Oh man. Straight up a great breakfast place. Our waiter was SUPER friendly, the ambiance was great, and the food was superb. The wait was pretty long (about an hour), but we weren't in a rush and there was a live band to entertain us. As for the food, I had the quesadilla and the passion fruit juice, both of which were amazing. The couple bites of hash brown and avocado toast I had were also great. By the end of the meal, I was stuffed and happy. The best breakfast I've had in Puerto Rico so far. read more

The service is a little slower, but our server was really kind and helpful. Fabulous coffee and solid food- it is VERY expensive though- our breakfast was almost $80. However, I think these prices are unfortunately standard for the area. Eggs were a little oily, but overall a good choice and we even had it for takeout a day later for breakfast read more

After trying the infamous Rising Roost in Vieques, I'll always miss this food. There's always a wait, however it is SO worth it. This breakfast restaurant has such cute decor, where the owner has special pieces that were gifted to her on the walls. The coffee was so earthy and perfectly made, where it was simple but divine. The classic breakfast, although sounding basic, was absolutely delicious. I'm not sure how they made the fried eggs, but it hit the spot. The buttery toast added points to this dish. The PR bowl with spam and plantains was my favorite dish. Everything in the dish complemented each other, with a good balance of sweet and savory. The RR bowl is a good choice if you like Mexican food, where there's beans, avocado and pico de gallo. I would wait as long as possible to enjoy this brunch again. 10/10 come here! read more

Greeted with smiles from the servers to the bar tenders to the owners. It has a grandmas house appeal with some subtle modern touches. The service was excellent, just remember island time is real. Even though it was breakfast the food presentation was amazing. The bread used in the French toast was beyond incredible along with the house made syrup/maple mix. The meat in the taco was tender and packed full of delicious flavor. Coffee was incredible as well, had to order one to go. If we are so lucky as to return soon this will be our breakfast spot! read more

Rising Roost - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vieques, Puerto Rico

A FANTASTIC spot for breakfast in Vieques. We actually heard from a friend that sometimes this place has a line outside the door. Thankfully it wasn't tremendously busy when we went but I can totally see why this place is popular. I ended up getting the avocado toast with fresh squeezed OJ and it was such a delight! The art around the restaurant (both indoor and outdoor) was very cool, and the staff were all super chill. 10/10, would def go back! I'm not a big coffee person, but my friend who ordered the cafecito said it was great! She actually wanted to buy the mix of coffee they had out there she liked it so much. read more

Food and service were wonderful. David was a very attentive server! David was very pleasant and always smiling!

Great food and service. We love sitting outside where the shaded patio seating is relaxing and tranquil.

I got the tamarind juice and El Bote Marino, which was delicious. The shrimp and lobster was so fresh and the sandwich was so good. It low-key reminded me of a lobster roll. I thought the tamarind juice was a bit sweet for me but one of my dining companions loved it and drank it so fast. The service was great - they were understaffed and let us know while we were waiting that the wait would be long but the food would be good and they very much delivered. The outdoor space where we ate was also cute. I think the manager or owner also so graciously and patiently handled persistent, rude tourists who wouldn't respect that they weren't accepting any more seatings. read more

This was a cute place to stop for breakfast before starting our day. Just getting off the ferry and this restaurant was just a few blocks from the terminal. David was friendly and super accommodating. Constant water refills and they offer an area to charge your phone, the food was great and large in portions! Thank you! read more

When we arrived in Vieques a little bit earlier than our room would be ready, our guesthouse hosts recommended Rising Roost for breakfast, and it exceeded all expectations. All of the ingredients were so fresh, and it was a standout during our time on the island. We loved it so much that we went twice! Both times, I got the breakfast sandwich which blew me away. I can't say enough about how incredible the local bread was. We had to get the French toast the second time just because it was made with this bread. My friend had the shrimp bowl, and she couldn't stop raving about it. I tried both the iced coffee with condensed milk (can't remember the exact name) and an iced oat milk latte, while my friend opted for a cortadito -- all of these drinks, made with local coffee, impressed us. The water was ice cold and always filled to the brim by the friendly waitstaff. The outdoor patio was charming, and saw a mix of locals, tourists and wildlife. Rising Roost was the perfect way to start and end our trip to Vieques. If you're in search of a breakfast or brunch restaurant, you won't be disappointed! read more

We just had a wonderful breakfast here... from their sweet cream coffee to omelettes, freshly fried plantain chips, all kinds of vegetables as well as guacamole... it was hard to choose, but we loved our choices. After this breakfast, I'm happy to wait for dinner later on!! read more

This place seems very attractive for tourists visiting the island. We were intitially really excited to eat here and the menu was very enticing. Unfortunately, we waited an entire HOUR for food to come out and the waitstaff brought the wrong food to our table. The manager (who I believe is the owner) instead of being apologetic, was incredibly rude. On top of the lousy treatment the food was extremely overpriced. I would avoid this place. read more

Customer service was good by the waitress. The lobster taco terrible !! The lobster el bote marino sandwich terrible ... the lobster is chopped fine and has a weird taste not sure if there's any lobster in there . The French toast mid ... the coffee was great. The place over all was beautiful so great ambiance if you want great food this is not the place. read more

This is "the" breakfast spot in this part of vieques. Came with a friend who lives here locally and we waited ~20 min for seating. We were seated in their outside patio area, super cute and plenty of shade. The açaí bowl is deeeeelicious, I would highly recommend. Drinks were excellent as well. Staff were bilingual and very friendly! I would recommend this spot:) Wear bug spray as there are a lot of mosquitos lol. Ps. My favorite thing about this restaurant is that they feed the town kitties by leaving 4 kitty food bowls out hehe. read more

Rising Roost - Egg hash brown - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vieques, Puerto Rico

The food is amazing and the waitstaff was so sweet. We had members of our party who were gluten free and vegetarian and both found plenty of food. They sat people very slowly so if you get there after 9am there will be a slow moving line. But that did mean when you were seated your food came out quickly. Everything we had was perfect. Or order included: lechon tacos, veggie omelet, plantain board, their taco special of the day, green drinks, coffee. Highly recommend read more

Rising Roost - Lobster and PR bowl - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vieques, Puerto Rico

We came to Rising Roost after an early flight to Vieques, and loved sitting outside in the back patio. True to the name there were chickens out and about too. We had great service, our waitress was very friendly, and our food was good too. They have plenty of bar options but we didn't order anything to drink aside from coffee. We were well taken care of the entire time but food is clearly made to order and I wouldn't expect to get a quick bite here. It's a great spot to relax, so I'd recommend for an island breakfast, but not if in a rush. read more

My wife and I came here on our last morning in Vieques before returning our rental jeep. The service and food were amazing! I had the El Clasico and my wife had the french toast. The homemade hash browns were delicious! Highly recommend this spot for breakfast. Ask for David (Da-veed). He will make you feel like family. read more

The service was laughably slow. Waiting for a table I can understand but it took half an hour for our order to get taken and another hour to get our food. The food itself was okay but nothing to write home about. Overall, this place was a waste of time. read more

We stumbled upon this place by chance while in Vieques! This food was amazing. Everything felt freshly made. Every individual component treated with care and attention, down to the seasoning of the rice in my bowl and butter on my partners toast. I had some sort of rice bowl with black beans, egg, avocado and tortilla chips. It was basic, but tasty. My partner ordered a hash with bacon, eggs, and toast. She particularly loved the bread, claiming it was perfectly crispy on the edges but light in the middle. The service was attentive and kind! Would absolutely return if given the chance. Would recommend. read more

Thank you for an amazing breakfast and start to our day. The RR bowl is so good! I only ate about 1/2 the rice, and it was super filling and flavorful. The pico de gallo, guac, and cheese tasted so fresh. My partner came for the hash browns and was happy with them. He got the classic breakfast with bacon and ate every bite. Coffee was good, no free refills but I think that's an island thing. We plan to come back later this week. Do not miss Rising Roost when in Vieques. read more

I went here for takeout but in hindsight I would have ate there because of the nice ambience! The inside part of the restaurant is very open and has a patio feel, in addition to an actual outdoor eating area in the back. The food was delicious- we got the breakfast tacos, breakfast burrito w/ bacon, and guacamole which tasted house made. Everything was super yummy, flavorful, and seemed like farm-to- table. Staff was friendly and service was good as they continued to bring me water as I sat and waited for my food. When you're only on the island for a short amount of time and want to experience the best eats, it can be hard to weed out the touristy places that aren't worth it. So I'd put this place on your itinerary and don't miss it! read more

I had breakfast at Rising Roost last week on Wednesday morning. It is located on the main street of Isabel II and is easy to find with its red colored building. Your parking options are on the street only. It opens at 8 am (check days) and if you want to eat earlier just remember that you are on "island time" here. Inside they have a large and airy dining room and then outdoor dining in their back yard. Occasionally a house cat will walk through inside and I think there are a couple of roosters in the backyard. I ordered the Classic Breakfast for $10. For some reason with only 2 other diners it still took 25 minutes for my meal to arrive. It consisted of two eggs (my style), hash browns, bacon and bread. This meal was very good taste wise and filling. Table service was friendly and attentive. I recommend coming here for breakfast while visiting Vieques. read more

Hipster coffee and brunch spot right beside the vieques ferry terminal abt 5 min walk. We stopped by before our ferry back to main land. The coffee is served in ceramic ware that was a welcome change from all the paper cup vending coffee spots these days. The backyard seating area is pretty with roosters and art. We were seated promptly and served. Also took the PR bowl To go for our drive to El yunque rain dorest. Was delicious with sweet plantains and jamonilla. read more

Great service and wonderful food and great coffee! Definitely best coffee in Vieques!

This place looks great from the outside and would appear to check all the boxes you'd want in a local vacation breakfast place. But... the wait time. (I'll preface by saying that we were warned it would be longer than usual due to staffing issues). For a party of 5, with three breakfast sandwiches, a breakfast burrito and a guacamole toast, the food took about 1.5 hours. There were times looking around that no other table had food. Overall we spent over 2 hours here for breakfast. Still, once the food came it was outstanding. Like really, really good. Big portions and tasty! Home made bread, fresh ingredients. Glad we waited but if you're in any kind of hurry this is not your place. I'd add a half star to my 3 star rating (Yelp doesn't allow me to do that) and will round up to a gentlemen's 4. 5 for food and ambience and 1 for wait time. read more

The server David was very attentive, kind, and informative. The hostess was so accommodating and friendly as well. The restaurant has great drink options too. The breakfast was so phenomenal we had to come back twice. Everything is cooked to perfection and their salsa picante is well done. Honestly, this place is a must have if you are on Vieques. Personally, I believe it deserves a Michelin star. The place is clean and comfortable with a definite Caribbean vibe. read more

BEST COFFEE & BREAKFAST IN VIEQUES. I was pleasantly surprised to find "big city quality" espresso drinks in little Vieques but Jose is an excellent barista who uses good quality coffee. Opt for the fresh squeezed orange juice with your breakfast. The oranges they use are wonderfully sweet. The food is prepared well with obvious attention to detail. The friendly owners Jose & Luz are obviously foodies have created a restaurant that has elevated the Vieques breakfast scene. For the full Vieques experience try a cocktail made with Vieques orange rum. Truly special. read more
