Ciales is a well known coffee harvesting town in the mountains of central Puerto Rico. We were looking for an extra activity in the town after enjoying Asao, and ran into this museum and coffee boutique. It is rustic, but everyone is welcomed by a fresh cup of free Ciales coffee. We met the owner of the plantation, Mr. Pedro Pichy Maldonado, who took his time to give us a rundown on their coffee production operation. Following that, we were ushered to the museum and downstairs real life laboratory. Puerto Rico boasts some of the world's best coffee brands, but being so close to its production and processing, was pretty interesting. Great experience! The coffee beans or grounds purchased there are very inexpensive but of the highest quality.

Visited today and will definitely visit again. We were graciously greeted, given an very informative tour by one of the owners (in English) and learned lots of little tidbits of information about Puerto Rican coffee. The coffee is fabulous.

I wanted to show cousins visiting from Mallorca the essence of the coffee producing of Puerto Rico. Excellent locale! There are exibits of very old machinery from actual coffee roasting facilities. The place is evolving and contnuing to improve and adding coffe tasting área, coffee bar. I brought a bag of Don Pello Arabiga Coffee. The freshly roasted coffe smell surrounds you.Defintely reccomend this place to understand the origins of coffee production in Puerto Rico. Even the Popes in Rome used to receive bags of select Puerto Rican Coffee. Come and try the coffee and buy a bag to take home, Enjoy !

While we had a hard time finding it the experience was a real treat. The easiest way to find it is to google Museo Biblioteca del Cafe, Calle Palmer Cabalines, Ciales, Puerto Rico. As you drive into the town of Ciales the roads narrow considerably and it gets quite congested with cars. Also the Google maps directions take you up what seems to be sketchy side streets. Finally the museum is just one storefront that blends in with the rest of the block. Once you are close find the first available parking space and then ask for directions. As mentioned in the other reviews the museum hosts were extremely helpful and knowledgeable on explaining how coffee beans were graded and chosen for coffee. Of course the best part was drinking the exquisite coffee, which was complementary. Again while it wasn't obvious the second best part was the opportunity to purchase premium Puerto Rican coffee beans ($25/lb). We combined this visit to the Coffee Museum with a trip to the caves at el coayuco la cueva del Indio near Arecibo. A great day trip from San Juan.

I love coffee and have tried from many countries and wide range of price tags.This is the best coffee by far, specially when used within first couple of weeks after processed.Pichi, the owner knows his stuff well, and produces a unique coffee by selecting thr best beans from the island. Although he imports coffee from several countries. The coffee from Puerto Rico is one of a kind, best coffee I have ever tried.Don't miss it !!!!!!

I went there after I ate at Asao smoke House. It is a old coffee processing plant that was converted into a Museum. I learned a lot of the history of the coffee trade and how it is process. They have tours for any one interested, lectures and classes (to groups of 5 or more and by appointment). And after the tour you get to taste an excellent cup of premium coffee and you can also buy some home made snacks. If you are in Ciales, you must visit. Don't forget to buy fresh tosted coffee to take home.

We visited this place last weekend. We were welcomed with a complimentary coffee, as first visitors. The coffee was excellent, so we couldn't resist to buy another cup, as flavourful as the first one. No doubt, Puerto Rico still produces among the best coffees in the world. There is a very interesting exhibition of machines, artifacts, documents, dinnerware and coffee information, including an impressive lab for testing taste, aroma, color and all coffee matters. I'm sharing some photos. Of course you can buy there coffee from a selection of regional coffee growers, in whole beans or grind. This place is a must visit for any coffee lover with a great spice of history of what used to be this industry for Puerto Rico. We are planning our next visit along with the rest of the family, very soon. It was Sunday and we arrived there minutes after ten in the morning, so it was easy to park along the narrow street near the Museum. Thanks to Mr. Pedro Maldonado for the coffee and for such an interesting place to visit.

I went to this area of Puerto Rico last Saturday and entered in the Coffee Museum in the town called Ciales. The owner of this place is Mr. Pedro Maldonado, who I think is the III (third). His family and himself have been not only involved but really living what coffee is and what the industry has been for the island. The place has an area of relaxing atmosphere that invites to drink the elixir of the gods and you could have a conversation around the topic or about whatever. The relics that the museum shows are a living enciclopedia of what not so many knows about what is "coffee". Is extraordinary and extremely interesting to hear Mr. Maldonado expressing his knowledge about the mistics of the coffee. His wife is Mercedita, and is in charge to show the visitors the area of the history found in this town which is traditionally related to the industry. You can even take home a coffee tree.For me was a remarkable experience and I would like to invite everyone to make a trip to the center of the island and visit Ciales and its Museum of the Coffee. You will enjoy it and will learn a lot. Bring your children they need to know this part of our history.
