The Coffee

Where to Eat in San Juan, Where Restaurants Aren’t Just Rebuilding—They’re Thriving | Bon Appétit

"You’re gonna need to stay caffeinated to get through all this eating. Luckily, San Juan is home to a bonafide coffee boom. Island coffee crops are still in recovery, but local shops supplement local beans with mainland roasters to keep the espresso flowing. There are two main draws atCafé con Cé: cult Gustos Reserva beans and a killer patio.Café Comuniónis run by a bona fide latte art champion runs this coffee shop, so expect frothy cortados. Hit up O.G. single-origin spotDon Ruizfor perfect pour-overs with house roasted beans, then walk through Viejo San Juan toSpiga, an Italian-ish café that takes its sourdough as seriously as its espresso. End your coffee crawl atCafé Cuatro Sombras, which has been growing Arabica beans in the Yauco mountains since 1846. They’re best in cortaditos." - ByAliza Abarbanel
