After walking about 3 miles in the rain, we found a little piece of Heaven at Colon Coffee! The coffee and cake, baked by the owner, was SO delicious ! It is a very quaint and lovely little tucked away local coffee shop!

I spent about 5 months in Costa Rica in the town of Mora. I frequented this Cafe nearly EVERYDAY. The owner was extremely nice and his children that often helped him in the cafe were as nice. His food and drinks were always so tasty. I speak English and some small amounts of spanish and he made sure I was taken care of regardless of the language barrier. I plan to make me visiting Costa Rica a tradition for me and will always support his business when I am in town. Can't wait to visit again :)

Quality food good coffee and less that $3 per item for coffee break. Open space where you can hear birds and nature even so close to downtown. I liked.

Great place for a tasty snack and delicious coffee. Cortado coffee was pretty good, but the iced latte coffee is a masterpiece. They use Britt coffee.

Super cute place to read a book, chat with a friend or sit in a warm place with coffee during a thunderstorm. They're attentive and kind. The coffee is incredible. Loved everything we had here (latte, affogatto, banana bread, etc). They also have many types of milk which is hard to find here in Ciudad Colón if you're dairy intolerant or vegan. Love!
