Ever since I first stepped inside this restaurant, it has been my favorite in Puerto Rico. Located in Old San Juan, halfway between Fort San Cristobal and the docks, Café Berlin boosts a bohemian spirit and an eclectic menu. In an island where people sneak meat into almost every item, this place is a true vegetarian’s delight: tofu sandwiches delicious enough to please the most skeptic eater, vegetarian quiche, eggplant sandwiches, the list goes on and on. Most of it is served with a side of blue corn chips. They provide breakfast items, fancy desserts, and plenty of food for omnivores, too.
If you go to Café Berlin—a great place to escape the noontime heat and relax—ignore the price and order a fruit frappe. You are almost guaranteed to start a chain reaction throughout the eatery as patrons say "I want whatever that person’s having." The mango frappe is particularly heavenly.
