"Set in a 19th-century building in the former Spanish military barracks, Café Don Ruiz, which abuts a plaza, is a great place to begin a day filled with history and culture; after all, even the drink will come from a fourth-generation coffee grower. Browse the collection of antique coffee-making tools and roasting equipment in the café, then perhaps visit the Museum of the Americas, which chronicles the history of the American continents and the Caribbean, just upstairs. The iconic El Morro fort is right across the street." - Kathleen Squires

Don Ruiz Coffee is a quiet place to relax in Cuartel de Ballajá. A number of good speciality coffee drinks in addition to typical offerings at a coffee shop. Whole beans for sale that can be ground on site according to the method you prepare your coffee.

A really cute place. The food looked and smelled amazing. I wish I could have stayed to try it. I love the look and their coffee is good but this place is super difficult to find. It is all the way inside of the courtyard of the museum and the sign is very difficult to find. There is better coffee in easier locations in old San Juan.

They have a good coffee. The place need some care, they look so dirty and messy. This place is no longer the same as it was in the beginning.

Best cup of coffee we had so far. Inside on the first floor in the American museum area. They have also public toilets in this building. And the AC was appreciated. Great barristas!

Excellent Cortado! The homemade cookies are a must try. Nice pitstop before or after the museum.

The food and service is 10/10. We had 5 sandwiches; we got them fast and it was delicious. The staff were patient and helpful while we were ordering. I would definitely recommend this small but beautiful coffee shop to anyone.

I'm not really a coffee drinker but the latte I had was pretty good and even had a iguana design which was pretty cool considering we had seen a lot of them earlier in the day. The mini cinnamon rolls were decent. The service was really good and the staff was very pleasant and helpful.
