And "El Rincon Del Café" is a must visit coffee bar in Puerto Plata. Located on Calle de Las Sombrillas, also known as Umbrella Street, you'll find there a variety of freshly roasted and brewed Dominican coffees.
What makes them so unique, and what makes the coffee even more delicious, is that the artisan coffees offer flavors that are hugely unique to the region.

Our favorite is without a doubt their chocolate milk with an aroma of raspberries. Just super delicious! And so we took that one home as well. But on the spot, we drank a cappuccino along with cookies, which we dipped in. Because at the end of the day: you drink your coffee how you like it best!
