- MorningGlory09New York City, New York35 contributionsPerfect find, best coffee in PVNicely set up corner patio, minus the traffic on one side but the quiet street on the other side lined with local souvenir shops more than makes up for it. The interior is beautifully layed out with mouthwatering in house made chocolate and other desert offerings. Coffee and liquor bars and a discreet shop completes the perfect layout. The food is delicious and the locally roasted coffee is perfection. Jeremiah and David our servers were courteous, knowledgeable and certainly enhanced the overall experience.Visited November 2023Travelled with friendsWritten November 15, 2023
- Fran S30 contributionsLove Vallarta Cigar FactoryWe love the Vallarta Cigar Factory. We frequently stop for breakfast or lunch and have never been disappointed. The pizza and potatoes are delicious. The Mexican Platter is impressive and fish tacos are a favorite. We love sitting outdoors, but on hot days it's nice to sit indoors in the air-conditioning. A great place to eat and we always bring our visiting company for the platter.Visited April 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten April 6, 2024
- Oneoftheboys11 contributionsStill a favoriteAfter a four year absence from Puerto Vallarta, I was thrilled to go back last month. I was also excited to revisit one of my favorite haunts, the Vallarta Cigar Factory. I last reviewed it in 2020, and I’m happy to say it is every bit as good as I remembered. The espresso martinis are still the best, the food did not disappoint (really good, thin crust pizza), and our server, Jesus, was friendly and attentive. And, although I am not a smoker, there appeared to be a nice selection of cigars available. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. A perfect location to just kick back and people watch. Check it out!Visited March 2024Travelled with friendsWritten April 13, 2024

We were there several times in Feb and March 2022 always sitting outside despite the construction. We discovered this jewel of a place in 2020 and cannot get enough of it.
This time around, Jamil, greeted us and actually remembered us from 2020. He is the most personable and professional individual we have ever met. In fact, all of the staff are fantastic.
While the food, mango smoothies, coffees and pastries are all delectable this is the place for the best drinks in town. No where do they make margaritas which are so authentic and made with fresh ingredients such as here. Kudos to Jamil and all of the staff for their terrific service and quality of their food and drinks. Do not forget to purchase their wonderful bags of coffee. 🇨🇦

So we were walking along the river and asked an expat from the US for a good place to eat. He said the Vallarta Cigar Factory is one of his favorites and he walked with us all the way to their front door. What a great find. This place is a restaurant, a chocolate factory, a bakery, a gourmet coffee shop and a cigar factory (next door). NO smoking in the restaurant. This is a nice air conditioned place. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. We had Chicken Enchiladas, Eggs Benedict, Hot Cakes with bacon, and a fruit plate. Everything was a perfect 10. We also got some chocolates to go. I wish we would have found this place sooner. Highly recommended and we will definitely return.

While staying at a nearby Airbnb, we frequented this place often over the span of two weeks. The variety of food and drinks was great, as was the service by the very hospitable waiters Tony and Fernando, whose English was very good. A great spot to enjoy a meal, snacks, or just drinks (excellent coffee and smoothies, not to mention the stronger ones). Also a good spot to sit down for a rest and watch locals and tourists. We don’t smoke, but the cigar humidor was hopping every day as well, as was the chocolate shop. Highly recommended!

I was recommended to this place a good friend, and my first time was an amazing experience. Victor took excellent care of me from the moment I walked in. One of the best café Americanos I’ve had in a long time - three egg breakfast with bacon, fresh strawberries, blueberries, melon and watermelon with potatoes Leon & fresh baked bread.
Since I’m a two minute walk away I know this will become my favorite place for breakfast and lunch. The menu is off the Hook good. Spectacular service and I hear they have amazing cigars and a huge humidor.
The price was less than six dollars for coffee and breakfast. Don’t hesitate to come by and say hello to these really nice people

As usual, excellent food. No rush here, which is a good thing. If you're hoping to eat and leave quickly, you probably won't like it here. Great selection of chocolate and with the new smoking laws, the tobacco products are available, but not in plain sight. All kept upstairs. We come here every time we visit PVR and never disappoints.

Our gringo gulch walking tour with Sandra ended here & I noticed a table had a great looking pizza on it so we came back later this evening bc we couldn’t stop thinking about that pizza we saw! We got the pepperoni pizza that also came with black olives & artichoke & a side bowl of pesto. It was 195 pesos & was plenty for both of us. It was thin crust(ONLY)with the edges being crispy. It was SO good that we plan to go back! Also, the bathrooms were very clean & they do accept credit cards.

Awesome spot with great service! It has become a ritual for our family every trip. We generally order Cuba libre “to go” in advance of shopping 😊. But have also sat at the bar and on the outdoor patio. On a busy corner and the interesting people and traffic patterns it never disappoint! Awesome desserts too. The wait staff is super attentive and friendly and remember us from year to year which lovely. A great pit stop.

Is smoking on the patio still permitted, or did the new smoking laws put an end to that now?
Written April 2, 2023
Not sure if smoking on the patio is allowed anymore. They've changed their business strategy and have moved away from being a cigar bar.

I’ll be visiting PV on Royal Caribbean Navigator of the Seas. Will a box of cigars remain in good condition during the two days of sailing back to California?

With the cigar shop being right there, is there a lot of cigar shop at the café?
Written June 2, 2019
Not sure I understand the question... You can purchase cigars in the shop and enjoy one on the patio. There is also great coffee,beer, mixed drinks, food, deserts, and attached to the building (same owner) is the chocolate factory where we found a good deal on Vanilla as well. There is some seating inside and the actual area taken by the cigar shop is 25% and the Bar area 25%, seating and displays take up remaining 50%.Whether you smoke or not you will enjoy.
