Una excelente experiencia. El ibérico, el wrap la ola, el crossaint con huevitos, riquísimo. Mi mejor experiencia de desayuno en PR. El propietario Cristian es super amable. Hemos desayunado dos días ahí y mañana será el tercer día.

We stopped in on our way from Isla Verde to Old San Juan and are so happy we did! We were greeted by very friendly staff and seated in no time for a party of 4. The drinks and food are so fresh and delicious. Everything came out in a timely manner and the staff made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our food. I definitely recommend stopping by if you have the chance. Thank you to the staff for a great experience!

The entrance was very warm, I was greeted promptly at the door. The açai bowl was delicious. It consisted of mango, pineapple, papaya, and granola. The coffee I got was an Americano, which was also delicious.

This is one of the best brunch spots I’ve ever been to. I strongly recommend. I had to come here twice, two days in a row because it was that good. Omelette and French toast bursts with flavor. The smoothies are perfect, not too sweet but just sweet enough with refreshing taste and feel. The owner/staff are on point and very efficient. Nice and positive environment.

Very cool breakfast brunch spot with coffee and fresh fruit smoothies. The owners were extremely nice and friendly. I wish we were staying in the area longer so we could have gone again. We got the breakfast sandwich and guava pancakes. Both were excellent. They did plain pancakes for my son which he enjoyed. Still thinking about the guava pancakes

I love everything about this place! The food, smoothies, acai bowl and coffee are amazing. I literally came back every day during my stay. I ordered the guava pancakes, koko pancakes, tropical pancakes, bacon which were all delicious. The smoothies were fresh and coffee was good. I highly recommend!

The food was amazing. The drinks were so refreshing and FRESH!! Skip the chain smoothie/juice places and come here for the best food and blended juices you'll ever have!! I had the turkey burger which was such an experience!! I have never tasted so many delicious flavors all at once. Have picky kids? My kids enjoyed every bite of their Oreo waffles!! Bring the entire family there is something for everyone on the menu!!

The food and coffee was delicious! There were many things that I wanted to order. Great menu. Service was good. No parking made it a little tricky to get to, but we found a parking garage nearby. Parking in San Juan is a challenge. That's not the fault of the restaurant. I would definitely recommend and go back.

Good Coffee, Great Atmosphere, Great Service. The owner was also our sever and he was very kind, knowledgeable, and the food came quick. Plenty of street parking. One could always park in the shopping center across the way. The bananas foster french toast was killer. And the hotsauce he brings out is great. The guava hotsauce was great on the burger. It would be really good on some pulled pork or other Barbecue. Highly reccomend. Some of the best freshest food on la isla.

What an outstanding breakfast or brunch place. We eat there four times and we're never disappointed. Fresh ground coffee for every cup. Just be aware they do not open at 9am sharp

La comida es excelente, el servicio es casual sin prisa boricua, y el horario de apertura no es muy fiel así que llegue como media hora después de la hora que se supone que abran.

La comida estuvo bien, pedi capuchino y en realidad no saben prepararlo, ademas estaba frio, el jugo de parcha bueno, y al pedir la cuenta me estaban cobrando 4 artículos que no pedí, elevando mi cuenta por mas de 20.00 dolares que no me correspondían. No creo que regrese en mi opinion.

Super bueno el establecimiento, aunque sea un un poco pequeño para un restaurante, su comida tiene buenas a grandes porciones para el precio, los ingredientes frescos. Suele llenarse y el espacio puede ser un poco incómodo, pero definitivamente regresaría.

La comida estaba buena, mi Mallorca no tenía queso crema tan siquiera, esperamos demasiado tiempo, el dueño es un poco ruff pero ok entiendo que había rush, el aire del lugar no enfría tanto! El precio estaba un tanto alto, por lo menos por la espera me dieron una mimosa pero vimos que agarró el hielo con la mano😵‍💫! Tal vez vuelva pero no en tiempo de high season! Debe tener más personal para que pueda atender más rápidos los clientes! No tengan que esperar una hora por la comida! Hasta para pagar tuvimos que esperar porque el dueño es el que contesta el teléfono, toma las órdenes, recibe los clientes más también entrega a las mesas y cobra! Puede delegar en otros y así baja la carga y puede producir mucho más en tiempo alto!! El omelet estaba muy blandito por dentro! Los baños estaban ok!

I ordered a smoothie to go (which was tasty). The place looks cozy and service was fast. However , the price of the smoothie was announced as $8.00 x 11.5% tax would be $8.92. The cashier charged $11.00, didn’t give me any receipt and didn’t give me the option to have my receipt nor the option to add a tip. I checked the price again on their menu after leaving and it was a $8.00 smoothie. Evidently, the cashier added a custom tip without asking or the announced prices are not accurate. This is disrespectful to customers, but even worse, it’s illegal.

Muy mala experiencia en Playa Papaya Condado. Ni siquiera llegamos a probar la comida. Todo parecía bien al principio, pero cuando llegó el dueño del restaurante, su actitud fue tan desagradable que decidimos irnos de inmediato. Practicamente nos botó del lugar, hablándole al mesero de muy mala manera y diciendo que no se podían vender bebidas licuadas cuando él estuviera solo, usando un tono irrespetuoso y totalmente fuera de lugar. Un restaurante puede tener buena reputación, pero si el dueño trata así a los clientes y a su propio personal, es imposible sentirse bienvenido. Definitivamente no regreso ni lo recomiendo.

Pensaba ir a este establecimiento, pero viendo los comentarios negativos y la forma en que responde el establecimiento, mejor ni me asomo. Eso dice mucho de lo que es el servicio al cliente. La estrella no es por el lugar, sino por las respuestas pasivo-agresivas hacia algunos comentarios de los consumidores. Y a modo de crítica constructiva, las mismas es para fortalecer esas areas de debilidad, no las tomen como algo negativo. Si, hay clientes que uno no quiere que los visite, como en todo negocio, pero como uno responte a dichos comentarios pueden ser motivos de ahuyentar nuevos clientes.
