    This place is a gem. First off all the food is amazing and fresh but there is something about the bread here that is unmatched. Its soooooooooooo good!! Bakery eats are great and so are breakfast and lunch options. Be sure not to leave without trying the empanadas. The service is quick and efficient. Pro tip: Not much English is spoken here but you can get by.

    Empanadas :(
    Jasmine S.

    Came for the famous pan sabao. I remember having them when I young in NYC bodega sandwiches so I was excited to try it right from the source in PR.We heard Lemy was voted the best bakery on the island. The sabao: It was very good. I personally enjoyed it because it reminds me of Jamaican coco bread. Some may not like how sweet, dense and doughy it is. The texture is almost like it's intentionally undercooked. The empanadas: Probably the worst I've had in my life. But they're not too bad if you're starving, it's just that I am used to much better empanadas. The beef and chicken fillings were super dry and there wasn't much meat. After two bites you've gotten through the meat, and you're left to eat just the empanada crust which has no seasoning. We didn't get to try any of the beautiful pastries.

    Great place

    Best bread ever. The cuban sandwiches are amazing! If you have a sweet tooth, this is the place to go to!

    Empanada, two donuts.

    This was walking distance from our air bnb. They didn't really greet us walking in nor did they speak any English which wasn't their fault. But the empanadas were amazing, one of the donuts were hard but delicious and the other was super soft. You did need a mask to enter as well. Definitely stopping by for another empanada.

    they have 2 locations now, but I have always go to the one in levittown.

    Let me start by saying that I always get my bread here when I come for vacations. I personally order to go because It is a really busy place and I dont like eating with people standing waiting for their food, but it is worth it. My mom loves it. My husband loves their sorullitos, I dont really but my main thing is the bread. That's what I always come for. Oh! And their coffee is great too! Just to let you know: -Is in a corner and there is not too much parking spots. -There is an entrance only and an exit only doors, I like that but hate it at the same time. -When you order something simple like bread & sorullitos you are in and out but if you order something like a sandwich is gonna take a few minutes. More than I will like to wait.

    Chicken empandilla

    So nice; we had it twice! Our local friend told us about Lemy's sweet bread. The bread that somehow stays soft for days on end--I guess it's really well-known for it! It's sweet, and is very similar to King's Hawaiian bread but moister. When we met up with a local friend, he even had a few loaves for us to enjoy for the car ride. Who needs Kind bars when you can have this instead? Savory food like empandillas run out in the evening so get there earlier in the day. When we went back a second time, I had the chicken empandilla (empanada) which was pretty good, and a decent-size. Unfortunately, I tried their relleno, which I figured would be a vegetarian softball of potatoiness but I was wrong in that there was a mystery meat in it that tasted...fishy. Coffee drinkers rejoice! You can get an actual big cup of coffee here (16 oz) instead of the leprechaun serving common in PR. I find it funny that on a green lush island, every to-go beverage is served in styrofoam cups: where does all the styrofoam go?? If you don't specify how you want your coffee, it will come our Puertorrian-style, which is shots of coffee with a ton of milk. We tested that bread too. Day 2 1/2 and the bread was as soft as a baby's bum ;)

    You can sit in there , nice AC too

    Very good bakery and there are having Puerto Rican lunch there too. The cake and other bakery looked awesome, I would have board them all. You can even find fresh donuts too. Serving coffee too. If you like you can sit right there and have your coffee and cake. Beach is like 2 min in car. It's very friendly and clean.

    It is more branding than anything. Average/ good food but super long lines and takes too much time to get a coffee or a simple sandwich.

They have a parking lot for about 5-6 cars. When we walked in, I noticed the art around the walls, and read some of the quotes. The menu has a variety of items, mostly your typical mainland American breakfast like parfaits, oatmeal, waffles/pancakes, eggs, bacon, toast, avocado toast, omelettes, sandwiches, and other things. It appears they also have some lunch items. I mostly wanted a drink, and was instantly drawn to the matcha latte. I think the iced one only comes in the 12oz cup because after ordering I realized I did not specify the size and I got the bigger one. It is $1.50 more for whipped cream which is a bit steep, but it was good and also a lot of it. The color (green) was a bit lighter than what I am used to, but that allowed for it to be creamier. I am not sure if they use real matcha or a syrup that it matcha flavor but the matcha was very subtle. Nonetheless, it was very good, especially after mixing in the whipped cream. The service was really good and quick, and our waitress was very kind. They speak both English and Spanish. My friends ordered lattes, the oatmeal, the parfait, and pancakes with eggs/bacon on the side. They were all also satisfied with their food.

They originally told us 45 minutes because they were at MAX capacity. We put our names down and walked around to see what else was nearby, and no more than 10 minutes TOPS later,we got the text that our table was ready! Our waiter Mark was amazing and gave us great recommendations, especially the croquetas. 100% get the house ones instead of the regular jamón y queso!For brunch, I had the avocado toast with turkey, my S/O had the chicken sandwich,and both were SUPER delicious. The star for me was the jalapeño salsa verde--honestly one of the best salsa verdes I've ever had!The passion fruit mimosa pitcher was also great. One thing to know: the front seating near the door can get warm, but they have fans. If you really need A/C, the back seating is air-conditioned,so just ask if they can seat you there. The vibe, service, drinks and food checked all the boxes ,Definitely recommend!

We couldn't choose amongst all the empty tables, because staff were rude and dismissive. AC wasn't working, so we felt the humidity and heat. Ceiling fans weren't cutting it. We got the $25 wagyu burger and $20 Mallorca chicken sandwich, both of which were dry, bland, and underwhelming at best. The burger patty lacked flavor and there was no sauce or any accompaniments besides a very sad, wilted, thin slice of tomato and lettuce leaf. Pretty bad burger! The chicken sandwich was so heavily fried, we almost broke our teeth against the chicken. Insanely salty--we couldn't take more than a few bites. Felt so parched for the rest of the day. Fries were the best part of the meal--so salty and thin.

We made a reservation in the morning when we docked in San Juan since I read they stay busy. Atmosphere: Upon arrival, there was a short wait for 2 of us. The eatery has inside seating however with 5 full length doors to the outside it feels like an open air kinda eatery. There's a large countertop eating bar in the middle of the restaurant & an additional eating area in the back, but overall it's a pretty small dining spot. Food: Tried to make a few alterations to my dish such as scramble the omlette instead of the traditional fold it & add an over easy egg to the sandwich. They said the kitchen is very particular about the presentation of the food so no "scrambled" omelette & the over easy egg had to be on the side in case the yolk popped on the sandwich before making it to the table. Ok! Veggie omlette was really flavorful. Full of diced veggies. The avocado I added was such a nice consistency. Yes it was ripe but I think it's a different variety of avocado than we tend to get in mainland US. With the omelette plate, I substituted french toast ($6 up charge) for the regular toast. The french toast was soft & fluffy. Very good. The dish also came with a generous portion of hand cut French fries. It would have been better if they were hot but they were still good. My husband got the Cuban sandwich & added an over easy egg & said the sweet plantain on the sandwich was unexpected & really made it quite good. Pricing: Price point may be considered moderate to moderately higher, but you're on holiday and the food & ambiance are good. Breakfast was $78 before tip for 2 entrees (with add ons), 2 specialty coffees, 1 juice & $4 for unlimited filtered water. All in all, it was a heck of a lot of food, tasty, and I left very satisfied. I definitely recommend it!
