Lonely Planet review for La Bombonera

The old-fashioned coffee machine hisses like a steam engine, career waiters in black trousers appear like royal footmen at your table, and a long line of seen-it-all sanjuaneros populate the lengthy row of bar stools, catching up on the local breakfast gossip. It shouldn’t take you long to work out that La Bombonera is a city institution: it’s been around since 1902 and still sells some of the best cakes in town. Come here for breakfast, lunch or an early evening snack attack and soak up the unique Latin ambience over a copy of the San Juan Star.

    knockout_zed recommends this,

    Mallorca. That's all I have to say. I had no idea what it was before I went into the place, but I can't stop thinking about it now. I'm still in San Juan as of this writing, so I'll be going back for the next few days. I've never eaten anything as decadent and delicious. Mallorca, mayorca, however you spell it, there is nothing like it.
