    Ham, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich (with housemade pesto)
    Rob M.

    It's hard to reiterate how absolutely stellar this place is, but I'll try. Although I tend to be more of an explorer than a repeater when it comes to vacation food, Spiga was too good to visit only once. We came back for coffee and pastries every morning. Though everything was delicious, the star for me is the Almond pastry. It is as pillowy soft as a cumulous cloud and perfectly sweet. One of these alone is basically worth the flight ticket. Just absolutely fantastic and a true cannot miss mouth experience.

    I made sure to stop at this famous spot before leaving San Juan, and I'm so glad I did! It's a tiny space with limited seating, and people waiting in line stand pretty close to those who are eating--but it's all part of the charm. The smell inside is incredible, and the place is clearly popular with both locals and tourists. The waitress was so sweet and welcoming. We ordered from the chalkboard menu without realizing there are even more options available if you scan the QR code--wish I had tried the egg sandwich! That said, I was still really happy with everything we ordered. We had the guava butter and almond pastry, the quiche, and coffee. Everything was outstanding. I can't wait to come back for more pastries next time I'm in town!

    Ham, brie and fig + added egg

    I inhaled the cinnamon roll with orange zest with zero inhibition, and proceeded to stare at the rest during my entire meal in order to plot the next victim (opted for chocolate chip walnut cookies to go :). Service is super friendly. There's only a handful of tables inside, and two outside, but turnover is fairly quick, and the staff keeps track of who is waiting. We had two breakfast sandwiches - mine with homemade pesto, thin slices of ham and fried eggs, and my partner had the ham, brie and homemade fig jam with added eggs. The sourdough bread was perfectly toasted and delicious. Washed down with the really tasty mocha (made with ground chocolate that sinks to the bottom and gives you that last jolt of delight at the end of the cup), it was a perfect start to the day. Highly recommend!

    I was a bit disappointed with the food. I ordered their orange cinnamon roll and didn't taste any orange. I was intrigued but the lame but it was a let down. Their sandwich (I think it's Brie) is really gross, don't order it. But the items my friends got looked great and they didn't complain.

    so good. came here twice on our trip because lattes were $3 and delicious and the buns were so good and the sandwich and eggs were so good. definitely such a busy place but it was worth the crowd

    Absolutely delicious breakfast sandwich and the perfect stop to begin our day in Old San Juan. Can't wait to return. Service was great and the place was charming.

    The buns and coffee here were great. I'm a sucker for fresh baked goods lol. Their cookies were also delicious. What kept this place from getting 5 stars was the minimal seating, and how ordering is gone about. The owner is really nice though.

    Sweet! Heart!

    The best breakfast sandwich I ever ate was here. I took a picture of it. It's the one below captioned, "The perfect breakfast sandwich." And it was perfect.

    Guava bread, latte

    The guava bread is my absolute favorite! The cookies are also really good! I love the fresh coffee. The ladies working are amazing. The decor gives old San Juan coffee shop perfectly!

    Cute little cafe! Not much sitting space, but that is the Italian way, right? I grabbed a cappuccino for the road. Staff was nice and fast. The barista pulled a perfect shot. Very great way to kick off a day of walking tours.

    Yowza! THAT was a good breakfast sandwich. And the egg scramble my wife has was huge (I had to help her out, which tired me out enough that I only ate two pastries - get the guava coconut and smile). Came back another day because, well it's fantastic. Everyone knows it, too: cross your fingers that your timing will get you a table. The staff are pros and are friendlier than I'd expect. This is a remarkable little place.

Luckily, there was a gentleman outside directing people in, otherwise we may have walked right past it. Once you climb the two flights of stairs, you're rewarded with a beautiful dining space. The restaurant has a rustic, old-world charm with gorgeous décor and an Italian-inspired atmosphere. It immediately felt warm and inviting. There were four of us dining, and we started with two appetizers: the Setas Rellenas and the Chorizo al Vino. Both were excellent, but the Chorizo al Vino was my absolute favorite--absolutely delicious! For my entrée, I ordered the chicken lasagna. I expected chunks of chicken, but it was made with shredded chicken, and wow--it was incredible. The flavor was outstanding, and it ended up being one of my favorite meals of our trip. My husband ordered the beef lasagna, which was also made with shredded beef rather than traditional ground beef. He absolutely loved it. Our friends ordered the Milanesa de Berenjena and the Milanesa de Pollo with a side of gnocchi, and both raved about their meals as well. Since nearly every table seemed to be ordering pizza, we knew we had to try one. We ordered a small pizza for the table, and each of us had a slice. Now we understand why they're known for their pizza--it was fantastic! A special shoutout to our server, Rouil Rodz, who was attentive, friendly, and provided excellent service throughout the evening. Don't let the unassuming entrance fool you. This restaurant is a hidden gem with a beautiful atmosphere, outstanding food, and excellent service. If you're visiting Old San Juan, I highly recommend adding it to your list.

My…read moreboyfriend and I arrived around 7:30pm on a busy Saturday night and were lucky enough to grab the 2 open seats at the bar because there was a wait for a table. This meant the bartender David was our server who was SO incredible. He was professional, incredibly efficient, kind, patient, gave us tips about the area, and made great dinner recommendations. He never let our water get below halfway full which I truly value too. Now onto the food - we shared the caesar salad, vodka pasta with chicken, and guavanoli. What a treat!!!! The caesar was large and fresh. The vodka sauce was more tomato based rather than loaded with heavy cream, which made it fresh and flavorful rather than super heavy which we enjoyed. Now the star of the show - the Guavanoli - a chicken stuffed crepe topped with mozzarella and guava sauce. David said tourists usually stay away from this because it sounds so different but it's the locals favorite. I can attest this has been one of our favorite meals of the entire trip, and we agreed the guavanoli was one of the most delicious yet unique entrees we've ever had. We're here for 2 more days and want to come back to get it again. The crepe wrapping essentially tastes like an enchilada, and the guava sauce is NOT too sweet. It's mixed with a red wine reduction so it has a slightly sweet edge to it, but is 1000% perfect with the dish and delicious. The prices are on the higher size but the portions are large and totally justify it. With the 2 of us, we ended up having a very decent amount of the vodka pasta as leftovers to take back to the hotel. We didn't order drinks, but David was whipping up incredible looking cocktails! They also have really cool hand-painted large portraits around the room. Beautiful restaurant, amazing staff, and even better food!!

We started with the pastelillo appetizer, they were fried to crispy golden perfection and both the beef and chicken ones were delicious. The green sauce that came with them was herbaceous perfection and we even got some more so that we can dip our pizza in. We got the pie with roasted garlic, prosciutto and pepperoni which was absolutely delicious. The pizza came out hot and fresh and all of the ingredients on it worked really well together and everything had great flavor. The little bites of whole roasted garlic cloves gives you that slightly sweet, caramelized garlicky goodness that us garlic lovers adore. The legal drinking age in Puerto Rico is 18 so my 19 year old nephew was over the moon that he was able to order himself a pomegranate margarita so it was fun to see him experience ordering his adult beverage! Overall we had a really great experience and the bartender was super friendly and helpful in all of the food and drink recommendations. Definitely add this to your next stop in Viejo San Juan.

The sauce ratio, the crust, the toppings, a true perfect blend! I know people don't travel to Puerto Rico for pizza but I had my fill of the traditional food and this pizza hit the spot! The margarita is basic, the pina colada was to be as expected, but the pomegranate mojito was extraordinary! (And really expensive! $13) Overall I really enjoyed this meal but $40 of the bill was food, $35 drinks! Next time I'll skip on the drinks or just get a beer.
