Such a posh little cafe with one the very few real lattes in Tamarindo. Really good sandwiches and it's air conditioned - a nice treat on Tamarindo hot day.

They have a nice deal for a breakfast burrito and coffee/tea -- I don't remember the price exactly but I do remember that it was pretty cheap and very good!! Costa Rica is getting pricey and they have great bang for the buck here!

I loved this place - I went there 3 times during my stay at Playa Tamarindo. It is a cozy cafe with a great service. Great place to meet other people and have a delicious breakfast (try the breakfast burrito and the sesame bagel) or light lunch (try the avocado melt). I also liked their smoothies and the bubble tea.

My husband I were lucky enough to find this cafe. It has the best food and atmosphere of all the restaurants we stopped at while in Tamarindo. Their sprout/red onion sandwich is AMAZING!! And, their breakfast portions are huge and very delicious. Just stop in and give it a chance. You wont be unhappy!!

The coffee was great, the sandwich was good. The bagel sandwiches were fantastic (better than Tim Horton's). Good variety of sandwiches and drinks; juice, hot & cold coffee and tea. Owner was helpful with directions and info. Owner and staff are very friendly . Good atmosphere, clean, free wi-fi. We stayed in Tamarindo Dec 2011 / Jan 2012 close to... More
