Such a great spot in the cut in OSJ. Baristas are pros and the coffee is first-class. They have a nice selection of postres and breakfast items. The Mallorca sandwiches are awesome, ham or Turkey on the softest bread , warmed in the oven and sprinkled with powdered sugar. The omelet is also a winner, served with fresh buttered bread. It’s great because you can park a scooter in front ( there are only 3 areas to park scooters in OSJ) and go into the plaza and eat there or take it to go and sit on the lawn at El Morro. Highly recommend this spot

I'm not really a coffee drinker but the latte I had was pretty good and even had a iguana design which was pretty cool considering we had seen a lot of them earlier in the day. The mini cinnamon rolls were decent. The service was really good and the staff was very pleasant and helpful.

A great stop on a hot afternoon walking around Old San Juan. The iced Caribbean mocha was absolutely fantastic, and their bakery and food options were plentiful. Would highly recommend.

Great coffee- also work as a local roaster and roast beans from Puerto Rico in-house!

Great place with great food. Nice people

Solid Coffee from here! They are one of the few with many different types of pours. They have their own coffee farm they resources from. The environment is super cozy inside and you can hang out the beautiful Ballaja outside if you want too. The turkey and egg sandwiches were very tasty as well. If you’re around the area, definitely get a cup of coffee here

My friends and I were looking for a place with coffee and wifi after walking all noon. It’s a hip place to chill at and study. The coffee is good and reasonably priced. They have flavored coffee too. It’s one of my favoritte cafés in Old San Juan.

It’s a must go place in San Juan. Everything about this place is just awesome. Coffee and food both are pretty delicious. Great for vegetarians, pesto sandwich was very fresh and good, also their blueberry muffin. Staff was so polite and helpful. We liked it so much that we went again next morning, but unfortunately it was Sunday and they open at 10. Anyways, I am looking forward to go there again on my next trip to Puerto Rico.

Great coffee in a beautiful area. The coffee is grown at their own local farm. Mid-day on Saturday they will even roast in-house.
I visited in late October on a Saturday morning. I was a bit confused walking up, given that it is not a stand alone store, nor is it immediately accessable from the street. You have to walk into the museum courtyard from the street and it will be found tucked away in a corner. Cannot recommend enough.

Delicious coffee and brunch, generous portions, kind staff and very fair prices. The outdoor seating area at Cuartel de Ballaja is very cozy too. Highly recommended!
