This place was not too busy but I felt very confident going in for a bite to eat since I was starving while i waited for a family get together. The wait was not long for the food I kinda should've took a pic of the coffee but I was not gonna leave without a pic of the food. Not pricy at all (I am visiting from New York) which I felt I needed to leave a nice tip for the service. 10/10 I recommend everyone go eat here and it's right near the beautiful pier if you like to walk after you eat.

Los visité en la mañana de hoy quede encantada. Atención rápida, eficiente y buen ambiente. Ordenamos de aperitivo las bolitas de amarillo con carne molida. Para tomar ordenamos 4 mimosas de acerola. En cuanto a plato principal tengo que decir… Lo mejores huevos benedictos que he probado. El sabor, presentación y porción fueron perfectos. Mi novio ordenó el revoltillo con salmón, también quedó complacido con su elección. En fin volvería de nuevo. Muchas gracias por la comida y atenciones.

Great place to visit when you wanna relax.
Café lucero is a restaurant/coffee shop hybrid that's near the beach area.
Inside you'll find it's a beautiful place. It's nice and cool (which considering Ponce's heat, a big plus), spacious, and you'll likely be welcomed by 80s or 70s music.
As for service, a server receives you at the entrance, and they lead you towards your table.
As other reviews mention, service here is slower than usual (35-45 minutes for the food, even if it's simple) so I recommend you don't come in here too hungry or in a rush.
The food is top notch. Usually if you pick apart a sandwich, the ingredients are disappointing, but my waffle sandwich was excellent. Everything, from the fried chicken, to the eggs, everything was tasty and pretty to look at.
Prices are higher than your average brunch. The non-brunch meals are also high. I didn't mind because the ambiance was wonderful, but it's not a cheap eat either.
Overall, a really good experience.
Good food, beautiful place, high prices, but high satisfaction.

Delicious coffee, incredible food, nice atmosphere, and amazing service! Would highly recommend this place even though it’s a bit out of the main downtown area.
Loved the sampler platter (particularly loved the fried cheese balls) and the mofongo with mushroom sauce was very yummy.

The space is perfect. The food is delicious. The service was pleasant. The prices are reasonable if not lower than expected for the quality and taste. The chef/cook knows what they are doing. Impressed.

Located at an old remodeled warehouse, it offers unusual cuisine in a very pleasant atmosphere. Went there for a brunch. I had the salmon omelette. Looking forward to have it again or maybe explore other deliciously looking dishes.

Excellent food and ambiance. Delicious coffee! They offer alternative milk options of soy or almond milk. Ordered the soup of the day (chicken soup) and it was the most amazing chicken soup I have ever tasted! We also ordered the chicken empanadas, which were adorably small and the filling was delicious, and the stake with shrimp plate. Everything was so amazing! However, something to keep in mind, this is not a place to come to, if you are in a hurry. While the appetizers and drinks came out very quickly, it took a long time to get the rest of the order, but it is well worth the wait! This place was hands down the best meal we had on the island!

This place was a gem, we drove in late and had no plans for the day. We woke up and found this place and I'm thankful we did. The bartender there was one of the sweetest people we met on our entire trip. We didn't get her name but you won't be disappointed because everything she recommended was amazing and the coffee cocktails are absolutely on point. I would recommend this for anyone in the area. Make sure to order the cheese balls 🤤

El servicio fue promedio ya que una vez sentado la mesera llegó varios minutos después y luego de haber tardado en traer la orden (casi 30mins) no la volví a ver mas. Tuve que pedir las cosas que necesitaba a otro mesero. Por otra parte, la comida es rica y los precios estan bien aunque econtré el menú de brunch muy simple, con poco detalle de lo que trae el plato. Tiene estacionamiento en frente.
Does this bellong to you?
