Sobao Bakery & Restaurant

Service was good tho cashier at Condado forgot to give a table # but overall is really good. We had the mimosas $10ea. The coffee problem is that it's more milk than coffee, talking with friends they mentioned that even in other Sobao's restaurants is happenjng the same, a big no no for a Puertorrican taste. Oatmeal & toast good. There is a pkg across the street in Condado (paying) and at Isla Verde they validate your ticket still have to pay for parking since is at Hotel location, which is not bad.

Sobao was bustling on a Monday afternoon. We saw the mallorcas recommended in the NYT, so we got some mallorcas with butter and some freshly squeezed orange juice. The juice was nice -- fresh and full flavor. I wasn't a big fan of the mallorcas (I have been ruined by Cafeteria Mallorca), as they just tasted like bread and I couldn't taste much butter or powdered sugar. This might be the authentic taste, though!

The cafe was lovely and I really liked the decor—it has a great Mediterranean flair.❤️ The cheesecake and pastry were okay, but they weren't special enough to make me come back specifically for the food. 🍰🥐

I'll give this place a 5 because the coffee is so darn good and it's ran like a well oiled machine. No matter how full this place gets, you get your ordered in a reasonable time and it has always been correct. The sandwiches are so good!!! We have visited Sobao a couple of times and it's always been so pleasant. The decor is welcoming and the staff are so nice. They even have a great patio to enjoy your breakfast

The Cuban sandwich we had was really good. The French fries were a mixture of sweet potato & regular fries, which was nice. The bacon was cooked perfectly. The pancakes reminded me of frozen pancakes that were thrown in a microwave. I would return here for a sandwich, not much else. Unfortunately, there aren’t too many authentic PR options in the condado area.

Had a quick coffee and had to come back another time to try the food. The return visit did not disappoint, everything was hot and fresh. Great service, lots of spaces to relax and enjoy the food and weather.

Was super busy but the food was good. I wish they had prosciutto on the menu. Access to patio is blocked by a wire fence which makes exiting an obstacle course.

This is a wonderful place for brunch and more. The prices were reasonable, the atmosphere was relaxing and inviting, service was great, and oooohhhh the pastries!! We ordered a pretty good variety of stuff from sandwiches, to coffee, to lemon tarts, soup, empanadas etc. My family thoroughly enjoyed almost everything. The only minor thing was just a personal preference in taste. My daughter and I weren’t the biggest fans of the carne and plantain empanadas we got. They just weren’t to our taste but they were not necessarily bad. Overall we really liked this place and look forward to going back to try more!

Super easy and chill place to pick up breakfast! We went twice during our stay in San Juan and loved it! Ordered La Mallorca with ham, egg and cheese, quesitos (cheese turnovers), potato ball, baked empanadas, coffee and the orange juice. Everything was delicious andddd we forgot to take pictures. We even went back and ordered some Quesitos to take home to family and everyone loved them! Service was quick, efficient, friendly and easy. Lots of tables inside and outside, and people trickle in and out with frequency.

Looking for a place to get authentic pan sobao and Quesitos to bring to my family in the USA. When I got there, they had a couple of quesitos left. I explained the amount I needed and why so many, and the girl immediately said thy could make them for me if I waited about 20 minutes. While we waited, I got a mallorca sandwich (heaven!) and a latte. My friends had a quesito and a guava pastelito and they were equally impressed with how amazing and fresh these pastries were. Looking at their menu I wish I could order and try everything. And can't wait to go back. My family was so happy with their treats and I'm very grateful they accommodated the request and with a friendly smile.

Giving Starbucks but the Latino version And surprisingly, everything was ‍ Cafe Con Leche Mallorca bread w/butter Empanada Quecito Ham & Cheese sandwich Glazed Almonds Media Noche (ham, sweet bread, pickles, mustard, roast pork, & Swiss cheese) Gatorade (not pictured) Tea (not pictured) The service was pretty quick, once you placed your order. And if you ordered to stay, they brought it to your table

If you love bread and are a sandwich person, this needs to be on your list when you visit San Juan! This was our introduction to Mallorca bread and oh boy, best bread I have ever tasted! Get it toasted and made with your choice of filling/meat. They serve some really good beverages and have a great ambiance as well. I'm not a big fan of the local coffee beans but they did serve handcrafted coffee beverages. You cannot go wrong with any of their tropical drink flavors.

Great spot for a good cup of coffee. Wish they had sizes that were larger than 12 ounces but other than that, the service and the ambience in this shop is charming. So glad we stopped by!

I'll give this place a 5 because the coffee is so darn good and it's ran like a well oiled machine.

When we first arrived in San Juan, I was looking for a quick snack before dinner. My son recommended this spot, but I initially said no. Three days later, while we were on our way to Old San Juan, he stopped by and grabbed a sandwich -- and let me have a bite. It was incredible! The bread was soft, sweet, and absolutely delicious. On our last day, I made sure we went back for breakfast before heading to the airport. My husband and I both ordered the ham and cheese breakfast sandwich. I couldn't remember the name of the bread, but when I told the lady I wanted the "sweet bread," she immediately knew what I meant. You know a place is good when it's packed with locals. This spot is a must-try if you're visiting San Juan!

Nice trendy cafe! Sandwiches and pastries were tasty and plentiful. The signs were confusing. They had 2 signs and 2 cashiers. I was under the impression one side was to order coffee and pastries and the other side was to order sandwiches. After the hostess explained either one works and placing customers to form an organized line. We were ready to order. The signs are long and cover vision of the menu. I would change that. But overall the menu had variety and food was tasty with prices that were better than your chain cafe. One to not miss when you are in San Juan Puerto Rico

Item ordered: cortadito Value: exceptional Service: good and quick! The Review: Considering how touristy the area is, I was pleasantly surprised that Sobao has incredible coffee AND prices. My cortadito was $1.50 (I KNOW, RIGHT?!). It was smooth as silk and just an overall delicious brew. Highly recommend Sobao for a coffee stop.

They have multiple locations and I like this one in Isla Verde. My weekly Cafe con Leche spot for an affordable, tasty 8oz cafecito. Both indoor and outdoor seating available and multiple self-order stations. Will have to come back to try their meals, sandwiches, etc but cafe is good!

Food was good! Savory sandwich and fresh! The young lady who took my husband and I's order answered all our question and gave me recommendations on which items on the menu to choose. Lots of seating both inside and outside.

Busy breakfast spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Service was fair. Coffee good. Breakfast disappointment. No taste to waffles or pancakes. Cafeteria style ambiance.

I was in need of sandwiches and salads for catering on a private plane. When I asked our front desk clerk at the AC HOTEL he recommended Sobao for sandwiches and salads. Couldn't have asked for a more convenient location. I placed my order with Fabiola the evening before and she assured me everything would be taken care of. I arrived In the morning and sure enough it was ready! Packaged very well, all was labeled, nothing was missing. I overheard the passengers commenting on how tasty the Cubano was. The food looked and tasted great! Thank you! On a side note their coffee and Mallorca's are yummy!

We came here because the place we went to did not have brunch. I ordered a Mallorca with egg cheese and ham. It was delicious and my teas which I ordered was amazing. The service was friendly and quick. It was very full but we did not wait long for our food. My Mallorca was delicious and not overly sweet. The place has an indoor and outdoor area. The indoor is nice but was full so we sat outside. I also ordered a croqueta which was quite good.

Very good coffee, the place is also very pretty, they have a nice location which I loved bc it was right outside our hotel, prices are very good and affordable, my favorite thing was their coffee definitely.

Fantastic place to go grab coffee and pastries. Their Mallorca is amazing!! Service is always great and we love the vibe sitting on the patio!

Super long wait time after placing order and most options were not available when it was time to order. Sand which bread was sooo hard and chewy. They also made the drinks incorrectly and it's so expensive for what it was.

My coworker recommended the quesitos here and they did not disappoint! She even asked me to bring some home for her that I carried all the way on a flight back with me. They were flaky, cheesy and delicious! I also had a spinach and cheese pastry which I think had honey or some sweet glaze on it that made it even better. The cafe got pretty busy in the morning but service was quick! Definitely stop by for a treat!

Second visit. Coffee is OK (rather go to Starbucks, but it's much farther from my hotel). Had to return a coffee but the gladly changed it. Pastries OK. Service is slow; 6 folks behind the counter and only one taking Orders. Pricing is good though. Music too loud outside for morning.

I've been fortunate to be able to eat here many times. I've had everything on the menu several times And every dish is done just right. The people are very nice and the service is excellent. The bakery puts on a great breakfast with excellent coffee and pastries. The restaurant, in the back, has the feeling of a cool speak easy. I hope you give it a try if you are in San Juan (which you should visit)!

Visited this coffee shop twice in the morning while staying at a nearby hotel. The coffee and food were solid, and the space itself has a cool vibe in a great location. Unfortunately, the customer service from the cashiers was consistently rude and disengaged -- they seemed bothered just taking our order. Great atmosphere, but the service definitely needs improvement.

This little café is perfect for a quick bite on the go. The chocolate chip cookies are fantastic for a late night cap and the coffee is fantastic. The breakfast is basic and quick grab and go but yummy!

Visited twice while in Condado on business. Food was good but hospitality was lacking. The cashiers (man and woman) during both visits were dry and not friendly. A smile and a " thank you" would've been nice to receive being that they are both free and i was a paying customer

Great breakfast spot! Went with my daughter and loved the fast, friendly service. Plenty of options, tasty food, and good coffee. We had a Cuban sandwich and it was delicious. Prices were good too. We did have to wait for a table to become available but, We'd definitely go back!

1st time here so can't say to much but asked regulars next to me if this is what a $12 sandwich looks like and they said they would complain too. Waitress didn't think there was anything wrong so letting people know. That's why it sucks to tip ahead of time too Place is otherwise cute and popular.

Went to the location next to the residence inn, cute little chain cafe. I did enjoy the special ice coffee with coconut and cinnamon, kind of pricey $6 something. We got the roast beef sandwich on French bread which was pretty good, $15. The beef and plantain empanada was okay. Not a fan of the service, they texted my order was ready, only put out the food and the drinks were sitting next to them on the counter and when I told them I was missing my drinks they looked at me annoyed.

So good, we ate here twice! On our first visit, my husband and I split the ham/cheese/egg Mallorca, an order of the seasonal pumpkin waffles, and an almond milk latte. All of these items came out hot and fresh, and were the perfect start to our day. The second time we ordered via Uber Eats and picked up our order within 10 minutes! There's a counter off to the side clearly labeled for pickup orders - very convenient! We were in the mood for a light dinner of a Cuban sandwich and a turkey sandwich. Both were very tasty even for takeout! We ate our leftovers on the plane the next morning and people were envious. This restaurant is counter service and decorated in a modern way with lots of natural light. Would recommend!

I had brunch here the morning I departed back to the U.S. during my birthday trip. The customer service was great - patient and answered all my questions in details I ordered the Sobao French Toast, Eggs with onions, an empiñada & Hazelnut flavored iced latte. It was like $25 or so and the food wasn't hot & the flavors were just okay. Nothing spectacular or good. The French Toast had me excited but just blah. The latte was the nicest thing.

Always a delight to come back home on vacay and stop by. Today ordered huevo con jamón which comes with 3 slices of pan sobao buttered and grilled to perfection, freshly squeezed orange juice and to top it off a relleno de pana . I highly recommend this place, until next time

Loved the ambiance! Shared a cabrese sandwich and quesito with my husband. Absolutely delicious!!!

Great space for fresh coffee, pastries and or sandwiches. Outdoor seating and indoor seating as well. Located on a corner spot. They take forever and got on ro my orders wrong but I still recommend.

Overall great experience. Ordering was easy in the kiosk. Food preparation was quick. Use of text to let you food ready to be pick up was great.

It was our first time in Puerto Rico and we decided to stay in Condado. After a couple days of eating crappy food at tourist trap restaurants, we stumbled across Sobao and we're so glad we did! We haven't found PR food to be the best but everything we've tried at Sobao has been delicious! My favorites are the Romano sandwich and the empanadas. We also tried their desserts (cheesecake and chocolate cake) and they were divine. Workers here are helpful and service was quick! Decor inside and outside were cute, clean and modern with lots of plants to liven up the place. Highly recommend if you're in Condado.

Convenient location next to the AC hotel. Good selection of sandwiches and coffees. Went a few days in a row and mostly enjoyed the food. Many of the workers speak english and will help translate the menu. The wait for the food was about 10 minutes even though the shop was usually empty. The best parts were the coffee and the baguettes. I'd recommend switching the bread to the baguette. The sobao bread is good but the baguette is better and has a fantastic crunch. French toast - good bread, custardy in the middle with a small amount of fruit on the top Jamon y queso Mallorca - soft pillowy bread with a good amount of ham. Salmon wrap - it says flatbread on the menu but it's actually a spinach wrap. The salmon was cured nicely and melted in your mouth but it was a very basic wrap and was subpar compared to the actual sandwiches The caprese and roast beef sandwiches were both on baguette bread and were very good.

This is a cute coffee shop and bakery near confado Beach. Even though it's counter order casual the service and ppl who work here were so kind. We ordered cortaditos and picallos. The coffee was brewed perfectly. We also had thei Mallorca with butter. It's a local version of buttered sweet bread but more denser and lighter than bagel. Yum.side snack for our coffee. Try this spot out for sure. Outdoor patio ambience is beautiful

Jueves 21 de septiembre de 2023 ya en al área de Condado para una reunión llegue temprano y decidí ir a tomar café y tostadas. Pues aquí en Sobao en la Asfhord. Esto es una panadería -RESTAUTANTE que antes se llamaba los Cidrines. Este local está ubicado en una área turística y residencial. Local de esquina en los bajos de un hotel. Solo estuve 15 minutos pero la pase súper tomando café y mi rica tostadas de pan sobao

Get the Nutella on Mallorca! And maybe the ham/egg/cheese on Mallorca as well. Pretty typical coffee shop vibes. Quick service, not the most friendly - but they're probably just sick of us tourists.

This place is aesthetically pleasing as it honors tradition and history with a modern flare. Their menu has traditional Puertorican options and some familiar to most, like waffles. The Sandwich de Jamón y Queso From SOBAO by Los Cidrines is a simple classic that will leave you happy and full. The waffle was fluffy and had a great texture. The service was excellent and quick.

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat and was not disappointed. The best Mallorca in the Condado area in my opinion and the savory meat patties with a sweet glaze in the hot case at the counter tasted like your Abuela made it! The guava pastry had just the right amount of guava inside while the pastry was flaky perfection! Fast and delicious food in a modern and inviting environment won't disappoint!

We are staying at the AC Hotel this location is attached to and we love the bakery side! I love it so much that I'm still here and had to write a review before I left. The iced coffee is great. I had vanilla the first day and mixed hazelnut and caramel the next day. There's a delectable mix of sweet and savory pastries that are so buttery and melt in your mouth. My fave sweets: Quesitos and a choco pastry (seems to be popular). There's a savory spinach and feta pastry that is amazing. I also tried a ham, egg, and cheese croissant that was pretty good. The staff is friendly and have been patient with all of our questions and requests. Depending on when you go there may be a bit of a wait but for the pastries alone- it's worth it. Can't wait to grabs a few treats for the plane ride home.

So excited to visit this place this morning after seeing those reviews but got so disappointed with the service. We placed our order at around 10:18 am and it took more than 30 minutes to get our breakfast (a coffee, , pan americano, bagel sandwich and soup) We had to follow up our order three times, no apologies for the delays despite coming to the counter asking if it were ready and was told to wait it will be served on our table for dine in. We just decided to make it to go and eat it on the run, as we had planned way ahead time to dine in before we had to be on a tour scheduled pick up before 11 am. We barely enjoyed the food, there was only a few orders ahead of us and at least waited patiently as our order was prepped and not being served nor expedited despite the follow up had to wait to get this service speed up. The Cashier who took our order wasn't so attentive, everybody was doing their own/some stuff but not orchestrated back of the house. Watched the back of the house pack our food if not it'll not be done as we had to go for our tour. Even we got the food, ate it hurriedly not fun! Foods was good at least 4 stars. The wait took so long for a breakfast sandwich. Will not come back- wish you had more trained staff to do the work properly and timely. Zero for service.

Ambiance: Slightly dirty. You'll most likely need to clean a table yourself to have a space to eat. When I went another group of customers had a dog that would not stop barking, and were sat inside, ruined the meal. Just wanted to get out so we didn't have to hear it anymore. Food: I've ate at this location over the years and it's gone down a lot in the last couple of years. I had Farina which was basically soup it was so watery and the egg ham and cheese sandwich. The sandwich when it came out had no egg. So I told the person bringing the food and they got it fixed quickly, and by fixed I mean someone in the kitchen just opened the sandwich and threw a half egg on each side and called it done. It sucked. Didn't finish it. When I showed to the cashier that the sandwich didn't even have enough egg to cover half of the sandwich she said they only put one egg for a sandwich cut in half. Lots of other places nearby that do the same type of food, better. Not even a complicated concept to have done it so poorly. Wasn't worth my time, won't make that mistake again.

Everything was good. Friendly service. The heated guava pastry was a surprise - so tasty and the warm guava oozed with the warm pastry - so good. I asked for some hot sauce with the egg dish. It seemed like it was some version of a BBQ sauce with a kick. I'd suggest some Cholula. I may order a sandwich for later to go. I'll be back next week!

The breakfast is so amazing that my kids repeat the breakfast the toast the coffee everything is organic and the ambiance has classical music

Fresh bread and delicious sandwich options. Great coffee! Fast and friendly service. Nice chill vibe!

Pleasant atmosphere, price is reasonable, staff very pleasant. Multiple breakfast options. Also, the different types of sandwiches they had for lunch was very appealing. Food came out rather quickly and very hot. The coffee was also very good. I enjoy the option of either dining in or sitting outside. Overall, great place to eat.

Clean, attentive staff. We had a Cuban sandwich, a quesito and a coffee. Easy to find walking distance from most hotels.

If you park in the lot to the right of the building you can get a parking discount. The inside of building is really nice and modern. It feels new and hip and has indoor and covered outdoor seating. I really wanted to like this place because Pan sobao from Cidrines is a staple in my kitchen. There is a selection of sandwiches, breakfast and hand held fried foods available. We just weren't blown away. I could make better sandwiches on my own rather than paying as much as we did. I ordered a medianoche, quesito and coffee. I had no complaints with the medianoche.. it was the perfect sized sandwich for the way I eat. The quesito was 7/10... not the worst and not the best I've had. My boyfriend ordered the pepito steak sandwich, guava pastry and papa rellena. The steak sandwich was really lame.... We figured it would be thicker steak but it was along the lines of thin steak ums/ a thin McDonald's patty on a sandwich. There was more lettuce than meat. The guava pastry had the skimpiest guava filling Ive ever seen- hopefully this was one bad pastry and the rest are usually filled more!! My boyfriend said the best thing was the papa rellena. All being said, I'll still continue to worship pan sobao from Los Cidrines. I won't be back here but if you're a tourist and looking for a quick breakfast spot, this is the spot for you

Food was good at reasonable prices and the service was great. Bread was fresh and very tasty and the kiwi mint juice was delicious.
