Passed by this place every day while going to the beach, decided to stop by for ice cream the last day and no one was there to wait on us. Waited for about ten minutes and still no one showed up. Too bad, looks like this place has good reviews.

Hello There, We are so sorry for the inconvenience in not getting serviced at our establishment. We think that this was due to the fact that we are currently closed for a short vacation , taking advantage of the slow season. We still are saddened you couldn't try our food and we can only hope that if you are ever... More

We stayed in the hotel next door and so had breakfast here both mornings. Egg, tomato and bacon on an English Muffin, fresh Banana Bread and awesome coffee. The staff are super friendly and there is also a cute little patio out the front to sit, relax and enjoy!

Great Chicken Sandwiches. Got there before they were serving lunch. When they owners showed up with the goods-they were very friendly & accommodating letting us taste the various drinks until we decided what we wanted. But the Home baked bread & Free Range chicken sandwiches were terrific.

Super chill place. Organic everything sourced from Costa Rica. Breakfast or lunch. Great sandwiches & vegan treats. Hidden up the hill a little- worth the walk if you're exploring local places. GREAT front porch perfect for morning ice coffee. The owner from NYC- west side of course ;) Stayed for an hour and chatted, he's super cool. So may people... More

Kept comming back for breakfast and lunch since the food was fresh and reasonably priced. All of the products provided are from Costa Rica and local producers only. The owners were very friendly and a wealth of information on the area that gave great advice on places to see that we would otherwise miss. The front porch was my favorite... More

Perfect place for lunch or quick mid-day snack. Sandwiches are made with fresh products grown locally. La Bodega sells many other organic products, including juices, coffee, and cookies. Great value for money!
