We just spent a week in Costa Rica near Jaco. We visited many of the local souvenir shops looking for something unique and local to take home for the family and stumbled upon this great shop!! We were so glad we did - the products sold there are all locally made - mostly Costa Rican but some for neighbouring countries... More

Delicious coffee, cashews, "Monkey Poop" and fruit licorice. Samples freely provided. The owner travels the country to find traditional Costa Rican made products, arts and crafts. The store is beautifully decorated, air conditioned and staffed by friendly faces. It is definitely a cut above the many souvenir stores on Avenid Pastor Diaz. I have bought many treasures from The Costa... More

Great little gift and coffee shop, the owner (sorry didn't get his name) had a couple of pots of delicious coffee brewing so you could taste before you buy. The quality of his gifts were very nice, loved the glass lizards and frogs! Something there for everyone....even Monkey Poop...nope, you have to go there to find out what it is.... More

We had a great time shopping here. Stuart is great (he's Canadian so speaks English) - he explained all the great things in his store and helped me arrange to have everything mailed to the US (via the local UPS agent - who came to the store and packed up all my things for me). We bought gifts for all... More

We visited Stuart in his store several times while in Jacob, and. Ought a lot of great gifts and things for ourselves. He knows the artists, their creative process and the story about each. Not at all like the other stores in town, this place is truly unique. More

Incredible product from around Costa Rica. Unmatched for the location of Jaco. You did not shop if did not stop in this shop More

The owner is a really nice guy who gives out samples of coffee before you buy. The pineapple licorice is great, the coffe is superb and it's anglo friendly, so those not fluent in espanol have nothing to fear. Why are you still reading this? Go to fruity monkey poop! More

Just returned from Jaco Beach with my husband and two other couples. Have to say this was one of our favorite shops of all times! We love the owner Stuart who has wonderful stories to share about every single item in his store - who makes them, the story behind how they make them, etc. He buys only from local... More

If you are looking for a product made by a local artist, with a story that has meaning, this shop is for you! Products are fabulous, and prices fair, but what makes it is the staff who is passionate about their work and the crafters they support! We will be back! More
