Tazón Coffee — Restaurant in Bayamón

When I saw this restaurant on Yelp I instantly thought about Abracadabra and got excited. I thought "ooh, a brunch place near my house of Abracadabra quality? Nice!"

Unfortunately these high expectations were definitely not met.

Parking: non existent.

Decoration and ambiance: the restaurant is basically a converted house with very few tables. I understand completely that they were going for a rustic / industrial look, but at some point you stop being rustic and go straight into shabby territory. Things looked unfinished and that didn't look like it was on purpose.

Food: the food was decent, but nothing to write home about. I had a Monte Cristo and my friends had waffles and a meunster sandwich. They were all good, but could be better. Another thing I didn't like is the fact that the menu was somewhat limited. More variety would have been nice.

Service: the main reason this place gets a 2 instead of a 3 star review is the service. Generally speaking, the waiters looked lost and confused. We were brought the wrong food and when we asked for a replacement they told us we had to wait 20 minites... For French toast? Really? The waitress didn't care that we were displeased and actually gave us attitude. They should learn that service makes or breaks an eating experience. The food could be terrible but if the servers are nice I leave with a good impression.

Overall I did not enjoy the experience and will not be returning. I'd rather drive 20 minutes and go to...

I really didn't want to write this review, but it has to be communicated. This review is regarding the latte & espresso workshop (taller) led by Luis, the owner of Tazón.

We booked the workshop for me and my father-in-law in June. It was a Father's Day gift for him. The first half of the workshop was great, as it was an informational presentation. The second half of the workshop is hands-on. Unfortunately, this is where Luis demonstrated that he is not a good teacher at all. When my father-in-law was doing the hands-on work, Luis became extremely rude and condescending when my father-in-law did not do the correct thing on the first try. He said things like, "No! Is that what I showed you?! Did I show you that?! No!" It made everyone uncomfortable and my father-in-law had to defend himself. This is not how you treat students, and we paid a LOT of money for this. We left the workshop with a really bad taste in our mouths. This place offers some of the best coffee I've ever had, but we will not be returning or recommending it to anyone. I hope the owner can learn how to be patient and get over his ego. We may not be world-class baristas, but everyone...

Average…. We ate here 2 times and we are not likely to comeback. When food arrived, it was not complete and we had to remind waiter a couple of times to complete it. We consider that they have to work with customer service; each time we went to talk with cashier or waiter, answer or body language was not good, like we were bothering them. Also, I like that they are animal friendly, but they must put some limits to it. When we were eating, another customer brought a cat a let it stand in the table side by side with other customers. Also, if they allow this, they must clean table very good for the other person that is going to eat there. Food is ok for the price, and local is very big. Good place to do work meetings as they have a conference room. Also, they sell great...
