    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 :(

    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.

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.

Grabbed an iced latte and an iced tea to go: the latte was smooth and well-balanced, not over-roasted like a lot of tourist-zone coffee shops nearby, and the iced tea was refreshing after walking the cobblestone streets. The menu keeps it simple -- espresso drinks, paninis (Cuatro Sombras, Yauco, Viejo San Juan), open toast with avocado & egg or salmon, and a solid breakfast lineup with guava butter toast and dulce de papaya oatmeal that lean into the Puerto Rican flavor profile. Loved seeing local sodas and juices in the fridge case alongside the usual water and La Croix. Staff moved efficiently even with a small crowd at the counter. Good spot to duck into for a quality coffee break in Old San Juan -- feels like a real local roaster rather than a chain, and the space itself is worth a look even if you're just passing through.

My sister and I got the same sandwich, Cuatro Sombras Panini and it was delicious! A bit heavy on the garlic aioli but it gave it a lot of flavor I got and iced caramel latte, I like when I can taste the coffee more than the flavoring and it was a perfect balance. My sister got their iced mocha. She likes her coffee sweeter than I do but she still really liked her drink too. The reason I'm giving this place 4 stars is because all the tables were a bit dirty. It wasn't busy when we first walked in but we still had to wipe down our own table

    Before my trip to Puerto Rico, I've looked up a few coffee shops and Filtrado's brick alley really…read morecaught my eye. Located in Old San Juan, it's quite easy to miss. If you're on Calle San Francisco and the Coach store is to your right, keep walking till you see a yellow chemex sign on your left - that is the entrance to the coffee shop. Once you enter, it's a very tight space at the register and the alley is in the back with a few tables. The only menu I was able to peruse was that on their iPad which was annoying because I felt like I was holding up the line. I ended up ordering a small iced latte. I initially ordered it to enjoy in their alley, so I was told I can pay when I leave. I was there mid September and as much as I wanted to enjoy sipping my latte in the alley, it was super hot and stuffy. They could use some fans. Plus, it was taking forever to have the latte brought to me. As such, I went to the front to let the staff know I'll take it to go only to find him giggling with some friends. I guess that's why it took forever for me to get my drink. The latte itself wasn't bad, but considering the cost and the useless wait time, I would've gladly passed on this coffee shop.

    It was hot. We wanted coffee. My friend spotted this place on Google Maps, and the rest is history…read more I have to say, we were hesitant at first, approaching this seeming hole in the wall with no sign or anything, just a small icon that indicated it was Filtrado, but we forged onward. I'm not sure if they offered this option for all of their drinks, but at least for what we got (iced latte and matcha latte), they offer a sweetener that comes in the form of spice. Get the spiced option. I ordered the matcha latte, but the spice just brought that drink to an entirely different level. It was different but tasted very cozy. So refreshing, and exactly what I needed after a long day of walking in OSJ. The space itself is also so beautiful. At first glance it's just a hole in the wall with no seating, but when the barista leads you to the back, there's a small, extremely cute, outdoor garden where you can sit and enjoy your drinks in a cool environment. It also just feels so separate from the vibe of OSJ and was very welcome. The only disappointment was the oatmeal cookie I ordered which ended up being stale and crumbly. I was hoping it'd be more soft and memorable, especially since the barista recommended it to me. In conclusion, get the spiced matcha latte, and let yourself sit down and relax in their hidden oasis in OSJ.
