No, there are no crazy long lines going around the block waiting for fru fru coffee, but the PR will always satisfy you. From the inviting benches outside to the waft of chocolatey coffee smell as you open the front door, the PR will always be here! Counter service is pro and friendly. Whether its a dash and walk, or you linger and shop for coffee beans and teas, Porto Rico is one of those local institutions and treasures that we need to support in lieu of giving our money to coffee shops where hedge fund managers want to cash in on our daily coffee habit. The only limitation would be their hours with weekends opening later on Sat and Sun, but give them workers a break and make everyone happy.

Meanwhile, I still need GPS to find my car in a parking lot. Over 130 coffees from around the world, shelves packed with teas, spices, and enough coffee beans to keep New York awake until 2126. Also the ambiance is what a coffee shop should look like. I came in for a cup of coffee and left feeling like I just completed a history lesson, a world tour, and a caffeine-fueled life upgrade. Some guys collect watches. Some collect sneakers. Today, I collected coffee and good decisions.

FYI: prices do range on the high side because items here are artisan and not mass-produced...4 chocolates bars items totaled up to about $50ish...again this aren't any old chocolates and this ain't any old shop!

This review is based on accompanying my friend to see the TCM doctor/Clinic…read more My friend has been suffering from joint pain and pain in her fingers. She has seen another TCM doctor before but she was recommended Lin Sister. We didn't have an appointment and luckily they were not very busy. You fill out the form and they give you a number. The TCM doctor call you by that number. The clinic entrance is in the back of the shop and up one flight of stairs. We waited for about 15-20 minutes and was seen. He held her wrist and listen/feel the pulse. He asked a bunch of questions and wrote down a bunch of notes. He asked if she was sleeping good? Do you get up to use the bathroom middle of the night? Do you have headaches? Is your mouth dry? Are you pooing once a day? After 15 minutes of this, he gave her a list of Chinese herbal medicines to purchase downstairs. Told her to come back and see him in about a week or two after she is done with the meds. The modern (Americanize) TCM is now in packets and you mix them in hot water for consumption. The boiling actual herbs and ingredients in a pot days are gone! Interesting! Not sure what I make of this but what I can tell you is that my friend didn't feel any difference. I understand it's not magic potion and it takes time. A couple of months later, my friend saw a specialist and had a bunch of testing and blood work. She was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. :-( Consultation $40 Herbal Meds $8 for a set x 7 days.

The process is pretty simple: - walk in, fill out a quick medical form and highlight any particular issues you're dealing with. - pay $35 and go upstairs - wait for Dr. Frank to call your number (for me the wait was about an hour but they now allow for online appointments on certain days). - Dr. Frank takes your pulse, checks your tongue and writes a ton of things you can't understand on a piece of paper. - you take his note back downstairs and the staff at the front quickly put together your "treatment". I was given a 12 day regiment to follow and it ran me $90. Overall, I would highly recommend visiting if you're interested in TCM. I am on day 5 and I feel great. Warning- the tea does not taste good.. but not every good thing tastes good- my body will thank me later :)
