La Rincoeña Cafeteria & Bakery — Restaurant in Rincón

We stopped by this cafe in the afternoon, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The staff seemed to have an attitude—particularly the lady at the pastry counter, who wasn’t friendly at all. To make matters worse, there was a man outside the cafe blocking our stroller. Despite my husband politely asking him three times to let us through, he was rude and refused to move. It wasn’t until three kind caballeros intervened that he finally moved, but it was clear he was being rude just because we looked like tourists. As a Puerto Rican myself, it was disheartening to encounter this kind of behavior both inside and outside the cafe—it’s not reflective of the warmth and kindness of the island’s people.

To top it off, the pastries didn’t impress either. Thankfully, we found a better panadería just five minutes up the road, where the staff was friendly, and the pastries were delicious. I wouldn’t recommend this spot based on...

Im so grateful that the restaurant next door was full otherwise i may have missed this gem. I dont like beans but these beans and rice were out of this world, and good size servings. On top of that the guy helping us was so friendly and nice. Family of six with drinks and desert under $50. Im definitely going back in the morning. Beware they close at 2pm...

This was the best find of our entire trip!! The food was delicious and the owners are warm and gracious. It is a priority for my family on every visit to Rincon and I recommend the same to anyone else looking for authentic food in a friendly atmosphere. The prices are extremely friendly too 🤗. Big thank you Tito and Carmen, we will be back...
