The Lobby Bar is perfect for "noshing" , and if you don’t know what that means, it’s a New York word for eating something small, as in let’s have a nosh. Noshing also implies continuous eating. In this context, I am taking the first definition. There are only 3 tall, marble topped tables which are set in front of the bar for seating. Each one is graced with a single stem of yellow bird of paradise in a glass vase. For effect, they’ve filled a large bamboo basket with loaves of different sizes and shapes to start the salivation process. They have a full espresso bar with all sorts of coffee concoctions including cappuccino . They proudly display sealed packages of the island’s premium brand, Alto Grande . In addition to coffee, you can have tea (thank heavens) and I was able to get English breakfast one morning, and Earl Gray on the next. There is also natural sugar to be had, or turbinado, as it is commonly labeled on packets. In the food display case, you will find some familiar bakery in the way of croissants , muffins , assorted breads, and danishes . I was more attracted to the mallorcas which are sweet breads powdered with sugar and simply divine. They have fruit tarts incorporating strawberries, kiwis, peaches, mangoes, - it’s hard not to stare as the visuals are almost as enticing as the tarts themselves. There are cheese stuffed pasteles and guava stuffed which are also wonderful as they are not too sweet. I tried the raisin bran bread the next day, and it was quite good as it was most likely baked with brown sugar. Hector Cardwood is the Marriott's award winning pastry chef whose marvels are displayed here. Every bakery in San Juan, or in the rest of the island for that matter, has a reposteria , which is a sweet shop. I don’t recall seeing juices here, but it’s not meant to get complicated. Many people also come to the bar para llevar , which means to take out. They are quite slow in serving, so slow your pace down if you originate in the Northeast.
