    Out of business

    Word is this location is soon to be occupied by a new restaurant specializing in "poutan," which I have been told by a sober Quebecois are Canadian french fries served with gravy and cottage cheese.

    Me and a friend went there to eat, the place seemed nice. We ordered a "guacamole con verduras" which was ok but way too expensive for the quantity. We also ordered a grilled vegetables sandwich. I am not difficult in food, but this was the...More

    Delicious smoothies

    Dessert-like smoothies combine chocolate, peanut butter and coconut. Lighter, healthier smoothies include cucumber, mint and juices. This place is very clean. Also lots of food, including good choices for vegetarians.

    Great little spot!

    mmmmm...Smoothies!

    My husband and I stopped here for breakfast during our visit to San Juan del Sur. My fruit with coconut milk and cinnamon was refreshing and his banana pancakes were amazing! The smoothies, however, were a highlight...huge and delicious...and around $3! Yummy!

    worth visiting

    Certainly worth spending time at this restaurant. My wife and I had lunch and on another occasion enjoyed a very good smoothie. Great to be able to sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere.
