Creator's Key Takeaways

why has it taken us this long to visit Old San Juan I have no idea

we arrived in Old San Juan around 9 30 in the morning excited to try the number one rated coffee shop in the entire city

that place was really cool and that drink was amazing but we cannot afford to be drinking 14 drinks all night

so I think the Cannon Club here is a must stop in Old San Juan it is a little bit pricey but it's a really unique experience
