El Júbilo — Restaurant in Arecibo

Ok ! This was One of the BEST places I’ve been for breakfast! And I am a breakfast snob! 🤣

We Needed somewhere with carnivore & vegetarian options …. This place was definitely the place to go after researching several others in the area- (that had high rating but turned out to be just average)

Went on Mothers day 2025. Did not regret it! The place was very easy to find , free public parking on all streets, in front and side streets. Cute cafe style, it was full and bustling, but almost immediately we got a seat. The atmosphere was very inviting, nice big window with lots of natural sunlight . Nice soft music as background ( not loud)

The servers were very attentive and personable- we were spoken to almost as soon as we got in - got a cute seat for two near a teal painted wall with real super green real indoor shrub !

Got menus but I didn’t need it - I ordered based on what I saw on reviews ( very important so keep taking those pictures)

The wait time was brief- the food was superb- looked like a work of art and tasted the same.

Got matcha - ceremonial - (the real thing not the sweet stuff), cappuccino, hummus platter and fruit platter with French toast , both with sides of scrambled eggs ,

we ate it all! Then got the last slice of very delicious carrot cake to go ! ( the best)

The price was reasonable - felt like I paid for what I got ❤️ good food good service.

We left happy and will definitely recommend it to others and will go back again when...

Definitely NOT a take out type of place. Cute cafe in the middle of nowhere. Was very busy so we only ordered coffees and pastry to go. We were advised it’d take 10 min. Paid upfront as instructed. Waited outside for 10 min as instructed. Meanwhile every table was served inside. After 20 min, we went inside to ask why we couldn’t just get the coffee and leave and we were told it’s policy to serve diners first. There were 5 people behind the counter and only one making coffee. After 30 min we decided to just stand around and ask for refunds but server had to ask permission from owner. Finally, owner came out but coffee was finally ready after 40 min. We just took the coffee and left. Pretty sure the servers were annoyed at us for not being “patient” so the latte tasted super bitter. While leaving there were 4 other parties waiting also just for coffee so we commiserated together. Essentially, if there’s no surfing going on, pretty sure it’s a decent brunch place. However, it’s not a cafe to get coffees for take out...
