This place is super cute and a great location right across the beach! Our waiter was really friendly and helpful. My avocado toast was delicious but my only complaint is that the coffee and matcha drinks just tasted like milk. I wouldn’t recommend getting those since they’re already a little expensive in the first place. But overall really enjoyed it for brunch.

Great breakfast place. The food was fresh, delicious, pressed coffee is the best and amazing medialuna and cinnamon roll. A must try!!!

Quite expensive, but ok. The bread with avocado and poached eggs and salad was delicious, and the coconut water was amazing. The atmosphere right by the water was really nice. The only minor issue were the ants on the tables. I liked the service.

Best breakfast place around. No joke. They have the best bread (I say this as a German), best Croissant, and a great hot chocolate. Oh and try the French Press coffee! Service is also great!

We had the grilled cheese sandwich and the avocado sandwich. Both were good! Tropical Smoothie without sugar was great as well! Unfortunately we found it too late and therefore only went once. Definitely the best food we had in Puerto Viejo.
