    This gem of a spot provides a warm and welcoming ambiance that immediately makes you feel at home. The service was lovely, with staff exuding genuine hospitality. However, the food undoubtedly stole the show. Each dish was exceptionally well-seasoned and bursting with flavor. Hands down, the best breakfast I’ve enjoyed during my visit to Puerto Rico. Highly recommended!
