La Franchuteria

Absolutely highly recommended for breakfast - my favorite place in San Pedro! Everything is freshly prepared and served with love. The atmosphere is truly pleasant and special, making it the perfect way to start the day. Probably the best spot in the whole town.

A must-visit when in San Pedro! The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, like an oasis in the middle of the city. The food is delicious and freshly made. I went with a group of 6 women, and we ordered one of each sandwich to share... all of them were amazing! The bread is some of the best I’ve ever had. The staff was super kind and attentive. Highly recommended!

Lovely food (stellar baguettes)with a great ambience but unfortunately service was poor. I had to flag down 5 staff over 15 minutes to order - most of the time they stood at the entrance and ignored me. A few smiled and nodded to say they'd come when passing then never came. Same thing again when trying to get the bill. I could understand if they were busy clearing tables or taking orders but this wasn't the case. I'd recommend visiting but I hope the owner takes my constructive feedback to heart to make it a perfect place.

This is a nice treat if you are looking for authentic French bread and flaky croissants in the desert. They have only outdoor seating and I find the benches uncomfortable. It looks nicely setup but you can't lean back and it's quite hot outside. The coffee is tasty as well. It has a modern style with WiFi access and therefore the pricing is higher compared to other coffee shops.

Fresh baked baguettes, delicious coffees, fresh juices, scrumptious pastries and sandwiches. Nestled away in a jungle-esque style location . Seating outside amongst trees and wooden benched, very unique. Food comes on planks of wood and portion sizes are monstrous! It's quite popular, so you'll have a bit of a wait at peak times , but not too Ling 10-15 minutes. Servers are friendly and food is delivered promptly. I ate here atleast once a day for my time in San pedro de atacama. Prices are reasonable for San pedro Highly recommended

HOLY WOW What a cute outdoor area to enjoy your pastries, coffee, sandwiches, etc. I really enjoyed the calming atmosphere and openness of the place. The seating area has little trees interspersed between the tables that provide beautiful dappled light. There were options with full sun and shade when I went - space to choose from even though it is a popular spot and was “as busy as it gets.” My mom ordered a Moccachino which looked like a work of art and then we got the tiramisu and limón rica rica éclairs to share. WOW the flavor was spot on and the pastry was soft and light and filled to perfection. We saw the table next to us get one of their sandwiches on a fresh made baguette and that also looked phenomenal (definitely enough to share or eat by yourself if you’ve worked up an appetite!)

Very nice cafe with a beautiful garden. It's located a bit off the main walking street, but only a few minutes away. The bread and croissants are delicious. Just beware of the size of the sandwich - it's gigantic. ;-) The coffee is very good as well. The service is friendly and attentive. You can pay by credit card with no surcharge. Very much recommended place for a breakfast or brunch!

A perfect 10 out of 10! Highly recommended for breakfast or lunch at any time of the day. The menu is outstanding, everything is homemade and freshly prepared on the same day. I recommend visiting early for each mealtime, as all dishes are made daily in limited quantities.

Yum Yum Yum!! We stopped here three times on our 3-day adventure in San Pedro. The first time, we ordered a serano and queso sandwich (very light, refreshing and delicious), a salmon and cheese croissant (very airy), a double cortado and freshly-squeezed orange and mango juice. The other times, we stopped for snacks (various croissants), coffee and the freshly-squeezed juice (you can order a combination of orange/mango/carrot) and it is SO fresh. The "restaurant" is basically all outdoors - you either order inside at the counter to go, or you sit outside and there is table service. The tables are placed aesthetically between all of the cool trees outside, and it's just 10/10 vibes as you feel like you're eating in the forest. Overall, very fresh and tasty ingredients and great experience each time we went. Very timely and quick service too! Go here when you're visiting San Pedro de Atacama!!

Este lugar me encantó. El ambiente con los arboles es super lindo y mientras comas escuchas los sonidos de los pájaros a tu rededor. Es un poco caro pero refleja los precios de lo demás de San Pedro y la comida y bebidas son ricas. Yo tomé un latte y comí un pain au chocolat que me calentaron y fue muy rico. También comí el sándwich vegetariana y el pan era buenísima pero pusieron un poco demasiado queso de cabra y fue más dulce que salado. Servicio más o menos rápido y amable y un muy buen lugar para comer y pasar un rato tranquilo. I loved this place. The vibes are so good because you are surrounded by trees which means there are birds constantly tweeting around you. Its kind of expensive but it reflects the prices in the rest of San Pedro so can't really complain about that because the food and drinks are tasty. I had a latte and a chocolate croissant that they heated up for me and it was delicious. I also had the vegetarian sandwich and the baguette was delicious and sandwich was huge but there was a bit too much goat cheese for my liking and it was overly sweet instead of savory in my opinion. The service was fairly prompt and the servers were very kind, a great place to eat and hang out in a chill environment. The menu was available in english as well.

Franchutería, along with Emporio Andino, were our 2 favorite bakeries in San Pedro de Atacama while visiting the desert. We came here multiple times for coffee, pastries, and sandwiches. Their menu is pretty straightforward: hot and iced espresso drinks, savory and sweet croissants, and baguettes/sandwiches made with said baguettes. Many order to-go, and if you're dining in they have a partially covered outdoor area. We tried several of their croissants and found the "manjar" or dulce de leche to be the best. Their baguettes are also cheap and massive, and the smoked salmon sandwich was a very generous portion. We noticed they roast their own coffee as well. If you're driving, there is space to park right outside along the main road.

Incredible baked goods! Disfrutamos el cafe y los postres mucho. Que relajante atmósfera.

Very good coffee and quality baguettes. My friends enjoyed the sandwiches, too. The menu is kind of small--I would have preferred more breakfast options. Overall, I liked this place, but think there are probably better cafes in San Pedro.
