About
Mapache is a small bakery and bistro with a calm backyard that shifts from morning coffee to evening cocktails. The freshly made pizzas come with creative toppings, the croissant gets called the best in town, and drinks like the Pink Flamingo and Tortuga bring people back after dark. Staff are warm and unhurried, the kind of place you end up visiting twice in one day.

We loved this small bakery/cafe. The self made pizza is extremely tasty, with a nice crust and creative filling (pumpkin sauce, zucchini and almonds with a smoky note). The cocktail was also a delight. I had a pink flamingo. Long story: We were on our way to another restaurant to get some drinks and dinner and we passed by this shop. We saw people having fun, playing chess and sipping drinks. We stopped and sat down (not knowing it was way past closing hours). We were received in a very friendly and open manner, advised on drinks and food. We enjoyed our meal and food, in utmost relaxed atmosphere. We found out that the shop is closed just after checking online what the schedule is, to know if we can have another drink. I wish we had more time in Samara to visit again. These kind of experiences are what make the vacation so sweet
I’ve been here several times already, and it has become a regular stop for me — both for breakfast and for lunch. It’s a great place to eat in, with a very nice, friendly, and clean atmosphere. The products are excellent and extremely fresh. A truly authentic Italian-style spot, but set in Costa Rica, definitely a place worth trying.
Came for a delicious coffee ☕ before my pedicure... Returned asap with friends for cocktails 🍸 🍹 in the evening, spending some hours with mellow bar music 🎶 in the calm backyard. If you are looking for a relaxed evening with really good drinks away from noisy big bars, this is THE place. Great Bartender, super friendly and knowledgeable. Don't just go there for the baked goods even if the croissant 🥐 is the best in town in my opinion.
