They have a nice varied menu and the food looked good. However with that said we only ordered the coffees The shop was very small and only had seating for around 10 to 15 people They were very under staffed It took 45 minutes to get our coffees Also they only take Cash. read more

I saw that they had açaí bowls and that sounded so good so we made the short walk from our hotel. I chose the biggest bowl with the most toppings. Love that scoop of peanut butter in the middle of everything. Everything was fresh. There was ample açaí. I was definitely full when I left the restaurant. You have to ring the doorbell to enter. There are plenty of tables for a small breakfast shop. Music could have been a little softer. Hard to talk which seems odd for breakfast. You order and pay at the counter and the bring food to you. They advertise smoothies but they were not available. Açaí bowls are fantastic. I got a large latte but it was served in a rather tiny cup. Not sure how their sizes work. read more

You have to see it to understand it. When I arrived at 0840 on a Monday morning the sign said OPEN, ring buzzer. LOL. OK?!? I'm glad I did because behind the door is one of the funkiest, grooviest coffee breakfast joints I've ever visited. The vibe is legit at this hole in the wall. My breakfast tacos were a 5/5 star dish, HOLLY SMOKES! My coffee was delicious! The whole place just says "welcome to my house, have breakfast". Seriously, it's one of a kind. read more

Would highly recommend this place in the area. They were so sweet. The orange juice was sweet and fresh. The tacos were so filling; the corn tortillas fell apart easily but the taste made up for it. They have a huge menu, so there is something for everyone! read more

There is NOTHING good about this place. The coffee is expensive! The food is average tasting and over priced. The service.... one hour 15 minutes for a bagel and a bowl of fruit? You have to be kidding me! I don't know why people say this place is good - there was nothing good about our experience and others waiting while we weee has nothing positive about their experience either. Avoid as there are way better options close by. read more

Very slow. After we ordered the lady kept coming back saying she was out of items. We left. read more

Definitely got ripped off here. Somehow one order of $12 breakfast tacos and two $6.50 coffees came out to $33. Payment has to be via Venmo and you don't get a receipt, of course. Don't get me wrong, I intentionally try to support local businesses, but not those that go out of their way to rip you off. If you do come here, ask them to break down the cost of your order before you pay. read more

We stayed in Miramar for a week and were repeatedly told this was a good/safe area. We never experienced anything negative, but there are of course abandoned properties right next to seemingly beautifully renovated/repaired dwellings. I say all of this...because the front door is locked and they have to let you in. Sad reality I suppose? The interior is small, but so clean, bright, and efficient. We both had huevos rancheros and they were yummy. It is counter ordering and delivered to your table. We also ordered smoothies. The hulk and the greeny (I think). Each really lacked any flavor and were more ice texture than smooth. However, no mimosas (etc) which we enjoy on the weekends. The paper plates and plasticware surprised me since the 'smoothies' were in glass. The mother of the owner and another woman were both very friendly and attentive. The sound system played great 80's hits so that was fun. They don't accept cards, just cash/venmo, etc. Overall it's a nice neighborhood place to grab a quick bite. read more

I was ripped off here as well. One order of huevos rancheros and 10 oz latte and the total came out to $25. Huevos rancheros on menu is 12.95 and 10 oz coffee is $4. Only accepts Venmo and PayPal and doesn't give you a breakdown on receipt. Food was good but I wouldn't eat here again. Scummy. read more

Rafa was so so friendly and gave us amazing recommendations! The sandwiches and coffee were delicious. We will definitely be back to try more things on the menu. Super cute spot, a must try! read more

Macchiato Coffee Shop - Iced caramel coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

The waiting time was terrible and expansive. Over an hour for one croissant with cream cheese, two sandwiches, three smoothies and two cups of coffee. At the time when I finally was called to pay, I found out that one of the sandwiches and a smoothie were missing. The place had inside no more than 5 people already eating., so it wasn't busy. The man who took the order even turned his back while I was asking for the missing sandwich. read more

Horrible service and horrible food.. beware does not accept debit cards. Beans were undercooked

Food and service were so amazing that we made this our only breakfast spot. Owner was fantastic. True Puerto Rican atmosphere. We were staying at a resort nearby but we always prefer to support local businesses. read more

Macchiato is about a 10minute walk from the convention center and is the perfect coffee shop to get a break from conferencing and have a delicious coffee and breakfast in a local spot. The staff is amazingly friendly. They were very considerate of my friend's multiple allergies and even recommended great spots that weren't already on my radar as a tourist. read more

Food and atmosphere were great! We went here before a cruise. Not much more to say but need to get to the 85 words. Thanks yelp.

During a weekend trip to San Juan, my sisters and I stumbled upon Macchiato Café Shop while walking from our hotel, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip! From the moment we walked in, Raffa and his mom made us feel like family. Their warmth and genuine hospitality were unmatched. We ended up staying for an hour, chatting with them, and they never once seemed rushed or bothered--Raffa truly loves interacting with everyone who walks through the door, which adds such a personal touch to the experience. I ordered the iced latte and avocado toast, and both were incredible! The latte was perfectly balanced, and the toast was a delightful combination of sweet and zesty flavors. I devoured it in record time! If you're in San Juan, I highly recommend stopping by Macchiato Café Shop. Whether you're looking for great food, amazing coffee, or simply a cozy spot with welcoming vibes, this place has it all. read more

Walked to this little coffee shop from my hotel in the T-Mobile convention center area. It's about a 10 minute walk. Wanted a deli sandwich for lunch and this place came up as the closest. It's nestled in a neighborhood in San Juan, and you have to be "buzzed" in. The interior is small, but very clean. I ordered the Grand Slam sandwich and an açaí bowl. Both were very good. With tip I paid about $26 for my meal which also included a Coke to drink. The only drawback was this place is Cash only and accept Venmo or PayPal. No credit cards at all, so be prepared if you plan to go! read more

The owner and staff were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. As tourists, we truly appreciated their local recommendations, which turned out to be fantastic. The customer service was excellent. I had a delicious cappuccino served in a charming mug with a sprinkle of cinnamon, along with egg toast so good that I cleaned my plate completely. & the yummy parcha juice ‍ This cozy and quaint spot is perfect for a satisfying breakfast to start your day. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

This place is amazing, truly a gem. The owner was extremely hospitable and walked through the favorites, recommendations, and answered any questions we had. We ordered Huevos Rancheros (without tomato salsa bc of an allergy) and the French Toast combo. We also ordered the house special coffee, Cafe Espectáculo (the show). Everything was fresh, flavorful and delicious. I would recommend it 10 out of 10 times. The owner also provided us with lots of things to do around the island - not just the typical tourist activities either. Definitely put this on your list for great value breakfast/brunch/cafe. read more

This place is pure gold. This review comes long over due. Back in 2022 my friend & I came upon this place while visiting Puerto Rico. We took a walk from our hotel in the Condado area to Macchiatos & upon walking In we were pleasantly surprised by the charm & ambiance of the place. It's quaint decore mixed with a rustic Bodicua charm. As cool & inviting as the ambiance it was the delicious aroma of the food that made our mouth water. The aroma of the freshly brewed coffee was equally wonderful. And of course, the breakfast did not disappoint & was the best part of this charming spot. We had the French toast & the everything Omelet. Simply delicious! The host was very inviting & made us feel welcomed. Not only did he recommend some highlights of the menu he also gave us some cool point of interests that he recommended us visiting during our stay. It was these minor touches that exceeded our expectations about Macchiatos. It's a must visit anytime I'm back in Puerto Rico. Can't recommend this delightful breakfast spot enough!! I was on a work trip to Puerto Rico this past week & I was delighted to return to my fav breakfast spot in PR. The host was still there & cool as ever - even remembered me from the last visit. Food was still delicious & it's the best highlight. read more

I am not one to write reviews for restaurants, however I feel that it's necessary to warn people of this place. They managed to miss the mark in every way. On first impression, the staff arrived late to open. The interior of the place was filthy. The coffee cold and gross. The food took 40 minutes for a few breakfast items despite being the first customers there. When the food (to go order) did arrive it was littered with hair and they forgot an açaí bowl. Please safe yourself the time and money and avoid going here. read more

#40 for 2018 Rafa is an excellent host for being the sole proprietor of this neighborhood coffee shop. He picked up we were not local offering advice and possible destinations. Just what I needed. The cafe is divded into 3 sections. The front is like an enclosed porch with some visibility to outside. People like to sit here with friends to talk. The middle section is where Rafa works. He takes your order, preps and serves the food to you. The condiment table is in the back. The third room is the dining area. It's not very big but good for a couple parties of 4. I started with the macchiatto, a small cup of caffeine. It is made the old traditional way. Rafa has mastered this that's what keeps his regulars coming back. Wish I could have one now. I wasn't really hungry after having a heavy dinner. So, I got the stuffed french toast with strawberries and cream. Rafa told me he and his friend came up with recipe for the bread. His friend guards the secret making the bread daily for the 2 of them. What makes this bread special is it is able to absorb the egg easily. So you can't let it sit long. This translates to a shorter cooking time. You could taste the egg still. I came back another morning to try the main dish. Huevos Ranchero their signature dish. Let me just say this. It was so good I ordered another one. I did. I shouldn't have. Now I was stuffed. If you're in the neighborhood, stop by, say hi, order the Huevos Rancheros and Macchiato, say hello to a good morning. read more

I came here when they first oepn and this is my 2nd time since. I cannot compare my initial experience to this visit. It was not busy. The owner is still the same one. Our order was to go. We ordered 2 sandwiches, avocado toast, 2 smoothies and a chicken taco. We got 2 avocado toast, 2 smoothies with no lids, egg tacos!?, no sandwiches. We attempted to explain this to the owner and he refused to acknowledge what we had in front of him. It was as if we were in the teilight zone. We left without the right order. We will not be back. read more

Can to San Juan on vacation and came across this place. Food was great, people were extremely friendly. Highly recommend this place!
