Café Bohío — Restaurant in Jacó

The Ticos and expats we know frequent this coffee shop in the morning. We have only come in the morning each time we have visited. I am not a coffee connasuir but they seemed to come for the coffee in addition to meeting each other here. I tried and liked their watermelon mint iced drink and their pinacolada without the rum. (I'm guessing the one with the rum is very good as well) Their cinnamon roll and banana bread were both good for dunking in a coffee drink. Otherwise, both were on the dry side. My wife had the blueberry bread, and it was moist and delicious, no dunking necessary, but it was good both ways. The wifi was good enough for what we needed. The service is excellence. However, not everyone here can speak English, and my Spanish is terrible, so some minor miscommunication on one of several of our orders was much more likely my issue. It's definitely a place to drop in and try out if you...

Really cool place in Jaco! Was close to where I was staying so decided to try it. Ordered and went to a table to wait. 15 minutes later I noticed the employees hanging out and eating fruit, which is fine, but I still didn't get my order yet so I approached and tried to get someone's attention. After a few minutes of employees seeing me, clearly I needed something, no one approached. Finally I said "Hey, I haven't got my order yet" and I got a nod. The iced coffee came out shortly after, and my muffin didn't arrive until 25 minutes after I ordered. It wasn't heated or anything, which again, is fine. I just didn't understand the holdup. Muffin was delicious once I got the pleasure of receiving it. Will try again tomorrow and see if the service...

I don’t know how I missed Café Bohio at my first visit last year, but I must admit that I was very excited to find it this year! Costa Rica is a great coffee producer, but so far, didn’t had the chance to have espresso (I prefer by far espressos to filter coffee), and particularly a great espresso! I finally found Bohio which serves amazing nectars in the pure « Third Wave » school of coffee. Place is small but cozy and beautiful, and even bought a bag of their grains to keep those good memories for a little while at home....
