After seeing this spot blow up on TikTok, I couldn't wait to try it out and let me tell you, the 2 hour drive was totally worth it! The staff was super friendly and helpful, but the real magic happened when I took that first bite of the sandwich. It instantly transported me back to my childhood, like I was sitting in my grandma's kitchen after finishing all my chores, just waiting for a meal that was well worth the effort. I can't wait to come back and try the big concha with the big hot chocolate definitely something to look forward to!

Amazing coffee, but the slowest service known to man. I've been here 10 + times and I only do so when I'm not in a rush at all because, as they say in the Caribbean, they seem to be on "island time."

I've been noticing this place for its large conchas and drinks, and it definitely caught my attention. Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to try the large pastries yet, but I've sampled the mini versions and loved them! I ordered the piña colada refresher, Duvalin, and white chocolate mocha drink--each one was delicious! I will be back to try their other drinks and bites!

Ahhh, so much love for this place! I'll start by saying it's conveniently placed on a corner in downtown SJ with tons of street parking surrounding. When you enter the, the ambiance is vibrant and welcoming. So now down to the food and drinks. The drinks are phenomenal and pretty authentic too when it comes to their cafe de olla and horchata latte (favorite). The pan dulce is always yummy and I had a friend try their torta and had great things to say. The workers move quick to get all their orders out in a timely manner, but it does get pretty busy here so try and come during an off time!

One of the best cafes in downtown!! Con Azucar not only has the gigantic cups of coffee and the delicious huge conchas, but you can get everything normal sized as well. I got the mazapan speciality latte and it came with a rim of dulce de leche and mazapan, and I also got a concha to go with it. The latte wasn't too sweet and the concha was perfect for dipping. The perfect breakfast! The vibes here are also very fun and they have a couple of photo opps in the cafe as well!

We have seen this on Instagram and have sent the stories back and forth. My daughter wanted to go here for the gigante coffee and concha! It is about a 15 minute walk from SAP to Con Azucar and decided to go for it. We walked right up to the counter, took a double take at the giant concha and realized the cute little bunny shaped one will do. We settled for the gigante coffee (made with leche and sugar). After getting the giant coffee, giggling at the size of the bowl and taking photos with it, we scooped it out and drank away. I'm not used to sugar in my coffee but it was good! I think it could feed 6-8 people comfortably. For us, we were determined to drink it, so it was equivalent to having 3 cups of coffee. The concha was truly memorable and one of the best I've had. The texture is soft and fresh, not dry. There was a family vibe to this place. We had a good time. The giant concha and coffee are great conversation starters with everyone next to us. The price was a little steep ($40) but worth the experience.
