El veggie panini es mi favorito y los bowls también son muy deliciosos. Sobre el café pues mi gusta variedad de sabores disponibles, el de banana me sorprendió. Me encanta comer aquí. Tienen variedad de comida y opciones muy saludables. También me gusta llevar mi laptop para hacer cualquier trabajo tengo pendiente (hay wifi). Hay bastantes asientos disponibles y el lugar muy cómodo. Tienen televisores en donde ponen diferentes juegos (de deportes) si te interesa. Una advertencia- precios un poco altos en mi opinión

I like that they serve potato fries mixed with sweet potato fries, you get the best of both worlds. Btw, the fries did not need any extra seasoning added either.

Our dining experience at this restaurant was frustratingly poor due to the extremely slow service…read more After being seated, it took over an hour before we were even served water, despite multiple requests. The drinks for our group were only partially completed, and bizarrely, one person received their meal before their lemonade was served. Additionally, the food itself arrived staggeringly slow, with each dish being served separately and well after a reasonable wait time. We came here as a family to celebrate Mother's Day and this put huge damper on our day and ruined our remaining plans for the day as we spent so much time waiting for our food. I also asked that no bananas come with my order as I am allergic. However there was still bananas on my plate! I regret to say that I cannot recommend visiting this restaurant, as the service was deeply lacking.

Great coffee and bread, pastries are fresh and the milk pudding with cinnamon is to die for! Clean bathroom and plenty of space with tables to sit down.

The views from this place are incredible! The decor, the plants and vegetation and the paintings were probably my favorite thing about Cafe Nativo. I wish I took more pictures ! The food was pretty good, I ordered a waffle with a side of bacon and asked for my tostada to come out before the food. The portions were small and the side of bacon only came with 2 pieces. My cousins dish is pictured, she ordered a sandwich con plátano fries. I've never had plátano fries until then and they were bomb! I asked for my own side of them with mayoketchup. They never came. My uncle ordered the hummus however none of this were pleased with it. There is one ingredient they don't include ( I think it's the tahini) so the consistency wasn't like typical hummus. I didn't give 5 stars because of the service. The service was painfully slow. I had to ask for my drink more than 3 times. We waited about 20 minutes in the heat for our check. Again having to ask different employees multiple times, it was ridiculous. Also the bathroom situation. There are 2 stalls in an outhouse type of thing. So waiting for the bathroom could mean you're waiting outside in the hot sun or in the rain. Yay!

Most of the store sells tourist trinkets which is fine, but the restaurant part is very worth it. The menu is very unclear, with limited descriptions only in Spanish. But trust the sandwiches.

All the more reason to go back again after you figure out how it works and what to expect.

Our visit to Sandra Farms was one of the most enjoyable experiences we had on the island! Our…read moreguide, Carmelo, was spectacular - he was a wealth of knowledge, and long after we left, we kept talking about what we learned there, not only about the process of growing and processing coffee, but about Puerto Rico as a whole. I honestly won't look at coffee the same way again! Even my daughter and husband who don't drink coffee agreed that the samples we tasted were quite excellent - even without cream or sugar. The setting was breathtaking, and photos just won't do it justice, though I took many in an attempt to capture it accurately. Really lovely... Do not let the commentary on the roads to Sandra Farms deter you from going. We were in a sedan and it was fine, if a little bumpy in places. However, a word to the wise regarding driving there - first, download your Google maps before you leave WiFi service, because you will definitely go offline. Signage on roads is not always present (true throughout PR), and there are some forks in the road that aren't entirely clear. Second, people who live in this mountainous area (and there are many) are used to these roads, and often - as my mother used to say - take their half out of the middle. Drive slower than you think you should. The roads are narrow and feel more like 1 and 1/2 lanes, not 2 lanes. It is rare to find a line down the middle of these roads. There are often no guardrails, and sometimes not much of a shoulder. Our family had a great time squealing and laughing as my husband braved the many hairpin turns - it is definiely do-able, but just don't try to speed your way there. We got a cute t-shirt that said we survived the road to Sandra Farms, proving that it is just as noteworthy as any other attraction! Finally, these are the most gracious hosts - we were running late, because of a wrong turn, and they were so kind and patient. They made us all feel like we were friends that hadn't been able to visit in a long time. I definitely intend to return one day, and will be supporting their coffee production from home via their website. Te quiero Sandra Farms!
