San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua Still Feels Like a Secret Surf Town

"A health-focused café loved for its excellent coffee, smoothie bowls, sandwiches, and breakfast burritos—so much so that it warranted a return visit. The casual spot features outdoor seating adjacent to a skate bowl (with skateboards available to rent), making it a lively, family-friendly place for breakfast or a midday bite." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.

This is my favorite cafe in all of Nicaragua. Everything I’ve ever tried on the menu has been spectacular, you will not find better breakfast or lunch food anywhere else in the country. Since they moved locations to beachfront it’s even better than before. The collaboration with Masaya Home makes for an amazing ambiance overlooking the bay. Highly recommend visiting, you won’t regret it. Kudos to the owner for creating such an amazing concept. 👏🏽

What a great new location. The view to the ocean and new furniture were wonderful. I went with the Single Fin bowl and it was delicious. My husband had the steak sandwich...he is very particular about steak...and he will definitely be having it again. The cafe was busy when we got there - we got a booth as a group was leaving. So after reading some other reviews, perhaps by mindful that food may take a minute. Perhaps be grateful for the wonderful vibe, friendly staff,and yummy food obviously prepared with care. Small local businesses deserve our respect when they are so clearly caring about the product and the service! Well done guys :)

One of the best salads, Bliss Bowl, I have ever had! Great atmosphere! Great staff and the manager Karen! They have a little skateboard park attached to the back part. It’s super hot walking around outside in San Juan, but somehow the back patio gets a breeze! Coming here everyday on my trip for a meal!

Great food and coffee. My wife and I took our kids here and we enjoyed the food and the service here so much. Definitely a surfer/skater vibe sounds like the name was perfect for this place. The food was all really good and tasted healthy, not over processed or too sugary or salty. My daughter loved the açaí bowl. The day breaker French toast was a super unique flavor that was really enjoyable. We will be back for sure.

Longtime Ding Repair fan since day 1. Through all its evolutions and locations around San Juan, their food and quality is consistently delicious. The Single Fin bowl with a side of steak is perfection, and all their smoothie bowls and coffees are 10/10. Their new waterfront location is also so beautiful and calming, perfect for a morning coffee or coworking. Run don’t walk!

Such a lovely spot for a coffee! Lots of space, lovely chill decor and comfortable seating. Had the Mexican mocha (iced) and it was very yummy, nice flavours of chilli and cinnamon. Iced coffee also good. They have fans but it’s quite hot in there. Expensive! But I guess you know that when you choose to order :)

The restaurant is a pleasant spot with potential, but it lacks a warm, inviting atmosphere. The food was good, though nothing stood out. I wasn’t a fan of the spices used in the scrambled tofu, and the “vegan sausage” turned out to be a dry, overcooked veggie burger patty, which was a little disappointing. On the brighter side, the bread, avocado and roasted tomatoes were very tasty, but overall, it was a simple dish that needed significant improvements. Additionally, the menu was missing its dinner section, leaving very few options to choose from. With some adjustments, this place could be much more appealing.
