Café del Sol

Very cute cafe with perhaps the best eggs Benedict I’ve ever had- red onions and capers made the delicious lemony hollandaise really stand out- bacon was served crisp. Amazing! Everything was delicious. Kids had the French toast and my wife had the avocado toast. All were fantastic. Took some croissants to go because why not?

Poor choice. I was warned by others, but gave it a shot because the sun was setting and the beach front atmosphere looked amazing. And the atmosphere was great! I ordered quickly with a lovely server. My sparkling water was brought out quickly. Then I waited 35 minutes for beet ceviche. The table next to me left after 15 minutes of no one coming to welcome/drop menues. I didn't get my food until I asked. The beets were over cooked with baked chickpeas on a wilted bed of lettuce. The bill $10,394 Colones. Nope.

We got breakfast here at Cafe Del Sol in the bakery area. It was amazing. The iced coffee with a splash of milk was surprisingly creamy and chocolaty, I will coming back for another one! The scones were also a delicious side item with a hot latte. I liked the cups and platter for coffee and the French style chairs and tables. With indoor and outdoor seating you can eat in the A/C or in the ocean breeze which is a block away. The tropical pancakes were perfectly sweet with fresh fruit on top, we bolstered our choice with a side of eggs and bacon (both were great). The granola comes with a little yogurt, I stole the side of yogurt that comes with the pancakes to give me more. But the fresh fruit with the granola was heavenly. My kids said the orange juice was the best they've ever tasted. The Tico breakfast was traditional and delicious (not pictured cause it was take out for the husband). The service was also exceptional, I didn't catch her name but the lady servicing the bakery was so kind and helpful. We had a great experience.
