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

The Coffee in Old San Juan is a sleek, minimalist haven that trades lower prices for high-end quality. Using an efficient tablet system for quick service, they deliver expertly crafted treats like their signature ice cream frappes and decadent brownies. It’s a polished, relaxed spot that’s well worth the premium for a superior caffeine fix in a modern setting.

Best coffee in Puerto Rico ! I am a handful coffee fan and I only drink black coffee. I like to try the special notes from local coffee beans. This is the best place to go! Pairing your handful coffee with a bottle of their mineral sparkling water, you can taste the insanely sweetness from local coffee beans. It tastes soooooo good! Supreme quality and taste. Better than La Cabra geisha!

First of all, Irvin was amazingly kind and welcoming! We ordered a true white and a matcha and they were both done to perfection. The banana cake was also a great pair. This is the best caffe in San Juan!

whoever said it’s the best coffee in PR is lying to you unless you like your coffee very bitter😭. I fell into the hype thinking it was actually going to be good and I got a mocha as well a matcha and both were equally disgusting. Two stars for the good atmosphere as well as great service! The cookie was also ok here. However , the iced coffee / lattes aren’t good unless you like really bitter coffee .

Excellent little coffee spot, had a great ham and cheese croissant as well as the pan au chocolate with my double shot espresso and machiato tradicionale. The place itself was nice and quiet, the local construction not as much but my wife and I had a laugh that whatever tool there were using sounded like the horn of Gondor. Prices quite reasonable, would not hesitate to go back

I tell you that you will not be disappointed!!! My blended matcha was delicious!! I stumbled upon this cute fresh spot while walking the stunning streets of old San Juan. I was craving something sweet and refreshing and needed to charge my phone. This little spot delivered on both accounts. It is clean and fresh with a very simplistic decor which is clean and relaxing. I ordered on a pad which was quick and efficient. My drink was prepared quickly and with genuine care. And it did not disappoint! It was cold sweet and refreshing. A much needed treat, the barista even offered to remake it if for some reason I was not satisfied which I thought was a sweet gesture. However, there was no need. So when in old San Juan and in need of a cute refreshing space to grab a drink and catch a quick charge I would totally recommend this little spot. A place for travelers and locals alike. Such a vibe 🇵🇷❤️

This was crowded in evenign around 6 pm, something you do not see on mainland. The barista was awesome with his patience and despite being the only person churning out orders with smile(even changing them). They had goid almond crossiant and coffee - the coffee was v good . We also had matcha and strawberry dribk- reasonably priced and in good vibes of black and white.

I loved this caffe so much! The staff is so friendly and kind, you could also tell they put a lot of love and attention in their work. Irvin prepared our drinks and they were perfect 😍 We’ll definitely come back!
