The food and drinks were great. The chai was the best chai I have had anywhere. I got the brownie, the nutella cookie, the cowboy cookie, the pesto bread, the BLT, the quesadilla, hot chai latte, capuchino, and an iced latte with caramel. Every single thing on this list was fabulous and worth every penny. The girl serving us was great and we loved our experience!

We bought many items from Brioche. Everything is excellent. Pesto buns are super fresh, moist and tasty. Muffins are so tasty, moist and not overly sweet—perfect! Staff was very friendly and accommodating, especially considering we do not speak Spanish. Brenda, the owner, is exceptionally kind and helpful. Huge thanks from Heather, Dwayne, Kris and Wayne.

Great coffee and the desserts were delicious. My favorite one was the chocolate pistachio croissant. So creamy and melts in your mouth.

This place was a hidden gem away from all the chaos of downtown. Everything tasted delicious and the service and staff were great. We did both dine-in and take-out. Highly recommend their cinnamon rolls, caramel frappuccino, and generally any of their cakes. We kept coming back and I'd highly recommend them!

Beautiful small café with lovely staff and some of the best pastries you can find in the area. I really liked their granola which I bought for take-away. Highly recommended, and certainly worth the walk/drive since it is a bit out of town.

Such a cute cafe - located on a quiet street in Jaco! This is one of those hidden gems that has amazing coffee and a beautiful selection of delicious pastries. I love their breakfast and lunch menus, foods made with fresh ingredients and are so tasty! The staff are super friendly and the cafe is French inspired with a great vibe! Highly recommend.

Hidden Gem near Jaco, we stopped there on the way from Manuel Antonio to San Jose and honestly couldn’t believe what I stumbled upon, i had the best chicken patties and dessert paired with an amazing Frappe. My wife got a coffee and that was one of the best coffees I’ve had. Don’t get alarmed by the number of reviews, this is the spot! Must Visit!
