We were here in Costa Rica visiting for a week and tried a new coffee shop each day, but made sure to stop here 3 times. Coffee is delicious, especially the iced cinnamon latte. The food and service were wonderful as well!

If you’re a foodie (or just in need of coffee or some food), you have to stop by this small coffee shop and cafe. We randomly stopped by for a quick coffee, and it was really good so we decided to order a small pastry. That was so good we then decided to order an entire plate, and then ordered more coffee for the the car ride. The ladies cooking and serving were incredibly nice and made it a great experience. Thank you Ticoffia Cafe.

This was my family’s last stop before dropping off our rental car at Adobe and heading for the airport. What a way to end a trip! My mom got the hot vanilla latte which was absolutely delicious. Not too sweet but perfectly creamy with a rich vanilla flavor. Nothing tasted artificial. I got the iced cinnamon latte and nearly passed away from joy and the excellent flavors. We got the banana bread French toast to share and it was unlike anything I’ve eaten in the US. The bread was so soft and dense and topped with pineapple, a caramelized banana, and a delicious berry compote to top it off. Absolutely decadent. A fantastic way to end the trip and I highly highly recommend eating here and drinking the coffee instead of a hotel breakfast. The service was exceptional. We speak a little Spanish but the workers were happy to help and make sure our orders were correct, even verifying in English so we could triple check we were getting the right thing. I could easily spend another trip exclusively eating here.

Stopped on our way to drop off our rental car at Adobe because the breakfast/coffee at our hotel wasn't the best. So glad we did. Ordered Coffee, chai, and banana bread French toast. Amazing! Go here and support these beautiful ticas!

Local cafe. About 11 minutes from the airport. Simply nice. The people, the food, and the coffee are good. Small but pleasant.

A nice spot to grab breakfast before heading to the airport. They offer a variety of typical local breakfasts as well as more familiar dishes like French toast and avocado toast. They also have many smoothie options and coffee drinks. We order the Tipico, Gallos, Cold Brew, and iced Vanilla Latte and enjoyed everything we had! Service was a bit slow, so give yourself time to not rush (because they aren’t going to rush to make your food). The drive to the airport is less than ten minutes from here.
