Brunch; the combination of breakfast and lunch has become a lifestyle for me. I’m up and about at 10AM so I brunch every day. From mimosas, fresh homemade juices to omelet’s and pancakes there’s nothing quite better than a brunch. Puerto Rico has a few places to brunch and now the neighborhood of Miramar offers the presence of a new trendy spot, Caffé Melanzana. Myrella Aragón and Alessandro Calenda are the business owners behind this lovely 40-seat casual and relaxed coffee shop.
If you need to make a quick stop and order to go Caffé Melanzana offers bakery services where you can purchase coffee, artisan breads and pastries. But if you prefer to stay and enjoy a full meal a menu of omelets, French toast, fruits, pancakes, waffles, Benedict eggs, crepes and much more is available for you to delightfully devour.
During a private and exclusive tasting my friend Kritzia Vargas (Kokoloom) and I had the honor of enjoying a few plates from the exquisite menu. I honestly have to say that Caffé Melanzana’s Benedict eggs and waffles are over the top delicious and mouth watering. So when you’re in the mood for a good time and scrumptious brunch Caffé Melanzana is the ideal choice.
Brunches should be about looking casual yet chic. Putting together a super-cute ensemble makes brunches even more fun and sweeter. For my stylish look I wore a white crop top, mint skirt and comfy wedges. My accessories from Simply Fashion added a touch of boho-glam to my entire look.
Are you a “bruncher” just like me?
Be Lovely,

Fun & Historic fact: Across the street from Caffé Melanzana you will find Lady of Lourdes Chapel a neo-Gothic style chapel which was designed by famed Czech architect Antonín Nechodoma. Construction began in 1907 and it was inaugurated in 1908. Since 1984 it has been listed on the US Department of Interior’s National Register of Historic Places. I believe this is the perfect setting for a horror movie to be filmed. Don’t you think?
