Ahava Cafe

Nice spot for breakfast. The space is relatively small, with seating at the bar, a small dining area with a few tables, and some outdoor seating as well. We were a group of 10 people and were treated very kindly. The coffee is excellent, and the menu focuses on healthy food. Prices are on the higher side, which is understandable given the use of organic and high-quality ingredients. Delicious food, but be prepared to pay a premium.

While the kitchen and waitstaff do great work, the heavy-handed moral messaging creates an uncomfortable atmosphere rather than a welcoming, neutral dining…

The food was so fresh and healthy. The owner and her staff were very nice. We came back multiple times during our trip. La Avena de Santi was our favorite.

We came to Ahava Café with our Rotary group for a presentation by Face of Justice, the organization that operates this unique café, coffee bar, and community gathering space. We had the beautiful backyard area all to ourselves, which made for a perfect setting to learn about the organization’s inspiring work. The food was excellent, featuring delicious traditional Costa Rican dishes, and the fresh juices were outstanding. The service was warm, attentive, and friendly throughout our visit. Ahava…

This is an amazing spot. The staff provided amazing service. Very chill and relaxing spot, but the food is just amazing. I had their day special, sancocho de res, and also had their protein pancakes. Great sancocho and one of the best protein pancakes I've ever had. Definitely will try to come back here soon.
