Masa Madre Bakery & Food Lab

Recommended to try from a local. We went for a coffee and breakfast. Unfortunately they were only serving the pastries when we first arrived. I tried a chocolate croissant with a coffee. It was a soft style chocolate and very soft croissant. It was unique and delicious. The coffee was Italian style and GREAT. When breakfast started to get served it did look and smell very good. I hope to return for a PIZZA!! Owner was very engaging and nice to speak with!! The outdoor seating area is a great place to chill and relax with your coffee or meal.

I was craving something from El Mercadito on a Thursday night and ended up trying the sourdough pizza from Masa Madre Bakery & Food Lab, which turned out to be an excellent choice. The crust has that nice balance between light and chewy you expect from real sourdough, and the toppings taste fresh and well put together, so the whole pizza feels homemade rather than like generic fast food. For what you get in terms of quality and portion size, the price feels very fair, especially considering it’s one of the most talked‑about food spots in the Mercadito area in Tamarindo.

What a great little coffee shop.they bake their own bread too. Coffee was excellent croissant fluffy and heavenly. And they are 33% cheaper. Than the places on the main drag. And staff is super friendly and courteous. Only steps away from the daily hassle. Totally recommend this joint. 🙏🙏🙏
