Utopia Souvenir Shop

Fun cute little shop! Not so little. It has everything from food, coffee to souvenirs and plenty to choose from. The triplets sandwich was the bomb! So good. Waiting a little for it but so worth it! No soap or paper towels in the restrooms but the bathrooms are clean!

What a great place! Awesome sandwiches and coffee! Great service. Very nice store. So glad we found it!

The coffee was great. The people were friendly. All the staff in the store were very helpful. I can't say enough about this family owned business. I wish all family owned we're this amazing and I could post the same review! I don't know when we'll be back, but even if it's a long time, we hope that you are still here. Thank you for the lovely experience back to our island. ❤️❤️❤️

Excellent place, amazing flavors and friendly staff. What an amazing place to have a great breakfast!!

This was a really nice souvenir store. First off is freaking huge! Second it had a vast variety of things so I'm thinking there's something for everyone. My main interest was the jewelry which ranged for casual and elegant to over the top which is my style. But if you're on vacation or a local I think you'll like it. Side note: there's a Cafe inside but it's separate from the store. So if you need the restroom you have to be a patron of the actual Cafe. Which sucks and is the reason that got 4 stars instead of 5.

Wow this is the biggest gift shop that know of in Ponce Puerto Rico. Just remember that masks and temperature are required at the store, they have clothing,lot of artisan crafts,musical instruments,bathrooms and diner. There is only municipal and street parking the shop has a wheelchair accessible entrance and they speak Spanish and English.

Giant store with lists of unique decorations. Lost of clothing too. Prices are the best. Stop by and have a cafe and pastries.

Great little cafeteria located inside a large souvenir store. There are tables inside and outside facing the square. They have an espresso machine and prices are much better than at larger coffee shop chains.

Mi tienda favorita desde 1996. Y sigue estando igual de hermosa con todo lo que uno necesita para regalar o quedarselo las artesania los trajes blancos.

The sandwiches are excellent, stuffed with great ingredients. The coffee was as good as coffee gets. Most of the store sells tourist trinkets which is fine, but the restaurant part is very worth it. The menu is very unclear, with limited descriptions only in Spanish. But trust the sandwiches. Always trust the sandwiches. Even if you don't know what you're getting. It'll be good. Service is abrupt, to the point, and confusing for a first timer. All the more reason to go back again after you figure out how it works and what to expect.

Where the locals go to have a coffee and breakfast plus lots of cheap souvenirs for tourists. We western scrambled eggs but the it came with the precooked bacon. Coffee was excellent. Very reasonable prices.

A really cool store to get all your Puerto Rico souvenir needs taken cared of. If you are looking for something authentic or just something to remind you of your stay, I am sure you will find it here. Or maybe you are looking for the must have t-shirt, you will find it here. A really nice shop with plenty of choices.

Bright turquoise shop in the city center. It's in a brightly turquoise and white store front by the center park. Cafe is on the left when you walk in. A variety of random gifts everywhere else. Costume jewelry, nose rings, pottery coffee sets, poker tables, kitchen chef decor, religious figurines, figurines of any and all kids of animals from geckos, frogs, owls and elephants too. Beach wear and island wear in general and poor quality embroidered hats too. Tax is about 12% here, quite high here for PR. Inane and insane actually. $12.99 for a frog and I paid $14.48 after tax.

A nice cafe & souvenir shop in Ponce, we enjoyed our time here picking out souvenirs but our breakfast experience was "meh." Their carrot muffin was way too sweet and cafe con leche was just milk coffee. My cappuccino was slightly better and my meat pie was decent and filling for me. Needed to use their restroom and it took forever to even find where it is in the back, and then some more to find the attendant to show the receipt to in order to gain entrance. Needless to say, I almost pissed my pants. Good place to pick up PR coffee as their price is like half that of Dutyfree shops in the airport. They had really large selection of t-shirts too, though I could not find L sizes (they were all Small!) on good t-shirts, maybe they did not restock quickly enough. Did manage to pick up some good quality ones. On top of that, they have all kinds of key chains, jewelries, hats, beach towels, decorative hangings, dresses, etc etc so you should spend some time here picking things out! Souvenir shop gets a 4.5 from me but the cafe unfortunately gets a 2 for a combined score of 3. Maybe I'll have better luck at the cafe next time because people were lining up here and the atmosphere was definitely inviting and good.

Las trabajadoras en el frente eran bien groseras con migo por un preocupación sobre un regalito roto. Necesitan más capacitación de la gerencia. Sería por que no soy un local. Pero yo no soy difícil y mi preocupación tenía un remedio fácil. Evita aquella con las petañas de mal gusto y la morena joven. / The workers in the front were very rude with me over a concern I had over a damaged porcelain item. They need more training from management. They were probably rude to me because I am not a local. I don't give workers a hard time there was an easy solution. Avoid the girl with the tacky lashes and the young mixed black/ white girl.

Still going strong! Love this place - try toast and cheese breakfast- very reasonable and great cafe !

I have been here several times for breakfast or coffee time in the afternoon. Also, I buy most of my souvenirs in here. Staff is very friendly and fresh bake goods. You will love everything from this store/cafe.

Great place to buy souvenirs to your love ones back home in New York. Good coffee and atmosphere. I will come back again.

I was the best breakfast I have in years. They make me and my children an especial order and tread them we pure love. I strongly recommend this place if you want to taste ponceño breakfast!!! Thank you for the treatment!!! Best of look

This is a great place to go for souvenirs. You WILL find something for everyone there from shot glasses, refrigerator magnets, t-shirts and key chains, but also way more. They have everything and the prices are pretty good. I didn't eat at Utopia, but kinda wish I had. Excellent location right across from Parque de Bombas.

This was a great place! The service was excellent. I had the chicken wrap and iced coffee and both were amazing! Highly recommend.

Place looks awesome .. needed quick bite and beach towels .. sandwiches are big ... must try

Stayed in ponce for two nights with my husband and on the morning before leaving we tried this place out for breakfast, and so glad we did! So cheap, simple and good!!! I got a sandwich with egg, cheese, tomato and lettuce, it was amazing! My husband got a revuelto with jam and chess, revuelto means scrambled. You must try this place out!!!!

The sandwiches taste great and the prices are acceptable, i stayed in the area and had breakfast daily. Good environment, staff friendly improvement would be to be is bit organize and food will come out a bit faster.

Worst place in town. Extremely overprice, a tourist tramp. They overcharged me for two different items. $22.99 for a $10.99 boy's shirt and $39.99 for a $16.99 women's dress. The fitting room it's not open, which is understandable, but I went to return a dress that didn't fit the next day and they refuse to return the money, only store credit, even though I spent almost $200 in souvenirs. Bad, bad, bad!!!!

Slow service when ordering coffee or food but very large assortment of local articles for sale. Prices too high. Parking availability very bad.

coffee shop cum souvenir shop just off the main Plaza. Good coffee and fast breakfast. Quiet and comfortable eating area overlooking the famous Parque de Bomba. A nice oasis.

This is a cute little, no HUGE souvenir store/breakfast/coffee place in Ponce (southern PR.) You'll find your usual liquors, candies, shot glasses, magnets and all kinds of bric-a-brac to fill up your luggage with. At the hotel we stayed at, we played a game of dominoes (very popular thing to do here) and one friend picked up a cute wood box of dominoes--box proudly emblazoned with the Puertorrican flag! It was only $15 here, and when I saw the same set at other gift stores, they were all $20, so if dominoes is your game I would get them here. I picked up a magnet in the shape of the machete (a lot of stuff was in the shape of a machete--but not in a Friday the 13th kind of way. I think it has to do with the sugar cane.) We stopped in the next day for breakfast/coffee. Their coffees get up to 12 oz -- watch out! That's huge here ;) In addition to coffee, I had the chicken burrito thingy with lettuce and tomato. It was okay. It seems like locals like to hang their hats here at the long counter and chill for a while. This place opens at 7am and I think (?) was open until 7pm but I wasn't sure; good hours for sure, though.

Food wise- actually a pretty good place. You may be tempted to turn around because this is part of a tourist souvenir store. However, if you're looking for a quick sand which, can definitely recommend! Coffee is OK. Store wise- lots of options for souvenirs.

Cafe con leche was amazing! Had the ham and cheese all the way, it was delicious! Husband had the toast with egg and ham, it was just okay. My son and daughter shared the ham and cheese omelette and they were impressed! In a gift shop, so that was slightly off putting but coffee and sandwich were great!

Food is tasty, fast service and good coffee. If you are visiting Ponce don't go to any other Panaderia than this one! It's the only one that does a good job and has good tasting food, good portion and good prices!

This place is incredible!!!! We stopped while in Ponce for the day to grab coffee and walk around downtown. Utopia is an amazing coffee shop, restaurant and souvenir shop all in one. I got a cafe con Leche and a Jamon y quest sandwich and both were so good! The coffee was so flavorful and the sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. Stop in this place if you're looking for a quick bite!

Big tourist shop with a small eating area. Food was good and cheap got Puerto Rico. My wife and I split a sandwich on our guide's recommendation. The sandwich was very good. A full sandwich would have been too much for each of us.

Ponce, Puerto Rico. Utopía is a wonderful place to meet friends for breakfast or lunch. It's right on the town square and easy to find. The somewhat limited menu has enough delicious items at very good prices to keep even locals like myself coming back often. Some reviews mention slow service, but this isn't fast food; everything is prepared when it's ordered. Simply ask that your coffee be served before the meal, sit back and enjoy. You might prefer to look over a large collection of antiques and photographs of Ponce from long ago or stroll through the huge store of souvenirs, knick-knacks, clothing, jewelry and much more. It's Utopía. Enjoy.

This place completely saved us on our last day in PR. My fiancee and I were looking for a place to have breakfast AND a souvenir shop during our last morning. The cafe we wanted to eat at was closed and we were beginning to stress because of the drive we had to take to San Juan for our flight. Utopia caught our eyes with the coffee sign in the window and we figured we would just eat and forego the shopping. Well, as soon as we walked in the door we could not stop smiling from ear to ear! To our left was a little cafe with the best coffee ever and right in front of us was every single souvenir (local art pieces as well as made in china knick knacks) we could ever want! We ordered breakfast, which was delicious, and shopped while it was being prepared. Give yourself plenty of time to browse here as there are tons of things to choose from. It truly was a Utopia for us!

I've had the chance to visit Utopia in 3 different occasions. The first two times I went for brunch and lunch, the turkey wraps and tripletas are great: very delicious, good serving size and nice presentation. Last time I went for an iced coffee and a Frappuccino, but they had almost no syrup or topping, the presentation was not impressive, very plain, my Frappuccino was lacking in coffee flavor tasted more like milk with sugar. I would give them another try. Also don't be deceived by the entrance of the place, it's a nice place to grab a quick bite.

Horrible service. Sat at the counter with my two children for about 10 min. The only ones at the counter besides one other gentleman. 3 employees passed me by and didn't even acknowledge our presence. But had time to serve themselves food. Must be nice.

As a souvenir store, it is what it is. The most memorable thing was the staff. Bought a little box of assorted candies for my three kids on their first trip to PR. Cashier didn't even make eye contact while she yelled at other staff members. Then got randomly stopped on my way out, accused of not paying by another staff member, who then went to check with the cashier to see if I paid. When she somehow confirmed that I had, I was allowed to leave. No apology for the mistake or explanation for what prompted the grand investigation in front of my kids. Would recommend avoiding unless that kind of customer service is for you.

Great breakfast sandwiches at a great price! This place is actually inside of a souvenir shop so don't expect it to be a full on restaurant, but the food was good. It did take a little while to get the food but they only have two people working and they make everything from scratch- so those that complained on their review about how long it took, I have one thing to say to you...."It ain't McDonald's" it's not going to take 2 mins! But it's definitely worth the wait.
