Santa Rita Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Tamarindo

Been in Costa Rica for 9 days now. This is the best breakfast spot we’ve been to!! Four pictures below:

(1) 🔥I ordered the The Local (2 Scrambled eggs with spinach, sweet plantain, avocado, fried cheese, Costa Rican sausage, homemade tortilla, and homemade tomato soup.) I highly recommend it!

(2) ☕️ My wife and I got iced coffee, and their ice cubes are frozen coffee. Great added touch! It was some of the best iced coffee we had in Costa Rica.

(3) 🍳My wife ordered the Vegetarian omelette and really enjoyed it.

(4) 🌴The store was a great atmosphere! Aesthetically pleasing and they even have a small gift section with some cool hats.

If I lived here, Santa Rita Cafe would certainly be one of my...

We enjoyed brunch today at Santa Rita. The staff is friendly, food tasty, and decor is well done. We had a burrito and smoothie bowl along with coffee. The iced coffee had coffee ice cubes and was lovely. The lady taking our order recommended hot sauce for the burrito. When it came they provide 3 different sauces of varying spice levels which was fun to try. Our boys were offered coloring materials and fun pop it’s to entertain them while we ate. The kindness was very appreciated. They both had a wonderful time. Definitely a favorite spot...
