I had limited time left during my visit to Puerto Rico and Old San Juan was a must. Starting early, I wanted to find the perfect coffee shop, and I did! Spiga was perfect. The interior was exactly what you would imagine as an old world coffee spot. The paintings on the wall and the layout of the upper level kitchen was perfect. The food was amazing. My husband and I enjoyed a relaxing morning before trekking the streets of Old San Juan. Perfect start. read more

This place is easy to miss, but it would be your loss! Spiga is the total package! Tucked in a little place off a corner in Viejo San Juan, is this gem of a restaurant. They have creatively transformed their tiny space in a fully functional kitchen, complete with a bakers loft (I assume) and a small dine-in area. The have a fantastic team and are as friendly and personable, as they are quick and efficient! The food is creative and delicious! There are a lot of great restaurants in Old San Juan, especially for breakfast and Spiga is near the top of my list! read more

I came here after reading Alicia Kennedy's recommendations on her blog. I love this place. It's slightly off the beaten path. Very quaint, neighborly, and personable. We came during breakfast and had the smoked salmon and dill scrambled eggs and then the spinach, feta, and tomato scrambled eggs. Perfect for what we needed today. They also had specials for the day and if we were here longer we would definitely try other things on the menu. read more

This place is a must in Old San Juan. All the bread and pastries are made fresh on the top level of the restaurant. That being said, I would have paid for just a plain loaf of it were an option, that is how amazing it was! Fig, prosciutto, and brie sandwich: this was my favorite we ordered. There was a good balance of all the ingredients. There was honey drizzled within the sandwich that soaked into the toasted bread and made it so delicious. I wish I could eat these every single day. Caprese sandwich: this sandwich was pretty good. The prosciutto was greatly overwhelmed by the large chick of mozzarella. I personally thought there could have been more added as well as more sauce. Italian sausage fettuccine: this was a daily special. The pasta was made fresh in the morning as was the sauce and everything else. It was absolutely a hit. The sausage complemented the simple sauce perfectly and the noodles were cooked Al dente. read more

We came to PR to celebrate our honeymoon and we ended our visit right here!! Can you say Amazing!!! We were seated immediately. The place is very small and quaint. Maybe 10 tables at the most , there is some seating outside. The service was quick, chill, and efficient. The coffee was fresh and hot!' The Rosemary Ham and Brie with fig jam was the Jam!! We were feeling adventurous so we added fried egg to our sandwiches. The staff was very chill and on point!! We loved the vibe here. This was my husband's favorite spot in PR!! Furry Babies are welcomed here. It was great talking to the owner . She was very friendly and down to earth with a winning smile!! Oh by the way since I've been home I now order Rosemary Ham from my local deli on my weekly visit!! Love it!!! read more

Omg really really good sourdough!! Highly recommend the any sandwich with pesto, mozzarella, ham or any combination of the above. We had that and smoke salmon one - not that the salmon one is not good it's delicious, but sourdough just goes so well with pesto mozzarella... We stopped here for lunch before hiking up to the castle. Small but cozy, air conditioned! They also have pasta read more

This was a cute brunch spot in OSJ right next to the Banco Popular. We came for the great reviews and will be adding to the list of 5 star reviews. The space indoors is quaint but we came around 11:30 for lunch and were seated immediately. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food isn't trying to be Puerto Rican but it's a nice place for sandwiches and salads. We got the caprese sandwhich, fig/Brie sandwhich, and spinach salad. All were made with generous portions and the bread was made behind the counter. Definitely recommend coming here for a quick bite to eat! read more

Amazing food! Great coffee. Love how fresh the food is. Locally sourced juices. Small and quaint. Sandwiches were amazing! My husband had the pasta and loved it. Friendly welcoming staff.

Spiga was an amazing treat we stumbled upon. They had two super nice baristas that made their coffee with love and care. Their ambiance was amazing and really was warm and inviting. We were there to have breakfast and they have an indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating was beautiful and plentiful. Decorated with a large number of fresh healthy plants. We ordered three of their sandwiches which were prepared fresh and were nice and warm once we received them. My son was able to play in the little court yard they had to the side. Would definitely visit again! read more

Small hole in the wall quaint place with so much to offer. In house bakery and such a warm atmosphere and people running the place. You fall for the place instantly. We ordered scrambled eggs with feta, tomato and spinach and fettuccine with a cappuccino and latte. Everything was done perfectly. Fettuccine was probably the best I have ever eaten. Feta cheese and bread were all super fresh. The dessert options are a plenty and we recommend the cookie, banana bread and dark chocolate brioche Definitely worth a visit. read more

Amazing spot for breakfast + lunch!! Make sure to keep an eye out for Katia's dog chilling outside :). Home made sourdough bread, home made pasta (lunch), and other delish baked goods. read more

A really good sandwich and equally good pastry. A great spot for lunch. Coffee was pretty good as well.

Second try was another mistake. Food is doughnut dough. Get "to go" if you need to try. The service is "wannabe fancy bougie", with plastic utensils and paper plates. (Whatever you do, DONT ASK FOR A METAL FORK) Service attitude is the same "wannabe bougie fancy" . Ambience is OK if you like feeling as though you work there. Not worth the $$$ read more

Great salads and sandwiches! We tried all of the salads and loved them. Make sure to get there early because they do sell out of bread and maybe pastries. It is a small restaurant so don't bring a group of more than 4 or expect to wait a little bit. The service was great and the owner is my new idol. Great way to celebrate women's herstory month, female owned business! read more

A cute cafe in San Juan! They serve up all the cafe vibes and hit all the marks. They're known for their sourdough bread which they make in house. The cafe is small, just around 4 tables inside and 2 tables outside. The service is a bit slow too with just one lady taking care of everything and all the pick up orders as well. Other than that we loved the vibes and the food. The sandwiches were delicious and we also tried a bakba which is made with dark chocolate and definitely satisfied my sweet tooth cravings! read more

Spiga - Inside tables and counter at Spiga - Cafes Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

I need to spend more time in San Juan, the day was not enough, and when I return, I will likely return here quite specifically. As are many places in so crowded a city, Spiga is a small spot, nestled in between other businesses on the street, but they've made good use of their space. The cafe has a pleasantly modern-but-casual feel to it, of quality without the anxiety of fanciness [though I do love fancy]. I spent a good long moment examining the brunch menu on the wall before realizing [alas] that it wasn't a brunch day, but everything on the standard menu is similarly delicious, so it's hard to be too disappointed. Ultimately , I ordered the toasted brie and fig jam sandwich, which comes on crusty, in-house sourdough bread, and a mimosa because I was on vacation. Mimosas, of course, are difficult to get wrong, and the bread elevated a flavour pairing of which I am already terribly fond to a whole new level. There's just nothing like good sourdough. Sadly, I ate alone and can offer little insight to the other offerings, but i can say that everyone else eating there that morning looked perfectly pleased with their own choices, so I doubt you can really go wrong. read more

If you like homemade baked goods, delicious sandwiches, and small local businesses, this is the place. In a world of hyper-commercialized breakfast/brunch places, it is so refreshing to find a local eatery that focuses on the quality of the food rather than fancy decorations or pricy mimosas. Here, you will find the simplest food, yet there is hardly any place across the United States where I could find better breakfast sandwiches, banana bread, or chocolate rolls. Spiga makes its sourdough from scratch and it just tastes better than all the commercially sourced garbage that is used by 99% of those "hip" brunch places. The chefs here have really perfected the art of working these seemingly simple ingredients, and that is reflected in everything they touch. The quality of the food is matched with the easygoing vibe. We came on a quiet Monday morning and was greeted by the super friendly and welcoming shop owner. We could feel the breeze coming through the open panels that is surrounded by the aroma of fresh coffee and cinnamon rolls. On the right side of wall was a painting of an old Italian comedian that was perfected by a local artist down the street. A couple of locals were sitting outside and simply living their best lives. An adorable dog wandered in and out, at one point poking his/her head above our table to greet us. It is just such a wholesome picture. We were glad and sad at the same time that this was the last meal we had in San Juan. We would make sure to visit again the next time we came to the island. It would be a shame if this place closes down, so please consider supporting local businesses like Spiga. read more

I rarely give out five stars but Spiga deserves every.single.one. It's a small restaurant, with a small menu. Everything was fresh and delicious. We tried the prosciutto Brie sandwich, primavera pasta (amazing), Caribbean cherry juice, passion fruit mimosa, and a cortado. It was all amazing but the pasta will haunt my food dreams forever. read more

Lovely urban setting filled with fresh breads and pastries. The bread is cooked on the second floor of this narrow shop. A few tables for eating at. We tried all the pastries and eggs. Should have gotten a loaf of bread to go! Great place but know going in that this is not a "Puerto Rico" experience. It's the sort of place you'd go in most college towns or cool neighborhoods across the U S. read more

My sister in law's husband recommended this place after researching breakfast stops in the area. I must say that I am very impressed. Service was spectacular. Four of us went in and checked in at the front and sat along the bar. It is a very small place, with minimal seating opportunities if it is packed. On a Monday morning at 10am, it was pretty much full and standing room only. The waitress was very pleasant and got us sitting down at the last seats in the restaurant, right by the bar. She checked up on us often to ensure our waters were filled and that we had everything we needed. Top notch service. Ambiance was also very good. When busy, it will feel packed. Fortunately for us, all seats were taken, but no others showed up to pack this place in, so it didn't feel claustrophobic. The waitress said they have been open only for 1.5 years, not too long! The color choices gave this place a rustic look with a secluded coffee shop feel, which we loved. The size of the space can make this an intimate stop when not busy, or very crowded and loud at full capacity. I expect this wonderful shop to become much busier in the future with how good it is. The food overall was good. They have a small standard fare of sandwiches and lighter bowls with excellent pricing. The coffee and drinks were also very good, with competitive pricing. Honestly, for being in Old San Juan, this place may be one of the cheapest breakfast places to experience. The food was good quality, very filling and for a reasonable price. Sandwich bread us freshly cut and toasted. The homemade pesto was very nice. Overall a very satisfying breakfast that all four of my party enjoyed. Our one knock, which is mostly a personal preference is that the sandwich bread should be cut just a tad bit thinner to maximize the ratio of filling. But I digress, this one small component isn't enough to dock a star. Overall rating is a 5/5 for excellent service, ambiance, experience and food/drink quality and pricing. It's hard to find a place in Old San Juan that provides the exceptional experience these newcomers have given us for the highly competitive pricing for their eats. For being 1.5yrs in business, don't expect this place to stay under the radar for long. I will look forward to another stop here the next time I'm in town! read more

Great hidden gem in Old San Juan! We found Spiga because of Yelp, otherwise, we might have passed right by on the street. It's a small, narrow restaurant with only a handful of tables. Most seat two to four people, tops. We squeezed three people into what would normally be a two top. Everyone was in the mood for a panini but the bread is made fresh each day and they were down to the ends by the time we ordered. Our server let us know they could do half sandwiches instead of full, which ended up being quite substantial, anyway. Perhaps it was a miscommunication, but we were given the option to add a side salad, I thought because they weren't able to do full sandwiches. Two of us decided to add on the salad. I thought it would be just a couple dollars extra but it was a little more expensive than I expected. They were out of arugula, so I asked for the Greek salad with romaine, since I don't particularly like spinach as a salad base. My salad arrived with a spinach base while my friend's arrived with tomatoes and cucumbers, which she had asked to omit. Aside from a couple communication fumbles we still had a solid experience and the food was delicious. The people at the table next to us ordered pasta which looked amazing. I don't normally think of Italian when I'm on an island in the sun, but Spiga would be an exception to that rule! read more
