I find local, homegrown coffee places more fulfilling. I like to pay for the actual coffee. No frills.This particular coffee shop is as simple as you can get. Passed it going to the beach, didn't stop. We returned the next day. It's called Cafeño in San Juan city proper. I love how the place takes you back to another era. The black and white tiles, wrought iron chairs, hardwood tables and intricate carvings on the awnings. It's like a good old mom-and-pop operation. Even the biscoccho jars were charming. I ordered an iced barrakko, a deep flavored solid roast famous in this part of the Philippines. It's the Filipino version of the Italian espresso. I really do wish places like this live on.
