Great food and service, my partner says this is the best mango (con leche) smoothie he’s ever had! This was our meeting place before heading out on a weekend tour of Corcovado National Park with Osa Wild Tours. It’s a great option for picking up an extra snack or coffee on your way out.

Best meal in Puerto Jiménez. The wraps were excellent and the fries are delicious. A must try for lunch or dinner while in town.

The temperature's in the 40's. Hellen's for the aircon and salted caramel milkshake win. Super-friendly, fast service and the milkshake tasted so good I gave myself an ice-cream headache. Banging.

We had great cafe frios while our children tried various desserts. It's a fun little shop and the food looked amazing. They also have local souvenirs you can buy inside.

The place initially appeared to be closed, yet we decided to give it a try and were pleasantly surprised to find it open and absolutely fantastic! I've never had such an outstanding iced cappuccino and frappe before. And those pancakes!! It's a must-visit; truly the gem of Puerto Jiménez.

Small but great vibes and nice food. Milkshakes, frappes, coffee and more for drinks plus a nice selection of basic but good sandwiches, burritos, hamburgers and other handheld eats. 11/10 would visit again.
