Hands down the best specialty coffee shop in Old San Juan! Very affordable, local business, interior is very cool but not hipster (thank God) and they have their own coffee farm. The espresso based drinks are like a symphony bring played on your tongue. I visited every day during my vacation. The staff is nice and very knowledgeable. I bought a bag of the Red Label coffee beans and I'm looking forward to make my cappucino at home! read more

Ambiance: This cafe looks really cool. Very "old world" feel. Drinks: We ordered 2 large iced mochas and 1 hazelnut latte. The total was $20.51 for 3 drinks!? That's way more than starbucks! Quality: drinks were really sweet and strong. Service: The barista was nice enough to assure we were satisfied with our drinks and offered to make it right if we weren't pleased. Overall: It's hard to tell if we were swindled on the price because the prices for drinks other than small weren't listed on the board. And $20.51 for 3 drinks is crazy! read more

Finca Cialitos - 3 large iced drinks = $20.51!! - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

Hello true coffee geeks: THIS is where you want to go in San Juan. The cafe is called Espresso Art and it's an outpost of Finca Cialitos, a nearby coffee farm--yes, not only do they roast their own beans, they GROW them. I ordered a straight shot of espresso and took my time drinking it. (While I perused Barista magazine, which they had lying out on the coffee table!) Hot, it was strong and rich, no trace of bitterness, a nice round fruitiness to it. As it cooled, it mellowed and sweetened to a beautifully balanced cup. One of the finest espresso shots I've had. And special because Puerto Rican coffee is hard to find elsewhere, since it's so much more expensive to produce, due to the U.S. labor and pay laws that, say, El Salvador never has to deal with. But I'm so glad I got to try it, because it's on par with the best. The space is bright and airy, nothing fancy. Doors wide open, a fan stirring up a pleasant breeze, comfortable upholstered chairs and couches. Best part was, the grower himself came in and I got to compliment him myself, and talk to him about Finca Cialitos and the PR coffee business (which Coca-Cola has been predatorily buying up and crushing the little guys. Boo.) All in all: a treat. read more

Simplicity at it's best! I've come in before to try their amazing coffee but today I wanted something a little more refreshing so I got the freshly made mango and strawberry smoothie. Hands down the best smoothie I've ever had. Nice and rich and exactly What I was looking for! There's no wifi so take some time to disconnect and enjoy the coffee. The service is amazing and the company even better. I love everything about this small yet generous at heart coffee shop. If you want to enjoy some tranquility in the heart of old San Juan, don't miss the chance to stop by! You will not be disappointed! read more

Owner grows & roasts their own beans! The macchiato was walked out to me and the main barista clarified what I ordered is a traditional macchiato - yes, exactly what I wanted :) Super kind hospitality, SCAA flavor wheels taped to the counter, colorful & plush chairs, proper macchiato. So thankful this coffee shop is just down the street from my AirBnB! read more

Five stars for the Mocha! I wandered in here while walking the streets of Old San Juan and was not disappointed. The building is old and beautiful and has comfy chairs to sip coffee at. The Mocha was tasty, not too sweet, and had beautiful foam. The baristas were so friendly. The gentleman who took my order had to run my credit card twice and made sure to give me receipts for both transactions just in case it showed up twice on my card. The other gentleman who made my drink was also friendly and both spoke English to me as I am not Spanish speaking. I didn't get any food this time, but was tempted to get one of the fresh looking homemade cupcakes. Next time for sure. read more

NOW THIS IS AMAZING COFFEE! move over starbucks! This cafe is simply ADORABLE and homey! The owner grows and harvests his own coffee beans...then handpicks the beans in the back! no lie! ask him to see the back room, where they hand sort the magical coffee beans. I wish Finca Cialitos was in my hometown of San Francisco! It would be a hit! Iced coffee was so delicious and frothy. My bf's espresso shot was just as good. We brought some bags of Finca Cialitos' beans back home as a souvenier. This place is a MUST in OLD SAN JUAN =] read more

Finca Cialitos - Delicious iced coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

Coffee is great and we love that it is open so early (7:30am!). Only complaints we have are: (1) no wi-fi and (2) extra fee for flavored drinks are not advertised on the board. Regarding the latter, I had to talk to the cashier if my bill was calculated correctly before finding out that there is an extra 50-cent charge for flavors. Fortunately, the lady was super nice about it and did own up to the misunderstanding. She also noted that she will be writing the extra charge on the boards to inform future customers. Other than that, the coffee was superb! read more

I was looking for good coffee in San Juan Viejo and the Yelp reviews did not let me down. The coffee was great and the service was good too. We had a latte and an iced latte. There were plenty of seats inside to enjoy your coffee or you can take it to go. For "curtains" they have burlap coffee sacks, which I thought was clever and adorable. read more

Incredible service, funky and welcoming vibes, and delicious coffee...this place is a must-go while in Old San Juan. We tried the iced latte and frozen coffee and both were very tasty and cooling on a hot day! We sat inside to cool off in the AC a bit before continuing our expiration of San Juan. read more

Must visit every time I'm in town, for the last 6 years. So glad they survived the pandemic. Make sure you try their special with frozen bananas and the coffee they grow themselves. Always treated with so much kindness, and the ship is looking so beautiful, they have really grown so beautifully. Muchaa gracias! read more

I was in San Juan for five days and came here twice for the amazing blended iced coffee made by the awesome barista, Karen. I love the cute decor and sitting by the window in the front. Spent an hour here people watching after a tiring three hours of walking through the two forts. I came here on two Tuesday afternoons and there were a few tables occupied, some people on laptops and working. This is a great cafe to rest and relax with great Puerto Rican coffee. Ask to smell the coffee grounds, they're so aromatic! read more

Coffee was good. I've had better.... Being a coffee shop owner myself - I am always looking to benchmark and optimize + grow my own business. Upon arrival, the rope situation at the door was disturbing. After sanitizing your hand and wearing your mask for the coming 15 steps (literally) - you are than asked to head to the cash registered. Additional time to review the menu would have been nice. Safety protocol need serious revision to make customers welcomed. Situation felt awkward. *** mind you - bathrooms are out of service. read more

I visited this coffee shop back in August 2018 on a family trip. What caught my attention was the blended banana-hazelnut coffee. Let me tell you it is worth a try for sure. Especially when you want to beat island sun lol It reminded me of a banana smoothie but with this kick of coffee and a sweet nutty flavor from the hazelnut. If I can have this every morning I would ! Also don't hesitate to try their homemade cookies they have some unique offerings and were delicious. read more

Cafe was good (americano, at the owners recommendation) and enjoyed speaking with the owner/roaster/farmer. Service was good, especially considering the pandemic restrictions still in place. read more

If you are in the area, definitely stop by! I'm no coffee expert but I can get by with my palate. So of course, this was a place to visit, esp when I read that he doesn't sell the coffee out. The place is quite large and there's a few spaces for sitting, two if you wanna people watch (or be watched) I got myself a black iced coffee (because it's hot af) and my friend got a cap. Iced coffee was about $5 and cap (depending on the size) about 3$ the coffee bean is 20$ and its steep for me cuz I don't buy them often but my friend said that's really good The iced coffee that I had was acidic but not strong but had a good medium bodied flavor. Not burnt in anyway and almost milky. I always try it black before I add anything to it to taste the profile but I couldn't do it after a while lol. I added sugar and soy milk (free?) and it was better. The owner is super sweet, he kept telling me that he is here to serve me to ensure that I have a good experience in his store. Very catering and sweet! He also offers cupping classes! You can't miss his store! read more

I thought I get great coffee in New York, but this coffee was SPECTACULAR. The taste in my espresso was incredibly vibrant and balanced. My partner got the house mix which was one of the best specialty coffee drinks either of us had tasted. You've gotta respect the "we'll seat you when we seat you" service. This place gets the highest recommendation. read more

What's better than walking around Old San Juan and sipping a great coffee. This place has both of those things. It is clear they take their coffee seriously and it shows in the product. Very tasty coffee, absolutely no bitterness, friendly staff and reasonable prices. read more

Went there for the frozen coffee. It was of gourmet taste. Nutty beans together with thick cream gave me the best coffee experience. Staff knows their coffee well. read more

Their iced coffee is the best in old San Juan! I usually get cold brew with almond milk and a bit of coconut flavored syrup

Literally the smoothest coffee I've ever had. Super cute inside as well. Great music on.

I visited Finca Cialitos and was extremely disappointed. We decided to go because we saw good reviews online, but the shop was tiny with very limited space - maybe enough for 4 or 5 customers at most. There was a waiting space that was roped off near the front door where customers could stand and wait until a spot opened up inside to sit. This space was extremely small and inconvenient. There was no time limit for the patrons already inside, so there was no way to know how long new customers would have to just stand and wait to get a chance to order anything. This was about a year ago and there were still COVID restrictions, but there are definitely better ways this coffee shop could have handled customers, even with limited space. The staff was also not very friendly. Overall, I would give Finca Cialitos one star. read more

Best coffee in old San Juan! Memorable even 2 years later when we returned. They also have some food and sweets

This was the best place I went the entire trip to San Juan! The coffee was truly phenomenal and all the baristas clearly love and know a lot about the coffee they brew. The coffee itself was delectable!!! I had an iced coffee that was super intense, the barista came over to me to see if I liked it, and then took it back and started over and added milk for me. I really would have preferred a coffee in between the strength of the first one and second one, but just the fact that she thought to check in and make sure it was correct made such a big impact! I wished so badly I could have brought some home, but the hurricane impacted their bean supply. If you're in Old San Juan check this place out! read more

Excellent service, grove vibe and FABULOUS rabbit turnovers! We raise rabbit so we were keen to find some on the island. This was exactly what we were hoping for. And, as is fairly common here the coffee artistry was on point. As special bonus: they grow and roast their own beans and (I suspect) produce their own rabbit. read more

Wonderful experience! We stopped here after a cruise before heading to the airport for an afternoon flight. They were so helpful with allowing us to put our suitcases in the corner. I had a soy vanilla latte and my husband had a soy mocha. The taste was so smooth and delicious! We tried a chocolate chip cookie and an almond cookie both fantastic. They also have food options. The environment was by far my favorite part. Beautiful building, great relaxing music, local feel, very clean! Will definitely be back our next time in Puerto Rico! read more
