AMAZING! This restaurant might be my favorite part of Costa Rica! Soooo yummy and I love the aesthetic and atmosphere. And a cool view of the beach waves across the street. We ordered so much food on the last day because we’ll miss it so much. I got a frozen chai tea with almond milk and caramel which was extremely sweet, just the way I like. Also pictured is the baya omelette, avocado toast & poached egg, croissant delight, and açaí bowl. Amazing!!! Their chocolate croissants are also really yummy.

Went here post beach workout and swim - smoothies were very good and reasonably priced. We also shared a burger and was very good - seemed to be a home made bun and real bacon. (Burger not pictured) Fries were good but not the best we’ve had in Puerto Viejo, but they were hot. Was about $28 USD for the two smoothies and one burger. We are more excited to come here for breakfast tomorrow because you could smell the home made croissants and cinnamon rolls. Will definitely be coming back tomorrow. Good place to work on your laptop. UPDATE: Went back for breakfast and the croissants did not disappoint. Smoothies again were amazing and the bacon and egg sandwich was a 10/10!! Must stop for Breakfast/Snack

A fantastic cafe in Playa Cocles, with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. I stopped by for a coffee and one of their freshly baked cookies, and it was heavenly. I would highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area - it’s fabulous!

BEST CROISSANTS in PV... They are almost as good as Paris ! Flakey, buttery and floofy. Ive also gotten their bread loafs & brownies to go, super yummy. Coffees & espresso drinks are very good. Ive gotten the bacon, egg & cheese croissant sandwich & avocado toast l. Both were very good. Staff is friendly, attentive and helpful. Atmosphere is totally chill with beautiful beach views. Definitely loved this spot...

I love Baya Baya! Great for a morning matcha latte and healthy breakfast. The view is incredible as it sits right across the street from Cocles beach. The staff is very warm and helpful, and I have a great experience every time I’m here. Check it out!!

Yummy! This place has fresh meal options, great presentation, and great service. I've gone twice in 2 days it was so good. The spinach omelette had the perfect ingredients. The salmon on the avocado toast was fresh and tasty. The smoothies don't skimp on flavor either. Breakfasts are served with fruit bowls and most everything else comes with a side salad . I highly recommend it.
