Cafe Sabor Cruceño

The food and views are amazing here. I came a few times while staying in Santa Cruz- it’s worth the uphill trek! Their espresso was the best I’ve had in Guatemala. I don’t even like chocolate cake but tried theirs and it was melt in your mouth.

Best part of this place was the view. The food was good, service was okay but I think our guy was having a hard day so wanted to give him some slack. Felt like the price was a little higher than average for the area but wasn’t significant. Nice spot for a drink and a view

Staff were incredibly friendly and inviting. The food was amazing. The quesadillas were the best I’ve had. The chicken fettuccine Alfredo was excellent. The view of the lake is by far the best you can get at a restaurant in Santa Cruz. A must stop if you’re in the area!

Wow! This restaurant really hit the spot and is well worth a visit if visiting Lake Atitlán. I would even say it‘s worth a detour to Santa Cruz if staying in the other areas. The restaurant itself is very spacious and has indoor and outdoor seating (with nice views of the lake). It’s a bit of trek up to get to, but easily accessible with a tuktuk. The food was fantastic and beautifully plated. We especially loved the quesadillas with chicken, but everything was really good. Desserts were delicious as well. It‘s also a nonprofit social enterprise and the food is cooked by graduates of a culinary program. They were all women, super friendly, and hardworking. They also have a shop on the first floor with really quality goods and offer cooking and other courses!

The roof top view is incredible. Came here for lunch. Everything we ordered was great. We walked from the dock. It is challenging, straight uphill 20 minutes. Hire a ride when in doubt.

The view is amazing as well as the food. They have local specialities, and you can sense it's fresh. The Balam juices are also really good. Waer a small jacket on the terrasse if it's cloudy outside. Prices around 50-70 per dish.

The view is absolutely amazing and you get to support a good cause! Food was really good too. The Santiago dish was great and the plantains with mole were delicious.

Absolutely loved our experience here! We did the cooking class and made local foods, they perfectly presented it once it was cooked which was a nice touch. Came back for brekkie go enjoy over the view of the lake. Highly, highly recommend!!
