A little pricy but this spot is great for breakfast anytime, lunch or dinner. Great coffee, wine and liquor selection in a good and filling menú. We would describe it as an upscale dinner.

Hands down our personal favorite coffee in the city, freshly harvested in the mountain town of Jayuya (highest elevation valley in the island) about 2 hours from San Juan. This place is centric to a lot of office buildings so expect to see the local city workforce sitting here to unwind and charge up. You can also visit Hacienda San Pedro's local farm in Jayuya to experience the process of coffee harversting and planting. Just google Hacienda San Pedro Jayuya.

Build a team, rent a court and play some indoor soccer. Maybe some beach volleyball? Or tennis? Rent an outdoor space and hang after at the local bar. Yea, its drinking, but if you exercise right before it's healthier... I guess.
