About This Place

Nestled conveniently across from the Caribe Hilton in San Juan, Tropical Coffee Bar & Restaurant is a vibrant local gem that effortlessly combines authentic Puerto Rican flavors with a warm, inviting atmosphere. This charming eatery offers a diverse menu that will delight food lovers seeking both traditional dishes and innovative twists.

Start your day with their sumptuous breakfast selections, where fluffy pancakes melt in your mouth and perfectly cooked fried eggs with ham served alongside crisp baguette toast create a comforting, satisfying experience. The Breakfast Burrito, bursting with savory ingredients, is another standout that customers rave about. For those craving authentic Puerto Rican comfort food, the White Rice and Beans paired with Bistec Encebollado is a soulful, hearty choice, while the Chicken Stuffed Mofongo delivers a rich blend of textures and flavors that feel like a true taste of the island.

Seafood enthusiasts are in for a treat with expertly prepared Fried Red Snapper, Dorado Mahi Mahi, and the zesty Fish Tacos, all highlighting the freshness of local catch with succulent seasoning that dances on the palate.

    I had the most amazing experience at the tropical cat coffee in Puerto Rico. The food is amazing. The service is friendly. They treat you like a local. The piña colada‘s are perfection.

    Unsure what all of the negative reviews are talking about. All of the servers were super nice to us and kept checking back with us. We’ve ate her 4-5 times during our trip here, mostly for a quick breakfast. The food is honestly phenomenal!

    I was hesitating about eating here or not after seeing the comments but everything here is in fact pretty decent! Food portion and tastes are both amazing. Service is good too! I thought it would be more expensive since it’s located right next to Hilton but it wasn’t that bad! I’d say this is a hidden gem!
