Tour of Ellie's Table

May 27, 2021

The Egan House is a beautiful, historic building that we are so lucky to call home at Ellie’s Table. Located on the main road, Camino Capistrano, guests are able to soak in views of downtown San Juan while enjoying fresh pastries, warm (or iced) coffee, sandwiches, and more. As a popular location for locals and visitors alike, the Egan House offers 5 inviting spaces on the property for you to pull up a chair, take a seat, and  savor the moment. Check out our 5 spaces below and choose your favorite for your next visit to our cafe!
