  • I'm craving it!
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/15/09
    It leaves you craving more. I went there for breakfast all four days that I was in San Juan. It was so yummy! Their Macaroons are incredible!

  • Best breakfast place around Old San Juan
    By alejandra, 07/20/09
    This is a locals classic! On Saturday and Sunday morning it's almost impossible to get a table! Try it week days, and you'll be eating in one of San Juan's historic places to eat. It's best known for breakfast food. You have to be open minded as this is not a high end place. It's simple, yet very popular. Try the "mallorca" with butter!

  • I want more!!!
    By Leslie, 05/22/09
    I had seen a 40 dollars a day program by Rachel Ray talk about this place, so i decided that the next time i went to Old San Juan, Puerto Rico this would be my first stop and it was. I went about two weeks ago with my boyfriend for vacation and stoped at La Bombonera. I asked for a Mallorca with American Cheese and a coffee with milk...yumm oohh!!. ...

  • The Best Brunch I could have ever had!
    By Auburnyellwrose, 04/21/09
    The food was excellent! My recommendation is the Mallorca which is a grilled sandwich with confectioner's sugar to which you can choose to have plain butter or my fav was cheese and bacon. So crispy and savory. The cafe is so sweet! Also have some jugo de china (or fresh orange juice) so good. But again, go around 10 am or 11 am - the ...

  • the Locals go here
    By CasandraM, 02/05/09
    My husband and I (from Austin Texas) were visiting our daughter in Puerto Rico. She asked the locals where to go in Old San Juan. They recommended La Bombonera. It met our expectations. The coffee was great, the flan terrific, and I loved the ham, cheese and egg Mallorcas. Ummm, I could smell the butter in the air. I'd go again in a heartbeat.

  • It's the Bom
    By tee rizz, 10/19/08
    My familiy and I stop here every trip we have to PR. It's where the locals go, so you know its good. If you're looking for REAL food, this is the place. You can watch them squeeze the oranges for your orange juice. Try their mallorcas, the cuban, or just a plain old pancakes and eggs bfast. Don't leave without picking up some of their pastries up front. Its cheap, good and authentic.

  • Don't miss it
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/03/08
    If you want the feel of Old San Juan then don't miss this cafe. The food is good and reasonable in price compared to other area cafes. We were allowed to share an entree and then indulged in some of the baked goods. The "waiters" are very helpful and work hard to make sure your experience is a good one. We definitely would go back.

  • MALLORCA
    By Jody, 05/29/08
    ONE OF MY BEST FINDS ON MY VACATION TO PUERTO RICO. WE ASKED A LOCAL IF THEY COULD RECOMMEND A PLACE FOR COFFEE AND DESSERT. THE OWNER OF A LOCAL AND FAMILY RUN HANDMADE SOAP SHOP RECOMMENDED LA BOMBONERA. IT WAS A TOTAL DELIGHT. THIS WAS DEFINITELY A PLACE WHERE THE LOCALS HANG OUT. MY HUSBAND AND I EACH HAD A MOLLARCA. IT WAS DELICIOUS. IT ...

  • Breakfast Treat
    By Craig, 05/19/08
    I've only eaten breakfast there, but I go there every time I'm in San Juan.

    The thing I always get for breakfast is the Mallorcas. It's sort of like an English Muffin, but they are flat and have powdered sugar on the outside. Delicious! I like them with just butter, but you can get them with cheese or eggs.

    Their pastries are also top-notch.
