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
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.
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
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
$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.

Breakfast food is nice & filling. Only a few things on the menu are as aesthetic as the picture. They have a couple flavors of mimosas for like $7. It's small but you can still sit inside. It's in a busy area & only about 5-10 mins from Old San Juan. Definitely try it out! read more

The pancakes are life changing! I got a simple iced vanilla latte but it was good, I would add an extra shot if you like a more coffee taste. The atmosphere were very chill. I went on a drizzling Saturday morning and I sat outside and people watched as I ate my Nutella pancakes. The Barista John was great, he was helpful, attentive and came outside to make sure we didn't need anything! Great place! read more

Let me tell you, at first I thought this would be one of those generic touristy spots but I was pleasantly surprised! The food was great especially the fruity granola pancakes. I went twice on my trip to San Juan and got a good balance of sweet and savory. I love how everything I got was fresh and tasty! Service is good as well. Of course the coffee is a must. They have a great variety for being a small coffee shop. read more
Me and my parents came here two days in a row for brunch. The first day we got espresso, chia latte, stuffed avocado, and the pancakes. The hot chia latte was excellent. I ended up ordering it the next day instead of an espresso cause my mom's was so good the first day. The stuffed avocado was excellent especially if you like an egg based dish. The pancakes were very big and could probably feed two people. They were fluffy and large, tasted like really good buttermilk pancakes. Not a ton of syrup though so if you like a lot of topping on your pancakes I would ask for more syrup. The next day we had eggs Benedict and the egg waffle dish. The eggs be if it was okay but we all liked the pancakes and stuffed avocado better. The cheesy potatoes were just okay. Could have been crispier. The waffle with eggs was really good. Not too large either. You do have to show proof of vaccination here so make sure you have your card or a picture of it with you. read more
I liked the idea of this little cafe but didn't have a good experience here. The staff was a bit rude to me and food took forever to come out. They also got my order wrong. A local who came in several people after us got his meal to go before ours (they also got his wrong, actually). The avocado toast was okay. I ordered it 'loaded' with eggs and beef, which were far too salty. Their latte was very good, but the coffee quality seems good nearly everywhere in the city so this doesn't redeem the cafe for me. I wish I'd gone somewhere else since I only had a few days in Ocean Park. read more

Made a quick stop to get our morning coffees and loved both the cappuccino and the cortadito. PR is known for good coffee and this place didn't disappoint. Super convenient location - the beach is a block away. I didn't realize they offered food here, will return to try some next time. read more

I came around 12:30 pm on a Friday, and it was pretty empty- but it is a very small space! The workers were very kind and spoke great English, and my food came out within five minutes and it was delicious. Between 11 am and 3 pm the entire menu is open for ordering which is awesome! I love the atmosphere with the smoothing music and bright natural light. I wish they had WiFi, but I brought a book to keep me company :) I didn't see any parking- I walked from my hotel here. And not great for groups- if it's empty you could pull some tables together for 4 or 6 people but overall it's food for singles and couples. read more

Visiting from Texas and found a local breakfast place around where we were staying. This place had a relatively long wait time for the food after we ordered at 10:00am on a Tuesday. However, totally worth it. Food was AMAZING and their orange juice was also different from others! Totally recommend the "stack of pancakes"! Best ones I've had. Cheers! read more

Super cute corner cafe for brunch! Great menu selection, friendly staff and quick service. The seating area inside is very limited, but there's also a little outdoor seating area that was great, since it was breezy. The mocha was delicious! Will definitely return when I'm back in PR. read more

Find time to come here. Even if it's just to take a picture of the walls, and the decoration lol. The place is small, few tables, about 6 or so with a bar and bench outside where you can sit at. There were two servers behind the counter who were super friendly. They give you the menu, and you can either sit or order at the counter right away. We were 3, and started off with hot chocolate and an americano. Let me tell you that the hot chocolate had the abuela's flavor! It took me back to when I was a child... I honestly can not describe how good it was. For food, we ordered a stuffed avocado, and a deluxe omelette. Simply amazing. The taste was really good, the portions were great, good size to fill you up. This part of ocean park has great choices for restaurants, but this one without doubt is the best for breakfast read more

For our last meal in San Juan, we looked for a breakfast place near our Airbnb in Ocean Park. The reviews of this place were great and recommended the $15 stuffed avocado so I gave it a shot. I am usually not a picky eater but this dish came short in expectations. The avocado was not ripe, it was too firm. There was way too much salt used on the eggs, which made eating the dish unbearable. I disappointed because I didn't want to finish my meal and because it was a whopping 15 dollars for my food. The mocha coffee on the other hand was very tasty and rich in flavor. It was what I needed for a morning prior to departure. My partner got the ham, egg, and cheese sandwich. Although it's a simple sandwich in concept, the sweet glaze on the meat put this baby on the next level. The ham was succulent and juicy, the cheese melted to perfection. We saw many other people ordering this item as well. Overall, I did not enjoy the stuffed avocado but it could be that it was a dud or mistake of the kitchen. The ham, egg, and cheese sandwich was a great bargain and delicious. I would go back to this place for the coffee and the sandwich but it the avocado took some of the shine off. read more

This was the closest walking distance place from me and my boyfriends Airbnb. During our week in Puerto Rico we came here 3 times for breakfast! The staff is very friendly, and the food was amazing. The place across the street, Kasalta, was the most recommended, but we were much more impressed with this place. We recommend for anybody! Tourists or locals would love it here. Side note, the pancakes were some of the most delicious I've ever had! I ordered them twice! read more
