habitante cafe — Restaurant in San Juan

I'd like to review their food and coffee but we arrived at 04.32 and were told that they were closed, even though there were people sitting in the place and we just wanted a take away coffee (which they didn't know because they never asked) we felt uncomfortable the whole time. I guess it's a place for locals. So if you are a visitor, tourist (the group that usually spend 7 Times more on transactions) don't come here.

Correction. We added a star from the original 3. It is true that my phone didn't update time and we thought it was 4.32 when in fact it was 5.32. 30 minutes after closing time. All The other statements are accurate. We posted the review just after we left. The owner found us walking around the area and stopped us on the street saying that the review "is a lie". After apologising for the timing mixup and saying we would correct the error (Done) we attempted to mention that perhaps the message could have been delivered (in the shop and on the street) with less confrontation. There was zero traction. So perhaps there's some truth in the other statements, you should go and decide...

The owners and the rest of the staff are awesome people. As a barista, I look for good quality coffee, and in my opinion nobody still beats Habitante Cafe, this coffee shop has an outstanding environment with fresh, delicious food! Their croissants and focaccias are just out of this world! By the way, I am not the only barista that recommends this coffee shop, but almost all of the baristas in Puerto Rico say it is amazing! The flavors of the coffee encompasses the richness and brightness of freshly roasted beans that have a flavor like fruit, sugar, and sweet chocolate. This place makes you feel welcome and it is absolutely 💯 clean. If we look at COFFEE SHOP standards, it is absolutely perfect! Thank you Habitants...

Coffee: an amazing roaster from Columbia with deep and intricate flavors that this cafe knows how to extract. Very skilled baristas. Do yourself a favor and skip the sweeteners or syrups as it’s rare to get a coffee that tastes this good at a shop.

People: very nice and welcoming. Passionate about their products and took the time to describe each bean they have for purchase.

Place: A nice little spot with a bright vibe. Good for spending some time in chatting. Seating might not work for long work sessions.

This is a top 3 spot of great coffee in the San Juan area and if you care about what you drink, this is the...
