Breakfasting at a 100 Year-Old Bakery in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico

For the authentic Puerto Rican breakfast experience, traverse the cobblestone streets of old San Juan to reach this family-owned staple, which has served sweet, buttery quesitos and powdered sugar-blanketed mallorcas to queued-up locals since 1902. While the coffee is better and the quesitos are richer at the more updated Kasalta bakery in chic Santurce, the fluorescent lighting, bustling diner ambience, stained glass and excellent fruit shakes at La Bombonera take you back a few decades and then some.
