We stopped at this place dying for breakfast and coffee. We quickly realized it's very small and our party of 8 was probably going to sit outside. We got lucky and found seating inside. The coffee was delicious, and the food was decent. Besides the guy taking our order, everyone else seem to hate their job. It was like we were bugging them for being there. It's a decent spot to stop by for a quick coffee and treat. That's it.

Awesome cafe very near to El Murro. Great coffee. Pretty difficult to actually find. It's located in this beautiful plaza but there is only one entry to get into the plaza - so first you have to find that.
Had some lattes and pastries and a turkey and cheese croissant sandwich. Everything was well made and delicious.
Highly recommend to stop in on your way to see El Murro.

Thankfully, this was the first stop on an amazing morning walking food tour taken Sunday 2/22/2026 with Elliot of Spoon tours (found through TripAdvisor).
It’s located in a historic building (former hospital and barracks now turned cultural center). The history of this family’s coffee making goes back to the 1800s.
I am not a coffee drinker or a hot drink person. (My morning caffeine of choice is usually a Dr. Pepper. 🤣) But of course, I was going to try everything on the food tour. I was pleasantly surprised by the smoothness of this coffee and ended finishing the whole cup. I was happy to learn I can buy it online.
The ham and cheese (jamon y queso) Mallorca sandwich was delicious. The bread was warm and fresh topped with powder sugar which paired well with the ham inside.

Best coffee in Old San Juan. I ordered an iced latte with oat milk. The quality of the coffee was amazing. The flavor was well balanced and smooth. I also ordered an egg and croissant that were delectable. I would definitely come back. Be aware that it is a bit hard to locate using google maps. A lovely gentleman helped us find the entrance. The shop is located inside the Museo de las Americas.

Fantastic coffee. The cortado was smooth and well-balanced. The ham mallorca was soft and savory with a hint of sweetness. The prices are a steal and way below the value you get. Love this place.
