Antique Bakery — Restaurant in Puerto Rico

A Must-Try Breakfast in Puerto Rico!

This little mom-and-pop bakery was a highlight of our trip to Puerto Rico! Even though we were rushing to a snorkeling excursion, stopping here for breakfast around 7-8 AM was the best decision we made. We grabbed some coffee, oatmeal, and their pressed sandwiches, which were an absolute revelation. Seriously, those sandwiches were the best meal we had in all of Puerto Rico!

What truly made the experience even better were the people. The staff were incredibly friendly, and even though we didn't speak the language, we had absolutely no trouble communicating. The locals went out of their way to understand us and help us pick the best food, ensuring we had a great experience. While we were enjoying our breakfast, we watched them preparing lunch, and we can only imagine how delicious that must be. I'm already dreaming of my next trip to Puerto Rico, specifically for another one of those incredible sandwiches. If you're ever in Puerto Rico, you absolutely have to check...

A woman down the hall from our condo suggested this bakery when we asked about good coffee. She said to make sure we buy a loaf of sobao (or pan sobao) and she assured us that we would eat it in the car on the way back. It is a small place that resembles a convenience store. We ordered 2 donuts and the bread and the clerk had to get someone from the back to help translate as we don't speak Spanish. Holy cow! Our condo neighbor gave us a stick of butter to sit out. She was right. I could have eaten the entire loaf. It was almost a magical experience. If we return to Luquillo, Antique Bakery might be...

We went on a Friday afternoon and got a Cubano sandwich with everything and pastrami sandwich with everything. We also got a couple bakery items and an ice coffee.

The sandwiches were good- I love how much flavor they had. The cubano sandwich meat was a bit dry and tough to chew but wasn’t too bad. The bread was nice and toasted warm which we really enjoyed!! The ice coffee was served in a paper cup with a little bit too much ice for my liking.

The service though was a 3/5 for me- the lady at the counter did not have a welcoming attitude.

Overall I’d come back again and try something else...
