty small dining spot. Food: Tried to make a few alterations to my dish such as scramble the omlette instead of the traditional fold it & add an over easy egg to the sandwich. They said the kitchen is very particular about the presentation of the food so no "scrambled" omelette & the over easy egg had to be on the side in case the yolk popped on the sandwich before making it to the table. Ok! Veggie omlette was really flavorful. Full of diced veggies. The avocado I added was such a nice consistency. Yes it was ripe but I think it's a different variety of avocado than we tend to get in mainland US. With the omelette plate, I substituted french toast ($6 up charge) for the regular toast. The french toast was soft & fluffy. Very good. The dish also came with a generous portion of hand cut French fries. It would have been better if they were hot but they were still good. My husband got the Cuban sandwich & added an over easy egg & said the sweet plantain on the sandwich was unexpected & really made it quite good. Pricing: Price point may be considered moderate to moderately higher, but you're on holiday and the food & ambiance are good. Breakfast was $78 before tip for 2 entrees (with add ons), 2 specialty coffees, 1 juice & $4 for unlimited filtered water. All in all, it was a heck of a lot of food, tasty, and I left very satisfied. I definitely recommend it!
