So a cute place in Los Sueños. You can sit inside or outside! We enjoyed delicious coffees and ice cream but will definitely return to try other items on their menu!

I live in Costa Rica. From NYC. This is the best bakery, sweets and gelato in all of Costa Rica. Very pricy. But qualitydoes not come cheap.

I was only going to get a coffee but the food looked too good to pass up. Ended up ordering a bagel with smoked salmon and I was not disappointed. It was delicious! The coffee was good as well. A little pricey, but worth it. I recommend sitting on the patio - the breeze feels great and views of the marina are nice.

Went here after dinner and ordered inside. I had the best experience and highly recommend if staying at the Los Suenos Resort and Marina. The staff went out of their way to create the experience we were after, pairing our taste with their locally made desserts. We had samples of different gelatos and Karla really helped us find the right pastry, a mil hojas and the Opera.
