Timetable
For a coffee, brunch or breakfast, most cafés are open every day from 7am-8am to 4pm-5pm. To sip a cocktail at any time of the day, you will find bars open from 2pm to 9pm, or from noon to midnight, with variable closing days depending on the establishment, but most often on Monday. In short, there is always a place open whatever the time and the day to eat or drink.
What's very local
Coffee passion. With its paradisiacal beaches, colorful architecture, open and friendly people, lively nightlife... Puerto Rico is a dream destination in many ways. But this Caribbean island has also become a master in the art of the coffee break! Thanks to the revival in recent years of a high quality artisanal production, Puerto Rican coffee is very popular. If you pass by Ciales, don't miss to visit the coffee museum, you will learn a lot about the history of this precious beverage on the island. The farms, or haciendas, also open their doors to visitors, the opportunity to discover the plantations, beautiful estates, and learn more about the production process, up to the roasting: Hacienda Tres Ángeles, San Pedro, Monte Alto, Muñoz, ... to name a few. Finally, you will inevitably have the opportunity to enjoy a good espresso or delicious coffee con leche in one of the trendy cafés in the city of San Juan (Cuatro Sombras, Caficultura, Don Ruiz, Filtrado, Café con Cé, Café Régina,...) and elsewhere (Café La Finca in Jayuya, Friends Café in Mayagüez...) . You might just love Puerto Rican coffee!
Passion piña . The piña colada is THE national drink! This world famous cocktail, a sweet mixture of coconut cream, pineapple juice (fresh), white rum and crushed ice, is the pride of the Puerto Ricans, since it was created in San Juan. The history of its origins remains unclear, the identity of its creator controversial, but some say that the piña colada dates back to the 1800s: the Puerto Rican pirate Roberto Cofresí, would have served this drink to his crew to cheer them up. We like this version. So everywhere, and on the beaches during the weekend, you will find many kioskos (or street vendors) that offer it, with or without alcohol. The piña colada is the ideal cocktail to sip at sunset. And when you find the one you like, you'll definitely come back. A word of warning though: this delicious cocktail can be drunk like "whey" and the effects of the " ron oscuro" (local rum) used will not fail to be felt quickly, so be careful
Coquito, kesako? This typical Puerto Rican drink could be similar to an "eggnog", but... Puerto Ricans would say that it is much more! The holiday season in Puerto Rico lasts about 45 days (yes, yes!), beginning the day after Thanksgiving and ending in mid-January with the celebration of the Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián. The coquito, "little coconut", a clever drink, whose family recipe (based on rum, coconut milk and spices) is passed down from generation to generation, accompanies all the festivities. It is in a way the traditional Christmas drink
Chinchorros. These are food and drink stands that can be found everywhere along the roadsides, in towns and villages. The time of a takeaway order, a quick break, or a long moment to share, as long as the kiosk is equipped, and it can stretch over hours to discuss, lounging, listening to music, dancing ...
