Café Negro — Restaurant in San Juan

I am not a Karen but the service was so bad that I had to make my first review. Came in on a Sunday morning, was informed wait time would be 30 minutes and provided them my number to notify me when my seat was ready while i wait in the car. After about 40 minutes (and never receiving a call from them) decided to go inside to check my place in line. Was told 3 people were ahead of me and it would be another 15 minute wait. There were people after me that signed up in line that were seated already. Decided to wait inside and after about 5 minutes was told my table was ready. Placed our order and waited an hour for French toast and a sandwich. Not once did the waitress come to ask if we needed anything while we waited for our food. We noticed people that were seated after us had received their food which prompted us to flag her down after about 45 minutes of waiting to ask how much longer for our food to come out. We received our food 10 minutes later. Food was okay but not worth the...

The wait time was approximately 15 min. All are taking precautions to avoid the pandemic spread. The coffee was delicious and served in a generous cup. The food was stunningly presentable, very appealing to the eye and amazingly delicious. Prices are not so bad. The attention from all of the waiters was excellent. The staff is very polite and welcoming. All were looking out for the customers, checking in from time to time if anything was needed. There is a parking space in the back.

I hope that will change due to the fact that the inside of the place makes you feel homey. Bathroom was very clean. All in all it deserves 5 stars, even though we can double the stars based on...

A great spot for a quick brunch or breakfast with a delicious menu. The waffles were a standout, perfectly crisp and topped with fluffy whipped cream, Nutella, and fresh fruits. The eggs were cooked exactly to our liking, which was a nice touch.

However, the Montecristo sandwich was underwhelming, made with just one type of ham and layered with three slices of bread, which threw off the balance of flavors and texture. We also wouldn’t recommend the mimosas, both the strawberry lemonade and orange versions tasted watery and bitter, lacking any sweetness. Even our waitress confirmed that the juices used have no added sugar, which explains the lack of flavor.

One thing to keep in mind is that parking can be a bit tricky, so plan accordingly. Overall, it’s a solid option for breakfast or brunch, just skip the mimosas and the...
