This is a great place for a quick snack or a light lunch (try the Maria panini!). The cupcakes are delightful, and they have free wifi. Also, right next door is Ocean State of Mind, my favorite local shop for clothing and beautiful souvenirs. • Sharana’s Bistro (Anasco, 00610, PR) o This coy, casual spot has delicious breakfast and it’s a great spot if you’re on your way out of Rincon.
