About Elsa y Fred
A vintage-styled cafe in Barceloneta serving homemade cakes, fresh juice, and creative brunch dishes in a retro setting with mismatched furniture. The walls display rotating local art, and the vibe is decidedly more bohemian than the beach bars nearby.
Insider Tips
The carrot cake is baked fresh each morning and sells out by 2pm - order it immediately if you see it on the counter
