The burrito is a four. The hot chocolate too. The pancakes are three. The pancakes were really dry. It looks really fun. But it was kind of tasting more like cake then a pancake. Needed something to drown out the dryness. The burrito was really tasty. Would totally have that again. I asked about their hot chocolate and they said it was good. But it was completely average and tasted like water.
Feb 18, 2025 review: Another great cafe in Puerto Rico! There is a parking garage right in front of it. Again bunch of coffee options with 4oz, 8oz, 12oz. Pretty diverse sandwich options too- like veg panini, Panini toast, avocado toast, omelette and so on. Decent seating potions inside and outside. There is a room left with cute decor. Veg panini came with lot of avocado. Panini toast comes with 4 pieces, shareable among group. Service is fast and are able to take order in English.
We needed coffee to start our last day in PR, so a quick Yelp search brought us here. I ordered "mini" empanadas for myself, and they were actually a decent size so I was able to share them with the rest of the table. Also ordered a turkey and egg spinach breakfast burritos. Food was good, but everything was slow - slow to order and slow to come out. Coffee prices were a bit high, e.g. an iced chai latte ($7) + extra shot ($1.25) + almond milk ($1.25) = $9.50 - it's giving Starbucks prices! They also have different flavored mimosas here and we ordered a soursop and passion fruit mimosa and they were good! Would definitely come back here for the food, but I'll probably grab coffee elsewhere.
There was no wait and we were seated right away. Our server was super sweet and the food came out in about 30 minutes. the drinks were meh, the iced mocha lacked flavor and tasted like very milky coffee. the iced chai was great tho. the food was pretty good, I was excited to try the stuffed avocado and with like pork (kind of tasted like general tsao's which confused me) the bae burrito was good, nothing crazy. there were fried wonton strips? which didn't do anything for the dish, and we wished it came with fries instead. the price and wait weren't too bad, but the meal itself was okay.
The wait was just way too long after getting seated quickly. the waitress took our orders and it took over 2 hours for us to get any sort of food or even our beverage coffees. there was only 2 parties so i was not sure why it took that long. the food was okay i really liked the avacado toast. the turkey wrap was not good it was pretty bland and expensive for the price point they offer. i will not go here again it took too much of my time i cant get back C+ 4/10 coffee was okay
I really hate to be that American that contributes to the colonization of Puerto Rico, but I was lol and this restaurant caterer to exactly that type It definitely gave a very vibe. It was filled with white people working at their computers, occasional tourists, like myself and some locals. Coffee and breakfast prices weren't as inexpensive as other places in Puerto Rico could have been but nonetheless it was a pretty good spot to hit up The counter girls were super nice spoke great English although we had a couple of Spanish speakers in our group so that wasn't necessary When my party of five needed a bigger table that had one person working at it with their desk, they kindly asked her to move to a smaller table to accommodate my party Coffee was great food was better. It was a very cute shop, nestled in santurce. definitely will be back here for my next trip to PR
The weekend brunch line is no joke, but they move thru the guests quickly and with good humor. And people in the queue were friendly enough and respectful of who arrived before them. But we went two different times and weekdays was ever so much easier. First visit I got a turkey pesto panini and split patatas bravas with hubs. Second visit I learned my lesson and got a whole order of patatas bravas. Those potatoes, with the house made signature aioli, they are to die for. They came included with my southwest chicken & waffle, which had a sweet waffle with raw sugar, but savory too, with also spinach and a fried egg to go with the chicken. Either meal I'd do again, or could work my way on down the menu -- so much looks good, and seeing things come out from the kitchen, it legit looks like the menu photos look.
If you come here, I don't recommend ordering the matcha. It was not good, I ended up sending it back and exchanged it for a chai latte. When the owner or manager came in, I overheard the waitress telling her that I returned the matcha because it had no flavor. The owner's response was that "that's just how matcha tastes," and said that next time someone orders it, they should be told that matcha tastes like nothing. That's simply not true. If you're going to serve something, especially something as specific as matcha, you should know how to prepare it properly, not just add it to the menu because it's trendy. As shown in the photo, the drink wasn't even the right color for matcha. This exchange made the experience uncomfortable, especially since we could clearly hear the staff talking about us. I also felt unnecessarily guilty for returning something that clearly wasn't prepared correctly in the first place. That said, the food itself was good. I recommend the BEA burrito and the stack of pancakes. But the overall service and experience were lacking, and unfortunately, that overshadowed the quality of the meal.
It is a small local diner. The service was good and the food even better. I had ordered the Egg Ham and Cheese panini with avocado, which the waitress recommended and it did not disappoint. We had the Patatas Bravas Loaded, she was very much loaded. Was told it has cayenne pepper and could be spicy. Honestly I loved. Been wanting something spicy. Didn't even get a chance to take home before picture, looked so good we all dived in to eat them. Do check it out

Great food and coffee - I got a latte and the bae burrito, which was very filling. The fruity open waffle was great as well. Everything came out quickly and our server was very attentive and personable. I would definitely recommend this spot for a quick breakfast! read more
This brunch place was okay. The fresh juice was very sour and disappointing. The oatmeal was the only decent meal here. We loved the fresh fruits which were very good. The waffle tasted like a churro and had sugar clumps in the dough itself. I felt like I was eating sugar granules instead of a meal. The panini was okay. Nothing special. The service was very slow and inattentive. Had to remind them about our juice a few times. Otherwise location is cute. Maybe a good place to just grab coffee and go. read more
Super good service and good food. Tried the soursop mimosas and they were good. Really enjoyed the oatmeal and the pancakes. It's a ton of food! Cheesy potatoes are great. Small space but didn't get that busy. Food comes out quick. read more

$9.50 for a iced latte with one pump of vanilla is something I've never seen and I live in Beverly Hills, California. As a business owner, I know it doesn't cost more than $.60 to produce a latte. Price seems a little bit outrageous. On principle, I will get my coffee elsewhere, but the ambience inside is nice and they have a couple seats out front. read more

Huge w fresh fruit and some chocolate drizzle. Oatmeal is so good packed with fruit and yumminess. Bf also had an omelette stuffed w meat and cheese. It was so good. Chai tea latte is yummy. Iced is better. Green sauce is soooooo good. Get extra read more

This cafe is close by to the beach. I believe we went to this spot thrice while we visited San Juan. I found the customer service was great. The baristas are friendly and they speak English and Spanish. The interior is chic and sleek. There's art on the walls. It has plenty of seating inside like 10 tables, but you can also grab to go and sit outside. I love the food. I ordered the Eggs Benedict and it was heavenly. I enjoyed every bite. It arrived with a flavorful green sauce and tons of diced potatoes immersed in cheese. So yummy! I highly recommend trying this place, and it opens at 7 AM! read more

This is close by the beach, while undoubtedly convenient, is very overhyped by tourists. For a taste of authenticity, veer away from the tourist spots and opt for local haunts offering genuine experiences. The tougher was very good though, and definitely worth a try! read more

GREAT for brunch. Tiny inside, but we timed it during an unbusy time, so great food and service! Since it is December, holiday music played so helped put us in holiday spirit with it being mid-80s temps. So much food, took leftovers for another brunch. Highly recommend read more

Stopped in and got a Cordadito, so good! The line was a bit long but they kept it going. Very good espresso. I would visit again. read more
Found this little cafe down the street from where we were staying, it was walking distance which was really convenient. Pros: the distance, menu had a variety of options that all looked very tasty, it was honestly hard to choose because it all sounded delicious, coffee was also good and they had non-dairy alternatives even lactose free! Cons: we sat at the only table directly in front of the AC & the waitress was a little reluctant to move us. She also seemed bothered or overwhelmed. read more

La Coffeetera is a quaint breakfast/lunch/coffee shop on Calle McLeary in San Juan, PR. It's the perfect breakfast spot when you want a delicious and filling meal while on the go. During my stay in San Juan, I probably visited La Coffeetera at least four times. It's that good! Everything I tried on the menu was delicious, but the star, in my opinion, is the oatmeal. This is not the thick, cement-like concoction you begrudgingly eat for breakfast because it's good for you. La Coffeetera's oatmeal is the consistency of pudding with cinnamon, sugar, various fruits and granola. It's something I will never forget. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I did order an iced coffee one morning and really enjoyed it. It was smooth without a hint of bitterness. Their juices are also sweet and refreshing. The staff is super nice and helpful and I enjoyed our interactions. I really can't say enough good things about La Coffeetera! Definitely stop by if you're in the area! read more
If you are into "third wave" coffee spots, then this place is your jam! Been in PR for 10 days and to be honest, this place has the best coffee (imo) in San Juan! It's smooth and their pour is consistent. Always tasted as it should. Not a fan of the upcharge for 2% milk but I'll survive that. Truly great tasting coffee and fast and friendly staff! read more
