Kasalta

This place is a great local spot. They have their operational procedures down. The food is spectacular, and the coffee is great too. I had the Cuban and an Americano. Their pastry case filled with sweets was tempting, too. The place was always filled with people coming and going but it never felt crowded. I would highly recommend coming in for a visit.

Recommended this spot by a local and former President Obama came here. The restaurant is divided into two sections, a sandwich line and a bakery line. The Bistec was a bit bland and heavy with the steak imagine it like a Philly cheese steak style meat and shoestring fries stuffed inside. The Cuban sandwich was a bit better because it had sour pickles to help lift up the heaviness of the sandwich. Overall the sandwiches are okay, but nothing to rave about. The desserts were fun to try, the local signature is the guava pastelito which is like a sugar coated hard puff pastry filled with guava jam. They also have cakes, flans, and other baked goods as well as chocolate bon bons if that interested you. Good for a large group setting!

This place looked charming, and with such a large menu, we walked in with high expectations. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to the warm hospitality we’d experienced elsewhere on the island. The service felt a bit cold, and the food followed suit. I ordered the Mallorca with bacon and cheese, but it was overly dusted with powdered sugar, and the amount of cheese—about 10 slices—was just overwhelming. I also tried the bread pudding, hoping for a nostalgic taste from my childhood, but it fell flat and lacked the richness I remembered. It’s a beautiful spot with potential, but sadly, our experience didn’t match the promise.

This is a great spot for both savory foods, like sandwiches, and sweet foods, like pastries! There were two of us, so we were able to split up and wait in both lines at the same time which was useful for saving time. The lines didn’t move very quickly, but it wasn’t too bad of a wait. All of the food, sweet and savory, was delicious! The sandwich on Mallorca bread was unique, and I’m glad we tried it!

This place is highly overrated. I’ve tried two different pastries and they taste nothing like they should. The palmier (palmera) was thick, dry and dense. Not flaky and light like they are from a French bakery or any good bakery. The tiramisu tasted like pancake syrup. It was also thick dry and dense and I could only eat one bite it was so nasty.
