Xkape Kob´an

Pure Guatemalan culture is located in this tiny restaurant in Cobán. The restaurant has high quality foods, traditional Guatemalan plates (food wise and literally wise). The Home made organic cheesecake is something I’ve never had before! The atmosphere and gift shop is artisan and one really feels apart of the Mayan culture here. Xkape Kob’an is impressive.

We really wanted to like this place given the concept and the previous reviews. The presentation looked great but the taste was not. Our breakfast was very disappointing and didn’t feel fresh. We opted for the two breakfasts that contain sausage and one was like a mini casserole with tomato sauce. The sausage was so dry it basically crumbled but maybe that’s how it’s meant to be served. Both the dishes were not warm and the casserole felt so dry with hard edges. Honestly, we have had better breakfasts for a better price.

beautiful space, great selection of local products at store, and home made dishes with traditional ingredients. Superb chocolate with cardamom.

Absolut fantastic food, made with old traditional mayan recipes. The chocolate drink was also very good. The herbs and flavors are very unique, it was very delicious, I will definitely come for a visit again.

The most relaxing restaurant in Cobán! Delicious breakfast, good coffee! You can buy their coffee beans and chocolate there also.

The best meal I've had during my 1 month in Guatemala. I wasn't even planning on stopping in Cobán, but it is worth it just to experience the gastronomy here. One of the owners explained the concept of using ancestral recipes and techniques as well as heirloom ingredients when possible, and it is reflected in the delicious food and drink. The vegetarian bachá of kale and mushrooms carried so much flavor, as well as the precolombian Pinol drink. As the owner said, "We don't serve soft drinks. That is not what our ancestors drank with their meals," and I appreciate this adherence to ancient methods. Furthermore, it is a green oasis in Cobán's concrete jungle. And they MAKE THEIR OWN BAGS out of NEWSPAPER!! What a beautiful, sustainable initiative to support our Pachamama. Besides the amazing food and beverage, there is a store with much local art and ingredients, great for souvenirs or snacks. My only regret is that I had to leave before I could return in the morning for cacao and breakfast. ¡Gracias por su servicio y esfuerzo!

Delicious food! Lots of vegetarian options in fair prices. Great atmosphere and decorations! Also a store within the same place with local, homemade products.

If you are visiting Cobán you have to come here!! The atmosphere is outstanding, and the authentic Guatemalan food is so delicious. Very good prices and truly amazing service!! They also have a cute shop attached to it with all sorts of goodies. My girlfriend and I have been all over Guatemala and haven’t found a place quite like this. It is super amazing! Definitely will be coming back.
