Review of Cafe Cola'o

Cafe Cola'o
Ranked #5 of 46 Quick Bites in San Juan
Price range: C$7 - C$14
Restaurant details

Folks looking for food, please do not discredit this gem for a lack of variety. Their specialty is coffee and they are "hands-down" the best in Old San Juan! Not only are the prices reasonable, the staff greets you with a smile and is quick with your order.

Take a pass on Starbucks and come here :-) !

Really did not expect much, tucked in the cruise ship piers as this is but based on recommendations we did search this out after an afternoon exploring old San Juan. We were not disappointed ! Charming staff, wonderful local yogurt and the coffee was really great - smooth and strong!

Tried the cafe based on the recommendations on Trip Advisor. My wife is very selective with her coffee and I am not big coffee drinker. The coffee was awesome. My wife enjoyed the cafe lattes and I enjoyed the cappuccinos. We liked it so much we ran back to old San Juan a second time to enjoy the coffee and to bring some home. The local pastries they had filled with guava or cream cheese were also very delicious! Definitely will come back here with we are in Puerto Rico!

Coffee was good but they really don't offer much else. All the food - mostly pastries and three different sandwiches - are all prepackaged and not fresh.

I had coffee in other spots that was equally as good if not better.

I wouldn't go out of my way to go here.

We got coffee here a couple mornings during our stay in old San Juan. The food was average but the coffee was amazing. Wish we had a coffee shop like this @home :-\
