Super cool garden cafe with the best coffee we’ve had in Puerto and heaps of delicious healthy options for meals. The service was friendly and fast, the food was super fresh and delicious. I would recommend to anyone who is into healthy yummy food and good coffees. And they’ve got a little shop up front where you could buy a nice souvenir or some of their tasty herb salt or chili oil! And if you’re in the mood, their decor is gorgeous and artistic, including the little art gallery inside the side of the cafe.

I had the pleasure of dining here for breakfast, and I must say, it exceeded all expectations. The food was absolutely fantastic—each dish was made with super fresh ingredients and presented artfully, showing true attention to detail. The flavors were vibrant, and everything tasted as good as it looked. The service was impeccable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed, without being overbearing. The atmosphere was also a highlight. The shady, cool patio, surrounded by lush trees, made for a relaxing and enjoyable setting to start the day. I’ll definitely be returning soon!

This place is amazing! We came for breakfast. The fruit bowls were delicious, the mocha with the little piece of carrot cake, to die for. A friend said the goat cheese avocado toast was the best!

The perfect place to get breakfast in Puerto Escondido if you value locally sourced ingredients and quality meals. The atmosphere is relaxed and accommodating to all needs. The flavors all paired wonderfully and our 9 month old baby was also attended to with a high chair and fruit bowl (at cost). Highly recommend.

What a SPOT! Live music, delicious and fresh food, and a beautifully shaded backyard space. I love this place. The single espresso was one of the best we had in town too.

Came here three days in a row, the juices, food, and coffee was amazing. Everything was fresh, and catered to a plant based diet. Good portions, very friendly staff.
