The food is very good. The menu is small, but covers all dayparts. The coffee is delicious, and they have a bar. There is a central patio, street seating, and indoor seating. We brought back 5 pounds of coffee. That is't the point. The owner here started roasting coffee, because the best coffee in the country was all being exported.... More

I've always loved Cafe Milagro's world class Costa Rican coffee but now it's official - the whole town agrees! Stop by when you're in Manuel Antonio and savor a cup or two. If you need a little something for family and friends back home it makes a great gift and is easily transportable.

This café, on the road between Manuel Antonio and Quepos is a gem of a find. Blink though, on the walk to the supermarket and you could miss it and be tempted by several other cafés on route because it presents as quite small and insignificant. Great things though come in small packages! Here is the opportunity to sit outside... More

This little cafe is an awesome find. We just happened upon it and I can't wait to return to Manuel Antonio to eat there again. The coffee was delicious and the service was some of the best. The food had such awesome flavors and came out piping hot. Kudos to these guys!

I heard great things, so I was disspointed when I went. My friend's rice was stale and hard and we said something to the waitress - she didn't make any attempt to fix the situation. It's overpriced and the souvenirs are tacky. My blackberry lemonade was good, however.

We stayed in Manuel Anotnio and were delighted to discover this little gem. The restaurant was only a short walk from our property. Everything was delicious from the fish tacos to the Costa Rican style shrimp dishes. The coffee is superb and the homemade banana bread is a must. The service is friendly and the prices are reasonable. Make sure... More

The chicken dish we had was wonderful, and we loved the coconut rice! We sat on the patio and had a romantic dinner. Will definitely revisit.

As others say, this is a great place for breakfast although the dinner menu looks really good also. Friendly service. Fruit plate was beautiful, omelette very good, and delish coffee.
