Great little establishment, very friendly owner. Right near the entrance of the main beach, great place for people watching without the amount of noise in the main street. As mentionned in the previous reviews, the baked goods are great, fresh and warm. Highly recommended for a nice lunch.

My favorite breakfast place, the monkeys and birds visit frequently and the food is simple but excellent. And you can see the ocean shining across the way while sipping morning coffee.

This place is tops in my book! Great food, friendly service, just off the beach, wildlife spectacular, and great conversation and a good place to meet people. The owner and his son were a joy to get to know and the help is just fun to be around. These people really put their guests first! I LOVE the Vegetarian Omelet... More

The chocolate pancakes were definitely the best pancakes in Montezuma. Get one of their massive shakes, and go early to try the banana bread before they run out!

The owner, Luis, and waiter, Roberto engaged in conversation with us and were very accomodating. The food was delicious and fresh. The restaurant sits just a small walk up from the beach. We felt welcomed and they remembered us after our first... More

This restaurant is open for breakfast and dinner. The restaurant staff don't speak English. There is a menu, but not everything is available. Our best memory is that for half of the items we tried to order from the menu, the reply was " not possible", the only English they seemed to know, so it reminded us of a "Saturday... More

The morning we ate at the Bakery Cafe, the waiter had to share their single menu with three other parties. I began wondering what we were getting ourselves into at that point. Despite the sharing of the menu, we were pleased with the service and the food they prepared. The meal was visually pleasing and tasty. Each of us had... More

Probably the best meal we had all trip (arguably ever). We had the Consado del Pascado. It was SOOOO good. They also have amazing Costa Rican coffee.
