Caficutura in San Juan is a true gem for brunch lovers. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm, charismatic service that immediately sets the tone for a relaxing and authentic Puerto Rican experience. The food was absolutely wonderful, rich in traditional flavors and presented beautifully, making it as much a feast for the eyes as it was for the palate. The attention to detail in both service and presentation shows real pride in their craft. If you’re in San Juan and looking for a vibrant, welcoming brunch spot, Caficultura is a must-visit.
At the entrance to Old San Juan, you will find this gem of a place! I have been a lover of cafés since I was a teen. Caficultura is a remarkable establishment. The coffee was incredible! As far as I know, it is all Espresso based coffee drinks, so if you want basic drip coffee you have to settle for an Americano. It was delicious as well as all the other coffee drinks. They have a small and approchable beverage program that offers thoughtful cocktails, local beer, small curated wine selections and teas. Of course the coffee is the star! The culinary offerings were perfect for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Our family tried the Crouque Madame, the Mallorca French Toast, Quinoa Bowl and the basic breakfast. It requires multiple visits to try all the menu. All the food was delicious. The menu was sophisticated yet very approachable! The service was attentive, warm, welcoming and informative. They answered all questions and requests with helpful responses. I don't recall the name of the person who helped us, but they took care of our table with patience and made our experience enjoyable. The vibe of the space also takes the experience to another level. It is classic Spanish Colonial architecture with the furnishings that felt eruopean, like stone table tops with ornate cast iron bases, and a center chandelier that took me 150 years into the past. Don't let that fool you because even though they give nods to San Juans past and coffee traditions, they are very rooted in the present by the vibe they present! The playlist was great too. An amazing Café experience on the Isla del Encanto!
We’ve eaten at probably 15 restaurants in Old San Juan and this is one of the best. The French Mallorca was superb. Good coffee options, delicious juices, and excellent service.
What a breath of fresh air. Great service. Great food. Great recommendations! We were sat immediately, the waitress was super adorable, and very helpful with the menu - letting us know what her favorites were etc. it was such a great change from the last place we had breakfast.
Lovely little café in Viejo San Juan.
I had the quinoa bowl, and it was exactly what I was expecting. It was really hearty and oh so delicious. My over medium egg was cooked perfectly.
The coffee was absolutely amazing. I had a flat white. Simple and allowed me to actually taste the amazing flavor of the coffee beans used.
The service was friendly.
