COSTA RICAN
This humble spot on Cahuita's main street serves delicious, reasonably priced
casados
cooked over a wood fire. Breakfasts here include free coffee; other meals come with your
choice of fruit drink.
Smoothie Bar & Crêpe Café
JUICE BAR, CREPERIE
At this friendly main-street spot, Sherilyn and Eddy whip up fresh fruit crepes and juices
mixed with water, milk, yogurt or ice cream. There's always an attractively priced juice of
the day (US$1.60), but even better is the
agua de sapo,
a delicious, sinus-clearing Carib-
bean concoction made with lemon juice, water, brown sugar and
loads
of fresh ginger.
Cafe Chocolatte 100% Natural
BAKERY, INTERNATIONAL
Greet the morning with a cup o' joe and a warm cinnamon roll, or unwind in the afternoon
with a refreshing
jugo
. Breakfast offerings include French toast and waffles, while the
lunch menu revolves around salad, spaghetti, baked potatoes and rice dishes. Hearty sand-
wiches on homemade wholegrain bread are perfect for beach picnics at the national park.
Pizzeria CahuITA
PIZZA
As the red-white-and-green color scheme implies, the ITA here stands for Italy, mother-
land of the two expatriate families who opened this excellent, unpretentious pizzeria in
2013. Grab a seat at the aluminum tables on the cement back patio and enjoy a surf and in-
sect serenade while you wait for your thin-crusted beauty to emerge from the wood-fired
oven.
