Once again!! Never disappointing. This is my Mallorca sandwich spot! Where sweet and salty meet. Simply the best. The staff here are wonderful. Ready to take care of your food cravings. Let's not forget about the espresso or cafe leche! The restaurant always clean and the desserts are in abundance. If you're ever in the area...GET SOME!!!!
I see why this place has hosted 2 sitting presidents... Everything I had here was amazing. The bacalao fritters were lightly crispy on the outside, chewy (like firm mashed potatoes) on the inside. So good! The strawberry cheesecake was fantastic. It was this spongy, airy crust that gave it an even more delight texture. The flaky pastry filled with guava filling was divine. The crispiness of the pastry combined with the tart sweetness of the guava... Absolute perfection. The apple, guava and cheese danish was a unique, local take on a classic breakfast pastry and it delivered in every way. Well worth a visit if you can make it here.
Local and tourist favorite, this one of the best bakeries we visited in San Juan. I love the Obama story that is posted on the wall from the time he visited Kasalta, it's so sweet. Classic Puerto Rican coffee and endless savory and sweet treats from Tres Leches, Quesitos, Sandwiches, Croquettes, etc. all fantastic. It is walk up service with cafeteria style dining- sometimes it can be a long line depending on the day/ time, but it's worth the wait.
BOMBACLATTTT!!!! First off the restaurant is poppin'. Parking is limited so hopefully you can get a spot close by! We parked in their designated parking and they have a parking security guard that helps with coming in and out. Walking into the restaurant things are set up a lil awkward. You walk all the way inside and form the line at the end of the restaurant- sometimes standing behind people eating like in my picture. Hack** you can order sandwiches at the pastery line that's located closest to the door. Big man ting. The Cuban sandwich was pretty good but my girl loved the turkey. The coffee tho ... that thang was BUSSIN' get you a damn large cup unlike my lil kids meal one. Pretty good and fair price we paid about $30 for everything
My wife and I were staying in San Juan and we decided to take an Uber out to this Yelp recommended restaurant and my friend told me to try the Tripleta. I got a local beer to was down the perfect cheese and meat and wonderful bread of this tripleta/Perfecta. I guess they had Obama even visit and they have a poster on the wall. Pretty cool. I wanted to try all their cheeses and it starts to fill up at lunchtime. Great place for a sammy and a beer!
This place was down the street from my accommodation and didn't realize how storied it was until after I had landed. Asked the cashier what her favorite sandwich was and she said the spicy steak. Very filling and the fresh orange juice was tasty, a bit pricey but I guess it's expected as the island continues to go through gentrification.
This was a great pit stop on our way to Loíza. We stopped for an afternoon snack. There's a parking lot right next to it that had plenty of empty spots at this time of the day. We tried their guava and coconut cake which was yum, and the ham, egg, cheese sandwich on Mallorca bread. The cheese in this was just incredible! The bread was certainly interesting - they sprinkle icing sugar on it... definitely worth trying if you've never had it before but not sure I'd get the bread again. The sandwich can easily be shared between two. Good portion. Also got two cappuccinos which were fairly average. There is no table service but staff are really helpful and friendly! On a side note, I thought it was interesting how there were no trash cans in the bakery (or outside). Also been told to try their guava pasteles but they had run out when we went. Next time!
Kasalta Bakery was a 2 minute drive away from my air b n b when I was in San Juan, and we visited many times during our trip. Initially, it was a recommendation from my cousin, but when we tried it, we fell in love! Each time we visited, the bakery was lively between the workers and the guests - you can tell there were many regulars and tourists, alike! From the workers, to the pastries and breakfast options, this place felt so homey and I was elated that I could ate back into my childhood when ordered these pastries and desserts. The cafe con leche was a must every morning. Their pastelito de guayaba was to die for - I wish I had 4 more! 12/10 On another day when's I visited, I tried their flan de coco. I believe - if I'm not mistaken that they had 3 flavors of flan. But the flan de coco was also a 10/10. On the days I visited, my husband and I also had breakfast sandwiches which were delicious and fresh. Kasalta Bakery is a must visit if you are in the San Juan area! You will not be disappointed!
Stopped here for breakfast around 11am on a Sunday. I was told that their pastries and food were really good. I did enjoy the empanada but the coffee was bland. I couldn't find any sugar and they don't do flavored coffee. If you want iced, please visit elsewhere or settle for hot coffee. The line was at least a 20 min wait so I grabbed a table while my boyfriend ordered for us. I would say get there early if you're looking for sancocho as they ran out early . (I mainly went for it) but settled for an empanada. The restaurant is clean in the dining area from what I could tell and the pastries were popular. You can order to go or choose to sit but you must order in line. I learned that Obama visited here years ago which was a pretty fun fact. I would definitely come again but early enough to take advantage of their soup and sandwich.
This place was a blind pick on a beach walk. The restaurant was very welcoming and the staff was kind. They try to get you to the right place by asking if you're here to dine, to order out, (soups salads,and desserts) or a la carte. This place is near the beach and convenient to get out of the heat. The staff was less attentive once I explained I wanted a la carte. We ordered the chicken breast and salad and the burger from the lunch special. The food was not picture worthy, and I mean this kindly because the staff was nice. It's important to note that it is a Spanish diner, because otherwise you expect a Puerto Rican experience and that's not what we got hahaha.
Came here during a visit to SJ. There is a parking lot with plenty of spaces. Lines aren't terribly long, but they do take the social distancing very seriously. I ordered the mallorca with ham and swiss cheese. Ended up coming with egg, but it was great! Sweet, fluffly on the outside, it contrasted nicely with the saltiness of the meat and cheese inside. Also had the cappuccino, which was good but not spectacular. Service was ok but nothing special. read more
Be prepared that the service here is pretty slow paced, so I suggest you don't go if you're in a rush! I ordered the tostada con queso, which was bread with melty cheese, really good! The rest of our group had mixed reviews about their food, but the ham and cheese tostada and the oatmeal were some of the highlights. Unfortunately, the service was a little discouraging, especially since they were making the food out of order, and only started on ours when we went up to go check on it. Overall, just okay! read more
Kasalta es de las panaderías más conocidas en SJ. Llevan abiertos desde 1987, tienen "cult following" de visitantes que frecuentan el local. Es de los locales donde la gente se sienta con el periódico a leer, quizá hablar con los vecinos, y estar un buen rato de disfrute. Recuerdo ir de camino a casa de mi tía y era de las panaderías que parábamos antes de llegar o para comer de lleno, sándwiches de panadería o a la vez recoger postres para traer de visita. Debido a la ubicación, es común ver y escuchar "mainlanders" allí comiendo y hablando. Ordené esta vez un sándwich de huevo y queso suizo, un quesito, café y media docena de quesitos para llevar (en el avión) Se demoró un chín por que estaba relativamente lleno. Esa área casi siempre anda lleno los wikenes, así que se debe anticipar un poco de espera con sándwiches. Personal atento, están limpiando el area luego de que alguien desaloja una mesa lo que mantiene el area limpia y lista para el próximo. Kasalta es un staple en el área read more

Had to locate the best chocolate cake I could find while in PR for a Birthday & ended up here. It was a bit expensive but the cake was pretty good, not the best I have ever had but definitely up there. They have a large variety to choose from & seemed to have a huge clientele. Just wish I wasn't a diabetic so I could have a tried a few things. read more

One of the best bakeries I've ever been to. Sweets are super tasteful and amazing. Melted in my mouth! read more
Kasalta is a must visit when in San Juan! It is cafeteria style with lots of pastries, sweets, sandwiches, and soups. You order at the cash register and pick up your tray once it's ready at the front counter. They have a lot to choose from for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Mallorca is a Puerto Rican speciality and is a sweet bun with powdered sugar that can be eaten plain or with meat, cheese, or eggs. The Pan de agua is also a staple and is good toasted with butter and salt. The chicken noodle soup is delicious and great to pick up for lunch or dinner when you don't want a heavy meal. The location is very convenient with a free parking lot and is just a block away from the beach. read more

Had a tripleta sandwich and was pleasantly surprised by the portion! It tasted delicious and I could tell this place is popular. I will have to come back another time to try their sweet goods. Service was good, thought the lines were kind of confusing. The left side is for sandwiches and the right is for displayed items read more
We went here for breakfast and the line was pretty long and moved pretty slow. But I'd say it's worth it, there's something for everyone here. We tried several things including, beef, chicken, and spinach empanadas, flan con queso, flan con Cinco leches, and chocolate covered strawberries. The beef empanada was great! But I wasn't too impressed with the chicken, and I absolutely fell in love with the flan con queso There's plenty of seating and it's a nice bakery with reasonable prices, I definitely recommend visiting. read more

Mallorca with Ham, cheese and eggs is where it's at. The one in the picture is my wife's, stupid me ordered it with bacon over ham. Do yourself a favor and stick to the ham it's incredibly delicious. It's a big sandwich so if you don't eat much for breakfast you could split it amongst two people. Also we really enjoyed their cappuccino, however make sure to ask for a bigger size because it is a small cup, Disfruté! read more
Kasalta is much more than a bakery located right on Ocean Park. If you are planning to go to the nicest beaches on the north or to the Old San Juan; this is a stop worth doing. Options are infinite, from sweet deserts, Spanish dishes, the typical local bread (pan sobao / pan criollo) in diverse sandwiches, and with menu a la carte for even more options including sea food dishes. Our top sandwich is the famous biftec sandwich. The quesito as desert is also our top choice. read more

Very cool and spacious bakery with endless options! There are a lot of pastries and cakes. I tried lechoncito which is an almond-flavored cookie shaped like a pig and it tasted really good. Coffee is really good too. I want to come back to try more things! read more

Google claims they open at 6am but they actually open at 7am. Got here 10 mins to 7 and people were already waiting outside. When they opened the door there was about 15 people waiting. If you want to order sandwiches you need to go all the way to the back register. And for coffee you need to go to the middle register. You wouldn't know unless you been there before. They take a while to get the food out. I ordered a Cuban and a roast beef sandwich. Took 25 mins. We also got a cappuccino and a croissant from the middle counter. It was THE BEAT CROISSANT I've ever had. I want it everyday. It was so warm and buttery and soft. It melts in your mouth. The sandwiches were extremely tasty. Would i come back? Yes I'm going back again today. Worth the money? Yes. read more

This place very busy, the food is ok, didn't like their pastries. Not fresh. The atmosphere is very nice but if you like a quieter breakfast this is not the place for you. Be ready to wait 30 min to order. read more

This place has become somewhat of a landmark after President Obama's visit and was only a 5 min walk from our Airbnb so we had to try it. There are so many sweet and savory options to choose from but unfortunately we couldn't find a menu in English and there weren't any placards describing the items on display either. Staff here is very busy so we had to use our best judgement to pick something and ended up getting the mallorca breakfast sandwiches, el pollo fajita, empanada and cappuccinos. Coffee came in a cup smaller than what I was expecting and was ok, not a fan of cinnamon in my espresso drink. The Mallorca sandwiches though were pillowy, lightly sweet and excellent. read more

We took an afternoon yoga class and stopped by this bakery right after. I got a steak sandwich and an iced coffee. For desserts, I tried one of their cheese flans and pistachio cakes. Everything was great and authentic. I was able to communicate in English with the staff while ordering. read more
