Café Tico — Restaurant in Tamarindo

NO-O-O Not ever again. Not honest. 1.They rip you off. See oine menu price and bill attached They don't serve what they charge They don't serve what you order They move you off as quickly as possible, even when not full A general self-important attitude and "being busy" so questions not answered. 6.Not enough fans for number of tables. And they blatently rip you off

Newbie tourist to Tamarindo. It's real hot and I just wanted to stop for a drink. This is not the place to relax, they rip you off. I left pretty annoyed. For just 1 drin UUS1+over-charge, even though price questioned and menu referred to. Instead I was directed to stay away (I had mask) from counter. They even tried to seat me in sun nowhere near fan in middle of sunny day. In the 10 minutes I had that massively over-priced drink, I was asked 3x by same waitress if I wanted to order food. There were other tables for people to sit at and many solo clients just having a drink. So a strange attitude. I ordered a chai tea with almond milk and no sugar. It came with + 3 tsp+ sugar and normal milk (known as I now have sore throat). My attempts to ask questions ignored on basis they're all (suddenly)...

Amazing little spot in Tamarindo! We accidentally stumbled upon this gem while checking out the tours available in the area. Jay, the owner is awesome and puts so much passion into his cooking, and it shows! He and the staff are so friendly and take pride in making you feel at home.Our family during our 12 day stay in Costa Rica made this our regular go-to for breakfast.

Some of the items we highly recommend: (vegan options available) Poached eggs on toast with fresh avocado spread and tomato Bacon and scrambled eggs smoothies Poor Man’s Breakfast Cafe Americano Espresso Frozen Banana Pancakes Fresh fruit Breakfast tacos (veggie option, this was my absolute favorite) Homemade Simple Syrup (served with coffee) Homemade salsa on the side is to die for!! (Check out the online menu for details)

Service- Excellent Ambiance- quaint little place nestled in town surrounded by the jungle life and local vibes, casual and chill, family oriented Price- great for the service and fresh food!

Will miss this place when we head back to LA! Thanks again Jay for the amazing food, hospitality, and sharing your local contacts for things to do while we...

My mother and I went here for breakfast. The staff seemed very nice and friendly, but the service was slow, particularly for our table. Two other tables (one with 2 people and one with 4) who arrived after us were served, finished eating, and paid before us. There were only 4 tables in the restaurant, so it wasn’t particularly busy.

The breakfast was okay. My mother had poached eggs and I had eggs Benedict. We both ordered mango smoothies, but neither of us could drink them. They tasted like milk with a hint of mango and were honestly the worst smoothies I’ve ever had. Interestingly, the table of 4 also had two people who ordered smoothies and managed to drink theirs. I was so confused that I asked the waitress if they made theirs the same way, and she said yes.

I sent back my smoothie, but it wasn’t taken off the bill, which is fine. I understand that not every place can accommodate everyone’s tastes.

Overall, I wouldn’t come back, but I have to say the ladies working...
